Summary
Boy Mafe carries an 84.0 dynasty score, ranking 42 at DL. Mafe’s 2 sacks and 4 TFLs in 2025 indicate a strong pass-rushing trajectory, but his decreased snap share must be addressed in the next 2 seasons.
Projection Rationale
Mafe’s 2 sacks and 4 TFLs in 2025 demonstrate his pass-rushing ability, but his Efficiency grade at the 81st percentile suggests room for improvement. Mafe’s contract situation, with 2 years remaining at $20,000,000 APY, provides role security.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Mafe’s Durability grade at the 94th percentile suggests he is less injury-prone at 27 years old.
Opportunity Notes
Mafe’s snap share trended down in 2025, from 74% in Week 1 to 33% in Week 22. His role is secure, but his decreased snap share may impact his production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Sean Duggan coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 17.1% blitz rate. Mafe’s scheme fits well, but the Bengals’ low blitz rate may limit his pass-rushing opportunities.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Mafe’s snap share decreased from 74% in Week 1 to 33% in Week 22.
Ceiling / Floor
Mafe’s ceiling is DL1-DL2, requiring consistent pass-rushing production and a higher snap share. His floor is DL5, referencing his trade value and Verdict Grades, if he loses the starting job or experiences a significant injury.
