Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
Greenard put together a career year in 2023 with 52 tackles (36 solo), 15 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks and a forced fumble with the Texans. He then signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Minnesota. The Vikings will be counting on him as a key pass rusher on the edge and hope he can avoid the injuries that caused him to miss 17 games in his first three seasons.
Greenard was limited to eight games in 2022 due to a calf injury and recorded just 1.5 sacks after leading the Texans the previous season with eight. The addition of Jerry Hughes (nine sacks) helped fill the void, and he's back along with 2023 third-overall pick Will Anderson. Greenard enters the fourth and final year of his rookie deal, and the end should be motivated for his next contract. He or Hughes will start at one end, but the playing time could tilt toward the 26-year-old Greenard, as the 35-year-old Hughes wore down in the second half.
Perhaps it’s not sustainable over a bigger workload, but Greenard was extremely productive on 398 snaps last year, generating eight sacks for a Texans team that was almost always trailing. A foot injury derailed the second half of Greenard’s 2021 season – he posted all eight of his sacks from Week 3 to Week 12, and he might have breezed past double-digit sacks if not for suffering the injury in Week 11.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Remains on Philly's radar
LBMinnesota Vikings
March 23, 2026
Greenard is still a player who would fit a roster need for the Eagles, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia wasn't able to re-sign Jaelen Phillips in free agency, and their only real addition at edge rusher this offseason has been Arnold Ebiketie, who managed just 2.0 sacks in 17 games for the Falcons in 2025. The Eagles could see further development from 2024 third-round pick Jalyx Hunt and 2023 first-round pick Nolan Smith, but Greenard would represent a more significant upgrade. The 28-year-old had only 3.0 sacks himself for the Vikings in 12 games before finishing the season on IR due to a shoulder issue, but Greenard produced 24.5 sacks over 32 regular-season games in 2023-24 between Minnesota and Houston. He's also looking for a new contract, so the Eagles may have to wait until the A.J. Brown situation is resolved before bringing Greenard aboard in a trade.
