News

  • Production falters overseas

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

    Analysis: Oluokun managed 43 tackles across the first four weeks of the season, so fantasy managers were likely 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.

  • Keeps racking up stops

    Oluokun recorded 12 tackles, one sack, two quarterback hits and a pass defended in Sunday's loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Oluokun tallied double-digit stops for the second consecutive game, and he has yet to miss a defensive snap this season. He also recorded his first sack of the campaign, taking down Taylor Heinicke on the first play of the second quarter. Through four contests, Oluokun has paced the Falcons with 43 total stops.

  • Stacks up 14 tackles

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Set to play in finale

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Begins week limited

    Oluokun (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun dealt with a knee injury earlier this season but avoided missing time. His ability to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, is encouraging, although it's worth keeping an eye on his status. The third-year linebacker is a vital member of an otherwise putrid defense, as he's piled up 69 tackles, a sack, three pass breakups and three forced fumbles through nine games.

  • Recovers fumble in Week 11 loss

    Oluokun collected five tackles and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: After initially being snubbed from the NFC's Pro Bowl ballot, Oluokun proved again in New Orleans why he should have had his name in consideration from the start. With another pivotal play, Oluokun has now recorded four combined forced fumbles and fumble recoveries on the 2020 campaign, adding one sack, an interception and three pass deflections. Having just surpassed his previous career high with his eighth start of the season, Oluokun is enjoying a breakout year playing in a more full-time…read more

  • Notches sack, huge tackle total

    Oluokun tallied 10 total tackles, one pass deflection and a sack during Sunday's 34-27 win against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Deion Jones (six tackles) was the only Falcon with more than half of Oluokun's tackle total, though the Yale product also made his presence felt while rushing the passer. Oluokun logged three additional QB hits on top of his second-quarter sack Sunday, after he had failed to notch a single mark in either category through his first seven appearances of 2020. The 25-year-old is liable to continue posting occasional sack numbers, as his 31 blitzes so far this season are more than he had over his…read more

  • Gets two fourth-down stops in win

    Oluokun collected five total tackles, including a half tackle for loss during Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Oluokun was able to chase Teddy Bridgewater to the edge and usher him out of bounds to force a turnover on downs at the 4:01 mark of the second quarter. On Carolina's opening offensive drive of the second half, Oluokun also teamed with Grady Jarrett to bring down Mike Davis for a one-yard loss on another fourth-down try. Oluokun, a Yale product, has been one of the breakouts of Atlanta's defense this year, ascending into a starting role with the offseason departure of De'Vondre Campbell to…read more

  • Stacks up nine stops

    Oluokun posted nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: It was another fantastic effort by the third-year linebacker out of Yale, as he finished second only to Keanu Neal in tackles and now has 49 stops this season. Oluokun's playing every defensive snap, too, so he should easily surpass the 100-tackle threshold as long as he stays healthy.

  • Picks off Kirk Cousins

    Oluokun collected six tackles, one tackle for loss and one interception during Sunday's 40-23 win against Minnesota.

    Analysis: Oluokun corralled the third of Kirk Cousins' three first-half interceptions, returning the ball 14 yards into Vikings territory to help set up a successful Younghoe Koo field-goal attempt nine plays later. The Yale product has been a difference-maker in his five appearances for Atlanta this season, as he is now tied with Deion Jones for a team-high 40 tackles. He also has four forced takeaways on the year, as the Falcons prepare to face a Lions offense Week 7 that committed one turnover during…read more

    Oluokun (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: Oluokun has regularly had his practice reps capped while dealing with injuries this season, and a knee issue kept him to three limited sessions this week. Nonetheless, Oluokun looks set to draw his usual start at linebacker in Minnesota.

  • Limited during Wednesday's session

    Oluokun (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun has been a regular on the Falcons' injury report this season, as he's dealt with hamstring and oblique injuries. This appears to be a new issue, but it's good news that he's still on the field ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings. It'd be a major hit if he was forced to miss any time, as the third-year linebacker has piled up 34 tackles and three forced fumbles over four games.

  • Tackling machine in Week 5 loss

    Oluokun racked up 14 tackles, including one tackle for loss during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Panthers.

    Analysis: The third-year linebacker battled through an oblique injury during the practice week to pick up his fourth game appearance of 2020, subsequently obliterating his previous single-game high of 10 tackles during the divisional defeat. Oluokun has transformed into a full-time starter via a combination of his development and the offseason departure of De'Vondre Campbell to Arizona. So far this year, the Yale product has recorded at least six tackles in every game that he's been active.

