Season-high 16 tackles Sunday Oluokun recorded 16 tackles (10 solo) during Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Oluokun has registered 29 tackles over his last two contests and has 77 total tackles through the Falcons' first seven games of the season. The 26-year-old's tackling production makes him a top-tier IDP option moving forward. He will likely have another advantageous matchup in Week 9 when the Falcons face the Saints, which will have to rely on Alvin Kamara and their run game after losing Jameis Winston to an ACL injury.

Gets back on track verus Miami Oluokun made 13 tackles (eight solo) and picked off a pass during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Oluokun struggled during the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Jets, but he returned to form after the bye week, registering his third double-digit tackle outing of the season. The 26-year-old also recorded his first inception of the year and nearly had a touchdown, as he returned the pick 56 yards to Miami's 14-yard line. Oluokun remains a very reliable IDP option moving forward.

Production falters overseas Oluokun had five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's win over the Jets.

Impact Oluokun managed 43 tackles across the first four weeks of the season, so fantasy managers were doubtless disappointed with his meager production versus New York. Nonetheless, the inside linebacker has handled 100 percent of defensive snaps on the year, so he remains a high-floor IDP option. After a Week 6 bye, Oluokun will travel to Miami.

Stacks up 14 tackles Oluokun posted 14 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants.

Impact Oluokun was busy once again, as he has now produced 31 tackles (17 solo) through three games, leading fellow linebacker Deion Jones by three stops. Last season, Oluokun wasn't a full-time player but still managed 117 tackles, and he would shatter that mark at his current pace. It's certainly possible, especially if Atlanta's offense can't turn things around.

Tallies nine stops Oluokun posted nine tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Oluokun has piled up 17 tackles through the first two games, leading the team in the category. He's a high-end IDP option after producing 117 tackles last year, and his upside could rise if the Falcons' offense can't turn things around, as opponents would shift to a run-heavy approach late in games.

Strong start to 2021 Oluokun posted eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Eagles.

Registers seven stops in finale Oluokun collected seven tackles (four solo) and one QB hit during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Oluokun was a late addition to the NFC's Pro Bowl ballot, and one has to wonder why the 25-year-old wasn't included sooner. Though Oluokun ultimately was not given the nod for the annual distinction, he did break out with a career season consisting of a team-high 117 tackles, three sacks, four forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a pair of interceptions. The Falcons may have found a defensive cornerstone in the Yale standout, who blossomed into an all-around contributor during his first full season as a starter. The 2018 sixth-round pick enters his final year under contract as the Falcons ready to usher in a new general manager.

Impact The Yale product has generated seven QB hits and three sacks in his past five games after failing to reach the quarterback a single time over the first eight weeks of 2020. His tackle totals remain impressive game-to-game, as Oluokun has posted double-digit tackles in consecutive contests, notching four such performances on the entire year. The 25-year-old's 97 tackles and four forced fumbles represent team highs as the Falcons prepare for a Week 15 matchup against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
