2025 Fantasy Outlook
Darrisaw could well miss part of the 2025 campaign while working his way back from ACL and MCL tears suffered Week 8 of 2024, but all by all accounts his recovery has proceeded well. Once he's fully healthy, Darrisaw will start at LT and operate as one of the leaders of a revamped, potentially top-5 offensive line. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $104 million contract with the Vikings in July of 2024.
Hopeful to return this season
Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he's "hopeful" Darrisaw (knee) will retake the field during the final stretch of the regular season, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Connell called Darrisaw's injury "a week-to-week and day-to-day situation," making it difficult to ascertain an expected timetable for the standout left tackle's recovery. Darrisaw managed to play through his knee issue Week 14 but was unable to suit up Week 15 against the Cowboys after logging a DNP/DNP/LP practice slate. If he can't gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Giants, Justin Skule will stand to draw another start.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension seems likely
Darrisaw and the Vikings seem likely to agree to a contract extension, but it may not happen until next offseason, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle will be playing on his rookie deal through 2025 after having his fifth-year option picked up in April, but both sides are interested in having Darrisaw remain in Minnesota for the long haul. The 23rd overall pick in the 2021 Draft also now has Drew Rosenhaus as his agent, and Rosenhaus has an excellent relationship with the Vikings' front office. With no incentive to get a deal done quickly, however, the team will likely make extending Darrisaw a priority after the 2024 campaign.
