Josh Oliver Ruled Out for Remainder of Week 18 with Ankle Injury

Sunday, January 4, 3:00 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers after suffering an ankle injury. Oliver recorded two catches for 29 yards on two targets before exiting the game. The 28-year-old will finish the 2025 season with 15 catches for 160 yards and four touchdowns on 19 targets across 15 games played. Minnesota entered the game already without tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder), so the team is now working without its top two players at the position. Without Hockenson and Oliver, the Vikings will likely rely on tight ends Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims for the remainder of Week 18.

Elijah Arroyo Stuck in Depth Role for the Foreseeable Future

Wednesday, March 18, 4:51 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo carried plenty of upside coming out of college. While it initially seemed like his landing spot in Seattle gave him a path to contributing as a rookie, that didn't pan out. Instead, Arroyo caught just 15 passes across 13 games, operating as a clear depth option behind breakout tight end A.J. Barner. Given that Barner remains under contract for 2026 and is still trending up, it's hard to envision Arroyo carving out much of a fantasy-relevant role in his second pro season. He should take a natural second-year leap, but we expect him to remain outside the top 36 fantasy receivers in redraft leagues. From a dynasty perspective, he's only worth buying in very deep leagues where you can afford to be patient with his development.
