2025 Fantasy Outlook
Okuayinonu carved out a decent role with San Francisco in 2024 while filling in for injured rotation pieces. The Maryland product recorded 35 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble across 16 games (432 defensive snaps). The 27-year-old's solid play earned him another one-year contract with the 49ers, with whom he likely will serve a similar depth role behind Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams and Bryce Huff.

Hurts ankle in Week 8
Okuayinonu is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Houston due to an ankle injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Okuayinonu was injured on a C.J. Stroud scramble early in the fourth quarter. He had to be carted off the field, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's unable to return to the game. Okuayinonu's injury is another blow to a San Francisco defensive line that is already without a bevy of players, including Nick Bosa (knee), Bryce Huff (hamstring) and Yetur Gross-Matos (knee/hamstring).
