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. Giants exercised $14.75 million team option for 2026 in April of 2025.
Done for season
The Giants placed Thibodeaux (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Thibodeaux will miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to a shoulder injury he initially sustained in Week 10. With Thibodeaux sidelined for New York's final three games, rookie first-round pick Abdul Carter will continue handling a starting role alongside Brian Burns. Thibodeaux finishes his fourth NFL season with 25 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two pass breakups over 10 appearances.

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
High chance of being traded
Thibodeaux has a better-than-average chance of being traded this offseason, Dan Graziano and Ben Solak of ESPN.com opine.
ANALYSIS
Thibodeaux came into the league as the 2022 fifth overall pick with no shortage of lofty expectations, but injuries and inconsistent play have led to the Oregon product falling short overall. Graziano points out the Giants already have a well-stocked cupboard on the defensive front led by Brian Burns and Abdul Carter, and Solak notes despite Thibodeaux's down-to-down struggles, he could come to life during what would be a contract year in 2026.
