Summary
Maxx Crosby carries a 98.0 dynasty score, ranking 3 at DL. Crosby, at age 28 with 2 years remaining on his contract, is coming off a strong 2025 season with 10 sacks, 28 TFL, and 45 solo tackles.
Projection Rationale
Crosby’s 2025 stat line of 45 solo tackles, 28 TFL, and 10 sacks indicates a strong production trajectory. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 78th percentile suggests room for improvement. Crosby’s $35.5 million APY and 2 years remaining on his contract provide stability and security in his role.
Injury Risk
Crosby was listed as out in Week 17 of the 2025 season due to a non-participation in practice and had a full participation in practice in Week 16. He has a Verdict durability grade at the 86th percentile, and at age 28, Crosby’s injury risk profile is relatively low.
Opportunity Notes
Crosby’s snap share percentage of 97.9% is stable, and his role as a defensive end in the Raiders’ hybrid scheme is secure.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Rob Leonard coordinates a hybrid defense with a 21.7% blitz rate. This scheme helps Crosby’s pass-rushing abilities but may limit his sack potential if blitzed frequently.
Trend Assessment
Declining.
Ceiling / Floor
Crosby’s ceiling is DL1-DL2, and he must continue to dominate with 10+ sacks to reach this level. His floor is DL4-DL5, and if his production drops, he may become a trade candidate with a trade value of 4,116.
