Summary
Dallin Leavitt carries a 2.0 dynasty score, ranking 1474 at DB. His 29-year-old age and limited 2023 production indicate a pressing need for immediate improvement to justify his current ranking.
Projection Rationale
Leavitt’s limited 2023 production, averaging a defensive snap share that was significantly lower than the previous years, suggests a need for increased usage to justify a DB5 ranking. His Verdict efficiency grade ranks at the 15th percentile, and his usage grade ranks at the 11th percentile. Leavitt’s remaining 2024 contract year with no guarantees suggests a possible role change, which could impact his overall contribution to the team.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2023. At 29 years old, Leavitt’s durability is a concern, given his recent snap share trends and the physical demands of the defensive back position.
Opportunity Notes
Leavitt’s 2023 snap share trended down to a minimal level after Week 2. His defensive role is not secure, and he faces significant competition for playing time from other defensive backs.
Scheme Fit Analysis
The team’s scheme, which focuses on blitzing, could limit Leavitt’s opportunities to contribute on the defensive side of the ball.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Leavitt’s age and reduced 2023 snap share indicate a clear decline from his earlier career trajectory, which has raised concerns about his long-term prospects.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB3-DB4 if Leavitt regains his pre-2023 form and secures a significant role. Floor: DB6-DB8 if his snap share remains low and he loses his job, which is a possibility given the current competition.
