Summary
Nick Herbig carries a 89.0 dynasty score, ranking 59 at LB.
Herbig’s efficiency improved in 2025, but his production and usage declined slightly due to reduced snap share. He will be 24 in 2026 and has 3 years remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Herbig’s 2025 stat line of 21 solo tackles, 13 TFL, 7.5 sacks, 1 INT, 3 PD, and 3 FF indicates a high-level defensive performance. However, his Verdict efficiency grade at the 75th percentile suggests he may not be as effective in 2026. Herbig has 3 years remaining on his contract with an APY of $1,128,231, providing stability in his role.
Injury Risk
Nick Herbig had no injury entries in 2025. His Verdict durability grade at the 88th percentile indicates a strong physical profile for his age.
Opportunity Notes
Herbig’s snap share decreased from 2024, and he may face competition for playing time in 2026. His role is not secure due to reduced snap share.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Patrick Graham coordinates a 3-4 defense with a 21.7% blitz rate. Herbig’s production is directly affected by the 3-4 scheme, which may help him achieve 10-12 sacks in 2026.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Herbig’s snap share decreased from 2024, and his production and usage grades declined as a result.
Ceiling / Floor
Herbig’s ceiling is LB1-LB2, and he must maintain his high-level production and efficiency to reach this level. His floor is LB5-LB6, and he may fall out of favor if his snap share decreases further or if he struggles to adapt to the 3-4 scheme.
