Summary

Myles Cole carries a 46.0 dynasty score, ranking 245 at LB. His 17th percentile production grade from Verdict Scores suggests rising production, but at 26, Cole’s age trajectory remains 100th percentile, indicating a long-term outlook.

Projection Rationale

Cole’s 22.8% snap share trended up in 2024, indicating increasing role security, and his 27.3% missed tackle rate suggests a high ceiling for tackles. Verdict grades show him at the 35th percentile for efficiency and 43rd percentile for usage, indicating potential for growth. Cole is in the final year of his contract, with an APY of $1,005,000, providing a secure role for the upcoming season.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Cole’s durability grade is at the 75th percentile, indicating above-average durability for his age.

Opportunity Notes

Cole’s snap share trended up in 2024, from 18.0% in Week 2 to 32.0% in Week 16, indicating a growing role. With the coaching staff and defensive scheme remaining unchanged, Cole’s opportunity appears secure, but he will face competition for snaps in the Saints’ linebacking corps.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Brandon Staley coordinates a multiple zone defense with a 24.9% blitz rate. The Saints’ defense features a 78.0% base defense rate, suggesting a favorable environment for Cole’s production.

Trend Assessment

Rising. Cole’s production grade is improving, as seen in his 17th percentile mark, while his age trajectory remains stable, providing a long-term foundation for growth.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: LB2-LB3. For Cole to reach this ceiling, he must maintain his rising production trend, continue to secure a growing role, and improve his efficiency grade. Floor: LB6-LB7. If Cole’s snap share decreases or he struggles with efficiency, he may fall to this floor, where his trade value would decrease.
