Summary

David Long carries an 82.0 dynasty score, ranking 105 at LB. Long’s 57th percentile production grade indicates consistent output, but his 35th percentile efficiency grade suggests room for improvement. With two years remaining on his contract, Long’s role security is somewhat uncertain.

Projection Rationale

Long’s 71st percentile usage grade and 88th percentile durability grade indicate he will continue to see consistent playing time. However, his 35th percentile efficiency grade suggests he may not reach his full potential. With two years remaining on his contract, Long’s role security is somewhat uncertain.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2024. Long’s 88th percentile durability grade suggests he is relatively healthy, but his age and declining efficiency grade may pose concerns about his long-term durability.

Opportunity Notes

Long’s snap share has been inconsistent, and he may face competition for playing time in 2025. With two years remaining on his contract, his role security is somewhat uncertain.

Scheme Fit Analysis

However, his 71st percentile usage grade suggests he will continue to see consistent playing time.

Trend Assessment

Declining Long’s efficiency grade has declined from 35th percentile to 30.0% missed tackles in 2024, indicating a slight decline in performance. His snap share has also been inconsistent, further contributing to this trend.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: LB2-LB3; Long must improve his efficiency grade and secure a starting role to reach this ceiling. Floor: LB5-LB6; if Long’s snap share decreases or he loses his starting job, his production will likely decline.
