2025 Fantasy Outlook
Oliver played 14 regular-season games in 2024 but finished the year with just 29 tackles (14.0 solo), including 3.0 sacks, plus three forced fumbles - a notable step down after he tallied 51 tackles, including 9.5 sacks, in 16 regular-season contests back in 2023. DaQuan Jones also regressed in 2024, leaving Buffalo's interior pass rush lacking. Oliver remains locked into a key starting role for Buffalo heading into his age-28 season, with two years remaining on his contract, but expectations for his production should be tempered.

Signed a four-year, $68 million contract with the Bills in June of 2022.
Regresses in 2024
Oliver recorded 29 total tackles (14 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while adding three forced fumbles over 14 regular-season games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old was one of the NFL's most productive defensive linemen in 2023 after posting 51 total tackles, including 9.5 sacks, across 16 regular-season games. However, he wasn't able to repeat that performance. Despite the dip in production, Oliver still tied Greg Rousseau for the most forced fumbles on Buffalo's defense, while also ranking fourth on the team in sacks. He signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the Bills last offseason, and there's been no indication the team is looking to get out from under that deal.

2019
Oliver's fifth year in the league was easily his best, as the 2019 first-rounder set career highs for tackles (51), sacks (9.5), and tackles for loss (14). Looking ahead, the 26-year-old Oliver and fellow interior lineman DaQuan Jones will continue to lead one of the stronger units on the Bills, and if your league forces you to have a spot for both defensive ends and tackles, Oliver is one of the league's better IDP choices for the latter slot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Room for improvement in game sense
Defensive line coach Eric Washington believes Oliver has yet to play up to his potential, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News.
ANALYSIS
Washington would like to see Oliver improve in the mental aspects of the game and start playing from ahead. Better pre-game preparation and film study could help Buffalo's 2019 first-round pick take a step forward, though Oliver has already done enough to earn a four-year, $68 million extension earlier this offseason despite posting a career-low 2.5 sacks in 2022.
