2025 Fantasy Outlook
Oliver played 14 regular-season games in 2024 but finished the year with just 29 tackles (14.0 solo), including 3.0 sacks, plus three forced fumbles - a notable step down after he tallied 51 tackles, including 9.5 sacks, in 16 regular-season contests back in 2023. DaQuan Jones also regressed in 2024, leaving Buffalo's interior pass rush lacking. Oliver remains locked into a key starting role for Buffalo heading into his age-28 season, with two years remaining on his contract, but expectations for his production should be tempered.

Exits with knee injury
Oliver exited Saturday's game versus the Broncos with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Oliver tore his biceps earlier this season and subsequently underwent surgery in December to repair the meniscus in his knee, and this was his first game action since Week 8. It's unclear if this knee injury is an aggravation or a new injury altogether, but the Bills' run defense takes a step back without his presence.

Oliver's fifth year in the league was easily his best, as the 2019 first-rounder set career highs for tackles (51), sacks (9.5), and tackles for loss (14). Looking ahead, the 26-year-old Oliver and fellow interior lineman DaQuan Jones will continue to lead one of the stronger units on the Bills, and if your league forces you to have a spot for both defensive ends and tackles, Oliver is one of the league's better IDP choices for the latter slot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be back for divisional round
Oliver is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened soon, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle has been sidelined since Week 8 due to both a torn bicep and knee surgery, and his absence has left a huge hole in Buffalo's run defense. Oliver might be a long shot to return for a divisional-round clash against the Broncos on Saturday given how long he's been out, but the Bills will take all the help they can get on the road against the AFC's top seed.
