Summary

Zaven Collins carries a 84.0 dynasty score, ranking 90 at LB. Collins’ production remained stable in 2025, but his efficiency and usage grades suggest a potential upward trajectory. He is entering a contract year with one year remaining.

Projection Rationale

Collins’ 24 solo tackles and 6 TFLs in 2025 indicate a high floor as a linebacker. He graded at the 70th percentile in efficiency, suggesting his production could improve with increased opportunities. Collins has one year remaining on his contract, providing role security.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Collins’ 100th percentile durability grade percentile and age (27) create a low injury risk profile.

Opportunity Notes

Collins’ snap share trended stable in 2025, averaging 47.8%. He faces competition for his role, but his durability and efficiency grades suggest he will remain a key contributor.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Nick Rallis coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 23.9% blitz rate, which helps Collins’ production. The scheme’s man-heavy coverage approach limits Collins’ ceiling.

Trend Assessment

Rising Collins’ efficiency and usage grades have improved, and his production has remained stable, indicating a potential upward trajectory.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: LB3-LB4; Collins must maintain his efficiency and usage grades while increasing his production to reach this ceiling. Floor: LB5-LB6; Collins’ trade value (3,822) and overall rank (235) indicate a lower floor if his role or production decrease.
