Summary
Tommy Akingbesote carries a 38.0 dynasty score, ranking 527 at DL. The 23-year-old DL has two years remaining on his contract, securing his role in the Bills’ defense.
Projection Rationale
His Verdict efficiency grade at the 50th percentile and usage grade at the 50th percentile suggest he can maintain his current level of production. With two years remaining on his contract, Akingbesote’s role security is solid.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Akingbesote’s Verdict durability grade at the 75th percentile and age of 23 mitigate his injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
The Bills’ 4-3 defense under Jim Leonhard’s zone-heavy scheme limits Akingbesote’s ceiling but secures his role.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Jim Leonhard coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 15.7% blitz rate, which limits Akingbesote’s pass-rushing opportunities. Akingbesote’s Verdict production grade at the 0th percentile indicates he has yet to establish himself in this scheme.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Akingbesote’s production has declined with a 0th percentile production grade, and he has yet to establish himself as a top-tier DL.
Ceiling / Floor
Floor: DL5; Akingbesote’s Verdict trade value at 745 and stable defensive snap share suggest he can maintain a mid-tier DL role. Ceiling: DL3; Akingbesote’s Verdict production grade at the 0th percentile indicates he has yet to reach his ceiling, which may be achievable with increased pass-rushing opportunities or a more favorable scheme.
