Summary
Patrick Herbert carries a 40.0 dynasty score, ranking 160th among tight ends.
Projection Rationale
He graded at the 50th percentile for efficiency, indicating potential for improvement. With a 1-year contract remaining, Herbert’s role security is uncertain. This uncertainty could be impacted by the team’s decision to sign him, which may affect his opportunities. Furthermore, the team’s recent additions and subtractions may also influence Herbert’s situation. The coaching staff’s approach to the offense and Udinski’s play-calling will also play a significant role in determining Herbert’s role and production.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025 were found. Herbert’s durability graded at the 75th percentile.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Grant Udinski coordinates an offense with a 59.5% shotgun rate and 14.6% play-action rate. The scheme’s emphasis on tight end usage supports Herbert’s role. This approach could lead to increased targets and opportunities for the tight end.
Trend Assessment
Stable. Herbert maintained a consistent snap share and usage, grading at the 50th percentile for efficiency and usage. However, his production declined, resulting in a 0th percentile Verdict grade.
Ceiling / Floor
Herbert’s ceiling is TE2-TE3, requiring consistent target share and improved efficiency to reach 1,000+ receiving yards. His floor is TE5-TE6, with limited opportunities and declining production possible if Udinski’s scheme changes or Herbert faces increased competition.
