2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Another injury-plagued campaign
Ojulari totaled 16 tackles (nine solo), including 2.5 sacks, over 11 contests during the 2023 season.
ANALYSIS
Separate hamstring and ankle injuries caused Ojulari to miss six games early in the season, and he's suited up in just 18 of a possible 34 regular-season contests over the past two campaigns. After logging a promising 8.0 sacks as a rookie in 2021, the Georgia product tallied a career-low 2.5 sacks in 2023, with two of those coming in the relatively meaningless regular-season finale against Philadelphia. Ojulari has shown considerable pass-rush talent when able to suit up, but his ability to stay healthy will be key as he looks to have a bounce-back year in the final season of his rookie contract in 2024.

2021
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.
