Summary
Raheem Layne carries a 45.0 dynasty score, ranking 369 at DB.
Layne is a 26-year-old entering his 5th season with 1 year remaining on his contract at an annual salary of $234,000.
Projection Rationale
Layne’s 6 solo tackles and 1 TFL in 17 games indicate his production trajectory, which has been steady, if unspectacular. His 35th percentile Verdict efficiency grade explains the gap between his production and efficiency. This suggests that Layne may struggle to consistently deliver high-level performances. His 1-year contract and $234,000 APY mean his role is somewhat secure, but he may be a cap casualty in the future.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025.
Layne’s 20th percentile Verdict durability grade percentile and 26-year-old age profile indicate some injury risk, which should be closely monitored.
Opportunity Notes
Layne’s snap share percentage is stable at 100.0% in 2025.
There is competition for the DB role, but Layne’s snap share is secure, which is a positive sign for his future prospects.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Dennard Wilson coordinates a 3-4 defense with a 20.8% blitz rate.
The 3-4 scheme limits Layne’s ceiling due to the lack of man coverage opportunities, which could impact his overall performance.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Layne’s production is declining due to his 25th percentile Verdict production grade, which indicates a concerning trend.
Ceiling / Floor
Layne’s ceiling is DB3-DB4, and he must remain healthy to reach it.
Layne’s floor is DB6, and his trade value is 1,350.
