Summary
Percy Butler carries a 43.0 dynasty score, ranking 395 at DB. Butler’s 2025 season saw 2 solo tackles in 16 games, indicating a need for increased production. As he approaches free agency in 2026, Butler’s durability and youth suggest potential for growth.
Projection Rationale
Butler’s 2025 season was marked by limited playing time, averaging 3.0% defense snaps, which is stable. However, his Verdict efficiency grade at the 33rd percentile indicates room for improvement. Butler’s contract situation, with $2,928,255 in cap hit and $3,406,000 in guaranteed remaining, suggests a secure role in 2026.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Given Butler’s 94th percentile Verdict durability grade and youth, his injury risk profile is low.
Opportunity Notes
Butler’s snap share trended stable, averaging 3.0% in 2025. However, his role in the Commanders’ secondary may be limited, and he faces competition from other defensive backs.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Raheem Morris coordinates an aggressive 4-3 defense with a 33.9% blitz rate. This scheme type may limit Butler’s ceiling, as he is not suited for blitz-heavy packages.
Trend Assessment
Declining. Butler’s production has decreased, as evident from his 25th percentile Verdict production grade and lack of notable advanced statistics (0 pressures, 0 hurries).
Ceiling / Floor
Butler’s ceiling is DB3-DB5, contingent upon increased production and a significant role in the Commanders’ secondary. His floor is DB7-DB10, reflecting his limited playing time and potential trade value of 1,290.
Comparable Player
Mike Brown, 1985-1997.
