Alex Huntley

Alex Huntley enters Year 2 as a developmental defensive end for the Dolphins at age 24, ranked #427 at the position in Verdict’s dynasty score (5.0, stable trend). He logged 76% of Miami’s defensive snaps in 2025, a respectable figure for a young player in a crowded rotation. Huntley’s 298-pound frame and South Carolina production hint at potential in a scheme that values his physicality.

Huntley’s 76% defensive snap share under Anthony Weaver’s 4-3 scheme, which prioritizes zone coverage and run stopping, sets a respectable floor. The 2025 baseline — 3 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, and 1 forced fumble across 17 games — shows a player with modest production but room for growth in a system that values his physicality. A moderate increase in tackles for loss and sacks could push Huntley into the DL1 tier, while continued growth in his snap share could also boost his dynasty value.

Huntley carried full participation in practice across every reported injury check in 2025 — no DNPs, no missed game time, and 17 starts logged at 76% of defensive snaps. His 298-pound frame and South Carolina production hint at durability, but the 4-3 scheme’s emphasis on zone coverage may limit his contact exposure compared to other defensive ends.

Snap share holds at 76% with weekly marks at 75% across most games and only one dip to 70% on the late-season log. Miami’s 4-3 scheme, which prioritizes zone coverage and run stopping, provides Huntley with a stable role in the rotation. No DL1 threat exists on the depth chart, but the presence of a veteran like Christian Wilkins could limit Huntley’s upside in the short term.

Anthony Weaver’s 4-3 scheme, which emphasizes zone coverage and run stopping, is a good fit for Huntley’s physical playing style. The system’s emphasis on containment and tackling could help Huntley build on his 3 tackles for loss and 2 sacks from 2025, while also limiting his contact exposure compared to other defensive ends.

Stable Verdict’s trade-value model tags Huntley as stable, reflecting his 76% defensive snap share across 17 games in 2025 and moderate dynasty score (5.0).

Ceiling clears 2025’s modest production if tackles for loss and sacks advance past 3 and 2, respectively. Floor tracks near 2025’s baseline given locked 76% defensive snap share and an unchanged scheme. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
