2025 Fantasy Outlook
Okereke missed the final five games of the 2024 season due to a herniated disc in his back, though it was a certainty that he would have tallied at least 100 tackles for the fourth straight year had he remained healthy. He's in an equally strong position entering 2025, as he's set to pair with Micah McFadden in the middle of the Giants' linebacker corps. McFadden's struggles in coverage are important for Okereke, making the latter a near-lock for every down work and providing him with additional opportunity to rack up tackles. Okereke's own work in coverage and as a pass rusher has been inconsistent, but he remains a strong run stuffer with an undeniable role and ability to rack up stops. Expect another strong year in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Steady again with eight stops
Okereke tallied eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's Week 12 overtime loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Okereke finished as New York's second-leading tackler behind Dane Belton (nine). Okereke has at least six stops in 11 of 12 contests this season and has reached the double-digit mark four times. The veteran linebacker leads the Giants with 103 tackles on the campaign, marking the fourth time in five seasons he's reached the triple-digit mark.

When Okereke signed with the Giants prior to the 2023 season, there was virtually no doubt that he'd pile up tackles at among the most prolific rates in the league. He didn't disappoint in that regard, tallying 149 total tackles. What did change was his ability to be effective in other roles. He had regularly been asked to work in coverage throughout his career, but something clicked with Big Blue as he came up with a career-high 10 passes defensed, translating to two interceptions. The difference in his role came as a pass rusher, as he logged a career-best 137 snaps as a pass rusher, resulting in 2.5 sacks. In contrast, he had only two sacks combined across his first four seasons in the league. The Giants have a new defensive coaching staff which could mean his role changes again, but at worst he's going to be on the field consistently while piling a ton of tackles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be cap casualty
Okereke might be cut by the Giants in the offseason, Darryl Slater of NJ.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old linebacker is posting his usual impressive tackle totals with 88 through 10 games, but Okereke's gotten poor grades this season for his coverage and run defense ability, and he may have lost a step. With one year left on his current deal, letting Okereke go would save the Giants $9 million against next year's salary cap while incurring $5.4 million in dead money, something the front office might be willing to do as it rebuilds a defense that's 27th in the league in points per game allowed and 29th in yards per game allowed.
