• Vikings' Josh Oliver: Makes one catch in Week 16

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Oliver recorded an 18-yard catch on his lone target in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys. After making a splash in the Vikings' 31-0 win over the Commanders in Week 14 with a pair of touchdown grabs, Oliver was held quiet Sunday despite Minnesota clearing the 30-point threshold once again. Even with top tight end T.J. Hockenson available, Oliver continued to see ample playing time, as he was on the field for 34 of the Vikings' 55 snaps on offense. Even if that playing-time trend holds through the Vikings' final three games of the season, Oliver will remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy option at tight end with limited appeal.

• Vikings' Josh Oliver: Makes most of looks with two TDs

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Oliver caught both of his targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-0 victory over Washington. Oliver came into Sunday with one or zero targets in nine of his 10 games this season, so the fact that he got two balls thrown his way was out of the ordinary in itself. Not only did Oliver catch both of those targets, he scored on each one, reeling in an 18-yard TD in the first quarter and a six-yard score in the third. On the season, four of Oliver's nine catches have gone for a TD, making him about as extreme a TD-dependent fantasy option as it gets.

• Vikings' Josh Oliver: Returning from two-game absence

  11/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Oliver (foot) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Oliver logged a full practice Friday, and his lack of an injury tag means he will return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a foot injury. He'll slot back into the TE2 spot behind T.J. Hockenson, which means less snaps on offense will be available for Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims. Oliver has caught five passes (on seven targets) for 61 yards and two touchdowns across seven regular-season games.

• Vikings' Josh Oliver: Limited again Thursday

  11/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Oliver (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Oliver was unable to practice over the past two weeks due to a foot injury, and a second consecutive limited practice Thursday indicates that he is progressing well in his recovery. A third limited practice or an upgrade to full participation Friday would bode well for Oliver's availability in Sunday's divisional clash with the Bears.

• Vikings' Josh Oliver: Returns to practice

  11/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Oliver (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. A foot injury prevented Oliver from practicing over the past two weeks and caused him to be sidelined for Weeks 9 and 10. His ability to practice in at least a limited capacity indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and head coach Kevin O'Connell relayed to reporters Monday that he expects Oliver to be available for Sunday's NFC North clash against the Bears, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Oliver's return would mean less rotational snaps at tight end would be available for Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims.
