2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bartholomew is competing for, at best, the No. 3 role behind T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver in Minnesota's tight end corps. The rookie fifth-round pick was a four-year starter at Pittsburgh in college, though in terms of production he peaked as a freshman with 28 catches for 326 yards and four touchdowns. His upside case is earning a rotational depth role. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year contract with the Vikings in May of 2025.
Moves to PUP list
Bartholomew (back) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie sixth-round pick out of Pittsburgh missed the entire training camp and will now sit out at least four games. Bartholomew put together a solid collegiate career but never surpassed 326 yards or four touchdowns in a season. Once he returns, he'll look to usurp undrafted rookie Benjamin Yurosek for the No. 3 tight end job.
