Career-high 11.5 sacks in 2024
Van Ginkel finished the 2024 season with 79 tackles (50 solo), including 11.5 sacks, six pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season contests.
ANALYSIS
After playing for Vikings DC Brian Flores previously with the Dolphins, Van Ginkel signed a two-year, $20 million deal with Minnesota last offseason and answered with a career year. His 11.5 sacks tied T.J. Watt for eighth-most in the league and nearly doubled Van Ginkel's previous career best of 6.0 from 2023. Van Ginkel also returned both of his interceptions for touchdowns, leading the league in pick-sixes despite being an edge rusher. It all earned Van Ginkel his first Pro Bowl nomination and second-team All-Pro honors. Van Ginkel turns 30 years old in July and should again be a prominent playmaker off the edge for Minnesota next season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get extension
Van Ginkel is a candidate to get a contract extension from the Vikings this offseason, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old edge rusher put together a career-best campaign in 2024 during his first season with Minnesota, racking up 79 tackles, including 11.5 sacks, while also returning two interceptions for touchdowns while playing in all 17 regular-season games. Van Ginkel has one year left on his current deal, and an extension might be used to lower his $12.4 million cap hit for 2025 while providing him with extra security.
