2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ojulari's 13 starts, 49 tackles and 8.0 sacks as a rookie back in 2021 still stand as career highs in all three categories, as he was limited by injuries for the third season in a row last year. After calf troubles in 2022 and hamstring and ankle issues in 2023, it was a toe injury which cut Ojulari's season short after 11 games in 2024. He was still productive when available, finishing with 6.0 sacks. He signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in March and will be part of the edge rush rotation as long as he can stay healthy.

Hamstring
October 21, 2025
Ojulari (hamstring) isn't expected to be available for Philadelphia's matchup versus the Giants on Sunday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Ojulari is still recovering from the hamstring injury that forced him to exit in the first half of the Week 7 win over the Vikings. In his absence, Joshua Uche, Patrick Johnson and Brandon Graham, who came out of retirement Tuesday, could all see increased playing time. Ojulari will have the team's Week 9 bye week to get healthy and will look to make his return the following Week 10 versus Green Bay.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024

2022
2021
When healthy, Ojulari has proven to be an impactful pass rusher, registering 16.0 sacks over 35 career regular-season games. However, those 35 contests have been spread across three seasons, and Ojulari logged just 18 regular-season games during the past two years after playing in all 17 matchups in his rookie campaign. New York's offseason trade for Brian Burns is likely to move Ojulari to a part-time pass-rush-specialist role, though it could also help him suit up with more frequency.
A 2021 second-round pick, Ojulari struggled to stay on the field during his second NFL campaign, as injuries limited him to just seven games in the regular season. He was impressive when he played, recording 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles along with 14 tackles. Ojulari has shown the ability to get to the quarterback as a pro, racking up 13.5 sacks over 24 contests. He and 2022 fifth overall pick Kayvon Thibodeaux give New York one of the league's most fearsome young pass-rushing tandems.
Ojulari impressed in his first NFL season, leading New York with a franchise rookie-record eight sacks. There's reason to be optimistic that he'll build on that total in 2022. The Giants brought in Don "Wink" Martindale to take over as defensive coordinator, and his blitz-heavy approach should play to Ojulari's strengths. In addition, New York selected Kayvon Thibodeaux with the fifth pick in the draft, and his presence likely will help generate more opportunities for Ojulari.
Taken with the 50th overall pick, Ojulari actually slipped a bit due to concerns about a high school knee injury he claimed is long behind him. At 6-3, 240 and with 4.63 speed, he only has average size for the position, but he's explosive and athletic. He should start immediately on the outside as the team's top edge rusher and provide pressure, along with the team's best defensive lineman, Leonard Williams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate to be dealt
LBNew York Giants
November 5, 2024
The Giants are considering offers for Ojulari prior to the trade deadline Tuesday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ojulari has seen his role increase with Kayvon Thibodeaux sidelined by a wrist injury, logging 5.0 sacks across his last four games. Multiple teams are reportedly interested, and he's a reasonable trade candidate given that he's set to hit free agency at the close of the season. Russini reports that the Giants are evaluating their offers but have a price in mind, so it's unclear if he'll be moved in the waning moments before the trade deadline.
