Summary
Avonte Maddox carries a 64.0 dynasty score, ranking 275 at DB. At age 30 with no guaranteed years remaining, Maddox’s outlook is uncertain.
Projection Rationale
Maddox’s 22 solo tackles in 2025 indicate a stable floor, but his 0 sacks and 1 INT on 14 games suggest a decline in production. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 21st percentile and usage grade at the 71st percentile indicate room for improvement. Additionally, Maddox has no guaranteed years remaining, making his role uncertain and potentially subject to change.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Maddox’s Verdict durability grade at the 69th percentile indicates some risk, given his age and lack of guaranteed years remaining.
Opportunity Notes
Maddox’s snap share trended up in 2025, averaging 47.3%. With a 71.6% shotgun rate and a 4-3 defense, Maddox’s role appears secure, but his lack of guaranteed years remaining creates uncertainty.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Kelvin Sheppard coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 23.7% blitz rate, which may help Maddox’s sack total. This scheme could potentially benefit Maddox’s overall performance.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Maddox’s Verdict production grade is at the 30th percentile, and his efficiency grade at the 21st percentile, indicating a decline in performance. Furthermore, his Verdict durability grade at the 69th percentile suggests some risk due to his age and lack of guaranteed years remaining.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB2-DB3. Maddox must improve his efficiency to reach this ceiling. Floor: DB5-DB6. Maddox’s trade value of 2,112 suggests a lower tier finish range if his role decreases.
Comparable Player
Mel Blount, 1974-85.
