Vikings DL Javon Hargrave (chest) is officially listed as questionable to return Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Hargrave has been a big part of the Vikings' defense so far this season. If he is unable to return, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins will likely see an increase in playing time on the Vikings' defensive line.

Javon Hargrave to be released at start of new league year

The San Francisco 49ers plan to release DT Javon Hargrave at the start of the league's new year, setting him up to be a free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Hargrave joins a free agent DT class that has players who could be impactful but don't have name brands, so while Hargrave struggled with injury in 2024 (career-low defensive grade of 60.6 before triceps tear), he could certainly catch attention given his past performance (three straight seasons of 7.5+ sacks).
