Summary
A.J. Bouye carries a 2.0 dynasty score, ranking 1395 at DB. Bouye’s production has seen a decline with a notable decrease in targets in 2025. His overall performance has been impacted by the Panthers’ secondary’s increased competition, which may affect his playing time. However, he has one year remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
Bouye has one year remaining on his contract with a $3,500,000 APY. His current contract status suggests he will continue to be a part of the Panthers’ secondary in 2026. The Panthers’ secondary has undergone significant changes, and it is unclear how Bouye will fit into the new scheme.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Bouye is 30 years old.
Opportunity Notes
Bouye’s snap share decreased to 65.4% in 2025. The Panthers’ secondary has competition for the role, which might impact Bouye’s playing time. Additionally, the team’s defensive coordinator, Ejiro Evero, has implemented a zone-heavy 3-4 defense.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Ejiro Evero coordinates a zone-heavy 3-4 defense with a 26.6% blitz rate. The scheme may limit Bouye’s ceiling as a ball-hawking cornerback, which could be a concern for fantasy owners. Furthermore, the Panthers’ secondary has been plagued by inconsistency, which may affect Bouye’s overall performance.
Trend Assessment
Declining.
Ceiling / Floor
Bouye’s ceiling is DB4-DB5. His floor is DB6-DB7. Bouye’s trade value is 42, which is below average for a corner in the league. His limited role and declining production make him a less desirable asset. As a result, his dynasty ranking has dropped.
