From the article

the Vikings having spent a fifth-round pick on fullback/H-back Max Bredeson, will the Vikings use a fullback on a significantly greater percentage of their offensive snaps this season?

STACKED’s take

Bredeson could play ~33% of snaps if Vikings increase fullback usage under Frank Smith.

The Vikings selected Bredeson in the fifth round as a fullback/H-back. The source analyzes whether Bredeson will see significant snap count increases under Frank Smith's run game coordination, noting that fullbacks in the Kyle Shanahan tree (which Frank Smith is part of) typically play 350-425 snaps per season, compared to C.J. Ham's 200 snaps in the KOC era. The source suggests there is room for Bredeson to play roughly a third of offensive snaps if he proves worthy and the Vikings decide to increase fullback usage, with snap reductions likely coming from T.J. Hockenson and WR3 positions.
