Summary
Derrick Moore carries a 62.0 dynasty score, ranking 259 at defensive lineman.
At 23 years old and entering Year 1 of his 3-year contract, he has room for growth and development.
Projection Rationale
Moore’s 23.0 sacks in 2025 indicate a strong pass-rushing ability, but his Verdict Efficiency grade at the 38th percentile suggests room for improvement in efficiency. His contract situation, with 3 years remaining at a salary of $2,856,737 per year, provides role security and stability. Furthermore, his Verdict Durability grade at the 38th percentile indicates a moderate level of resilience to injuries.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Moore’s Verdict durability grade percentile is 38th percentile, and he is 23 years old.
Opportunity Notes
Moore saw a 70.0% defensive snap share in 2025, trending stable. There is competition for the role, with a strong defensive line rotation, which may impact his playing time and production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Kelvin Sheppard coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 23.7% blitz rate. The scheme’s run defense emphasis and defensive line rotation should help Moore’s pass-rushing production.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Moore’s production has decreased, with a 2025 Verdict Production grade at the 41st percentile.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL2-DL3. Moore must maintain his 2025 sack total and improve his efficiency to reach this ceiling. Floor: DL5-DL6. If Moore’s snap share decreases or he loses the job, his production will drop to this floor.
Comparable Player
Charles Haley, 1991-1998.
