Summary

Ashton Gillotte carries a 77.0 dynasty score, ranking 127 at DL. Gillotte’s 2025 season stats indicate a promising trend of increasing defensive snap percentage.

Projection Rationale

Gillotte’s 1.5 sacks and 14 solo tackles per game in 2025 indicate a high ceiling, but his Verdict production grade at the 36th percentile and Verdict efficiency grade at the 73rd percentile suggest there is room for improvement. Gillotte’s contract situation, with three years remaining and a $1,686,156 APY, provides stability and a secure role.

Injury Risk

Gillotte had a questionable status in Week 4 and missed practice in Week 3, but was fully participating in practice by Week 5. His Verdict durability grade at the 75th percentile indicates above-average durability.

Opportunity Notes

Gillotte’s defensive snap percentage trended up throughout the 2025 season, from 43.0% in Week 5 to 62.0% in Week 17, and his usage rate is above average. However, there is competition for snaps in the Chiefs’ front seven.

Scheme Fit Analysis

The Chiefs’ defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, employs a 4-3 defense with a 31.4% blitz rate, which could help Gillotte’s pressure and sack numbers. The scheme’s base defense rate and blitz rate contribute to Gillotte’s opportunities.

Trend Assessment

Rising Gillotte’s defensive snap percentage trended up from 43.0% in Week 5 to 62.0% in Week 17, and his advanced stats show promising pressure and hurry numbers.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: DL1-DL3 Gillotte must maintain his sack average and increase his tackles per game to reach his ceiling. Floor: DL5-DL6 If Gillotte’s snap share and usage rate decrease, he may drop to the lower end of the DL tier.
