2024 Fantasy Outlook
Oliver's fifth year in the league was easily his best, as the 2019 first-rounder set career highs for tackles (51), sacks (9.5), and tackles for loss (14). Looking ahead, the 26-year-old Oliver and fellow interior lineman DaQuan Jones will continue to lead one of the stronger units on the Bills, and if your league forces you to have a spot for both defensive ends and tackles, Oliver is one of the league's better IDP choices for the latter slot.

Past knee issue
Oliver (knee) recorded three total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, during Saturday's 9-3 preseason win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Oliver was dealing with a knee injury toward the beginning of August, but it now appears that he's moved past the issue. The 2019 first-round pick out of Houston has been an integral part of the Bills' defensive line over the last couple seasons, recording 85 total tackles, including 12.0 sacks, while also defending six passes across 29 regular-season contests. Expect Oliver to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses now that he's returned to full health.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Room for improvement in game sense
Defensive line coach Eric Washington believes Oliver has yet to play up to his potential, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News.
ANALYSIS
Washington would like to see Oliver improve in the mental aspects of the game and start playing from ahead. Better pre-game preparation and film study could help Buffalo's 2019 first-round pick take a step forward, though Oliver has already done enough to earn a four-year, $68 million extension earlier this offseason despite posting a career-low 2.5 sacks in 2022.
