Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver scored a touchdown for the second time in three weeks, finishing with two catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 victory against Cleveland. The blocking-focused tight end was the secret weapon on a trick play, leaking through the Browns' defense with backup running back Cam Akers in a Wildcat look, which led to a 32-yard scoring connection for the Vikings' first touchdown. Oliver nearly had a second score, but was tackled inside the five on his only other catch. He remains an unpredictable, touchdown-dependent play, but deserves some roster consideration in deeper formats.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave's opportunity has declined substantially and is no longer fantasy viable when the Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Musgrave ran routes on 81 percent of dropbacks in Week 10 against the Eagles. Even his role as a sporadic contributor to the Packers' offense is in peril, as John FitzPatrick earned more snaps and ran four more pass routes than Musgrave did last week against the Giants. With just eight targets and seven receptions for 56 yards in his three combined games after Tucker Kraft's season-ending injury, it seems the replacement for Kraft's workload won't come from the tight end position for the Packers. Musgrave is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues, much less starting in your lineups in Week 12.
