Career-high 50 tackles in 2023
Onyemata finished 2023 with 50 tackles (25 solo), 4.0 sacks, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles in 14 appearances.
ANALYSIS
After seven years in New Orleans, Onyemata joined the Falcons on a three-year deal last offseason. In his first season with Atlanta, the 2016 fourth-round pick notched career highs in tackles and forced fumbles despite missing three games due to injury. Onyemata likely won't flirt with double-digit sacks, but he's recorded multiple sacks in seven straight seasons, totaling 27 during that stretch. Onyemata figures to remain a key piece of Atlanta's defense over the next two seasons.

With fantasy seasons hanging in the balance, Juan Carlos Blanco breaks down the latest on a very busy Week 16 injury landscape as of Sunday morning.
Juan Carlos Blanco has you covered on the latest Sunday morning Week 15 injury news as the fantasy playoffs kick off in many leagues.
Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane both are questionable, and their numbers might disappoint even if they play given Miami's slew of injury concerns along the offensive line.

2016
Onyemata signed a three-year, $35 million deal with the Falcons this offseason after posting 43 tackles and five sacks in 17 games with the Saints in 2022. The 2016 fourth-round pick - along with fellow offseason acquisitions Calais Campbell and Kaden Elliss - should provide a boost to Atlanta's pass rush, which was lackluster the last two years. The trio of newcomers coupled with Grady Jarrett gives first-year defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen plenty of multi-faceted options to utilize in 2023, but there isn't a clear double-digit sack contender on the roster.
