2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ogbah only played more than 50 percent of defensive snaps in one game last season, Miami's regular-season finale against Buffalo. He stands to once again handle a rotational role, but could be leaned on more heavily if Bradley Chubb and/or Jaelan Phillips miss time early in the season due to their respective injuries.

Records second sack in win
LBMiami Dolphins
October 7, 2024
Ogbah recorded four tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Dolphins' win over the Patriots on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah's sack was his second of the season and first since the Week 1 opener. The veteran edge rusher is logging heavy snaps in Miami with Jaelan Phillips (knee, IR) done for the year and Bradley Chubb (knee, PUP) still waiting to make his season debut. Ogbah is up to 18 tackles (12 solo), including the 2.0 sacks, five total QB hits and one interception through five contests.

2017
Ogbah is back to full health after playing only nine games last season. He was the Dolphins team sack leader in both 2021 and 2020 with 9.0, so he could thrive with new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
Ogbah signed a two-year prove-it deal with the Dolphins in 2020, and he more than made his case for a long-term gig after serving as the team's sack leader in two straight seasons (9.0 in each). Now playing on a four-year, $65 million deal, Ogbah appears a secure bet to repeat with another top-24 fantasy season.
Ogbah's inaugural season in Miami resulted in a career-high nine sacks, nearly doubling his previous single-season record. The Dolphins defense appears primed to take another step forward in 2021. Since Ogbah remains set for a starting role, he's in good position to log another season of solid production.
As great as Myles Garrett appears, anyone who overlooks Ogbah does so at their own peril. He doesn't have the quickness or flexibility to bend around blockers, but Ogbah sets the edge well and boasts top-shelf explosiveness in a straight line, making him a candidate to collapse the pocket when he catches a split gap. With 4.6 speed and a big wingspan, Ogbah (6-4, 275) figures to enjoy at least a couple seasons with double-digit sacks, especially with Garrett crashing the pocket from the other side.
Ogbah nearly fell to the third round of the 2016 draft, but he's already looking worth the pick for Cleveland. His 2016 stats might not look like much, but it's fine work for a rookie playing 850 snaps. His prospect profile shows untapped upside -- he posted double-digit sacks his last two years in college, and he's an explosive athlete with 4.63 speed at 6-4, 275. With the chance to play something closer to 1,000 snaps in new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' likely 4-3 defense, Ogbah should take the next step as an IDP.
