Scouting report

Summary

Pete Werner carries an 85.0 dynasty score, ranking 86 at LB. Werner’s 2025 season stats indicate a stable production trajectory; he is 26 years old and has 2 years remaining on his contract.

Projection Rationale

Werner’s 2025 season stats (50 solo tkl, 4 TFL, 2 sacks) indicate stability in production. The 58th percentile usage grade suggests a consistent role, but the 38th percentile efficiency grade indicates room for improvement. Werner has 2 years remaining on his contract, providing role security and allowing him to maintain his current production level. Furthermore, his stable production trajectory suggests that he will continue to be a reliable contributor to the Saints’ defense.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Werner’s 90th percentile durability grade and 26 years old indicate a low injury risk profile. This low risk profile, combined with his consistent performance, makes him a valuable asset for dynasty teams.

Opportunity Notes

Werner’s defensive snap percentage trended down from 61.6% in 2025. The role is secure with no notable competition in the Saints’ linebacker corps. This secure role, combined with his stable production, makes him a reliable option for dynasty teams.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Sean Staley coordinates a multiple zone defense with a 24.9% blitz rate. Werner’s production is not significantly affected by this scheme, as he consistently performs well regardless of the defensive strategy employed by the Saints.

Trend Assessment

Stable. Werner’s defensive snap percentage trended down from 61.6% in 2025, but the 90th percentile Verdict grade suggests stability in his playing time. Additionally, his consistent performance over the years suggests a reliable presence on the field.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: LB1-LB3 with improved efficiency; must maintain a consistent role and improve his tackling numbers. Floor: LB4-LB6; the trade value of 3,868 suggests a lower tier range if volume decreases. However, Werner’s stable production trajectory and secure role make it unlikely that he will fall to this tier.
