Josh Oliver Fantasy

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed 2019 third-round tight end Josh Oliver (foot) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Oliver will have surgery to fix a broken foot. The 23-year-old out of San Jose State also missed 12 games in his rookie season in 2019 due to injury after he was a third-round pick. It remains to be seen if Oliver will be able to return later in the 2020 season, but for now you can ignore him in all fantasy formats. Tyler Eifert will be the team's primary pass-catching tight end, but he's lost most of his fantasy appeal over the years because he hasn't been able to stay healthy, either.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Josh Oliver (foot) broke a bone in his foot and will have surgery, according to head coach Doug Marrone. There's no timetable on when Oliver will be ready to return, but there's a good chance that he won't be ready for the start of the 2020 season. The 25-year-old was a third-round pick in 2019 but missed 12 games due to injuries. Tyler Eifert should see most of the repetitions as the team's top pass-catching tight end to begin the season, but he also has a very extensive injury history from his time in Cincinnati and isn't a realistic tight end target in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

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.
