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.

Terrance Ferguson Out "Another Couple Weeks" After Injuring Hamstring

Sunday, November 8, 12:26 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) is expected to miss "another couple weeks," head coach Sean McVay told Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Ferguson, who has been on injured reserve, was expected to be activated for this week's game against the Commanders, but he was downgraded to out after he pulled his hamstring on Friday. The hamstring injury will keep Ferguson on the sideline while leaving Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson as the Rams' top tight ends. There is an important logistical factor tied to Ferguson's injury, as his practice window will close Nov. 25. Even if Ferguson isn't ready to play by Nov. 25, the Rams will have to activate him from IR if they plan for him to play again this season. Presumably, he'll take over as the No. 1 tight end in Los Angeles upon his returning, garnering some low-end TE1 appeal in redraft leagues.
