Summary
Christian Elliss carries a 85.0 dynasty score, ranking 85 at LB.
At age 27 with 1 year remaining on his contract, Elliss’s production is consistent with a 49th percentile Verdict production grade.
Projection Rationale
Elliss’s 32 solo tackles in 15 games indicate consistent production. His 7.8% missed tackle rate is a 60th percentile Verdict efficiency grade. With 1 year remaining on his contract, Elliss’s role security is somewhat limited by his contract situation.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. With a 92nd percentile Verdict durability grade, Elliss’s injury risk profile is relatively low considering his age.
Opportunity Notes
Elliss’s snap share trended stable at 54.1% in 2025. His role is somewhat secure, but with one year remaining on his contract, there is some uncertainty about his future in the Patriots’ lineup.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Sean Duggan coordinates a 3-4 defense with a 27.2% blitz rate. This scheme helps Elliss’s production, as he is well-suited to the LB role in this defensive setup.
Trend Assessment
Stable
Elliss’s snap share trended stable in 2025, averaging 54.1% and fluctuating between 30.0% and 72.0% throughout the season.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: LB2-LB4; if Elliss can maintain his current level of production and stay healthy, he has a chance to finish as a top-4 linebacker.
Floor: LB5-LB6; if Elliss’s production declines due to injury or decreased usage, he may finish as a mid-tier linebacker.
