2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thibodeaux's 2024 campaign was by some measures a disappointment following his breakthrough 2023 season. The edge rusher's sack total fell from 11.5 to 5.5, and he missed five contests due to a wrist injury. The Giants bolstered their edge-rush unit during the offseason by signing veteran Chauncey Golston and drafting Abdul Carter, which could lead to less snaps for Thibodeaux. That said, the additions should also provide better matchups for Thibodeaux, so a big sack total is certainly possible. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $31.34 million contract with the Giants in May of 2022.
Logs sack versus Chargers
Thibodeaux recorded two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during the Giants' win over the Chargers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Thibodeaux was one of two Giants defenders, along with Brian Burns, to bring down Justin Herbert during the victory. The defensive lineman is now up to 2.5 sacks on the year, and he will look to build on Sunday's strong performance in the team's Week 5 contest versus the Saints.

2022
In his sophomore campaign, Thibodeaux fulfilled the promise the Giants saw in him when they drafted him fifth overall in 2022, as he tied for 12th in the NFL with 11.5 sacks. He did sputter out a bit late in the campaign - he had only a half sack over five games following the team's Week 13 bye - but the overall picture he painted was of a potentially dominant pass rusher for years to come. New York's addition of Brian Burns via trade in the offseason should improve Thibodeaux's outlook further, as opponents will have a harder time double-teaming him with Burns now in the fold.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Viable trade candidate?
The Giants would do well to trade Thibodeaux before the start of the regular season, Aaron Schatz of ESPN.com opines.
ANALYSIS
Schatz begins to make his case by noting New York now has three starting-quality edge rushers after the addition of third overall pick Abdul Carter in April's draft alongside Brian Burns and Thibodeaux. He adds that Thibodeaux will be due for an extension after the coming season, but a likely impasse looms considering the Giants won't want to pay the going rate for premium edge rushers if the 2022 first-round pick spends the campaign in a rotational role. As such, the best course of action for New York could be potentially garnering a Day 2 pick from a contender for Thibodeaux, who has 126 total tackles, including 21.0 sacks, 11 defensed passes, six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across his first 43 career regular-season games.
