Summary
Nick Jackson carries a 40.0 dynasty score, ranking 348 at LB. Jackson’s 2025 season saw 40 tackles, 1 sack, and 5 pressures, with a stable snap trend. He’s entering year 2 at age 25.
Projection Rationale
Jackson’s 40 tackles and 5 pressures in 2025 indicate a moderate level of production. However, his 0th percentile Verdict production grade suggests a need for improvement. With 1 year remaining on his contract, Jackson’s role security is uncertain. He will need to demonstrate improved efficiency to reach his full potential.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Jackson’s durability is at the 75th percentile, but his age is a concern due to his high Verdict age trajectory grade.
Opportunity Notes
Jackson’s snap share trended stable at 0.0% in weeks 10 and 11. His role is uncertain, with no clear heir apparent to the LB1 position. The team’s defensive scheme and coaching staff will also play a significant role in determining his opportunities.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Sean Duggan coordinates a man-heavy, blitz-heavy multiple scheme with a 30.7% blitz rate, which may help Jackson’s pass-rushing production but limit his overall sack total.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Jackson’s production decreased, with a 0th percentile Verdict production grade, and he has limited role security due to his low Verdict dynasty score. This decline has raised concerns about his long-term prospects.
Ceiling / Floor
Must happen for this outcome: increased role and efficiency. Floor: LB4-LB5 with 30 tackles and 2 sacks. Reference trade value of 1,400.
Comparable Player
Mike Singletary, 1982-1992.
