2025 Fantasy Outlook
Muasau had an inconsistent role in his rookie campaign but finished by starting New York's final five games, averaging 8.2 tackles per week during that stretch. Those starts coincided with Bobby Okereke missing that span of contests due to a back injury, however, and Muasau stands to return to a rotational and special-teams role in 2025 behind both Okereke and Micah McFadden. That said, an injury to either of the two starters could thrust Muasau into prominent defensive snaps again. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.22 million contract with the Giants in May of 2024.
Goes on injured reserve
The Giants placed Muasau (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Muasau was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears due to an ankle injury he sustained against the 49ers in Week 9. His placement on IR means he'll be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 15 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 14 the earliest he can return. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is in line to start at inside linebacker alongside Bobby Okereke due to Muasau and Micah McFadden (foot) both being on IR.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for bigger role
Muasau is set to take on a bigger role due to Micah McFadden being sidelined by a foot injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
McFadden is set to undergo surgery and doesn't have a clear timeline to return. Muasau closed the 2024 season as a starter for the Giants and logged at least eight tackles in four of the team's last five games, but he managed only two tackles on 34 defensive snaps in Week 1 after McFadden's departure.
