Summary
Andre Carter carries a 40.0 dynasty score, ranking 346 at LB. Carter had 44 tackles, 3 sacks, and 4 pressures in 12 games in 2025. He is 25 years old with 2 years remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Carter’s 44 tackles and 3 sacks in 12 games indicate his production remains steady. His Verdict efficiency grade is at the 50th percentile, suggesting his efficiency has not declined. However, his contract situation, with 2 years remaining and an APY of $795,000, may lead to a reduced role or a potential trade.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Carter’s Verdict durability grade is at the 44th percentile, suggesting a moderate level of durability risk given his age and injury history.
Opportunity Notes
However, his snap share may decline with the new defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, who prefers a more aggressive 4-3 scheme.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Raheem Morris coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 33.9% blitz rate. This scheme may limit Carter’s ceiling, as he is primarily a pass-rushing linebacker.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Carter’s snap share declined in 2025, and his Verdict production grade is at the 6th percentile.
Ceiling / Floor
Carter’s ceiling is LB2-LB3 if he can maintain his current level of production and secure a starting role. His floor is LB5-LB6 if he loses his starting job or declines in production due to age or injury.
Comparable Player
Tom Jackson, 1981-1991.
