2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson played all 17 regular-season games with the Packers in 2024 (12 starts), and he now reunites with the Vikings, where he began his NFL career and played from 2017-20. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores' scheme seems like an ideal fit to maximize Wilson's talents, though Blake Cashman and Ivan Pace will be the favorites to open 2025 as the starters at inside linebacker. Even in a rotational role, though, Wilson could be capable of underrated production totals. Read Past Outlooks

Signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Vikings in March of 2025.
Likely to start in place of Cashman
Wilson is expected to step into a starting role at inside linebacker Sunday versus the Falcons, with Blake Cashman (hamstring) in line to miss time, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was productive off the bench Week 1 against the Bears, racking up five total tackles, a tackle for a loss and a QB hurry while playing 25 of 67 defensive snaps after Cashman's early exit. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Cashman is expected to miss time, positioning Wilson to start in Sunday Night Football versus Atlanta in Week 2, and potentially longer.
