Summary
Michael Dowell carries a 37.0 dynasty score, ranking 553 at DB. Dowell had a limited 2024 season but has a 100th percentile age trajectory and 68th percentile contract grade heading into 2026.
Projection Rationale
Dowell’s 0 receptions in 2024 indicate his struggles in production. His 50th percentile efficiency grade suggests some underlying skills. Dowell’s $840,000 APY and 1 year remaining on his contract provide some role security.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Dowell’s 75th percentile durability grade and age of 25 mitigate some injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Dowell’s snap share percentage decreased to 0% in 2024. There is competition for the DB role.
Scheme Fit Analysis
The Seahawks’ defensive coordinator is Teryl Austin, who coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 25.0% blitz rate. This scheme limits Dowell’s ceiling.
