The read

Dalvin has played 3 games for 8 tackles, 8 assisted tackles and 0.5 sacks, but every advanced number is still mostly luck at this point, so his grade of 50 is a placeholder rather than a verdict.

  • Game to game on pressures per 100 snaps: best 4.0 in Week 2 against LV, worst 0.0 in Week 5. He beat the typical interior lineman's pressures per 100 snaps in 1 of 3 games.
  • Season rank climbed: 38th to 46th percentile since Wk 2.
  • Not playing lately: He played in 2 of his team's first 2 games, then did not play in the last 2 games.
  • Too early to call: pressures per 100 snaps and tackles for loss per 100 snaps. After 5 games the gaps between interior linemen on those stats are still mostly chance, so we show them without ranking.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 3 games are behind the season figures.

His team

A player is part of a unit. Here is how the Los Angeles Chargers do at his job, and who he shares the room with.

Dalvin grades as the Chargers' best interior lineman, and the Chargers' pass rush ranks 7th of 32.

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying interior linemen. Faded bars are still small samples. Outlined bars are stats where, this early, the gaps between players are mostly luck, so they are not ranked yet.

How he has progressed

Where he has ranked among interior linemen after each week, and every game behind it.
WorstMiddleBestrecent12345Week 2: 41st percentileWeek 5: 49th percentile49th

Season rank climbed: 41st to 49th percentile since Wk 2.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 99 (the best in the league) down to 1 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

Pressures per 100 snaps game by game
WeekOpponentThat gamesnapsSeason rank after
1vs ARI0.040Not yet
2vs LV4.02541st pct
5vs DEN0.01749th pct

“Not yet” means too little of the season was behind him to rank him fairly against interior linemen. A week-by-week rank needs most of the 80 snaps that grade a full season, so early weeks stay blank for players who see few plays, like kickers. It says nothing about how he played.

One game is a small sample: a single stat over 27 snaps can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.

The numbers, in context

Each one against every interior lineman with at least 80 snaps. Right on the strip is better.

Pressures per 100 snaps

Mostly luck so far

1.2

Too early to rank. On 82 snaps, luck still decides who is on top of interior linemen.

Sacks, hits and hurries as Pro Football Reference charts them, for every 100 snaps he plays. A pass rusher is doing his job on plays that never become a sack.

The box score: A sack total misses most of what a rusher does and depends on how many snaps he plays.

Does it show up in winning? Across 158 games league-wide, a good or bad game on pressures per 100 snaps from a interior lineman has not lined up much with his team winning (48% wins in the best third, 37% in the worst).

Sacks per 100 snaps

0.6

Too early to rank. On 82 snaps, luck still decides who is on top of interior linemen.

Sacks for every 100 snaps he plays. Rare, so it swings fast; pressures are the steadier read.

The box score: A sack total ignores how many snaps he played.

Does it show up in winning? Across 158 games league-wide, a good or bad game on sacks per 100 snaps from a interior lineman has not lined up much with his team winning (39% wins in the best third, 36% in the worst).

Tackles for loss per 100 snaps

Mostly luck so far

0.0

Too early to rank. On 82 snaps, luck still decides who is on top of interior linemen.

Plays he ends behind the line of scrimmage, for every 100 snaps.

The box score: Tackles for loss are counted, but never against the snaps he played.

Does it show up in winning? Across 158 games league-wide, teams won 47% of the time when their interior lineman was in the best third on tackles for loss per 100 snaps, and 34% when he was in the worst third.

Pay against play

Early read

Among the 107 interior linemen we have a grade and a contract for, Dalvin Tomlinson is 55th on the field and 42nd in pay. His grade is still an early read, so this says nothing yet about whether his pay is fair.

On the field (overall grade)55 of 107
In pay42 of 107

Ranks are among the 107 interior linemen on the teams we track who have both a grade and a contract. A rank near the right of a bar is better play or higher pay.

Contract figures as of 2026-10-12, read from public cap sites (StickToTheModel team cap pages and OverTheCap contracts list and player pages) into a file we keep by hand, for all 32 teams. A deal signed, cut or reworked since may differ, and cap hits are rounded to $0.1M.

08 / 11

Playing time

He has played in 2 of his team's 4 games with snap counts, on the field for about 47% of the team's defensive plays when he plays.

Not playing lately. He played in 2 of his team's first 2 games, then did not play in the last 2 games.

Each column is a game: the share of his team's defensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.

Game by game

Every game this season: how it ended for his team, how much he played, his box score, and the advanced numbers from that one game. One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level. A dash means that number is not in yet (charting posts a day or two after a game), not a zero.

The interior linemen whose grades are closest to his across the same stats. Similar means similar numbers, not the same style of play.

Ranks are among players at the same job who have enough plays to be graded. Grades and rankings come from play-by-play, charting and snap-count data, so they cannot see blocking, route running or assignments. See how the grades work.
