Summary
JD Bertrand carries a 73.0 dynasty score, ranking 156 at LB. In his third season at age 26, Bertrand’s 30th percentile production and 28th percentile efficiency grades indicate a need for improvement. With a 50th percentile contract and 100th percentile age trajectory, Bertrand’s trade value is somewhat stable.
Projection Rationale
Bertrand’s 11 solo tackles and 1 TFL in 2025 indicate some potential, but his efficiency grades and lack of pass rush production raise concerns. With a 50th percentile contract and 100th percentile age trajectory, Bertrand’s role and production are somewhat secure. However, his Verdict grades suggest he needs to improve.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. At age 26 with a 100th percentile age trajectory, Bertrand’s durability grade percentile is 79, indicating a moderate level of risk.
Opportunity Notes
Bertrand’s snap share trended down to 0.0% in several weeks, indicating competition for the role. With a 74th percentile usage grade, Bertrand’s role is somewhat secure, but his production needs to improve.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Jeff Ulbrich coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 33.9% blitz rate, which may help or limit Bertrand’s production. Bertrand’s lack of pass rush production in 2025 suggests the scheme may not be well-suited for his skills.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Bertrand’s defensive snap share trended down from 46.6% in 2025. His reduced role and lack of impact on the defensive line (0 sacks, 0 pressures, 0 hurries) in 2025 indicate a decline in production.
Ceiling / Floor
Bertrand’s ceiling is LB2-LB3, which would require significant improvement in his production and efficiency grades. His floor is LB5-LB6, which would be a decline from his current role.
