Week 14 IDL and Edge Streaming Options

Edge Azeez Ojulari, New York Giants

Matchup: Philadelphia Eagles - Ranked 1st in Matt Bitonti's Rankings

Ojulari looked great in his first game back returning from IR. He finished with a sack and seven pressures while staying on the field for 58% of the team's snaps. In three games this season, he has 10 pressures and two sacks. Ojulari is an incredibly explosive player off the edge. Here are his seven pressures from Sunday.

He takes on the Eagles for Week 14. The Eagles are one of the best offensive lines in football, though are susceptible to allowing sacks with Hurts' high rushing floor. The Giants will need Ojulari's athleticism to help contain Hurts.

Edge George Karlaftis, Kansas City Chiefs

Matchup: Denver Broncos - Ranked 21st in Matt Bitonti's Rankings

Karlaftis has really turned it up in the past two games. He has a sack in consecutive weeks now and seems to be hitting his stride. Karlaftis earned a 69.5 average pass-rush grade over those two weeks. He is not an elite athlete, but Karlaftis is technically refined. Watch his snap timing here as he knifes into the backfield.

Karlaftis gets the Broncos in Week 14. The Broncos are one of the biggest disappointments of 2022, and their offensive line is partly to blame. They have allowed the fourth-most sacks in the NFL with 38. Karlaftis could get a sack for his third consecutive week.

IDL Bilal Nichols, Las Vegas Raiders

Matchup: Los Angeles Rams - Ranked 31st in Matt Bitonti's Rankings

Nichols has looked great recently. He has a pass-rush grade of 68.8 over his last three games. During that span, he has posted 12 tackles, one sack, and 10 pressures. Watch his dominant bull rush here.

Nichols and the Raiders take on a disheveled Rams team. The Rams have allowed the third-most sacks in the NFL with 42. Whoever starts for the Rams will likely have Nichols in their face all day.
