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

ANALYSIS
Wilson made his return to Minnesota in 2025 after leaving the team following the 2020 campaign. The linebacker stepped up his production with the Vikings, recording 115 total tackles (60 solo), which was his highest total since 2020, while also notching a career-high 6.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. As a result of the monster year, he has now been rewarded handsomely with a lucrative three-year deal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Wilson signed a contract with the Saints this offseason, and he'll provide depth to the Saints' linebacker unit this season. The veteran spent his first for seasons with the Vikings before playing with both the Eagles and Texans in 2021.
After toiling for three years in relative obscurity in Minnesota, Wilson took advantage of Anthony Barr's season-ending pectoral injury in 2020 and turned it into a 122-tackle campaign. The 26-year-old parlayed the performance into a one-year, $3.25 million deal with the Eagles this offseason, which may portend a starting gig in the fall. Wilson's primary competitor at middle linebacker is T.J. Edwards.
