Summary
De’Shaan Dixon carries a 39.0 dynasty score, ranking 371 at LB. He is 26 years old with one year remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Dixon’s 2024 17-game season stats indicate a decline in production. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 50th percentile suggests room for improvement, and with only one year remaining on his contract, he has some level of role security, which could help him bounce back. Additionally, his performance in the previous season was a concern, and it will be essential to monitor his progress in the upcoming season.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2024. Dixon’s Verdict durability grade at the 75th percentile suggests above-average durability for his age, which is a positive aspect of his profile.
Opportunity Notes
This percentage trended down from 2023. There is competition for the LB role, which could impact his playing time and overall production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
The 4-3 scheme type and high blitz rate limit Dixon’s ceiling, making it challenging for him to reach his full potential.
