2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Seahawks hope Arroyo can overcome his lengthy history of knee injuries to make the most of his impressive physical traits. He had just 11 catches in his first three seasons at the University of Miami, with knee injuries costing him large chunks of the 2022 and 2023 campaigns, before breaking out for a 35-590-7 receiving line in 13 games last year. Arroyo then suffered another knee injury at the Senior Bowl, which prevented him from doing pre-draft testing but didn't stop Seattle from picking him 50th overall. At 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, Arroyo has prototypical size and speed for a NFL tight end, and he'll head to camp as the No. 1 TE on the depth chart after Seattle released Noah Fant in July. Arroyo confirmed in May that he's no longer bothered by his knee injury from the Senior Bowl, potentially setting the stage for full participation in spring practices and training camp.

Signed a four-year contract with the Seahawks in July of 2025.
Quiet debut
Arroyo caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick played just 16 of the team's 52 offensive snaps (31 percent) while AJ Barner finished with 44 snaps (85 percent). Arroyo should have the highest long-term upside because of his athleticism and pass-catching abilities, but Barner has established himself as a dependable run blocker that may fit better with the Seahawks' scheme.
