BOBBY OKEREKE NEWS

Racks up 11 tackles Sunday Okereke recorded 11 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-17 loss against the Panthers.

Impact As usual, Okereke paced Giants linebackers in snaps (55) in Week 10, and he posted nine-plus tackles for his third consecutive game. He projects as a solid IDP option in most formats for the home stretch of the season.

Records nine stops in Week 9 Okereke notched nine tackles (five solo), including one for a loss, in a defeat against the Commanders on Sunday.

Impact Okereke finished second on New York in tackles behind Micah McFadden, who racked up 14.

Racks up 14 stops against Steelers Okereke totaled 14 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also forcing and recovering a fumble in a loss to Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football in Week 8.

Impact Okereke was all over the place Monday, finishing with more tackles than any player on the field by a considerable margin. His biggest play came in the latter portion of the fourth quarter, as he combined with Micah McFadden on a sack of a scrambling Russell Wilson, punched the ball out of the QB's grasp and recovered the fumble himself. The double-digit tackle effort was the first of the season for Okereke after he logged seven such performances last year.

Impact After four years with Indianapolis, Okereke joined the Giants ahead of last season and shined in his first campaign in New York. He recorded career-best marks in sacks, pass defenses and forced fumbles while finished two tackles shy of his career-high total in that category. Okereke surprisingly didn't make the Pro Bowl and didn't earn an All-Pro selection, though NFL.com writer Kevin Patra named him as the Giants' "unsung hero." Okereke is set to lead New York's linebacker corps again in 2024 and is a solid IDP option after averaging 150 tackles over the past two seasons.
