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.

January 20, 2025

Cashman finished the 2024 season with 112 tackles (68 solo), including 4.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season contests.

ANALYSIS
After starting just eight games from 2019-22 with the Jets and Texans, Cashman started 13 games for the 2023 Texans and set a career high with 106 tackles. He then landed a three-year, $22.5 million deal in free agency from Minnesota and went on to set new career bests across the board, making 14 starts, despite missing three games with a toe injury. Cashman recorded double-digit tackles six times, including in the wild-card playoff loss to the Rams. Cashman should again be an every-down linebacker and tackles machine in 2025 under ultra-aggressive defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

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.
