2024 Fantasy Outlook
Madubuike's career had been building towards his breakout in 2023, but few could have expected the type of season he had. From the defensive end spot in Baltimore's 3-4 defense, Madubuike racked up 13.0 sacks and two forced fumbles over 726 snaps while adding 38 tackles. It may be difficult to replicate that type of production again - Madubuike had 8.5 career sacks going into 2023 - but he's also entering his prime at age 26. His role and functions should largely remain the same under new defensive coordinator, Zach Orr. Read Past Outlooks
Inks massive extension
Madubuike agreed to a four-year, $98 million deal with the Ravens on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore placed the franchise tag on Madubuike less than a week ago, but the two sides have now come to a long-term extension. According to Schefter, $75.5 million of Madubuike's contract is guaranteed and he received $53.5 million at signing. The 26-year-old defensive lineman is coming off the best season of his career, recording 56 total tackles, including 13.0 sacks, while also forcing two fumbles and receiving second-team All-Pro honors in 2023. Madubuike is now the second-highest paid interior defensive lineman in the NFL with a $24.5 million annual salary, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing offenses for years to come.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
It's a contract year for Madbuike, a 2020 third-rounder who came into his own last season. Madbuike appeared in every game and notched career highs in tackles (42) and sacks (5.5) while also deflecting three passes. With Calais Campbell gone, it will be on Madbuike to hold down the left side of the defensive line. For fantasy purposes, Madbuike offers some sack upside and consistent tackle production for his position.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to get franchise tag
The Ravens are likely to place the franchise tag on Madubuike this offseason, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Madubuike emerged as one of the league's better interior pass rushers this season, racking up 13 total sacks. The team has tried to retain him on a long-term deal with no success, so they may instead turn to a shorter -- but costlier -- option. If tagged, Madubuike would be in line to earn roughly $19 million while almost certainly hitting free agency next offseason.
