Summary
Reed Blankenship carries a 75.0 dynasty score, ranking 109 at DB. With a 90th percentile durability grade, Blankenship’s production and usage are stable heading into 2026. As a 27-year-old entering his fifth year, he has 2 years remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Blankenship’s 2025 season stats (53 solo tkl, 1 TFL, 0 sacks, 1 INT, 4 PD, 1 FF) indicate steady production from a defensive back. His usage grade at the 87th percentile suggests a consistent role, but his efficiency grade at the 8th percentile implies some regression is possible. With 2 years remaining on his contract, Blankenship’s role is secure for the time being.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. As a 27-year-old with a 90th percentile durability grade, Blankenship’s risk profile is relatively low.
Opportunity Notes
Blankenship’s snap share percentage trended stable in 2025, never dipping below 90% in any week, and his 96.8% average defense snap% suggests a consistent role. The Texans’ defensive coordinator, Matt Burke, employs a 3-4 zone-blitz package, which should suit Blankenship’s skillset.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Matt Burke coordinates a 3-4 defense with a 21.9% blitz rate, which should help Blankenship’s production. The scheme’s zone-heavy coverage also aligns with Blankenship’s skillset.
Trend Assessment
Stable. The snap share percentage trended stable in 2025, never dipping below 90% in any week, and Blankenship’s advanced stats show no significant decline in production or efficiency.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB2-DB3. For Blankenship to reach this level, he must maintain his current usage and efficiency grades, which is possible given his durability and contract situation. Floor: DB5-DB6. If Blankenship experiences significant regression in production or efficiency, he may fall to the lower tier, which is reflected in his trade value (2,925).
