Summary
CJ Nunnally carries a 5.0 dynasty score, ranking 644 at DL. He enters 2026 with one year of experience.
Projection Rationale
Nunnally has one year remaining on his contract with an APY of N/A and a 4-3 defense. His production has been impressive, and he is expected to continue contributing to the team’s pass rush.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Nunnally’s age is not explicitly stated in the source data, but his experience level is evident in his performance.
Opportunity Notes
Nunnally saw 67.2% of snaps in the shotgun formation, indicating a significant opportunity in the Atlanta West Coast offense. However, there is competition for the role, as the team’s pass rush is a team effort: his playing time may vary depending on the game script.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Jeff Ulbrich coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 33.9% blitz rate, which may help Nunnally’s pass-rush productivity. The scheme’s emphasis on zone-heavy coverage could limit Nunnally’s opportunities in a man-coverage scheme. Nevertheless, his skills as a pass rusher should still be effectively harnessed.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL3-DL4; Nunnally’s production needs to remain high for this outcome, which requires continued growth in his efficiency grade. Floor: DL6-DL8; Nunnally’s trade value of 98 indicates a high floor, but a decline in production or snaps could drop him to a lower tier.
