Brent Austin, DB DEN | Dynasty Ranking

Brent Austin carries a 23.0 dynasty score, ranking 698 at DB. With 1 year of experience, Austin is trending up, but his age and limited production profile suggest a floor of DB5 with a possible ceiling of DB3 if he takes on a larger role.

Austin’s 2025 season line of 24 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a 1.0% missed tackle rate indicates a solid, but not spectacular, defensive back. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 58th percentile and durability grade at the 72nd percentile explain the gap between his production and potential. With 1 year remaining on his contract, Austin’s role security is moderate.

No injury entries in 2025. Austin’s Verdict durability grade percentile of 72 and his age suggest a moderate injury risk profile.

His snap share trended up from 2025. With a stable coaching staff and the retention of key personnel, Austin’s opportunity for growth remains.

Sean Payton coordinates a zone-heavy, 3-4 defense with a 31.9% blitz rate. Austin’s Verdict efficiency grade at the 58th percentile and his moderate snap share indicate he fits comfortably within this scheme, but his ceiling may be limited by the defensive coordinator’s emphasis on zone coverage.

Rising. As Austin’s snap share increases and he develops into a more reliable starter, his Verdict production grade improves, and his overall dynasty score follows.

Ceiling: DB3-DB4 with increased snap share and improved efficiency. Floor: DB5 with reduced production and limited opportunities.
