Ben Yurosek

23-Year-Old Tight EndTE
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yurosek is a solid athlete out of Georgia, as he ran a 4.64 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 245 pounds. He features an 81-inch wingspan, too. The California native put together two solid seasons as a receiver at Stanford, but he never reached those levels again, especially in his fifth year, when he caught just 15 passes for 185 yards and no scores at Georgia. His best path to a roster spot is as a run-blocking tight end. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $2.99 million contract with the Vikings in April of 2025.
