Andrew Van Ginkel

29-Year-Old LinebackerLB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Van Ginkel recorded a career-high six sacks among 69 total tackles along with eight passes defensed, including an interception last season in Miami. He should step right into a starting role on the strong side of Minnesota's linebacker corps after signing a two-year, $20 million contract. He'll be counted on as an impact edge rusher but could face competition for snaps from first-round pick Dallas Turner. Read Past Outlooks

Van Ginkel re-signed with the Dolphins, keeping him in house for a fifth straight season. He hasn't missed a regular-season game for Miami in the last three years, having made a name for himself as a versatile rotational option on defense.
Van Ginkel notched a respectable 5.5 sacks in his sophomore season, and he could again linger around 50 percent of defensive snaps per game Year 3.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May have better chance of return
LBMiami Dolphins
February 23, 2024
Van Ginkel, a pending unrestricted free agent, may have a better chance of being re-signed by the Dolphins in the wake of the team's release of Emmanuel Ogbah on Friday, as reported by Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Van Ginkel has now fully played out the four-year deal he inked as a fifth-round rookie in 2019, plus a one-contract he signed last offseason. The linebacker, who recorded 69 tackles, including a career-high six sacks, during his third straight 17-game season in 2023, figures to garner a solid amount of interest if he hits the open market. However, with Ogbah's release both creating nearly $14 million in cap room and lightening the positional depth chart, Van Ginkel's chances of being brought back to Miami have ostensibly risen.
