Summary

Zelmar Vedder carries a 5.0 dynasty score, ranking 1070 at DB. Vedder’s 2025 season saw 1 interception, 0 passes defended, and 15 solo tackles, indicating a stable defensive role with some pass coverage responsibilities. His relatively low interception total, however, is a notable aspect of his performance, as he has shown the ability to remain focused on his tackling duties.

Projection Rationale

Vedder’s 2025 stat line of 1 interception, 0 passes defended, and 15 solo tackles suggests a stable role in the KC defense. Vedder has 1 year remaining on his contract with a $1.5M APY, which should provide some stability for the team’s salary cap. His overall performance and contract situation make him a reliable option for dynasty leagues.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025.

Opportunity Notes

Vedder’s defensive snap share trended stable at 56.2% in 11 personnel groupings. The DB role in the KC defense appears secure, and Vedder’s playing time should remain consistent in the coming seasons.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Steve Spagnuolo coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 31.4% blitz rate and a zone-heavy coverage scheme. This scheme requires defensive backs to be agile and able to cover deep zones, which Vedder has shown he can do.

Trend Assessment

Stable. Vedder’s defensive snap share held steady at 56.2% in 11 personnel groupings. The consistency in his playing time is a reassuring sign for his fantasy value, as it suggests that the coaching staff values his contributions to the defense.

Ceiling / Floor

Vedder’s ceiling is DB2-DB3 if he significantly improves in pass coverage. His floor is DB5-DB6 if his snap share decreases or he loses the DB role. Vedder’s trade value is 105, indicating a moderate market value.
