Jaylon Moore, Josh Oliver Standing Out rotoballer.com Fri 6/25/21 12:30 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jaylon Moore, who spent last season on the practice squad, was involved in every offseason practice and made highlight-reel-type catches in several of them. With a ton of receivers ahead of him on the practice squad, it's unlikely that Moore will make the roster. However, his improvement this year has been notable and impressive. Tight end Josh Oliver was the most consistent and involved tight end in the passing game this offseason. He presented himself as a big,...

Ravens Acquire Josh Oliver rotoballer.com Thu 3/18/21 12:22 PM

The Baltimore Ravens acquired tight end Josh Oliver from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick, according to a source. Oliver is a former third-round pick that has played in just four games in the NFL over the last two seasons because of injuries. In his short time in the league, he's caught three passes for 15 yards and no touchdowns for the Jaguars. But if he can find a way to stay healthy, Oliver is a promising young tight end that could flourish in ...

Josh Oliver Placed On Injured Reserve rotoballer.com Thu 8/20/20 1:32 PM

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 ...

Josh Oliver Breaks Bone In Foot, Needs Surgery rotoballer.com Mon 8/17/20 12:39 PM

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 ...

Jaguars Place Josh Oliver On IR, Sign Nick O'Leary rotoballer.com Mon 11/18/19 5:43 PM

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...

Josh Oliver Not A Fantasy Option Against Texans rotoballer.com Fri 11/1/19 10:04 PM

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 ...

Jacksonville's Confusing Pass Offense rotoballer.com Fri 11/1/19 1:18 PM

Outside of Leonard Fournette, it has been hard to consistently trust a fantasy option on Jacksonville's offense. Nick Foles broke his collarbone in Week 1, thrusting sixth-round rookie Gardner Minshew II into the starting lineup.The tight end position is simply not producing numbers. We've seen the likes of James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim attempt to fill the position before getting injured. Now it is third-round rookie Josh Oliver and veteran Seth DeValve as the next men up.In addition, ...

Josh Oliver Set To Make NFL Debut rotoballer.com Fri 10/18/19 8:48 PM

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.

Josh Oliver Ruled Out For Week 6 rotoballer.com Fri 10/11/19 2:00 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Josh Oliver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Saints. James O'Shaughnessy is on Injured Reserve, so this will open up considerable playing time for Geoff Swaim on Sunday at home against New Orleans.
