Van Ginkel entering concussion protocol dilutes Vikings’ LB depth; the team will monitor through short week, potentially elevating backups and affecting special-teams work.

Van Ginkel’s versatile edge presence could be a catalyst for a flexible four-man rush that masks coverage and challenges Chicago’s blockers. His ability to slip inside on pass downs and pair with Turner and Ginkel’s peers provides Minnesota with multiple pressure angles and the chance to disrupt Chicago’s timing.

Van Ginkel earns playmaking nods for his ability to change games via havoc and turnovers, a highlighted pick in the defensive rotation that ESPN includes in its voting despite not appearing on top-100 lists.

Van Ginkel teams with Greenard to form Minnesota’s aggressive edge pair. His ability to pressure and contain the edge will test Chicago’s quarterback time and could lead to hurried looks that boost sack potential and forced errors for fantasy managers.

Van Ginkel’s Top 100 placement (No. 88) underscores his continued NFL relevance with the Vikings. His speed and edge flashes could translate into reliable DFS weeks and occasional big plays, depending on how Minnesota deploys him on early downs and sub-packages.
