Minnesota Vikings
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The grass isn't always greener, but it certainly was for Cashman during his first year in Minnesota. After being stuck in a special team or rotational role in Houston, he played a career-high 850 defensive snaps in 2024 and displayed strong ability as a run defender pass rusher. Per PFF, Cashman had a missed tackle rate below 10 percent for the second consecutive season, and he generated 31 total pressures on only 174 pass-rushing snaps. The Vikings made a few acquisitions to bolster its linebacker corps this offseason, but Cashman's role should be safe in 2025 and he should be a safe bet for 100 stops and a handful of sacks assuming he can stay healthy.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
Cashman had a productive 2023 season in Houston, posting 106 tackles (56 solo) in 14 appearances. He then signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Vikings. He'll start next to Ivan Pace, Jr. as the two interior linebackers. Cashman is better in coverage so he could stay on the field in nickel and dime packages over Pace, but his usage will be worth watching in training camp.
After racking up a respectable 40 tackles in just seven games as a rookie, Cashman was limited to six tackles in four appearances last season while twice being placed on IR due to hamstring injuries. If he can stay healthy, Cashman will compete for a starting linebacker spot with the Jets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to miss several weeks
LBMinnesota Vikings
September 9, 2025
Cashman doesn't yet have a timeline for his return but is expected to miss several games, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Cashman suffered a hamstring injury while trying to chase down Caleb Williams in the third quarter Monday. He is set for an MRI, which will shed further light on the severity of the injury, but the team seems relatively concerned. Eric Wilson took over and played 21 defensive snaps in Cashman's place and should start at linebacker Sunday against the Falcons.
