Bynum recorded 137 total tackles and nine pass deflections, including two interceptions in 17 games for the Vikings in the 2023 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum's productivity increased tremendously in his second season as a starter on the Vikings' defense, ranking first on the team in total tackles and second in both pass deflections and interceptions. The third-year pro's rookie contract will keep him in Minnesota through the 2024 season, but Bynum could very well see his contract extended after his 2023 campaign. Expect the 25-year-old to try and add another productive season to his resume in 2024.

Bynum finished Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Packers with 10 tackles (five solo).

EDGE Analysis

Bynum reached double-digit tackles for the fourth time this season. Sunday's game was the first time this season that he did not play every single defensive snap, but he still managed to finish second on the team in tackles behind Ivan Pace. Bynum has a career-high and team-leading 130 tackles over 16 games this season.

Bynum recorded eight tackles (six solo) and forced two fumbles in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum tied for third on Minnesota in stops in the defeat, reaching eight tackles for the fourth time over his past five games. The third-year safety also forced a pair of fumbles, the latter of which was recovered by the Vikings for a turnover. Through 15 games, Bynum has tallied a career-high 120 stops (85 solo) along with a pair of interceptions and 0.5 sacks.

Bynum had seven tackles (six solo) including 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

He also had two pass deflections on the day and played a large part in limiting Jordan Love and the Packers to 196 net passing yards. Bynum leads the Vikings' defense with 76 tackles on the year and is only five short of the 81 he had over 17 games in the 2022 season. He could surpass that total as early as Week 9 against the Falcons.

Bynum had nine total tackles and two interceptions in Monday's win over the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum had an outstanding game in coverage as he allowed just one of two passes targeted at him to be completed (per Pro Football Focus) for 18 yards with the two picks. He's also been a strong tackler by averaging 9.8 tackles per game.

Bynum notched nine solo tackles during Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum now boasts 41 total tackles through six appearances, an average of 6.8 per contest. He's also tallied two passes defensed and one forced fumble. By virtue of his consistent tackle numbers, Bynum will remain an interesting fantasy option in IDP formats heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the 49ers.

Bynum logged 12 tackles (nine solo) and a forced fumble during Minnesota's 21-13 win against the Panthers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum has produced efficient numbers through the team's first four games and has already logged double-digit tackles three times. The 25-year-old is currently having the best start to a year in his career and is on pace to set a new personal best for total tackles.

Bynum had 15 tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Thursday's 34-28 loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum was the leading tackler for a Minnesota defense that got plenty of opportunities to rack up tackles against a run-heavy Philadelphia offense that rushed for 259 yards and three touchdowns. Thursday's 15 tackles marked a new career high for the 2021 fourth-round draft pick, who has 25 tackles (11 solo) through two games in 2023.

Bynum started at safety opposite Harrison Smith and had ten total tackles in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum picked up where he left off last season when he had a breakout season as the starting free safety. It was thought 2022 first-round pick Lewis Cine may challege for the starting free safety role, but he struggled in the preseason and was limited to special teams in the opener. Bynum was also strong in pass coverage as he allowed three receptions on four targets but for just 12 yards, according to Pro Football Focus.

Over 17 games, Bynum registered a career-high 81 tackles (49 solo) as well as six passes defended, including two interceptions, and two fumble recoveries during the 2022 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Bynum doubled his production in pass defense while nearly tripling his number of tackles in his second campaign with Minnesota. The 2021 fourth-round pick saw the majority of his playing time come on special teams as a rookie, though he opened the 2022 season in an every-down role alongside veteran strong safety Harrison Smith. The 24-year-old Bynum also maintained this role throughout the entirety of the campaign after rookie first-rounder Lewis Cine went down with a season-ending fractured leg Week 4. It will be worth monitoring how the Vikings plan to split playing time between this pair heading into the 2023 season.
