Cincy Jungle on DJ Turner
From the article
DJ Turner II's play surged in 2025... The sticky cover man netted a -6.2% CPOE, fifth-best among all CBs (min. 500 coverage snaps) and a -0.1 EPA per target... DJ Turner should have been a Pro Bowler last season. He was one of the biggest snubs.
STACKED’s take
Turner's elite coverage metrics and Pro Bowl snub position him for 2026 breakout with improved defense.
Turner's play surged in 2025 with elite coverage metrics: -6.2% CPOE (fifth-best among all CBs with min. 500 coverage snaps) and -0.1 EPA per target per Next Gen Stats. The source argues Turner was a major Pro Bowl snub and projects his 2026 outlook positively: "With an upgraded unit around the rising CB, Turner's play should improve even more in 2026. DJ Turner should have been a Pro Bowler last season. He was one of the biggest snubs. If Cincinnati is a better team, he should get the attention he deserves." The source attributes his lack of recognition to playing on a moribund Bengals defense that was one of the worst units in NFL history.
