Summary

Cameron Sample carries a 74.0 dynasty score, ranking 168 at DL. 26-year-old Sample enters 2026 with 2 sacks and a 10.5% missed tackle rate, with a contract situation that grants him 0 years remaining.

Projection Rationale

Sample’s 2 sacks and 10.5% missed tackle rate in 2025 indicate a stable production trajectory, with the Verdict efficiency grade at the 59th percentile suggesting room for improvement. Sample’s contract situation grants him 0 years remaining, securing his role on the 49ers.

Injury Risk

No injury entries in 2025. Sample’s 91st percentile durability grade percentile and 26 years of age create a low injury risk profile.

Opportunity Notes

Sample’s 53.0% shotgun rate and 27.2% blitz rate create a moderate opportunity for pass rush production. However, the presence of other pass rushers on the 49ers roster may limit Sample’s ceiling.

Scheme Fit Analysis

Sean Duggan coordinates a 4-3 zone-heavy defense with a 27.2% blitz rate, which could help Sample’s production. The team’s defensive scheme may limit Sample’s pass rush opportunities.

Trend Assessment

Declining. The 34th percentile production grade and 44th percentile usage grade indicate a slight decline in production, while the 91st percentile durability grade is consistent with a high level of health.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling: DL2-DL3. Sample must maintain his production levels and continue to play a key role in the 49ers’ pass rush to reach this ceiling. Floor: DL5-DL6.
