2023 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez-Roches played in every game for the Buccaneers last season, making 10 starts and notching two sacks among his 33 tackles. The Giants signed the veteran in the offseason to improve their depth along the defensive line. Nunez-Roches should help spell Dexter Lawrence, who played on a whopping 82 percent of the team's defensive snaps last season. Nunez-Roches is solid against the run but isn't much of a pass rusher and is unlikely to be an IDP asset. Read Past Outlooks
Posts 26 stops over 16 games
Nunez-Roches recorded 26 tackles (14 solo), including a half-sack, over 16 contests during the 2023 campaign.
ANALYSIS
Nunez-Roches was brought in during the offseason to serve as veteran depth along New York's defensive line. He filled that role as expected, notching the second-highest tackle total of his nine-year career while missing just one game. Durability has been a strength of Nunez-Roches' -- he's missed just two regular-season contests over the past five campaigns -- but he's not much of a pass-rusher and isn't looked to as a difference-maker on defense. His contract goes through 2025, and it's likely he'll be back with the Giants as a rotational run-stopper next year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2017
2015
Nunez-Roches enters his third seasons with the Chiefs following a 2016 campaign that resulted in 23 tackles (14 solo) and his first career sack while starting five games and appearing in 11. However, his playing time was aided by a season-ending shoulder injury to Allen Bailey. Should the three starters on the defensive line remain healthy throughout the regular season, a slight regression should be anticipated.
