2024 Fantasy Outlook
Minnesota traded up to take Turner with the 17th overall pick in the 2024 draft. An all-American at Alabama, Turner racked up an SEC-leading 11.0 sacks as a true junior in 2023. Athletically, Turner is rather light for an NFL edge at 246 pounds but his athletic tools (4.46 40, 40.5-inch vertical, 34.38-inch arms) are elite. He'll compete with Andrew Van Ginkel for playing time as an edge rusher in training camp, but could emerge with a large role right away. Read Past Outlooks
Won't face Houston
Turner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Turner was initially listed as day-to-day after injuring his knee last week against San Francisco, but he's going to miss at least one game. The first-round rookie has five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, through his first two career contests. Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel and Pat Jones will get the bulk of the edge-rushing work versus Houston.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Cognizant of Jackson's presence
Turner, who the Vikings selected out of Alabama with the 17th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, said Thursday he constantly feels the presence of recently deceased college and pro teammate Khyree Jackson, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Turner, who is excused from camp Friday to attend Jackson's funeral, played two seasons with the defensive back at Alabama and had been reunited with him in Minnesota's 2024 draft class. Turner has placed Jackson's nameplate above his own in his locker and plans to constantly keep his fallen teammate in his memory as the edge rusher goes through his rookie season. "He helped me realize who I was, and he helped me build my confidence off the field and on the field in a way," Turner said. "But he was definitely a very impactful person."
