Outlook
The entire fantasy case is touchdown-dependent. He turned six red-zone looks and two end-zone targets into a career-high four scores, which is how a player with 160 yards still mattered occasionally. Strip away the variance-prone TDs and there's nothing to draft here; treat him as a touchdown-or-bust streamer only when the matchup and goal-line script align. Full outlook

Josh Oliver Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE on the sideline for now
On injured reserve, biceps.
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE49 last season at 3.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE51 at 2.5 PPR points per game, against 3.7 over 15 games last season (TE49). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 55th of 81 in route participation (27.8%), 53rd of 82 in target share (4.1%) and 49th of 82 in efficiency (1.06 yards per route run). Route participation is the soft spot. Carson Wentz is his quarterback.
He's on injured reserve, biceps. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most.
The next favorable matchups are the Dolphins in Week 4 (9th against TEs) and the Saints in Week 5 (3rd against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Oliver remains a blocking specialist first, and the route data confirms it: just 151 routes across 12 games in 2025, a 27.8% route share, and a 4.1% target share that ranks him as a deep afterthought in Minnesota's passing hierarchy. His 0.073 WOPR and 1.06 yards per route are replacement-level for the position, and 19 targets simply can't sustain weekly relevance no matter how efficient he is. That said, the underlying efficiency is genuinely strong, a 0.604 EPA per play and 63.2% success rate, plus a clean 78.9% catch rate on 15 grabs.
The entire fantasy case is touchdown-dependent. He turned six red-zone looks and two end-zone targets into a career-high four scores, which is how a player with 160 yards still mattered occasionally. Strip away the variance-prone TDs and there's nothing to draft here; treat him as a touchdown-or-bust streamer only when the matchup and goal-line script align.

How difficult is Josh Oliver's remaining fantasy schedule?
Favorable: of his next seven games, 4 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 1 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
