Miami Dolphins
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ogbah only played more than 50 percent of defensive snaps in one game last season, Miami's regular-season finale against Buffalo. He stands to once again handle a rotational role, but could be leaned on more heavily if Bradley Chubb and/or Jaelan Phillips miss time early in the season due to their respective injuries.

October 25, 2024
Ogbah (biceps) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ogbah practiced in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday, but he upgraded to a full workload Friday, suggesting he's moved past his biceps injury in time for Sunday's contest. Expect the 30-year-old to start opposite Chop Robinson as part of the Dolphins' top edge-rushing duo in Week 8.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
Ogbah is back to full health after playing only nine games last season. He was the Dolphins team sack leader in both 2021 and 2020 with 9.0, so he could thrive with new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
Ogbah signed a two-year prove-it deal with the Dolphins in 2020, and he more than made his case for a long-term gig after serving as the team's sack leader in two straight seasons (9.0 in each). Now playing on a four-year, $65 million deal, Ogbah appears a secure bet to repeat with another top-24 fantasy season.
Ogbah's inaugural season in Miami resulted in a career-high nine sacks, nearly doubling his previous single-season record. The Dolphins defense appears primed to take another step forward in 2021. Since Ogbah remains set for a starting role, he's in good position to log another season of solid production.
As great as Myles Garrett appears, anyone who overlooks Ogbah does so at their own peril. He doesn't have the quickness or flexibility to bend around blockers, but Ogbah sets the edge well and boasts top-shelf explosiveness in a straight line, making him a candidate to collapse the pocket when he catches a split gap. With 4.6 speed and a big wingspan, Ogbah (6-4, 275) figures to enjoy at least a couple seasons with double-digit sacks, especially with Garrett crashing the pocket from the other side.
Ogbah nearly fell to the third round of the 2016 draft, but he's already looking worth the pick for Cleveland. His 2016 stats might not look like much, but it's fine work for a rookie playing 850 snaps. His prospect profile shows untapped upside -- he posted double-digit sacks his last two years in college, and he's an explosive athlete with 4.63 speed at 6-4, 275. With the chance to play something closer to 1,000 snaps in new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' likely 4-3 defense, Ogbah should take the next step as an IDP.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential trade candidate
LBMiami Dolphins
November 3, 2024
Alain Poupart of SI.com believes Ogbah could be moved by the Nov. 5 trade deadline.
ANALYSIS
The Dolphins could be sellers at 2-6, and Ogbah would be a logical player to be moved since he's on a one-year contract. Atlanta or Detroit would be logical landing spots for Ogbah if he's traded, but the Dolphins shouldn't expect more than a late-round draft pick in return.
