Summary

Wendell Smallwood carries a 24.0 dynasty score, ranking 321 at RB.

Projection Rationale

His Verdict production grade and Verdict efficiency grade explain the gap between his performance and that of top RBs. Additionally, with 2 years remaining on his contract, Smallwood’s role security is moderate. This contract situation may impact his opportunities in the coming seasons.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Wendell Smallwood has a Verdict durability grade, indicating a moderate risk profile given his age of 27. This moderate risk profile may influence his draft value and overall team decision-making.

Opportunity Notes

Smallwood’s snap share decreased from 2024 to 2025. With 2 years remaining on his contract, his role is not secure due to moderate competition from other RBs. As a result, he may struggle to maintain his current level of production.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Raheem Morris coordinates an offense that primarily employs a zone-heavy scheme. This scheme may limit Smallwood’s opportunities, particularly in the passing game. His success will depend on his ability to adapt to this scheme and capitalize on any available opportunities.

Trend Assessment

Ceiling / Floor
