2024 Fantasy Outlook
When healthy, Ojulari has proven to be an impactful pass rusher, registering 16.0 sacks over 35 career regular-season games. However, those 35 contests have been spread across three seasons, and Ojulari logged just 18 regular-season games during the past two years after playing in all 17 matchups in his rookie campaign. New York's offseason trade for Brian Burns is likely to move Ojulari to a part-time pass-rush-specialist role, though it could also help him suit up with more frequency. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
A 2021 second-round pick, Ojulari struggled to stay on the field during his second NFL campaign, as injuries limited him to just seven games in the regular season. He was impressive when he played, recording 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles along with 14 tackles. Ojulari has shown the ability to get to the quarterback as a pro, racking up 13.5 sacks over 24 contests. He and 2022 fifth overall pick Kayvon Thibodeaux give New York one of the league's most fearsome young pass-rushing tandems.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate to be dealt
The Giants are considering offers for Ojulari prior to the trade deadline Tuesday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ojulari has seen his role increase with Kayvon Thibodeaux sidelined by a wrist injury, logging 5.0 sacks across his last four games. Multiple teams are reportedly interested, and he's a reasonable trade candidate given that he's set to hit free agency at the close of the season. Russini reports that the Giants are evaluating their offers but have a price in mind, so it's unclear if he'll be moved in the waning moments before the trade deadline.
