Foyesade Oluokun Fantasy

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.

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Foye Oluokun could see time this season as the goal-line fullback. Oluokun last played fullback in high school, but the Falcons were working their rookie linebacker out in the fullback position on Monday. Oluokun is unlikely to see time there immediately as the Falcons still want to see what they have in Ricky Ortiz. However, the Falcons have history of using defensive players as a fullback. In the short-term there is no fantasy value boost for Oluokun but we have seen fullbacks have fantasy relevant games. The scenario where that may happen for Oluokun is most likely in best ball leagues and it may take a little while before we are even close to that territory.
