2025 Fantasy Outlook
Van Ginkel inked a sizable one-year, $23 million extension with Minnesota after his tremendous debut campaign with the team. Across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024, Van Ginkel racked up 79 tackles, including a career-high 11.5 sacks, and six pass breakups, including two INTs, both of which were pick-sixes. He also had one forced fumble. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores' scheme is a perfect fit for Van Ginkel's playmaking abilities, and he figures to repeat as one of the league's most disruptive linebackers in 2025.

Signed a one-year, $23 million contract with the Vikings in April of 2025.
Missing Week 2
Van Ginkel (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Van Ginkel has yet to practice this week after being placed in concussion protocol Wednesday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined in Week 2. The All-Pro edge rusher was impactful in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears, recording five total tackles and two passes defended across 58 defensive snaps. With the Wisconsin product sidelined, 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner projects to start opposite Jonathan Greenard on Sunday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Van Ginkel recorded a career-high six sacks among 69 total tackles along with eight passes defensed, including an interception last season in Miami. He should step right into a starting role on the strong side of Minnesota's linebacker corps after signing a two-year, $20 million contract. He'll be counted on as an impact edge rusher but could face competition for snaps from first-round pick Dallas Turner.
