Summary
Josiah Scott has a 2.0 dynasty score, ranking 1448 at DB. At 25 years old and heading into free agency in 2025, Scott’s situation is one to closely monitor in the offseason.
Projection Rationale
Scott’s 1 solo tackle in 15 games is a significant drop from his previous defensive production. His Verdict production grade at the 21st percentile indicates that he needs to improve his performance. Scott’s contract situation, entering free agency in 2025, adds uncertainty to his role security and makes his dynasty ranking more unpredictable. Specifically, Scott’s defensive production has not met expectations, which is a concern for his future performance.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2023 suggest that Scott has been relatively healthy throughout the season.
Opportunity Notes
Scott’s 0.5% defensive snap share trended down from 2022. The Steelers’ secondary is in transition, and Scott’s role is uncertain, which makes it difficult to project his future performance. This uncertainty surrounding Scott’s role and the Steelers’ secondary makes it challenging to accurately assess his future fantasy value.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Scott’s declining dynasty score and position rank reflect his decreased production and role in the Steelers’ secondary, a trend that is concerning for his fantasy value. The Steelers’ secondary is experiencing a significant transition, which has negatively impacted Scott’s performance.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB3-DB4; must improve defensive production and secure a starting role. Floor: DB5-DB6; reference trade value of 42, which is a reasonable expectation for his current dynasty ranking.
Comparable Player
Charles Woodson’s performance between 1998 and 2002 is a comparable player to Josiah Scott’s dynasty ranking.
