Impact Mundt was intergral in the offense by playing on 31 of the offense's 50 snaps and went out on 17 routes, according to Pro Football Focus. However, Mundt could see a reduced role as early as next week if T.J. Hockenson returns from a knee injury against the Colts.

Impact Mundt was in the starting lineup in a two-tight end set and played in 38 of the offense's 73 snaps as the primary receiving tight end (Josh Oliver is almost exclusively a blocker). Mundt could see a reduced role as early as Week 7 as T.J. Hockenson could return from a knee injury after Minnesota's upcoming bye week.

Impact Mundt's window for viable fantasy value may be closing with the return of Jordan Addison from an ankle injury and with T.J. Hockenson (knee) potentially returning to practice this week or next from the PUP list.

Scores first TD of season Mundt caught one of three targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans.

Impact The tight end capped a four-touchdown day for quarterback Sam Darnold by hauling in his first TD of the season in the fourth quarter, Mundt has seen exactly three targets in all three games to begin the season, but that modest volume has resulted in only five catches for 29 yards. T.J. Hockenson (knee) likely won't be ready to play until after Minnesota's Week 6 bye, but a breakout for Mundt doesn't appear likely in Week 4 against the Packers.

Two receptions in win Mundt had two receptions for 12 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over San Francisco.

Impact Josh Oliver and Mundt both started the game in a two-TE set, but Mundt got more playing time (38 snaps compared to 29) and had more targets (Oliver had none). Mundt is clearly the receiving tight end option in the offense with T.J. Hockenson out while coming back from a knee injury, but he's not a big factor in the passing game. However, that could change if both Jordan Addison (ankle) and Justin Jefferson (quad) are sidelined Week 3 against Houston.

Two receptions in season opener Mundt had two receptions for 15 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Impact Josh Oliver got the start at tight end and had 27 snaps on offense compared to 29 for Mundt. Oliver had similar production with two receptions for 27 yards on three targets. While neither tight end was a major factor in the passing attack, that could change if Jordan Addison missed time with an ankle injury.

Vikings UFA profile: TE Johnny Mundt Mundt has been a solid rotational tight end for the Vikings over the past two seasons.

JANUARY 30, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Catches 17 passes for Minnesota Mundt appeared in all 17 games during the 2023 season, catching 17 of 23 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown.

Impact The targets and yards were new career bests for the 29-year-old veteran tight end. Mundt was mostly tasked with blocking duties on his 223 offensive snaps, but he did see extended pass-catching opportunities and playing time over the final two-and-a-half games of the season following T.J. Hockenson's season-ending torn ACL. Mundt posted 4-39-1 and 5-58-0 receiving lines on a combined 13 targets in Weeks 17 and 18. He's scheduled to become a free agent in March after spending the last two seasons with the Vikings following five with the Rams.

JANUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Increased role with Hockenson hurt Mundt had one reception for 23 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Impact Mundt played a season-high 22 snaps on offense as he got more playing time after T.J. Hockenson suffered a knee injury. Mundt and Josh Oliver could see increased targets if Hockenson and Jordan Addison remained sidelined with injuries.

DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs first catch since Week 10 Mundt played five of the Vikings' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders, finishing with one catch for four yards.

Impact The reception was Mundt's sixth of the season and his first since Week 10. Mundt retains a regular role on special teams and typically gets a handful of snaps on offense in two-tight-end sets, but he's unlikely to see enough involvement in the passing game to attain fantasy relevance so long as T.J. Hockenson or Josh Oliver are available for a given game.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • VIKINGS.COM

Just one catch so far this season Mundt went without a target across seven snaps on offense Sunday in the Vikings' 19-13 win over the Bears.

Impact Mundt recorded an 11-yard reception in the Vikings' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs for his first catch of the season, but quarterback Kirk Cousins didn't look the tight end's way during his limited time on the field Sunday. As the third-string option at the position who often serves as a blocker when he plays, Mundt is far removed from the fantasy radar.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Short-yardage receiver in 2022 Mundt caught 19 of 21 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown while playing in all 17 games during the 2022 regular season.

Impact Mundt saw by far the most extensive playing time of his career after following Vikings first-year coach Kevin O'Connell to Minnesota this past offseason. The 28-year-old tight end also accumulated more receptions and receiving yards than he did over the first six seasons of his career with the Rams. Mundt still finished the season in a reserve role behind prolific receiving tight end T.J. Hockenson, who was acquired via trade from Detroit midway through the season. With 2019 second-round pick Irv Smith currently set to become a free agent this offseason, Mundt could be in line to serve as Minnesota's No. 2 tight end in 2023.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns catch Sunday Mundt caught his only target for a 12-yard gain in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Jets.

Impact Mundt operated as the team's No. 2 tight end behind T.J. Hockenson, seeing the field for 24 snaps on offense. It was the 28-year-old's third consecutive game with a reception. He'll likely play a similar role Week 14 against the Lions.

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal role with new TE Mundt had one reception for one yard in Sunday's win at Washington.

Impact Mundt played 15 snaps on offense and went out on four routes. T.J. Hockensen had nine receptions and played on 60 snaps, so Mundt didn't see any short-term bump in playing time while Hockensen got acclimated to his new team. Mundt will have a limited, primarily blocking role with Hockensen in the fold.

TD catch in win Mundt had a one-yard touchdown reception on his only target in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Impact It was just Mundt's fifth target in his last three games (five receptions for seven yards during that stretch). He's been an afterthought in the passing game once Irv Smith got up to full speed after the first few games after a preseason thumb injury. However, Mundt could be pressed into a larger role with Smith now likely out several weeks with an ankle injury. Still, Mundt's role may not increase too much, as he's not seen as skilled as a receiver.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Has drop on only target Mundt had a drop on his only target in Sunday's win over New Orleans in London.

Impact Mundt played just 20 snaps on offense and went out on just five routes as his role has shrunk with Irv Smith back to full speed after preseason injuries.
