Summary
Clelin Ferrell carries an 80.0 dynasty score, ranking 93 at DL. Ferrell’s production has been steady, indicating a 46th percentile production grade and a 78th percentile durability grade heading into 2026.
Projection Rationale
Ferrell’s 4 sacks and 11 pressures in 12 games indicate a strong pass-rushing presence, but his efficiency grade at the 77th percentile suggests room for improvement. With a 50th percentile contract grade and 0 years remaining on his contract, Ferrell’s role security is uncertain.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Ferrell’s durability grade at the 78th percentile and age 28 suggest a moderate injury risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Ferrell’s snap share trended up to 74.0% in Week 15, but his role remains uncertain due to the 49ers’ rotation usage. The 49ers’ defensive coordinator and scheme type may impact Ferrell’s opportunity.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Sean Duggan coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 21.0% blitz rate. The 4-3 scheme and blitz rate may limit Ferrell’s ceiling due to reduced pass-rushing opportunities.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Ferrell’s snap share trended up, but the 2025 season stats indicate a decline in pressures and hurries, contributing to his declining trajectory.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL2-DL3, with Ferrell securing a starting role and contributing to the 49ers’ pass rush. Floor: DL4-DL5, with Ferrell being relegated to a reserve role or losing his spot in the rotation.
