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.
