2024 Fantasy Outlook
In his sophomore campaign, Thibodeaux fulfilled the promise the Giants saw in him when they drafted him fifth overall in 2022, as he tied for 12th in the NFL with 11.5 sacks. He did sputter out a bit late in the campaign - he had only a half sack over five games following the team's Week 13 bye - but the overall picture he painted was of a potentially dominant pass rusher for years to come. New York's addition of Brian Burns via trade in the offseason should improve Thibodeaux's outlook further, as opponents will have a harder time double-teaming him with Burns now in the fold.

Records sack Week 14
LBNew York Giants
December 8, 2024
Thibodeaux registered three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
In addition to the sack, Thibodeaux had an additional quarterback hit and an additional tackle for loss. The sack came at a crucial time, as Thibodeaux brought down Saints QB Jake Haener on a second-down play with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, leading to a New Orleans punt to give New York a shot at a late comeback. Sunday's sack was Thibodeaux's first since Week 5, though it's important to note that he missed Weeks 6-10 due to a wrist injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May not be ready for Week 10
LBNew York Giants
October 22, 2024
Thibodeaux said it would be ambitious for him to return from injured reserve when first eligible, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thibodeaux is dealing with a wrist injury that was expected to sideline him for 4-to-6 weeks. The earliest he could return from IR would be Week 10, the shorter end of that timeline, but that now appears overly optimistic. Azeez Ojulari has taken over pass-rushing duties in his place and has tallied 3.0 sacks across his last two games.
