2024 Fantasy Outlook
A third-round pick by the Jaguars in 2019, Oliver's targets, catches, yards and touchdowns all set or matched career highs. He saw action on 42 percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps after signing a three-year, $21 million deal with Minnesota last offseason. Oliver is primarily a run blocker, where he excels, but that could change early in the season. He could get more targets early in the season as T.J. Hockenson may not be available to begin the season while recovering from January surgery on a torn ACL. Read Past Outlooks

Secures two touchdowns in 2023
Oliver appeared in all 17 games during the 2023 season, catching 22 of 28 targets for 213 yards and two touchdowns.
ANALYSIS
A third-round pick by the Jaguars in 2019, Oliver's targets, catches, yards and touchdowns all set or matched career highs. He saw action on 42 percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps after signing a three-year, $21 million deal with Minnesota last offseason. Oliver should once again play more of a blocking role behind T.J. Hockenson (knee) next season.

2019
Oliver signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Vikings in what was a surprise considering the large role T.J. Hockenson played in the second half of last season. In 35 career games, Oliver has caught only 26 passes for 230 yards, so he likely won't threaten Hockenson for targets. Instead, Oliver's focus will be on improving Minnesota's run blocking.

Coach teases more 12 personnel
Coach Kevin O'Connell said the Vikings will likely use 12 personnel, with two tight ends sharing the field, more frequently after signing Oliver and losing wide receiver Adam Thielen, per Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Per O'Connell, signing Oliver "might lead one to believe we might play with a little bit more 12 personnel on the field." The Vikings frequently went three-wide in 2022 with Justin Jefferson, Thielen and K.J. Osborn, but the team's expected to shift its philosophy due to the change in personnel, with Oliver and T.J. Hockenson frequently sharing the field as a result. Oliver had 149 yards and two touchdowns for the Ravens in 2022 but could see more pass-catching opportunities with his new team.