  • Back to full practice

    Oluokun (oblique) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This is good news for the Yale product, as he was back in full practice status after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Now that Oluokun appears fully healthy, he'll assume his usual starting role as one of the team's outside linebackers.

  • Picks up oblique injury

    Oluokon (oblique) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Oluokon joins Atlanta's extensive injury report after racking up eight tackles in Monday's loss to Green Bay. He was questionable heading into that game due to a hamstring injury, and while the linebacker is generally banged up, he's likely just getting a respite Wednesday after Monday's busy outing.

  • Eight tackles Monday

    Oluokun recorded eight tackles (five solo) across 61 defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Oluokun was questionable heading into the contest as he was dealing with a hamstring injury, but he didn't appear to be slowed down during the game. He tied for the team-lead in tackles and played in 97 percent of the defensive snaps.

    Oluokun (hamstring) will play in Monday's game versus the Packers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun was a limited practice participant all week, but he's made enough progress to suit up in Monday's game. The Yale product has recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) and three forced fumbles over just 64 defensive snaps this season, and he's expected to start at outside linebacker Monday.

  • Restricted in practice

    Oluokun (hamstring) was limited during Friday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun exited during the second quarter of Atlanta's Week 2 loss to the Cowboys because of cramping, and he ultimately proved unable to return to that contest. Prior to last week's loss to the Bears, Oluokun was capable of logging consecutive limited sessions late in the week, but he was deemed inactive for the game. His status again remains up in the air for an upcoming Monday night showdown against the Packers, but he will be afforded the extra day, at least, to heal.

  • Out against Bears

    Oluokun (hamstring) has been listed among Atlanta's inactive players for Sunday's showdown with the Bears.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old linebacker made an incredible impact in the early going against Dallas last week, forcing three fumbles on 18 defensive snaps. Oluokun was forced to exit the game due to cramping, but limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday provided optimism that he may be able to play against Chicago. With this update on his status, the Falcons are left thin at linebacker, and will now have to rely on fourth-round rookie Mykal Walker in a more integral role.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Oluokun (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun logged limited practices Thursday and Friday, so he could miss the first game of his NFL career. The third-year pro exited early in Week 2 after logging 18 defensive snaps, six tackles and three forced fumbles, but he'll likely handle a full workload if he's healthy. If he's forced to sit out, however, expect LaRoy Reynolds to start at outside linebacker.

    Oluokun (hamstring) did not participate during Wednesday's practice session, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Yale product has been impactful in the early going of his third pro campaign, recording six tackles and an onside kick recovery in the season opener against Seattle, as well as six tackles and an incredible three forced fumbles (on 18 defensive snaps) against the Cowboys on Sunday. Oluokun dealt with cramps as Week 2 wore on and had to be removed from the contest, but coach Dan Quinn has since said that he doesn't expect the 25-year-old to be out for an extended time.

    Coach Dan Quinn doesn't believe Oluokun (undisclosed) has a long-term injury, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun apparently left the game due to cramping, and the fact that Quinn reiterated that it wasn't serious is positive news. Wednesday's practice report will be more revealing, but Quinn is expected to provide another update before then.

  • Questionable to return

    Oluokun (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The third-year linebacker made an immediate impact in Week 2 by causing two first-quarter fumbles, including one on his former high school teammate, Ezekiel Elliott. Oluokun was seen loosening up on a stationary bike on the sideline late in the second quarter, but it remains to be seen if he will retake the field to begin the second half.

  • Contributes in multiple areas

    Oluokun collected six total tackles and an onside-kick recovery during Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Oluokun and Younghoe Koo have a magical special-teams rapport working, as the two have collectively accounted for three onside-kick recoveries since Week 13 of last season. The third-year linebacker made his presence felt on the defensive side as well Sunday, collecting six-plus tackles for the second time over his past three regular-season appearances. Oluokun was pivotal in helping contain Seattle's potent rushing attack to just 84 rushing yards, and Week 2 presents another formidable…read more

    Oluokun was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2018 sixth-round pick has gained full clearance after spending just four days on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He's on track to start at outside linebacker for Atlanta when the 2020 season kicks off.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Oluokun (illness) has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons' starting outside linebacker certainly did not have a positive COVID-19 test -- or recent contact with someone who tested positive -- on his wish list, but unfortunately his 25th birthday has been saddled with disappointing news. Oluokun becomes the sixth Atlanta player to land on the reserve/COVID-19 list since in-person player screenings commenced Monday, and he joins Tyeler Davison as the team's two defensive starters to be sidelined thus far.

