2022 Fantasy Outlook
Ojulari impressed in his first NFL season, leading New York with a franchise rookie-record eight sacks. There's reason to be optimistic that he'll build on that total in 2022. The Giants brought in Don "Wink" Martindale to take over as defensive coordinator, and his blitz-heavy approach should play to Ojulari's strengths. In addition, New York selected Kayvon Thibodeaux with the fifth pick in the draft, and his presence likely will help generate more opportunities for Ojulari. Read Past Outlooks

Impresses when able to play
LBNew York Giants
February 3, 2023
Ojulari finished the 2022 regular season with 5.5 sacks among his 14 tackles across seven games. He added one defended pass and three forced fumbles.
ANALYSIS
Ojulari was limited by injuries throughout the campaign, the most serious of which was a calf issue that kept him out of nine of New York's first 11 contests. The second-year pro flashed his explosive skills upon his return, tallying 4.5 sacks in four games between Week 13 and Week 16. Ojulari has two years remaining on his rookie contract and will be a key piece of the Giants' defensive scheme next season. He could be due for a breakout campaign if he's able to stay healthy.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Taken with the 50th overall pick, Ojulari actually slipped a bit due to concerns about a high school knee injury he claimed is long behind him. At 6-3, 240 and with 4.63 speed, he only has average size for the position, but he's explosive and athletic. He should start immediately on the outside as the team's top edge rusher and provide pressure, along with the team's best defensive lineman, Leonard Williams.
