Summary
Elijah Roberts carries a 78.0 dynasty score, ranking 109 at DL. His 32nd percentile production grade suggests room for growth, given his age and contract situation.
Projection Rationale
Roberts’ 2 sacks and 10 pressures in 17 games indicate a moderate pass-rushing presence. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 76th percentile suggests room for improvement, but his contract situation and age trajectory are favorable. With 3 years remaining on his contract, his role security is stable.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. At 24 years old, Roberts has a Verdict durability grade at the 75th percentile.
Opportunity Notes
Roberts’ snap share trended up from 12.0% in Week 1 to 68.0% in Week 7, but decreased to 29.0% in Week 18. The defensive coordinator’s blitz-heavy scheme helps his pass-rushing production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Todd Bowles coordinates a man-heavy, blitz-heavy multiple scheme. This scheme helps Roberts’ pass-rushing production, but may limit his ability to generate sacks.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Roberts’ production grade has declined from last season, and his snap share trended down from 51.0% in Week 6 to 29.0% in Week 18.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL2-DL3; must become a primary sack source. Floor: DL4; if his snap share decreases or the Buccaneers change defensive schemes.
