Our Take After Week 4

Through 3 games he's TE70 at 0.9 PPR points per game, against 2.8 over 13 games last season (TE60). He's running behind last season's pace.

Last season he ranked 52nd of 81 in route participation (31.9%), 47th of 82 in target share (5.7%) and 47th of 82 in efficiency (1.11 yards per route run). Route participation is the soft spot. Drew Lock is his quarterback.

He's TE3 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

Arroyo's rookie line tells a clear story: 15 grabs for 179 yards and a score on 26 targets across 13 games, with a 39.5% snap share that pinned him to a part-time role. The efficiency numbers are ugly enough to demand patience, a minus-0.625 EPA per play and a 42.3% success rate, dragged down by three interceptions thrown his way. Yet the seam usage is intriguing, 8.46 air yards per target and a 14.67 average depth on receptions, plus five red-zone looks that hint at scoring upside if the volume ever arrives.

The problem is the depth chart. He sits behind A.J. Barner and earned just a 5.7% target share, so the path to relevance runs entirely through expanded snaps. With an ADP outside the top 40 tight ends and projections near 17-190-1, he's a speculative late-round dart, worth a stash in deep leagues but nothing you draft expecting weekly production.

Elijah Arroyo Fantasy Outlook FAQ

What is Elijah Arroyo's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

Elijah Arroyo projects as a depth TE for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in TE-premium leagues and waiver-wire material in 12-team and 10-team leagues.

Elijah Arroyo is TE3 on the depth chart, so a bigger role needs an injury or a change ahead of him.

Will Elijah Arroyo get more targets?

Elijah Arroyo's targets are holding steady: 0.5 a game over his last two games against 0.3 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.

What is Elijah Arroyo's fantasy football upside?

Elijah Arroyo's upside: his ceiling this season is 2.7 PPR points (Week 2, TE38).

What could hurt Elijah Arroyo's fantasy value?

Elijah Arroyo's risks: his route participation (31.9% route participation, 52nd of 81 TEs in 2025) limits his scoring. See his injury status and history.

How difficult is Elijah Arroyo's remaining fantasy schedule?

Favorable: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 1 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
