Foyesade Oluokun Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun has a favorable matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 14. Opposing IDP linebackers score more points against the Browns than against two-thirds of the other offenses, as the Browns rush the ball often. Rams linebacker Ernest Jones, who, like Oluokun, excels at stopping running plays, made 15 combined tackles against the Browns last week. Oluokun has made double-digit tackles in two straight games and eight times in total this season. He has also made more impact plays than he has in the past, as he has tied his career high in fumble recoveries and is close to setting a new career high in sacks. Oluokun is an every-week IDP starter, and this week, he could have a stellar performance.

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun had a dominant performance in the Jaguars' 31-24 win over the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football. Oluokun racked up tackles, making nine solos and five assists, and an interception he returned for a touchdown. In the third quarter, with the Jaguars up 17-9 and the Saints deep in their own territory, Oluokun caught a batted ball and took it back, diving at the pylon, to put Jacksonville up by two touchdowns. The touchdown, the first of his career, would end up being decisive. Oluokun, who has led the league in tackles for two straight seasons, was third in tackles going into this week and around fifth in IDP scoring.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to a three-year, $45 million deal with standout linebacker Foye Oluokun on Monday, according to a source. The former sixth-round pick can earn as much as $46.5 million and will receive $28 million fully guaranteed at signing. Oluokun has developed into an every-down, off-the-ball linebacker and is now the fourth highest-paid at his position at $15 million per year. The 26-year-old wasn't all that great in run defense and pass coverage for the Atlanta Falcons last year, but he was very much in play in IDP fantasy leagues with a league-high 192 tackles (102 solo), four tackles for loss, seven QB hits, three interceptions, six passes defensed, one forced fumble and two sacks in 17 games.
