Summary
Bryson Nesbit carries a 38.0 dynasty score, ranking 196th at tight end.
Projection Rationale
His contract situation, with one year remaining and an annual salary of $885,000, provides job security for the tight end. This stability will allow Nesbit to focus on improving his game.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Nesbit’s durability grade is at the 75th percentile, but he’s only 23 years old, which is relatively young for a professional football player. At this age, players often enter a period of rapid development and improvement.
Opportunity Notes
Nesbit’s snap share trended down to 37.1% in 2025, and his role is secure with one year remaining on his contract; however, his production has been inconsistent. Additionally, the Vikings’ balanced offense might limit Nesbit’s ceiling and overall scoring potential.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Wes Phillips coordinates a McVay-inspired offense with a 16.4% play-action rate, which helps Nesbit’s production. However, the Vikings’ balanced offense might limit Nesbit’s ceiling and overall scoring potential.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Nesbit’s production grade is at the 0th percentile, and his snap share trended down to 37.1% in 2025, which is a significant decrease from previous years. Furthermore, his snap share has consistently decreased over the past few seasons.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: TE3-TE4. For Nesbit to reach this ceiling, he needs to increase his production and efficiency grades, and become more efficient in his route-running and receiving. This will require significant improvement in his overall game.
Floor: TE5-TE6.
