Gavin Bartholomew is projected as TE3 on the initial 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.

Tight end Gavin Bartholomew is producing big catches daily during Vikings training camp, potentially following a Tyler Conklin-style development arc. This is relevant given T.J. Hockenson's free agency looming after the 2026 season, positioning Bartholomew as a potential long-term replacement at the position.

Bartholomew is winning a roster spot over Ben Yurosek as training camp progresses. He is 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 in Yurosek, who hasn't shown up in training camp so far. Bartholomew was a sixth-round pick last year but missed his rookie season due to injury and was seemingly written off, but he's come back and is making plays.

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.

Bartholomew's opportunity with the Vikings was limited after an injury last year opened the door for Ben Yurosek. Despite strong college production (105 catches for 1,257 yards and 11 touchdowns at Pitt) and impressive combine metrics (1.59-second 10-yard split), Bartholomew is expected to be released as the Vikings move forward with other tight end options.
