Josh Oliver Fantasy

On Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver left practice with a hamstring injury. On Friday, head coach Doug Marrone said that the hamstring issue is serious and that the team doesn't know when Oliver will be back on the field. The rookie was off to a promising start to camp and had a shot at claiming the starting tight end role for the Jags, but that's likely over now. Expect Jacksonville to play it safe with Oliver this year and for Geoff Swaim to establish himself as the team's top tight end. Swaim has some fantasy intrigue in deeper leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver suffered a hamstring injury during Thursday's practice. Head coach Doug Marrone says that he isn't sure of the severity of the injury and how much time Oliver will have to miss, but it's a big setback for a promising young tight end. While Oliver will face an uphill battle to be fantasy relevant as a rookie, he remains an intriguing dynasty option due to his strong showing at camp. The hamstring injury shouldn't hamper his long term outlook.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie tight end Josh Oliver is off to a strong start in the team's offseason practices. Oliver told Jaguars.com's John Oehser that practicing with the team has "gone well," and the team's coaching staff has also praised Oliver's performance. The Jaguars have a pretty unsettled situation at tight end right now, with Oliver fighting Geoff Swaim, Ben Koyack, and James O'Shaughnessy for snaps. Oliver is the only one of those players who should be on anyone's fantasy radar, though a lot depends on how he's able to progress over the Summer and into the preseason. While rookie tight ends tend to struggle in re-draft, there's dynasty value with Oliver.