  • Slated to start in 2020

    Coach Dan Quinn stated that Oluokun is expected to take over as a starting outside linebacker for the Falcons this season, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Given that De'Vondre Campbell signed with Arizona in March, Atlanta now finds itself in search of a new leading tackler. Third-year man Oluokun is up to the task, according to Quinn. Oluokun had a surprisingly productive rookie campaign after joining Atlanta as a sixth-round pick in 2018, making seven starts and ranking second on the team behind Campbell with 91 tackles. His role dropped off considerably in 2019, as he started just three times and played 50-plus percent of the defensive snaps…read more

  • Numbers diminish in 2019

    Oluokun accumulated 56 tackles, two tackles for loss and one forced fumble across 16 appearances for the Falcons this season.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker out of Yale was afforded far less playing time in 2019 compared to 2018, as he never exceeded 55 percent of the defensive snaps in any game and only started three times after last year collecting seven starts as Deion Jones missed 10 weeks with a broken foot. Oluokun saw his tackles count decrease by 35 between 2018 and 2019, and he failed to produce a single QB hit after collecting two as a rookie. Though his defensive contributions waned somewhat, Oluokun played a…read more

    Oluokun recorded six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 24-12 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Oluokun racked up a solid tackle count despite playing just 13 defensive snaps (21 percent), his lowest snap count since Week 8. The 24-year-old is set for his usual rotational role in Atlanta's linebacker corps during Week 17's season finale in Tampa Bay.

    Oluokun (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Oluokun never put in a full practice this week, but the shoulder issue won't end up impacting his status for this weekend. The 24-year-old will serve in his typical role as a rotational linebacker against the Jaguars.

    Oluokun (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun didn't return to Week 15's game against the 49ers after sustaining this injury, but it's a positive sign that he's on the practice field, albeit in a limited capacity, Wednesday. The Falcons only have three other healthy linebackers, so unless they sign another, they don't seem too concerned about Oluokun's status heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

  • Sustains injury Sunday

    Oluokun was forced out of Sunday's game against the 49ers with a shoulder injury, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Oluokun registered a career-high 11 tackles in Week 14's win over the Falcons, but he only notched one tackle before leaving this contest. With Oluokun on the sidelines, the Falcons only have two healthy linebackers, so they may need to deploy safeties Sharrod Neasman or Kemal Ishmael in Oluokun's role.

  • Amasses 11 tackles against Panthers

    Oluokun racked up six solo tackles and five assists during Sunday's 40-20 win against Carolina.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker out of Yale has seen a drastic increase in his defensive snap count over the past month, and he has for the most part provided respectable returns for those participating in IDP formats. He only garnered more than 30 percent of the Falcons' defensive snaps once between Weeks 1 and 8, but over his four most-recent outings coming into Sunday he had commanded 35-plus percent of the defensive workload in each instance. Since Week 10 he has averaged 6.8 tackles per game,…read more

  • Crucial to two onside recoveries

    Oluokun tallied four solo tackles during Thursday's 26-18 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker out of Yale not only finished fourth on his team in tackles, but he also played a key role in each of Atlanta's onside kick recoveries during a furious fourth-quarter rally. Oluokun recovered Younghoe Koo's first onside kick that was offset by a Russell Gage offside penalty, then recovered Koo's second attempt the ensuing play, and 90 seconds later deflected Koo's third onside kick attempt off of Michael Thomas and into the awaiting arms of teammate Kemal Ishmael. He…read more

  • Notches seven tackles

    Oluokun registered six solo tackles and one assisted tackle during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: After a slow start, Oluokun has 15 tackles over his last two games, giving him 30 on the season. The sophomore linebacker is still without a sack or takeaway in 26 career games, making Oluokun a risky play in fantasy most weeks.

  • Team's leading tackler in upset win

    Oluokun registered seven solo tackles and one assisted tackle during Sunday's 26-9 win against the Saints.

    Analysis: Oluokun hasn't produced like the fantasy revelation he seemed to be developing into as a rookie, when he came within three tackles of tying De'Vondre Campbell for the team lead despite only starting seven games. The second-year linebacker out of Yale appeared to benefit from Atlanta's change in defensive play callers over the bye, registering his first start of 2019 and exceeding his previous season high in tackles by four. Week 11 presents an opportunity for Oluokun to potentially generate his…read more
