Projection Rationale
Matakevich’s 2024 season stats, including 0.0% offense snap%, indicate a reduced role in the Steelers’ defense.

Matakevich’s contract situation, with $0 guaranteed remaining, adds uncertainty to his role security.
Injury Risk

Opportunity Notes
Matakevich’s offense snap% trended stable in 2024, with no significant increases or decreases. His snap share is unlikely to increase, given his age and lack of guaranteed contract value.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Matakevich’s role in the Steelers’ defense is likely to be limited by his age and lack of guaranteed contract value, which may not be ideal for a 4-3 scheme.
Trend Assessment

Ceiling / Floor
