Summary
Kendal Vickers carries a 42.0 dynasty score, ranking 440 at DL. Vickers is 29 years old with 7 years of experience and will be a free agent in 2025.
Projection Rationale
Vickers’ 36.0% average defense snap share in 2024 indicates a stable role, but his production has declined in recent seasons. The Verdict grades indicate a 21st percentile production grade and a 50th percentile efficiency grade, highlighting a significant gap between his production and efficiency. Vickers will be a free agent in 2025, which may impact his role security.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2024. Vickers’ 9th percentile durability grade and 29-year-old age profile indicate a moderate injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Vickers’ 36.0% average defense snap share in 2024 trended stable. However, the defensive coordinator in 2024, Pete Carmichael, coordinated a 3-4 scheme, which may not be ideal for Vickers’ skill set.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Pete Carmichael coordinates a 3-4 defense with a 13.0% blitz rate. This scheme may not be ideal for Vickers, who excels in a 4-3 scheme.
Trend Assessment
Declining. The 9th percentile durability grade indicates a significant decline in recent seasons, which has impacted Vickers’ overall production.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL2-DL3, if Vickers can recover his production and secure a starting role in a 4-3 scheme. Floor: DL5-DL6, if Vickers’ role is reduced or he becomes a situational player.
