Coming off best season
Oliver finished the 2023 regular season with 51 tackle (including 9.5 sacks), three passes defensed and one interception in 16 games.
ANALYSIS
All of those figures were a career high or tied for a career high for the 2019 first-rounder, while the 9.5 sacks were particularly noteworthy considering he is an interior lineman. Oliver and DaQuan Jones will continue to lead one of the stronger units on the team. The Bills did lose quite a bit of depth in the offseason and will probably draft a defensive lineman this weekend, but no one will enter the fray to meddle with Oliver's projected playing time, plus the Bills need a wide receiver (or two) more than any other position. If your league forces you to have a spot for both defensive ends and tackles, Oliver is one of the league's better IDP choices for the latter slot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Room for improvement in game sense
Defensive line coach Eric Washington believes Oliver has yet to play up to his potential, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News.
ANALYSIS
Washington would like to see Oliver improve in the mental aspects of the game and start playing from ahead. Better pre-game preparation and film study could help Buffalo's 2019 first-round pick take a step forward, though Oliver has already done enough to earn a four-year, $68 million extension earlier this offseason despite posting a career-low 2.5 sacks in 2022.
