Bynum registered seven tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 42-21 win over Atlanta. Bynum co-led the Vikings in tackles Sunday with Blake Cashman and Josh Metellus. Bynum has played every single defensive snap in consecutive games, and in the eight regular-season games since the Vikings' Week 7 bye, he's accumulated 44 tackles (21 solo) and four pass defenses (including one interception).

Bynum recorded three total tackles (one solo) and one interception in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars. Bynum had a crucial interception in the Vikings' Week 10 win, picking off Mac Jones in the fourth quarter as the Jaguars appeared to be mounting a game-winning drive. The fourth-year pro has now started all nine of the Vikings' games this season, recording 51 total tackles and eight passes defended, including three interceptions. He's expected to continue making plays as the Vikings travel to Tennessee in Week 12.

Bynum notched nine solo tackles during Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears. 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 registered a career-high 81 tackles (49 solo) and added six pass breakups, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2022. Bynum doubled his production in pass breakups while nearly tripling his number of tackles from his rookie campaign with Minnesota. The 2021 fourth-round pick saw the majority of his playing time on special teams in the previous season, but he opened the 2022 campaign in an every-down role alongside veteran strong safety Harrison Smith. The 24-year-old Bynum maintained this role throughout the entirety of the campaign after rookie first-round pick Lewis Cine went down with a season-ending fractured leg Week 4. If Cine is back to full health in 2023, Bynum could end up ceding more work in the Minnesota secondary.

Bynum recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Packers. Bynum was the only player on Minnesota's defense who never left the field in last weekend's matchup versus Green Bay, and he also set a new season high with nine tackles in the contest. He's more than likely to continue serving as an every-down safety in Week 18 against Chicago.
