Summary

Jesse Luketa carries a 74.0 dynasty score, ranking 155 at LB. His 2025 season saw a significant decline in snap percentage, from 26.8% in 2024 to 23.0% in Week 8, and further to 6.0% in Week 15, indicating a reduced role. With four years of remaining contract value, his age trajectory is stable.

Projection Rationale

Luketa’s 2025 season stats show a significant decline in defensive snap percentage, from 26.8% in 2024 to 6.0% in Week 15, indicating a reduced role. His Verdict Grades are Production 30th percentile and Efficiency 49th percentile, with a durability grade at the 71st percentile. However, his reduced snap percentage and Verdict grades suggest a lower ceiling.

Opportunity Notes

Luketa’s snap percentage trended down significantly in 2025, from 26.8% in 2024 to 6.0% in Week 15, indicating a reduced role. The role is likely secure for 2026, but the snap percentage decline raises concerns about his long-term prospects.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Zak Kuhr coordinates a 3-4 defense with a 27.2% blitz rate. This scheme may limit Luketa’s ceiling as a linebacker, as he was used in a reduced role in 2025.

Declining. Luketa’s snap percentage trended down significantly in 2025, indicating a reduced role.

Ceiling / Floor
