Summary

Austin Booker carries an 81.0 dynasty score, ranking 68 at DL. He led the Bears’ D-line in snaps with 80.9% of total defensive snaps in 2025 and is entering Year 4 of his 4-year contract with a 3-year, $4.36M APY.

Projection Rationale

Austin Booker’s 4.5 sacks and 5 TFL in 17 games indicate a strong pass-rushing presence, but his 5.4% missed tackle rate and 10 hurries suggest room for improvement. He has a 3-year, $4.36M APY contract, which should provide stability and secure his role.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. At 23 years old, Austin Booker’s durability grade is at the 79th percentile, which is above average but not elite.

Opportunity Notes

Austin Booker’s snap share trended up in 2025, from 54.0% to 97.0%. However, his secure role on the Bears’ D-line is due to his 3-year contract.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Ben Johnson coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 28.2% blitz rate, which should help Austin Booker’s sack production. The Bears’ defense features a 46.8% run rate, which may contribute to his workload.

Trend Assessment

Stable. The DL’s snap share remained relatively stable across the season, with a slight uptick in the second half.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: DL2-DL3. For Austin Booker to reach this ceiling, the Bears’ 4-3 defense must continue to blitz effectively, and he must improve his pass-rushing efficiency. Floor: DL5. If Austin Booker loses his starting job or struggles with injuries, his production will decrease, and he may fall to a lower tier.
