FOYESADE OLUOKUN NEWS

Gets back on track verus Miami Oluokun made 13 tackles (eight solo) and picked off a pass during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Oluokun struggled during the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Jets, but he returned to form after the bye week, registering his third double-digit tackle outing of the season. The 26-year-old also recorded his first inception of the year and nearly had a touchdown, as he returned the pick 56 yards to Miami's 14-yard line. Oluokun remains a very reliable IDP option moving forward.

Production falters overseas Oluokun had five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's win over the Jets.

Impact Oluokun managed 43 tackles across the first four weeks of the season, so fantasy managers were doubtless disappointed with his meager production versus New York. Nonetheless, the inside linebacker has handled 100 percent of defensive snaps on the year, so he remains a high-floor IDP option. After a Week 6 bye, Oluokun will travel to Miami.

Impact Oluokun tallied double-digit stops for the second consecutive game, and he has yet to miss a defensive snap this season.

Stacks up 14 tackles Oluokun posted 14 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants.

Impact Oluokun was busy once again, as he has now produced 31 tackles (17 solo) through three games, leading fellow linebacker Deion Jones by three stops. Last season, Oluokun wasn't a full-time player but still managed 117 tackles, and he would shatter that mark at his current pace. It's certainly possible, especially if Atlanta's offense can't turn things around.

Tallies nine stops Oluokun posted nine tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Oluokun has piled up 17 tackles through the first two games, leading the team in the category. He's a high-end IDP option after producing 117 tackles last year, and his upside could rise if the Falcons' offense can't turn things around, as opponents would shift to a run-heavy approach late in games.

Strong start to 2021 Oluokun posted eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Oluokun finished second in tackles behind Deion Jones (11). After piling up 117 stops, four pass breakups, four forced fumbles and three sacks last season, Oluokun's off to an impressive start to 2021. His floor is a bit lower in Week 2 against the Buccaneers if this turns into a shootout.

Registers seven stops in finale Oluokun collected seven tackles (four solo) and one QB hit during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Oluokun was a late addition to the NFC's Pro Bowl ballot, and one has to wonder why the 25-year-old wasn't included sooner. Though Oluokun ultimately was not given the nod for the annual distinction, he did break out with a career season consisting of a team-high 117 tackles, three sacks, four forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a pair of interceptions. The Falcons may have found a defensive cornerstone in the Yale standout, who blossomed into an all-around contributor during his first full season as a starter. The 2018 sixth-round pick enters his final year under contract as the Falcons ready to usher in a new general manager.

Set to play in finale Oluokun (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Will McFadden of AtlantaFalcons.com reports.

Impact Oluokun remained a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but he's slated to play in the Falcons' finale while attempting to extend his streak of six or more tackles to five games.

Limited in Wednesday's session Oluokon (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Jason Butt of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Oluokon has been arguably Atlanta's best player on defense over the last four weeks, collecting 36 tackles and an interception. He'll hope to shed this ankle injury in time to suit up for Sunday's season finale against Tampa Bay in hopes of ending his breakout third NFL season on a high note.

Continues breakout campaign Oluokun collected 10 tackles and a sack during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

Impact The Yale product has generated seven QB hits and three sacks in his past five games after failing to reach the quarterback a single time over the first eight weeks of 2020. His tackle totals remain impressive game-to-game, as Oluokun has posted double-digit tackles in consecutive contests, notching four such performances on the entire year. The 25-year-old's 97 tackles and four forced fumbles represent team highs as the Falcons prepare for a Week 15 matchup against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.

Sheds injury designation Oluokun (neck) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Oluokun practiced fully Friday following a pair of limited sessions, clearing him to play in Week 14. He'll look to build on last week's standout performance against the Saints, when the outside linebacker played every snap on defense and led the Falcons with 13 tackles.

Managing practice reps Oluokun (neck) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Impact Oluokun is coming off one of his best games of the season, seeing 100 percent of the defensive snaps, and racking up 13 tackles (eight solo). It's too early to panic over his chances to play in Week 14 against the Chargers, but expect his practice availability the rest of the week to paint a better picture. If Oluokun is forced to miss game action, Edmond Robinson would likely step into a major role at outside linebacker.

Posts impressive tackle total Oluokun registered 13 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 21-16 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Though he was unable to register a sack for the third time in four games, the Yale product continues to excel in his first full season as a starter. After collecting 10 combined tackles over his preceding two games entering Sunday, Oluokun was capable of posting his third double-digit tackle showing of the 2020 campaign. His four forced fumbles remain second best in the NFL heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Chargers.

Impressive 2020 campaign continues Oluokun logged four tackles, one sack and a forced fumble during Sunday's 43-6 win against Las Vegas.

Impact The third-year linebacker from Yale continues his 2020 Pro Bowl bid, as he currently finds himself tied with Aaron Donald, Myles Garrett and Marlon Humphrey at an NFL-high four forced fumbles. With two sacks and five QB hits over his past three appearances, Oluokun is beginning to make his presence more noticeable in the pass-rush department as well. He was unable to notch a single QB hit or sack in seven appearances between Weeks 1 and 8. Oluokun's 74 combined tackles constitute a team high heading into the Falcons' Week 13 matchup against New Orleans.
