2023 Fantasy Outlook
Thibodeaux didn't rack up sacks like some expected him to in his rookie campaign, but he still demonstrated the ability to be a dominant NFL defender. The fifth overall pick in the 2022 Draft logged a modest four sacks, but he also registered 40 pressures, 25 hurries and five batted passes along with 49 tackles. Thibodeaux is unquestionably a big part of the Giants' future, and he'll be given every opportunity to grow into an elite pass rusher. He'll likely become even more of an IDP asset in fantasy as he further learns the intricacies of the NFL game. Read Past Outlooks

January 12, 2024
Thibodeaux finished the 2023 campaign with 50 tackles (26 solo), including 11.5 sacks, and added four pass defenses along with three forced fumbles over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
The Giants selected Thibodeaux fifth overall in the 2022 Draft with the hope that he'd develop into an elite pass rusher. Though he showed promising flashes in his rookie campaign, the Oregon product tallied just 4.0 sacks, but he boosted that number to a much more fantasy-friendly 11.5 sacks -- tied for 12th most in the league -- in Year 2. Thibodeaux still has plenty of room to grow, as the sacks dried up over the final four games of the season, and his overall missed-tackle rate increased in comparison to the previous campaign. Still, with two years remaining on his rookie contract, there's little doubt that Thibodeaux is a key piece of the Giants' future plans.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
The Giants got an immediate impact player when they selected Thibodeaux with the fifth pick in the 2022 Draft. An athletic specimen, Thibodeaux racked up 19 sacks across three college seaons. In New York, he could be a monster on the edge in new defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale's blitz-heavy scheme, and he's already being mentioned as an early favorite for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. The sky's the limit for Thibodeaux, so he's worth a look in IDP leagues, despite a likely rookie learning curve.
