Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2017
2015
Nunez-Roches began last season in a rotational role for New York but ended up playing over half of the team's defensive snaps in five of his eight contests after Leonard Williams was traded to Seattle in October. Though Nunez-Roches finished with the second-highest tackle total (26) of his nine-year NFL career, his production registered as hardly a ripple from an IDP perspective, especially since he notched only a half-sack. Nunez-Roches should get an opportunity to log significant snaps again in 2024, but his career body of work suggests his statistical output will likely remain tepid.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be cut loose
Nunez-Roches could be released by the Giants this offseason to free up cap space, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive lineman signed a three-year deal with New York ahead of the 2023 season, but Nunez-Roches hasn't been an effective run-stuffing complement to Dexter Lawrence in the trenches. Cutting the 31-year-old Nunez-Roches this offseason would create about $3.6 million in cap space, but it would leave the Giants' defensive line even thinner.
