Summary
Emmanuel Forbes carries a 71.0 dynasty score, ranking 175 at DB. With 3 years remaining on his contract, he is expected to continue his growth at age 25.
Projection Rationale
Forbes’ 2025 season stats included 32 solo tackles, 3 interceptions, and 18 passes defended, indicating a strong defensive presence. His Verdict grades, with a Production grade at the 48th percentile and an Efficiency grade at the 2nd percentile, suggest room for improvement in his efficiency. With 3 years remaining on his contract, Forbes’ role is secure, but his production will need to increase to meet his draft pedigree.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Forbes’ durability grade percentile is 76th, and at age 25, his risk profile is moderate.
Opportunity Notes
Forbes’ defensive snap share trended down in 2025, averaging 64.1%. The Rams’ defense has a zone-heavy coverage scheme, and Forbes’ role is secure, but his production will need to increase.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Chris Shula coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 21.3% blitz rate. The Rams’ zone-heavy coverage scheme should help Forbes’ interception totals.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Forbes’ defensive snap share trended down in 2025, averaging 64.1%, with a notable drop to 28.0% in Week 5.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB1-DB2 with increased efficiency and production. Forbes must continue to grow and improve his efficiency to meet his draft pedigree.
Floor: DB5-DB6 with reduced role and production. If the Rams’ defense shifts to a more pass-happy scheme or Forbes loses playing time, his production will decrease.
