Vikings spent a fifth-round pick on fullback/H-back Max Bredeson; with Frank Smith's arrival and Shanahan-tree fullback usage patterns (Dolphins' Alec Ingold averaged ~400 snaps/season, 49ers' Kyle Juszczyk ~600 snaps/season), Bredeson could see significant snap share; room for fullback to play roughly one-third of offensive snaps this season if Bredeson proves worthy, likely carved from T.J. Hockenson and WR3 Jauan Jennings snap counts.NegativeBustJul 28, 2026
Popular name excluded from Mr. Mankato top 10 due to limited splash-play potential. Tyler Forness cited splash-play ability as the lifeblood of the award, making Bredeson's lack thereof a disqualifying factor.PositiveRoleJul 28, 2026
Vikings fifth-round draft pick at fullback/H-back; likely to see significantly increased snap count this season compared to C.J. Ham's historical 200+ snaps per year. With fullback usage patterns from the Shanahan tree (Dolphins averaged 350-425 snaps, 49ers averaged 600), Bredeson could play roughly a third of offensive snaps if the Vikings follow Frank Smith's Miami scheme, with snap reductions likely coming from T.J. Hockenson and/or WR3 Jauan Jennings rather than elite receivers Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
The source is particularly interested in how much Max Bredeson (rookie fullback) works with the starters as a sign of how big his role will be this season; Frank Smith used a fullback more in Miami than Kevin O'Connell has with the Vikings, so it will be interesting to see how big a role the Vikings are envisioning for Bredeson.
