2022 Fantasy Outlook
Okereke took over as the Colts' starting middle linebacker last season with the departure of Anthony Walker in free agency and proved to be a steady and reliable anchor in the defense. He tallied 132 tackles (89 solo), four pass deflections, two interceptions and one sack in 17 games, numbers that have him on the IDP radar heading into the 2022 campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Lands in New York
LBNew York Giants
March 13, 2023
Okereke is in line to sign a four-year, $40 million deal with the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Okereke will also get $22 million in guaranteed money. His tackle total increased in each of his years with the Colts, and last year, he recorded 151 stops. Although he was listed as a weak-side linebacker in Indianapolis, his exact position with New York is unclear. However, expect New York to use his speed to weaponize him as a tackler. He should be a high-end IDP option on his new team.

Monday Free Agency Recap: QB Dominoes Falling, Ekeler Wants Out
11 days ago
It was quiet a day for RB/WR/TE signings, but Austin Ekeler made some noise with a trade request while the Raiders found their short-term answer at QB.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Okereke looks set to be the starting middle linebacker this season with the departure of Anthony Walker in free agency. Okereke had 72 total tackles and an interception mostly playing the weak-side role last season, so the move could boost his fantasy value.
As a rookie with the Colts in 2019, Okereke logged 65 tackles, a sack and two pass breakups over 16 games. The third-round draft pick did so while making eight starts and averaging 29.9 defensive snaps per game. With a full-time linebacker role alongside Darius Leonard and Anthony Walker now on tap, Okereke could find himself on the fantasy radar in 2020.
