Gavin Bartholomew
TE
Minnesota Vikings
- Quarterback Kyler Murray is questionable. Watch the status.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how TEs have played against the Buccaneers in the 2026 season.

Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Buccaneers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Gavin Bartholomew has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Buccaneers opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Gavin Bartholomew will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Buccaneers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Gavin Bartholomew's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Gavin Bartholomew usually produces.
Projected is Gavin Bartholomew's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Buccaneers were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

| Bartholomew avg | 2.7 | 2.3 | 18.0 | 0.0 | 4.1 | |
| Buccaneers TE1 avg | 6.5 | 5.0 | 66.0 | 0.5 | 14.6 | |
| Difference | +3.8 | +2.7 | +48.0 | +0.5 | +10.5 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Bartholomew averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
