Jonathan Greenard lands at No. 48 on NFL.com’s top-100 list, voted by players, as the Gator-turned-Vikings edge continues its ascent. After signing a four-year deal in Minnesota, he burst onto the scene with QB-hunting pop, four forced turnovers, and 12 sacks across 17 games. The performance earned him his first Pro Bowl nod and cemented him as a key piece of a turnover-happy defense.

Vikings coaches tout his closing speed and ability to win solo or with help from teammates, while Greenard emphasizes humility and daily learning, adding new counters each year to keep opponents guessing. With offseason departures on defense, his role figures to grow, placing him firmly on fantasy radars for sacks and disruptive plays.

From a fantasy lens, Greenard’s sack upside looks readily investable, even if volume hinges on Minnesota’s overall health and game plan. He’s not just a one-off breakout; he’s a stable source of pressure with weekly DL1-week-to-week upside in favorable matchups.
