P.J. Locke

P.J. Locke is a 29-year-old Dallas Cowboys defensive back entering Year 8 with a 2.0 dynasty score and a trade value of 35. He has a stable role with a west-coast scheme and a zone-heavy 4-3 defense, but snap count trends are uncertain with a 47.3% average snap percentage in 2025.

Locke’s 47.3% snap percentage in 2025 reflects his role as a reserve defensive back in the Cowboys’ west-coast scheme. Although his 6 solo tackles and 1 TFL demonstrate occasional effectiveness, his overall production is limited by his part-time snap count. The 2025 baseline — 6 solo tackles, 0 sacks, 0 INT, 3 PD, and 0 FF — shows a bottom-tier safety with some occasional IDP upside.

Locke has a clean injury history, with full participation in practice following a Week 10 questionable designation and a Week 9 absence due to a non-injury-related absence.

P.J. Locke’s 47.3% snap percentage in 2025 indicates part-time duty, and his Week 1-13 absence from the field further reduces his opportunity floor. With a stable role but uncertain snap count, Locke is a depth asset rather than a reliable starter.

The Cowboys’ west-coast scheme with a zone-heavy 4-3 defense is not particularly suited to Locke’s skillset, which is more suited to a man-heavy defense. However, his occasional effectiveness in the secondary and on special teams contributes to his bottom-tier IDP value.

Unknown The 2025 season saw P.J. Locke’s snap count fluctuate between 0.0% and 95.0%, with a 47.3% average, preventing a clear assessment of his trend.

Ceiling clears 2025’s 0.0-point finish if snap count increases past 47.3% or Locke develops into a more effective safety. Floor tracks near 0.0 given his part-time role and uncertain snap count. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
