2024 RTSports Outlook
Tonyan played his first season with the Bears and had 11 receptions for 112 yards. It was his lowest yardage and reception totals since 2019. He was down on the depth chart and didn't get much playing time. Tonyan can serve the backup role well, though. He has some starting experience and past success. Expect him to serve a similar role this season. He has two seasons in his career with 50-plus receptions. Tonyan has good speed for a player of his size and runs solid routes. He still isn't a great blocker but is improved in that area. He has good hands and rarely drops a pass (just four drops for his career).
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Tonyan is not a player to draft. He won't get enough consistent work in the passing game. He might get 15 receptions for 150 yards.

Former Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan signed an undisclosed deal with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday. Tonyan will stay in the NFC North after playing in all 17 regular-season games with the Chicago Bears in 2203, catching just 11 of 17 targets for 107 receiving yards and no touchdowns. The 30-year-old's addition in Minnesota will give the Vikings a little more depth at the position with T.J. Hockenson (knee) trying to return this fall from a serious knee injury. If Hockenson isn't ready to go for Week 1, Tonyan, Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt would be competing for playing time. Even if Hockenson is delayed to start the 2024 campaign, Tonyan probably won't be anything more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 option in fantasy for a short period of time. He has a total of 148 catches (193 targets) for 1,549 yards and 17 touchdowns (11 in 2020) in his six years in the NFL.
