Summary
Anthony Barr carries a 2.0 dynasty score, ranking 757 at linebacker.
Barr’s 2023 season stats show a stable defensive snap trend, but he’s 32 years old and in the final year of his contract. Additionally, his age and contract situation raise concerns about his role security and long-term prospects.
Projection Rationale
His contract situation (APY: $370,800, Years Remaining: 0) and age (32) raise concerns about his role security and long-term prospects. Furthermore, his contract expiration may lead to a potential decrease in his defensive snap count.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2023. Barr’s 32-year-old age and final contract year increase his risk profile, making him a more fragile asset for fantasy owners.
Opportunity Notes
Barr’s defensive snap percentage trended stable in 2023, averaging 19.8%. However, his contract situation and age may limit his opportunities for growth and increased defensive snaps.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Sean Duggan coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 21.0% blitz rate. This scheme may limit Barr’s ceiling, as he’s not a pass-rushing specialist, and his primary role is as a tackling machine.
Trend Assessment
Stable. Barr’s defensive snap percentage remained steady throughout the 2023 season, with a slight dip in Week 17. This trend indicates his ability to maintain a consistent workload, but it’s unclear how his performance will hold up in the future.
Ceiling / Floor
Barr’s ceiling is LB3-LB5, requiring significant defensive improvement to reach this range.
