Summary
Samson Ebukam carries a 81.0 dynasty score, ranking 79 at DL. Ebukam’s efficiency grade at the 79th percentile and durability grade at the 91st percentile indicate a stable performance trajectory heading into 2027 at age 31.
Projection Rationale
Ebukam’s 22 solo tackles and 5 tackles for loss in 2025 indicate a strong defensive presence. His efficiency grade at the 79th percentile and durability grade at the 91st percentile explain the gap between his production and usage. Ebukam’s contract situation, with 0 years remaining, provides a secure role in 2027.
Injury Risk
Ebukam has had multiple injury entries in 2025, including a Week 10 out designation. His durability grade at the 91st percentile and age of 31 indicate a moderate injury risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Ebukam’s defensive snap percentage trended down in 2025, from 78.0% in Week 2 to 42.0% in Week 13. With a new head coach and scheme, Ebukam’s role and usage may change in 2027.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Jeff Ulbrich coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 33.9% blitz rate. Ebukam’s ability to thrive in a 4-3 scheme, with a high blitz rate, is uncertain.
Trend Assessment
Stable. Ebukam’s durability grade at the 91st percentile and consistency in playing time suggest a strong ability to maintain a high level of performance.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DL2-DL3, requiring a significant increase in defensive snaps and production. Floor: DL4-DL5, if Ebukam’s role decreases or he loses playing time.
