2024 first-round pick (17th overall) delivered a breakout 2025 season with 66 tackles, 8 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and ranked 14th among edge defenders. The 23-year-old possesses elite athleticism—blazing speed, high explosiveness, and strong upfield burst—backed by strong college production (53 tackles, 10 sacks, 2 forced fumbles as Alabama junior in 2023). With Greenard's departure, Turner now has a clear path to the starting lineup. The source projects him as a perennial top-12 edge defender starting this year with barely scratched surface potential.

70% of poll respondents expect Turner to lead the Vikings in sacks this season. The source views him as 'the easy choice' given the trade of Jonathan Greenard, which means Turner will finally get full-time snaps at outside linebacker after being stuck behind Greenard and Van Ginkel as a rookie. Turner showed last year he's 'finally starting to get things figured out in Brian Flores' defense,' and with a couple of seasons under his belt and an opportunity waiting, he's positioned to justify the Vikings' draft investment in moving up for him in 2024.

Minnesota edge-rusher Turner finished 18th in fantasy points among defensive linemen last season with 66 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and eight sacks in just 702 snaps. Now locked in as a full-time player opposite Andrew Van Ginkel after the Vikings traded Jonathan Greenard to Philadelphia, Turner is poised for increased snap count. Former teammate Greenard endorsed Turner on The Green Light podcast, saying 'When he's on and he's dialed in on the game plan, the kid is a bottle of explosion' and 'He's gonna take this big, big step.' With increased snap count and per-snap production maintained, Turner could be one of the biggest IDP bargains up front in 2026.
