Summary
Sam Hubbard carries a 79.0 dynasty score, ranking 103 at DL. His 63rd percentile production grade and consistent durability grade at the 85th percentile indicate a strong foundation for the 29-year-old defensive lineman.
Projection Rationale
In 2024, Hubbard recorded 25 solo tackles and 2 sacks, showcasing his ability to contribute in both categories. His 63rd percentile production grade and 85th percentile durability grade suggest a high floor for the upcoming season. Hubbard’s contract situation remains secure with 3 years remaining and a $10,000,000 APY.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2024. Hubbard’s age and durability grade at the 85th percentile mitigate injury concerns.
Opportunity Notes
Hubbard’s snap share trended down from 74.0% to 35.0% over the season. His role is not secure, and there may be competition for snaps in 2025.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Brian Callahan coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 21.0% blitz rate. The scheme’s blitz rate may limit Hubbard’s opportunities for sacks.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Hubbard’s snap share has trended down from 74.0% to 35.0% over the season, indicating a possible role reduction.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL3-DL5, with 10+ sacks and 50+ tackles. This would require Hubbard to regain his pre-2024 snap share and contribute significantly in both categories. Floor: DL6-DL7, with 5+ sacks and 20+ tackles.
