Josh Oliver
TE - Minnesota Vikings
Availability
Josh Oliver caught two passes for 30 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Oliver didn't see much involvement on Thursday night, but he was able to haul in one of Minnesota's two touchdowns on the night. T.J. Hockenson (knee) is set to return soon and ruin his involvement, but it's encouraging to see Sam Darnold getting even the backup tight ends involved while their star tight end has been sidelined.
Josh Oliver caught his lone target for five yards in the Vikings' 31-29 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
Oliver was more of an afterthought as part of the Minnesota offense, receiving two targets or less in each of his five games for the Vikings. The tight end will likely be relegated to the sidelines with the impending return of No. 1 tight end T.J. Hockenson on the horizon ahead of a Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Josh Oliver (wrist) is good to go for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact
A wrist injury left Oliver on the injury report earlier in the week, but he carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. He will play and should continue to have a solid role on Minnesota's offense for however long T.J. Hockenson (knee) remains out of the lineup.
Josh Oliver caught both of his targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Oliver connected with Sam Darnold on a two-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. Oliver and fellow TE Johnny Mundt will see a drop in production with T.J. Hockenson expected to return soon. Fantasy managers can comfortably leave Oliver out of their lineups heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Jets.
Josh Oliver (wrist) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Fantasy Impact
Oliver wasn't able to log a full practice session on Thursday because of a wrist injury. It's a day-to-day issue for right now, and it's unclear if the team expects him to play through it in Week 4. His possible absence won't carry much weight for fantasy purposes.
