26-Year-Old Defensive TackleDT
Buffalo Bills
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Oliver (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Oliver upgraded from limited work Wednesday and Thursday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his hamstring issue. Expect Oliver to start alongside DaQuan Jones as part of the Bills' top interior defensive line duo in Week 7.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
2019
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.
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.
Oliver was the ninth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Like many rookie first-rounders, he was inconsistent but showed flashes of brilliance. On Thanksgiving Day in Dallas, Oliver sacked Dak Prescott twice and forced a fumble that the Bills recovered. Five sacks and 43 tackles is something for the big man to build upon in year two, though he could be starting the season with a suspension following a recent arrest on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon.
Oliver, who looks like a draft-day steal after the Bills snagged him ninth overall this past April, isn't a towering defensive line presence at just 6-foot-2, 287 pounds, but he's an exceptional athlete who was extremely productive in college. As a rookie, Oliver will look to win a starting defensive tackle job right away. Star Lotulelei is the plugger on the Buffalo line, while Oliver is expected to beat out Harrison and Jordan Phillips to earn the majority of the time as the other starter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Room for improvement in game sense
DTBuffalo Bills
June 25, 2023
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.
