2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez-Roches was a steady if unspectacular part of New York's defensive line last season, posting a career-best 52 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, over 15 games. The Southern Miss product also started every game in which he appeared for the first time as a pro. While Nunez-Roches offers a steady veteran presence, it remains to be seen if he'll hang onto a starting role after New York's offseason additions of fellow vet Roy Robertson-Harris and rookie Darius Alexander.

Signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Giants in March of 2023.
Likely out for Week 2
Nunez-Roches (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Nunez-Roches appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest, as he downgraded from full participation in Wednesday's practice to a DNP on Friday. The veteran defensive lineman played 29 defensive snaps for the Giants in their Week 1 loss to the Commanders, recording one tackle. With Nunez-Roches likely out Week 2, Darius Alexander is expected to serve as one of New York's top interior defensive linemen.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be cut loose
Nunez-Roches could be released by the Giants this offseason to free up cap space, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive lineman signed a three-year deal with New York ahead of the 2023 season, but Nunez-Roches hasn't been an effective run-stuffing complement to Dexter Lawrence in the trenches. Cutting the 31-year-old Nunez-Roches this offseason would create about $3.6 million in cap space, but it would leave the Giants' defensive line even thinner.
