Summary

Trace Ford carries a 39.0 dynasty score, ranking 484 at DL. Ford’s age and contract situation indicate a stable trajectory with one year remaining on his deal.

Projection Rationale

Ford’s 1.5 sacks per game in 2025 indicate a moderate level of pass rush production. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 50th percentile suggests a baseline level of efficiency. Ford has one year remaining on his deal with an APY of $885,000, providing role security.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Ford’s age and durability grade at the 75th percentile indicate a moderate injury risk profile.

Opportunity Notes

Ford’s snap share percentage trended up in 2025, and he is expected to continue playing a significant role. However, there is competition for the defensive line job, and Ford’s role is not entirely secure.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Dennard Wilson coordinates a zone-heavy 3-4 defense with a 20.8% blitz rate. This scheme allows Ford to be a key contributor as a pass rusher. However, the blitz rate may limit his ceiling.

Trend Assessment

Stable. Ford’s durability grade at the 75th percentile suggests he can maintain a high level of playing time.

Ceiling / Floor

Ford’s ceiling is DL1-DL3, with a high level of pass rush production and efficiency. For this outcome, he needs to maintain his current level of production and stay healthy. Ford’s floor is DL4-DL5, with a trade value of 764 and a moderate level of production. His trade value suggests he has some value as a depth piece.
