Kayvon Thibodeaux Fantasy Stats

The New York Giants have engaged in trade talks surrounding defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, and the New Orleans Saints are among the teams showing "strong interest," sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. If a deal goes down for Thibodeaux, it could come as early as Friday night during the second and third rounds of the 2026 NFL draft. Even though the Giants recently dealt defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for a first-rounder in this year's draft, they are open to moving Thibodeaux as well and continue to listen to offers. The Saints could use some more edge rushers, but they chose to address their offense in the first round on Thursday night by taking receiver Jordyn Tyson with the eighth overall pick. Thibodeaux, 25, was a former fifth overall pick in 2022 out of Oregon. He played in a career-low 10 games in 2025 and had a career-low 2.5 sacks, but NFL teams could be looking to buy low on him after he recorded 23.5 sacks in his first four NFL seasons. New York's selection of edge rusher Arvell Reese at fifth overall on Thursday night made Thibodeaux more expendable.

The NFL Network reports that New York Giants pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) is "more unlikely" to be traded now that the Giants recently traded defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick in this year's NFL draft. However, the possibility of Thibodeaux also hasn't been ruled out, with head coach John Harbaugh saying weeks ago that "everyone is tradable." The G-Men have fielded trade offers for Thibodeaux dating back to last year, but even with Abdul Carter and Brian Burns looking like the team's starting edge duo, they have been hesitant to trade Thibodeaux. He counts for $14.75 million against this year's salary cap and is entering his walk year on a fifth-year option. The Giants have reportedly been asking for at least a third-rounder in exchange for Thibodeaux, but no teams are currently willing to meet that asking price. It doesn't help that he missed the last seven games in 2025 with a shoulder injury. Thibodeaux has just eight sacks in his last 22 games after he broke out with 11.5 sacks in 2023.

The New York Giants are expected to move linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux this offseason, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Thibodeaux comes with a salary of nearly $15 million, and Raanan expects the Giants to move on from the former first-round pick so that they can spend money on "others in their defensive front, whether it be middle linebacker or defensive line." If this is indeed the end of Thibodeaux's time in New York, he finishes his Giants stint with 23.5 sacks, 152 tackles, 55 quarterback hits, and six forced fumbles across four seasons (53 games, 53 starts). Health has been somewhat of a concern with the 25-year-old, who missed 12 games over the last two years. He'll look to get back to his 2022 and 2023 form; he finished fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2022, and he had 11.5 sacks in 2023. Upon his anticipated departure, Abdul Carter and Brian Burns will continue to make an impact as edge rushers on either end of the defensive line.

According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, the New York Giants are expected to pick up the fifth-year option on linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux. Duggan noted that while Thibodeaux has shown flashes of elite upside, he has not made the impact the team had hoped, given that he was selected with the fifth-overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. As a result, Duggan expects the team to pick up his option instead of discussing a long-term contract. After tallying just four sacks with 48 tackles in his rookie season, Thibodeaux enjoyed a massive sophomore season where he tallied 11.5 sacks. In that season, he totaled 50 tackles and three forced fumbles. However, in 2024, Thibodeaux took a step back as he logged just 5.5 sacks with 28 tackles. Fantasy managers should expect Thibodeaux to have a starting role in the New York defense next season.

New York Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of Week 12 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old is technically listed as questionable, but he's expected to play on Sunday now that New York has elevated him to its 53-man roster. Thibodeaux, who is coming off two full practices, hasn't played since Week 5 against Seattle. Through a handful of contests earlier in the year, he registered 12 tackles and two sacks. His presence will be key as the Giants look to slow down Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers this weekend.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday that the team is opening the 21-day practice window for linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) to return from Injured Reserve, and the team is hopeful that he can play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Thibodeaux missed a fifth straight game in Week 10 due to a broken wrist, but after having last week's bye to rest up, the 23-year-old could return for New York's defense. The former fifth overall pick in 2022 out of Oregon will be a welcomed addition as they look to slow down a Bucs defense this weekend that could be getting star wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back. Through five games in 2024 in his third NFL season, Thibodeaux has provided only 12 tackles (eight solo), two sacks and seven QB hits for the G-Men.

The New York Giants will place linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to source. Thibodeaux broke the scaphoid bone in his wrist in last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks and will now miss at least the next four games. A source said Thibodeaux has a four- to six-week timeline. If he only misses the required four games, Thibodeaux could return for a Week 10 date against the Carolina Panthers. But with the Giants having their bye in Week 11, there's a better chance that we don't see him again until Week 12 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old had surgery on his wrist on Wednesday. The former fifth overall pick in 2022 out of Oregon had only 12 tackles (eight solo), two sacks, three tackles for loss and seven QB hits in five games into his third NFL season before getting injured. Azeez Ojulari and Patrick Johnson will be expected to step up with bigger workloads with Thibodeaux out for the G-Men.

New York Giants standout pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) suffered a fractured scaphoid bone in his wrist in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks and had surgery on Wednesday, according to a source. Head coach Brian Daboll described Thibodeaux as "week-to-week." After having surgery, it seems unlikely that Thibodeaux will be able to suit up for Sunday night's game against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. The 23-year-old has been making a big impact for New York's defense so far in 2024, so any time missed will surely be a downgrade for their unit, especially against a Bengals offense that finally appears to be clicking after getting off to a slow start this year. Thibodeaux, the fifth overall pick in 2022 out of Oregon, has 12 tackles (eight solo), two sacks, three tackles for loss and seven QB hits so far through five games.

New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Dallas Cowboys. The 2022 No. 5 overall pick, who entered Week 10 with a team-high 8.5 sacks, suffered a concussion before he was ultimately ruled out. Of course, IDP fantasy managers will anxiously await an update, considering the injury could keep him out in Week 11 for the NFC East showdown against the Washington Commanders.

New York Giants pass-rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are both active for Monday Night Football against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. Both players came into this contest listed as questionable, but they will suit up as the G-Men look to stay perfect on the season. Thibodeaux, the No. 5 overall pick, will be making his NFL debut against after he sprained his right MCL in the second preseason game. Against a suspect Cowboys offensive line, the 21-year-old pass-rusher could make an immediate impact for the Giants defense. Ojulari will also be making his 2022 season debut after getting injured in August.
