Expert Note
View More NotesAndrew Van Ginkel stepped up in Week 8, tallying two solos, two assists, 2.5 sacks, and two tackles for loss. AVG is now up to 6.5 sacks on the season, with at least a half sack in five of his seven games. Van Ginkel had three spike weeks under his belt prior to this splash week and checks in as the DL6 in fppg through eight weeks of action. Fire the veteran edge rusher up as a top-20 option as long as he is cooking, including this week against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.
Player News

Fantasy Impact
The veteran defender should be good to go for Week 3, as he is now off of the injury report after dealing with a chest issue for a little while. His presence is important for a Minnesota defense that has looked very strong through the first two weeks of the season.
