2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fresh off inking a three-year extension with the Vikings, Oliver remains positioned for a key role on offense as the No. 2 tight end behind T.J. Hockenson. While Oliver's most impactful contributions will come as a blocker, he showed an ability to step up in the passing game early in 2024 while Hockenson was sidelined. Read Past Outlooks
Catches TD in win
Oliver had one reception on his only target for a 12-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Oliver has just two receptions and two targets in three games this season. He's almost exclusively a blocking tight end but can get the occasional touchdown (seven total in his prior three seasons).

2019
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
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.
