Summary
Darnell Savage carries a 66.0 dynasty score, ranking 260 at DB. Savage’s 2025 season saw limited production (10 solo tkl, 0 TFL, 0 sacks, 0 INT, 2 PD, 1 FF) and a 26th percentile Verdict efficiency grade.

Projection Rationale
Savage’s 2025 production (10 solo tkl, 0 TFL, 0 sacks, 0 INT, 2 PD, 1 FF) indicates a stable, but limited, role. His 26th percentile Verdict efficiency grade and 69th percentile durability grade suggest he will maintain his current level of production. Savage has 1 year remaining on his contract and a secure role in the Steelers’ secondary.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Savage’s Verdict durability grade percentile (69th) suggests he has a stable risk profile at 28 years old.
Opportunity Notes
Savage’s defensive snap share was stable at 65.8% in shotgun formations. His role is secure in the Steelers’ secondary.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Patrick Graham coordinates a 3-4 defense with a 21.7% blitz rate. This scheme helps Savage’s ceiling as a ball-hawking safety, but his limited production (0 INT, 2 PD) suggests his floor may be lower than expected.
Trend Assessment
Stable. Savage’s Verdict grades have stabilized, with a 26th percentile efficiency grade and a 69th percentile durability grade, indicating consistent performance in both areas.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB2-DB4. For this outcome, Savage must maintain his current level of production and secure a starting safety role.
Floor: DB4-DB6.
