Derion Kendrick

Derion Kendrick is a 25-year-old DB entering Year 5 with the Dallas Cowboys after a 15-game 2025 season. He averaged 15.7% defensive snaps per game, contributing 2 fantasy points on a stable snap trend. Kendrick’s dynasty value is limited by a 26.0 dynasty score and #89 position rank.

Kendrick logged 15.7% of Dallas’ defensive snaps in 2025, a stable trend. His 2025 season stats — 4 solo tkl, 1 TFL, 0 sacks, 2 INT, 5 PD, 0 FF — demonstrate situational usage. Given the stable snap trend and situational profile, Kendrick’s projection floor is set at 2 fantasy points per game.

Kendrick carried full participation in practice across every reported injury check in 2025 — no DNPs, no missed game time, and 15 starts logged at a stable 15.7% snap share. Contact exposure is limited at 15.7% defensive snaps.

Kendrick’s snap share holds at a stable 15.7% with weekly marks at 0.0% to 31.0% across most games and only a few dips to 0.0%. Dallas’ defense employs a zone-heavy 4-3 under Matt Eberflus, which does not prioritize DBs for snap share. No DB2 threat exists on the depth chart. Kendrick’s role remains situational.

Dallas’ zone-heavy 4-3 under Matt Eberflus is not built around DBs for snap share or usage. Kendrick’s situational usage aligns with this scheme, but his 15.7% snap share is limited by the overall defensive philosophy. The Cowboys’ pro-style west coast system under Brian Schottenheimer does not prioritize DBs for snap share or usage.

Stable Kendrick maintained a stable 15.7% defensive snap share across 15 games in 2025, despite varying week-to-week marks.

Ceiling clears 2 fantasy points per game if Kendrick’s snap share expands past 15.7% or his situational usage increases. Floor tracks near 2 fantasy points given the stable 15.7% defensive snap share and situational profile. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
