2025 Fantasy Outlook
Okuayinonu carved out a decent role with San Francisco in 2024 while filling in for injured rotation pieces. The Maryland product recorded 35 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble across 16 games (432 defensive snaps). The 27-year-old's solid play earned him another one-year contract with the 49ers, with whom he likely will serve a similar depth role behind Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams and Bryce Huff.

Set to miss Week 13
Okuayinonu (ankle) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Okuayinonu suffered an ankle injury in the team's 20-9 victory over the Panthers on Monday Night Football, and he is now set to "miss a couple weeks," according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. With the 49ers set to be idle in Week 14, it's possible that the defensive lineman's absence is limited to just one game. In the meantime, Robert Beal (concussion), Keion White and Clelin Ferrell are candidates to step into a starting role on San Francisco's defensive line against the Browns on Sunday.
