Max BredesonMIN
The Vikings spent a fifth-round pick on fullback/H-back Max Bredeson, signaling potential increased fullback usage in the offense under Frank Smith's influence. The source projects Bredeson could play roughly a third of offensive snaps this season if he proves worthy, compared to C.J. Ham's historical 200 snaps per season. This would align with the Shanahan-tree standard of 350-425 fullback snaps per season seen in Miami under Mike McDaniel and San Francisco under Kyle Shanahan. Bredeson's role would primarily involve lead blocking and potential deception as a decoy, with snap count coming from reduced allocations to T.J. Hockenson and WR3 snaps.
