2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 second-round pick, Orhorhoro played only eight games as a rookie and missed time on IR. He didn't see the field in any capacity to start the year but carved out a role in Week 5, appearing in four contests before sustaining an ankle injury. He logged his highest snap counts of the year in the Falcons' final three games of 2024 and will face a huge opportunity in Year 2 after the departure of Grady Jarrett. Orhorhoro is slated to start at nose tackle, with Morgan Fox and David Onyemata also on the D-line, but Zach Harrison, Ta'Quon Graham and Kentavius Street should remain consistently involved. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $9.92 million contract with the Falcons in May of 2024.
More snaps in second season
Orhorhoro played in all 17 games for the Falcons in 2025 and finished with 25 tackles (12 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defense.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 second-rounder out of Clemson operated in a rotational role in his rookie season. Orhorhoro saw an expanded role on defense in his sophomore campaign, starting in eight of the Falcons' final 12 games of the season while forming a young defensive front with rookie first-rounders Jalon Walker and James Pearce. Orhorhoro should see prominent playing time in 2026 as the anchor to the Falcons' defensive front.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 35th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Orhorhoro didn't play football until his junior year of high school and spent five years at Clemson, where it took him a few years to get playing time. Over his final three collegiate campaigns, Orhorhoro totaled 84 tackles, including 24 for loss and 11.5 sacks, nine pass defenses and two forced fumbles across 39 games. At 6-4 and 294 pounds, Orhorhoro still needs to add some weight and develop his technique, but he could be thrust into an expanded role as a rookie if Grady Jarrett isn't 100 percent healthy following a torn ACL in 2023.
