    Van Ginkel has tallied back-to-back games with seven total tackles each, and in Week 7 versus the Lions his count included 2.0 sacks and one forced fumble. The veteran linebacker's playmaking ability makes him a high-upside IDP fantasy option, and he faces three upcoming favorable matchups against the Colts, Jaguars and Titans.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Leads Minnesota in tackles Sunday

    Van Ginkel recorded six total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

    Van Ginkel played a major role in the Vikings' statement performance in Week 3, holding a high-powered Texans offense to just seven points. He was one of three Vikings to sack C.J. Stroud during Sunday's contest, while also leading the team in total tackles. Van Ginkel, a first-year Viking, appears to be fitting into defensive coordinator Brian Flores' scheme well through his first three games, and he's expected to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Full practice participant Thursday

    Van Ginkel (foot) practiced in full Thursday.

    Van Ginkel opened the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but he was able to go through drills without restrictions Thursday.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Limited Wednesday

    Van Ginkel (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Van Ginkel played through his foot issue in the Vikings' Week 2 win over the 49ers, so his limited participation Wednesday is likely precautionary. However, if the Wisconsin product's injury is too much to overcome in Week 3, expect Dallas Turner (knee) and Pat Jones to see increased snaps on Minnesota's first-team defense.

  • Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Dealing with foot injury

    Van Ginkel (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Van Ginkel was all over the field during his Vikings debut in Week 1, but it now appears he could be in jeopardy of missing time due to a foot injury. The Wisconsin product's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether Van Ginkel will be able to suit up in Week 2. If he remains hindered by this foot issue throughout the week, expect 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner to see increased work with the Vikings' first-team defense.
