2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Headed to IR
The Giants will place Thibodeaux (wrist) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This move was not unexpected, as Thibodeaux's wrist injury -- a breaking of the scaphoid bone -- has a return timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. The third-year pass rusher will need to miss at least New York's next four games, so his earliest possible return date will be Nov. 10 for a contest against Carolina. Azeez Ojulari will likely take over in a pass-rushing starting role for as long as Thibodeaux remains sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Thibodeaux didn't rack up sacks like some expected him to in his rookie campaign, but he still demonstrated the ability to be a dominant NFL defender. The fifth overall pick in the 2022 Draft logged a modest four sacks, but he also registered 40 pressures, 25 hurries and five batted passes along with 49 tackles. Thibodeaux is unquestionably a big part of the Giants' future, and he'll be given every opportunity to grow into an elite pass rusher. He'll likely become even more of an IDP asset in fantasy as he further learns the intricacies of the NFL game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Breakout season coming?
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com suggests Thibodeaux could enjoy a breakout season in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Thibodeaux already put himself firmly on the NFL radar in his second season, posting 11.5 sacks and three forced fumbles while also recording a fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games in 2023. However, Brooks believes the Oregon product could take another step forward this coming campaign while playing alongside offseason addition Brian Burns and second-team All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. Brooks predicts both will absorb plenty of blockers.
