In Josh Oliver's absence, Vikings second tight end role would likely be filled by Gavin Bartholomew, a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Bartholomew did not play in his rookie season due to a back injury on the Physically Unable to Perform List and has played just four snaps on offense through the first three games of the 2026 season.NegativeDepth ChartSep 28, 2026

The source liked what it has been seeing from Gavin Bartholomew, who is 'making up for his lost season last year.' This suggests Bartholomew is bouncing back from injury or poor performance and is contributing positively in the preseason.PositiveRoleAug 23, 2026
Gavin Bartholomew is projected as TE3 on the 53-man roster. With Max Bredeson able to function as a blocking tight-end/H-back, Bartholomew's receiving ability is more attractive than Ben Yurosek's blocking ability, giving the offense two receiving and two blocking tight ends.PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026

Bartholomew was targeted on a deep attempt down the sideline by J.J. McCarthy that was slightly overthrown during team drills.PositiveDepth ChartAug 6, 2026
Winning a roster spot over Ben Yurosek as training camp progresses; more of a receiving tight end and has shown up quite a bit in that role. With Max Bredeson as a blocking fullback/H-back/tight end, it makes more sense to have another receiving tight end on the roster rather than another blocker like Yurosek, who hasn't shown up in training camp. Sixth-round pick last year who missed his rookie season due to injury and was seemingly written off, but has come back and is making plays.PositiveRoleAug 5, 2026
Gavin Bartholomew continues to have a good training camp and looks like he could end up as TE3 on the roster.PositiveUsageAug 4, 2026
Gavin Bartholomew was the target on one of the nicest throws of Saturday's padded practice, when Kyler Murray dropped in a perfectly placed bucket pass to the tight end over multiple defenders in front of him for approximately 15-20 yards. This was highlighted as the standout throw of the day.PositiveRoleJul 31, 2026
Getting buzz in training camp and during the offseason program; there is a scenario where he beats out Ben Yurosek for the third tight-end spot, particularly if Max Bredeson makes the roster as a blocking fullback/H-back. As a receiving tight end, his roster spot would give the Vikings two receiving tight ends and two blocking tight ends.
