2023 Fantasy Outlook
This will be Oliver's fifth season in Buffalo after being selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft. He's coming off a mediocre season where he had 2.5 sacks and 34 tackles, but those came in just 13 games. Read Past Outlooks

Records first career INT in win
Oliver had two solo tackles, including one sack, and an interception in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Oliver picked off Bailey Zappe on the Patriots' first drive of the game that led to a Bills field goal four plays later. He followed up his first career INT with a sack on Zappe for an eight-yard loss that led to a New England punt on the next play. Oliver has a career-high 9.5 sacks this season -- which is the same amount he accumulated over the previous three seasons combined -- and will look to hit double digits for the first time in his five-year career in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Room for improvement in game sense
Defensive line coach Eric Washington believes Oliver has yet to play up to his potential, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News.
ANALYSIS
Washington would like to see Oliver improve in the mental aspects of the game and start playing from ahead. Better pre-game preparation and film study could help Buffalo's 2019 first-round pick take a step forward, though Oliver has already done enough to earn a four-year, $68 million extension earlier this offseason despite posting a career-low 2.5 sacks in 2022.

2019
If motor were the only metric in question, Oliver would be a high-ranking IDP option. His IDP utility has lagged to this point, though, both due to low snap counts and meager tackle production. If Oliver takes a step forward in 2021 it will probably be thanks to his pass-rushing potential, where he may yet turn into a double-digit sack threat. The Bills should face a lot of pass attempts as teams try to keep up with the Josh Allen-led offense, and Oliver’s explosiveness (4.73 40, 36-inch vertical) makes him dangerous in that phase of the game.
