Josh Oliver to Miss the Rest of the Season With Torn Biceps

Monday, September 28, 10:48 AM

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (biceps) suffered a torn biceps muscle in the Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and needs season-ending surgery, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Oliver will miss the rest of the 2026 regular season, and he will be a long shot to return if the Vikings have a deep playoff run. The 29-year-old former third-round selection of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019 from San Jose State was not on the fantasy football radar as a pass-catching TE, but he was extremely valuable to the Vikings' offense as a blocker. His 2026 season will end after just three games and three catches (five targets) for 46 yards. Oliver did have seven combined touchdowns for the Vikings in 2024 and 2025, but he has never surpassed 28 receptions or 258 receiving yards in a single season since making his NFL debut with the Jaguars in 2019.

Gunnar Helm Gaining Ground in Titans Passing Attack

Wednesday, November 11, 5:24 AM

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm returns from the Week 9 bye following his best performance of the season. Helm caught five of nine targets for 76 yards against Cincinnati in Week 8, setting career highs in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. The second-year tight end had caught three passes for 24 yards against Cleveland the previous week after seeing little involvement earlier in October. His nine targets against the Bengals were particularly encouraging, as Tennessee leaned heavily on the passing game in its 43-36 loss. Helm has not scored a touchdown this season, and his recent production comes from a small sample. Still, his growing involvement gives fantasy managers a reason to watch him heading into Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, especially in leagues where tight end options are limited.
