Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

Yurosek's 2025 line is the entire story: six games, a 16.6% snap share, and just 36 routes run, a sliver 6.6% of Minnesota's dropbacks. He drew three targets all year, hauling in two for 14 yards, leaving a microscopic 0.6% target share and a 0.012 WOPR that essentially rounds to zero usage. The 0.39 yards per route and 1.4 total fantasy points confirm there's no role to project from here.

The one flicker worth noting is efficiency on a tiny sample: 0.116 EPA per play and a 33.3% success rate suggest he didn't actively hurt the offense when on the field. But at 23 he sits buried on the depth chart with no path to volume mapped out, and nothing about his snap or target trend points toward a 2026 breakout. He's a name to monitor only if injuries clear the room ahead of him, not a draftable asset.
