2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $15.41 million contract with the Commanders in July of 2023. Waived by the Commanders in December of 2024. Claimed off waivers by the Rams in December of 2024.
Career resurgence with LA
Forbes had 45 tackles (32 solo) and 18 passes defensed, including three interceptions, over 17 regular-season games with the Rams in 2025.
ANALYSIS
Forbes ended the 2024 season as a healthy scratch for the Rams after being waived by the Commanders in early December. After an offseason of work with his new team, the cornerback has grown into a player who better reflects the first-round draft capital used to acquire him. The 25-year-old was a consistent contributor throughout the 2025 season and will likely compete for a starting outside cornerback job. Forbes has one year left on his rookie deal, and even though the Rams picked him up off waivers, they cannot exercise the fifth-year option typically associated with first-round picks because they are not the team that drafted him.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Forbes is an unusual cornerback prospect in terms of both size (166 pounds at the 2023 Combine) and collegiate production (14 INTs returned for 390 yards and six TDs in three seasons). Running a 4.35 40 at the combine helped alleviate concerns about the size, and Washington bit with the 16th overall pick in April's draft. Forbes isn't likely to make a ton of tackles but could have value in IDP leagues that slant the scoring more toward takeaways, pass defenses and return touchdowns.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting fresh start
Forbes regularly worked with the starters during mandatory minicamp, John Keim of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Forbes had a disappointing rookie season in 2023, as he started only six games due to a combination of poor performance and injury. However, he'll get a fresh start with a new coaching staff, and he worked this offseason to gain more strength, allowing him to better match up with physical receivers within the division such as Philadelphia's A.J. Brown. The Commanders did add Michael Davis this offseason, who could challenge Forbes for a starting job at outside corner.
