                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                
                                        
                                    Tallies first sack of season
Okereke recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
				ANALYSIS
Okereke has now played 100 percent of defensive snaps in five consecutive games. Across eight regular-season appearances, Okereke has now racked up 68 tackles (36 solo) including 1.0 sacks, plus two pass breakups. He remains a high-floor fantasy option in IDP formats heading into a Week 9 home game against the 49ers.

            How do Bobby Okereke's measurables compare to other linebackers?
            
            
                This section compares his draft workout metrics with players at the same position. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that metric and it would be considered average.

		            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
    Might follow former coach
Okereke is prepared to leave the Colts in free agency and could be interested in heading to the Bears, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
				ANALYSIS
The fourth-year linebacker is coming off back-to-back huge seasons, collecting 283 tackles while playing all 34 games, but coaching and front-office changes in Indianapolis leave his future with the team up in the air. "Just letting my agent focus on that,'' Okereke said Monday. "I have tried to control what I can control," If he does leave the Colts, the 26-year-old hinted he might look to reunite with former Indy defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, who's now the head coach in Chicago. "Flus and those guys aren't here anymore. This is like my first real journey into free agency. It's an opportunity to get financial freedom. It's massive. Indy is near and dear to my heart, but it's not up to me. It's about business.''
