Kyler Gordon

Kyler Gordon enters Year 5 as a 26-year-old DB in Chicago. He posted 5 solo tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 sack across 13 games in 2025 on a stable 65.3% defensive snap share. Gordon’s stable defensive workload and ascending dynasty score (20.0, rising trend) make him an attractive depth asset.

Gordon logs a stable 65.3% defensive snap share under Ben Johnson’s McVay-tree system, which locks in his volume floor. The 2025 baseline — 5 solo tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 sack across 13 games — shows a stable defensive line item that scales in custom scoring where tackles for loss pay +0.5.

Gordon practiced fully in Week 19 after a questionable listing. He also practiced fully in Week 6 after a 5-week absence due to injury. His moderate rushing exposure is below workhorse thresholds, and his zone-heavy defense favors less contact.

Snap share holds at 65.3% with weekly marks at 67.0% in Week 13 and 62.0% in Week 19. Chicago runs a zone-heavy defense under Dennis Allen, and Gordon’s 65.3% snap share confirms a volume profile few DBs match. No DB2 threat exists on the depth chart.

Ben Johnson’s McVay-tree system with zone-heavy Cover-3 shells is built around Gordon’s defensive skills. Johnson’s system favors pre-snap motion, RPO, and leverage exploitation, which Gordon’s defensive profile matches. Scheme continuity plus a system engineered to his defensive skills drives the DB2 ceiling.

Rising Verdict’s dynasty score model tags Gordon as ascending, reflecting his stable 65.3% defensive snap share across 13 games in 2025 and rising dynasty score (20.0).

Ceiling clears the 2025 baseline if tackles for loss advance past 1 and sacks expand beyond 1 — the combination pays heavily in this custom format with +0.5 TFLs and +1 sacks. Floor tracks near the 2025 baseline given locked 65.3% snap share and an unchanged scheme.
