Mundt had two receptions for 22 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, on two targets in Sunday's win over Arizona. Mundt got slightly increased playing time with Josh Oliver out with an ankle injury. He played on 22 of the offense's 53 snap while starter T.J. Hockenson played on 34 snaps. While Hockenson is clearly the top tight end, Mundt has two targets inside the 10-yard line while Hockenson has none since he returned from a knee injury. That trend could be a fluke, but Mundt at least offers some touchdown hope despite minimal usage (five targets in five games since Hockensen returned).

Mundt had two receptions for 22 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, on two targets in Sunday's win over Arizona. Mundt got slightly increased playing time with Josh Oliver out with an ankle injury. He played on 22 of the offense's 53 snap while starter T.J. Hockenson played on 34 snaps. While Hockenson is clearly the top tight end, Mundt has two targets inside the 10-yard line while Hockenson has none since he returned from a knee injury. That trend could be a fluke, but Mundt at least offers some touchdown hope despite minimal usage (five targets in five games since Hockensen returned).
Mundt did not have a target or reception in Sunday's win at Jacksonville. Mundt played just 18 snaps on offense and went out on three routes, as he's moved to a small role with the return of T.J. Hockenson from a knee injury.
Mundt failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts. Mundt slid to the No. 3 spot at tight end with T.J. Hockenson returning to the field in Week 9 after missing the first seven games of the season while recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in 2023. Mundt was limited to a season-low 19 offensive snaps and he'll continue to operate behind Hockenson and Josh Oliver moving forward.
Mundt had one reception for ten yards on his only target in Thursday's loss to the Rams. 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.
Mundt had four receptions for eight yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to Detroit. Mundt got heavy usage by playing on 40 of the offense's 60 snaps and went out on 27 routes, according to Pro Football Focus. However, Mundt could see a reduced role as early as Thursday if T.J. Hockenson returns from a knee injury against the Rams.
Mundt had two receptions for 31 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over the Jets in London. 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, considering T.J. Hockenson could return from a knee injury after Minnesota's upcoming bye week.
Mundt had two receptions for 15 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay. 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.
Mundt caught one of three targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Texans. 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.
Mundt had two receptions for 12 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over San Francisco. 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.
