Summary
Anthony Hines carries a 39.0 dynasty score, ranking 367 at LB.
Projection Rationale
His 50th percentile Verdict efficiency grade and 50th percentile Verdict usage grade suggest that he may not see significant usage in the defense. With 3 years remaining on his contract, his role security is uncertain, and it may be challenging for him to secure a consistent role in the team’s defense.
Injury Risk
Hines has no injury entries in 2025. His Verdict durability grade percentile is 75th, and he is 25 years old, which is considered relatively young for an NFL player.
Opportunity Notes
Hines saw 24 defensive snaps in the 2 games he played in 2024, but his snap share trended down. His role is uncertain, and there may be competition for snaps in the linebacker corps, which could impact his playing time.
Scheme Fit Analysis
The 4-3 scheme may not be ideal for Hines, who struggles in coverage. His skills may be better suited for a different defensive scheme, which could limit his opportunities.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Hines’s production has declined significantly, with a 0th percentile Verdict production grade, and he has struggled to stay on the field with a 75th percentile Verdict durability grade. His performance has been inconsistent over the past few seasons, and it is uncertain if he can regain his previous form.
Ceiling / Floor
Hines’s ceiling is LB4-LB5, and he must stay healthy to reach it. His floor is LB6-LB7, and his trade value of 955 suggests that he may be a mid-round pick in dynasty leagues.
