2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lawrence was limited to 12 games in 2024 due to a dislocated elbow, but that didn't stop him from maintaining his status as one of the top interior defensive linemen in the league. Despite the limited snaps, he finished tied for 11th in total run stuffs with 25 (per PFF) while logging a career-high nine sacks. The latter could be in jeopardy to dip in 2025 by looking at just his pressure rate and total quarterback hits, but the Giants have built an impressive front on their defense, particularly with the addition of Abdul Carter and Brian Burns in the last two years. Offenses won't be able to focus exclusively on Lawrence as a result, meaning there's a convergence of talent and circumstance that should allow him to deliver another excellent fantasy campaign.

Signed a four-year, $87.5 million contract with the Giants in May of 2023.
Incentives added to contract
The Giants added $3 million in incentives to Lawrence's (elbow) current contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence is set to make $17 million this season in addition to the added incentives, and the 2019 first-rounder is under contract with the Giants through 2027. Despite missing the final five games of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated left elbow, Lawrence still managed to log a career-high 9.0 sacks through 12 games.

The Giants gave Lawrence a four-year, $90 million contract prior to last season and were rewarded with another All-Pro and Pro Bowl campaign from the 340-pound nose tackle. He doesn't quite rack up sacks - he had 4.5 last season and 7.5 the year prior - but he consistently uses his immense power and surprising agility to overwhelm the interior of opposing offensive lines. Lawrence has emerged as one of the truly elite defensive linemen in the game and should continue to cement that status for years to come.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Viewed as league's best DT
Lawrence was ranked the league's best defensive tackle based on votes from a combination of NFL executives, scouts and coaches, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence took his game to the next level in 2024, maintaining his stellar run-stuffing ability while flashing improved pass-rushing skills with 9.0 sacks. That production came in just 12 games prior to a season-ending injury and despite Lawrence being double-teamed the most of any interior defensive lineman in the NFL at 74.5 percent. Once he recovers from the elbow injury, Lawrence's presence on the interior will anchor a talented Giants pass rush that added rookie third overall pick Abdul Carter to Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux.
