Jeff Okudah Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jeff Okudah (foot) is expected to play in Week 3 despite being listed as questionable. He'll be making his Falcons debut against his old team, the Detroit Lions. The 24-year-old was solid last season, amassing 73 tackles, one forced fumble, and one interception.

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jeff Okudah (ankle) did not take part in the team's practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury that he suffered early in training camp. Okudah still has several days left to return to practice, but right now he's in danger of having to miss the first game of the 2023 regular season in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. The 24-year-old former first-round pick (third overall) of the Detroit Lions in 2020 out of Ohio State was able to make 15 starts for the Lions last year, recording 73 tackles (59 solo), an interception returned for a touchdown, seven passes defensed and a forced fumble after playing in 10 games in his first two NFL campaigns due to serious injuries. There may still be something in Okudah, but for now, he's off the fantasy radar in IDP formats.

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jeff Okudah (ankle) was carted off the field during Friday's practice. However, head coach Arthur Smith revealed on Saturday that the team received "positive" news after Okudah's MRI, adding that the 24-year-old has a "great chance to be back really early" this season. The 2020 No. 3 overall pick has totaled 124 tackles, two interceptions, and 10 passes defensed since entering the NFL. But he's been plagued by injuries, appearing in only 25 games in his first three seasons. While it's apparent Okudah has talent, he'll need to stay healthy before drawing interest in IDP formats moving ahead.
