Summary

Alex Austin carries a 42.0 dynasty score, ranking 405 at DB. Austin’s 2025 season saw a stable snap share percentage at 0.0%, which is expected to trend upward with his growing experience. At age 24, Austin has four years of NFL experience remaining.

Projection Rationale

Austin’s 2025 season stats, including 7 solo tackles and 0 sacks, indicate a steady but unspectacular defensive performance. His 22nd percentile Verdict production grade suggests room for improvement. Austin’s contract situation, with zero guaranteed remaining, may impact his role security. With no years remaining on his deal, Austin’s trade value of 1,260 may be underpriced.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. At age 24, Austin’s durability is graded at the 57th percentile, indicating some risk of injury in the future.

Opportunity Notes

Austin’s snap share percentage was stable at 0.0% throughout the 2025 season. The Dolphins’ defensive coordinator, Sean Duggan, does not appear to be a significant threat to Austin’s role.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Trend Assessment

Stable. Austin’s snap share percentage remained stable at 0.0% throughout the 2025 season, indicating that his role within the Dolphins’ defense is secure.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: Austin could potentially reach DB2 if he improves his efficiency, which is currently at the 3rd percentile. Floor: Austin may drop to DB6 if his snap share decreases or he loses his role.
