DJ Ivey carries a 39.0 dynasty score, ranking 470 at DB. Ivey’s 2025 season was marked by a 47.0% snap share in Week 17, indicating a potential increase in role. As he enters Year 4 at age 26, Ivey’s dynasty score suggests a moderate upside.

Projection Rationale

DJ Ivey’s 2025 season stats indicate a moderate upside, with a 20.0% average defense snap share and 3 PD. His Verdict Efficiency grade at the 25th percentile suggests room for improvement. Ivey’s contract situation, with an APY and 2 years remaining, provides role security.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. DJ Ivey’s Verdict Durability grade at the 71st percentile and age of 26 suggest a moderate risk profile.

Opportunity Notes

DJ Ivey’s 2025 snap share trended up, particularly in Week 17 with a 47.0% snap share. His role appears secure, with no clear competition.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Al Golden coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 17.1% blitz rate and zone-heavy coverage. This scheme type may limit Ivey’s ceiling due to the high blitz rate.

Trend Assessment

Stable. DJ Ivey’s snap share trended up in the second half of the season, but his overall stability is tempered by his Verdict Production grade at the 14th percentile.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: DB2-DB3. For DJ Ivey to reach DB2-DB3, he must maintain a high snap share and improve his Verdict Efficiency grade. Floor: DB5. If Ivey’s snap share decreases or he loses the job, his trade value will decline.
