Scouting report

Summary

Sheldon Rankins carries a 73.0 dynasty score, ranking 187 at DL. He had 15 solo tackles, 5 TFL, and 3 sacks in 2025, but his contract situation and age trajectory are concerning for his future production.

Projection Rationale

Rankins had 3 sacks in 2025, which indicates his pass-rushing production is still relevant. However, his Verdict efficiency grade at the 60th percentile and durability grade at the 76th percentile suggest he may be declining. His contract situation, with only 1 year remaining, and his age (32) also raise concerns about his future production.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Rankins’ durability grade at the 76th percentile suggests he has been relatively healthy, but his age and contract situation may increase his injury risk.

Opportunity Notes

Rankins’ snap share trended up in 2025, from 47.0% to 69.0% over the course of the season. However, his contract situation may limit his playing time in the future.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Matt Burke coordinates a 3-4 zone-blitz defense with a 21.9% blitz rate. Rankins’ pass-rushing production may benefit from this scheme, but his age and contract situation may limit his playing time.

Trend Assessment

Declining. Rankins’ snap share trended up in 2025, but his production and Verdict grades are declining, and his age and contract situation are not helping his outlook.

Ceiling / Floor

Rankins’ ceiling is DL2-DL3, and he must continue to play at a high level to maintain his current production. His floor is DL5, and he may be traded or released if he does not produce at a high level.
