Josh Oliver Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed tight end Josh Oliver (back) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday after he injured his back in Week 11 against the Colts. He had just three catches for 15 yards in four games this year. The Jags signed tight end Nick O'Leary in a corresponding move. Seth DeValve missed the game with an injury, and Geoff Swaim and James O'Shaughnessy are also on Injured Reserve, so the team is hurting for depth at the position. O'Leary will join DeValve and Ben Koyack as the only tight ends on the active roster. You should be ignoring the position in fantasy in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver made his first NFL reception in Week 8, but he shouldn't be expected to play a larger role when the Jaguars play the Texans in Week 9. One issue is that Oliver -- who impressed enough in training camp to earn some preseason sleeper hype -- got a late start to his rookie year after dealing with a hamstring injury. The other is that the Texans allow the second-lowest catch rate to opposing tight ends. Oliver is worth a dynasty roster spot, but that's about it.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver (hamstring) practiced in full the last two days and isn't on the Week 7 injury report against the Bengals. Oliver has yet to play in his rookie season, but this weekend would be good timing for him to make his debut with Geoff Swaim out and James O'Shaughnessy on Injured Reserve. There's no guarantee that Oliver is heavily involved in the offense in his first game, but he's one to watch for those that are desperate at the position.
