2024 Outlook

Fantasy Impact
The deal includes $22.5 million guaranteed and is worth up to $45 million. He posted a career season last year with 2.5 sacks and 173 tackles.
Free agent linebacker Foyesade Oluokun has agreed to terms with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Oluokun is a high-impact signing for a Jaguars defense in need of a leader in the middle. Oluokun led the league in tackles this past season and will have a prime opportunity to do so once again on the Jaguars. An LB1 for IDP purposes, his value remains unchanged despite no longer having to share the field with Deion Jones. The Jaguars released veteran linebacker Myles Jack in a corresponding move, who has since signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Atlanta rookie linebacker Foyesade Oluokun recorded nine combined tackles versus Baltimore Sunday. That amount slotted the rookie as the second on the team in tackles this contest.
Fantasy Impact
The knee injury will be one thing to keep an eye on for Week 14. The arrows continue to point up for Oluokun's fantasy owners. Nine combined tackles and sharing time on the field with Deion Jones. Dynasty owners should be excited about the possibilities. In a contest that would determine if Oluokun earned playing time over at least Duke Riley, this was as a positive sign as it gets.
Although rookie linebacker Foyesade Oluokun didn't dominate in the Thursday night loss to New Orleans. He did perform on a level that is warranting some attention. He led all tackle production for Atlanta with ten combined tackles.
Fantasy Impact
For a sixth-round rookie, Oluokun is making his mark on what is turning out to be a really bad season for Atlanta because of injuries. IDP owners should keep him in mind for dynasty leagues as well as for the rest of this season if Deion Jones (foot) isn't active. At this point even if he is, the likely scenario as it looks keeps Oluokun in play.
It all came together in the Week 11 loss to Dallas at home for Atlanta rookie linebacker Foye Oluokun. He recorded a team-leading ten combined tackles topping not only the tackle production on the field, but topping the list of noticeable players as well. As a full-time starter now, he just may stick if or when Deion Jones (foot) returns. He was reportedly one of the obvious players on the field for Atlanta on defense that stood out as a player who is hitting his mid-season stride.
Fantasy Impact
IDP owners who haven't taken notice might want to at this point. The snap counts were there again as well as the IDP production managing to match the amount of time on the field.
