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.

Active for Week 9
Van Ginkel (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Van Ginkel has missed the past four games due to a neck injury, but he practiced in full during Week 9 prep and will return to action for a divisional showdown in Detroit. The star pass rusher recorded 2.0 sacks in limited action during Week 3 against the Bengals before being knocked out of the contest, and he was a menace last season, notching 11.5 sacks, two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Van Ginkel also has four career defensive touchdowns, two of which came in 2024.

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.
