Quick Facts

  • Team: MIN (Minnesota Vikings)
  • Notable: Back-to-back 100+ tackle seasons

2026 Outlook

Blake Cashman has eclipsed 100 combined tackles in each of the last three seasons. In 2025, he posted a career-high 144 tackles in just 13 games, which ranked ninth in the NFL—his per-game rate projects to nearly 188 tackles over a full schedule. He wears the green dot (defensive signal caller role) in Brian Flores' defense and plays nearly every snap when active. His tackling grade improved to 83.4 last season, and he added value as a blitzer with 19 pressures and a pair of sacks, making him a top-five IDP linebacker when healthy (per Fantasy football IDP LB rankings & tiers: Boosting Cedric Gray).

The primary risk to Cashman's 2026 fantasy value is health: he has missed at least three games in five of his last six seasons. When he plays, he produces top-five numbers.
