The source gives Andrew Van Ginkel an up arrow based on the prospect of him not missing as much time as he did last season, when he missed five games and most of a sixth with a neck injury. Van Ginkel was selected 88th in the players' top 100 rankings last season—the first time he made the top 100 despite it not being his best statistical year, in part due to missed time. He brings rare ability to read plays and versatility to make plays as a run defender, pass rusher, and in coverage, making him a key player in Brian Flores' scheme. At age 31 in the last year of his contract, the source would not be surprised if the Vikings extended him, as his style of play may lend itself to a longer career.

Elite edge rusher who ranked #1 at the position in 2024 with 50 tackles, 11.5 sacks, 3 turnovers, 6 passes defended, and 2 scores—a wide margin over T.J. Watt (second). After early-season injury in 2025, Van Ginkel was not fully healthy until week 10, posting 28 tackles, 26 pressures, 7 sacks, and 3 turnovers for just under 12 points per game, ranking 4th at edge position. The source notes he remains one of fantasy's most underrated players due to early-career underutilization in Miami; now healthy heading into camp with solid ED1 ranking and top-5 potential.
