2024 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez-Roches began last season in a rotational role for New York but ended up playing over half of the team's defensive snaps in five of his eight contests after Leonard Williams was traded to Seattle in October. Though Nunez-Roches finished with the second-highest tackle total (26) of his nine-year NFL career, his production registered as hardly a ripple from an IDP perspective, especially since he notched only a half-sack. Nunez-Roches should get an opportunity to log significant snaps again in 2024, but his career body of work suggests his statistical output will likely remain tepid. Read Past Outlooks

January 8, 2025
Nunez-Roches ended the 2024 regular season with 52 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, along with two defensed passes over 15 games (all starts).
ANALYSIS
Nunez-Roches missed two games late in the campaign due to a neck/shoulder issue, but he still blew away his previous career-best mark of 33 stops. The veteran defensive lineman's 2.0 sacks also matched a career high, and his 585 defensive snaps were the most he's logged in his 10-season professional career. He's been far from spectacular since joining the Giants ahead of the 2023 campaign, but Nunez-Roches is signed through 2025, so he should be back with New York next year and will likely fill a similar role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2017
2015
Nunez-Roches played in every game for the Buccaneers last season, making 10 starts and notching two sacks among his 33 tackles. The Giants signed the veteran in the offseason to improve their depth along the defensive line. Nunez-Roches should help spell Dexter Lawrence, who played on a whopping 82 percent of the team's defensive snaps last season. Nunez-Roches is solid against the run but isn't much of a pass rusher and is unlikely to be an IDP asset.
Nunez-Roches enters his third seasons with the Chiefs following a 2016 campaign that resulted in 23 tackles (14 solo) and his first career sack while starting five games and appearing in 11. However, his playing time was aided by a season-ending shoulder injury to Allen Bailey. Should the three starters on the defensive line remain healthy throughout the regular season, a slight regression should be anticipated.
A sixth-round pick in the 2105 NFL Draft, Nunez-Roches figures to compete for a roster spot as depth along the defensive line.
