Summary
Layne Pryor carries a 38.0 dynasty score, ranking 211 at TE. Pryor’s efficiency improved in 2025, but his production remains below expectations for a 23-year-old tight end in year two.
Projection Rationale
His Verdict production grade is at the 0th percentile, and his efficiency grade is at the 50th percentile. Pryor’s contract situation, with two years remaining and an APY of $1,033,333, should provide role security.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Pryor’s durability grade is at the 75th percentile, but his age and role uncertainty increase his injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Pryor’s snap share trended down from 2024. His role is uncertain, and he faces competition from other tight ends on the Texans.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Nick Caley coordinates a Shanahan-tree system with a 61.1% shotgun rate. The system should help Pryor’s efficiency but may limit his production.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Pryor’s production grade remains at the 0th percentile, and his overall dynasty score is stagnant.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: TE3-TE4, with increased production and efficiency. Floor: TE7-TE9, with reduced volume and role uncertainty.
