Summary
Shemar Bartholomew carries a 40.0 dynasty score, ranking 456 at DB.
At age 25, with only one year remaining on his contract, Bartholomew is still developing and has limited role security.
Projection Rationale
Bartholomew’s 7-game 2025 stat line (2 solo tackles, 1 TFL, 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 PD, 0 FF) indicates his production trajectory is uncertain.
His Verdict efficiency grade at the 14th percentile and usage grade at the 11th percentile suggest he has room for improvement.
With one year remaining on his contract, Bartholomew’s role security is limited, and he will need to prove himself in the upcoming season.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025.
At age 25, Bartholomew’s durability grade at the 18th percentile indicates some risk, but it is not extreme.
Opportunity Notes
Bartholomew’s snap share percentage averaged 51.0% in 2025, trending stable.
However, there is competition for the DB role, and Bartholomew’s snap share may decrease as a result.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Jonathan Gannon coordinates a 4-3 zone-heavy defense with a 23.9% blitz rate.
This scheme type and blitz rate may limit Bartholomew’s ceiling, as he is primarily a coverage specialist.
Trend Assessment
Stable.
Bartholomew’s snap share remained stable in 2025, averaging 51.0% per game.
