Oliver was not targeted in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie third-round pick was expected to make the start Sunday with Geoff Swaim (concussion/ankle) sidelined, but Seth DeValve ended up receiving the starting nod. Oliver played only 25 offensive snaps in his NFL debut and was significantly out-snapped by DeValve (49) and Ben Koyack (43) at tight end, though none of the three caught any passes. Oliver should remain off the fantasy radar until he sees more playing time and actually establishes himself in the passing game.

Oliver is expected to start Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old missed the entire preseason and the first six weeks of the regular season due to the hamstring injury, but he'll be thrust into the starting role Week 7 in his NFL debut. Geoff Swaim (concussion/ankle) is inactive while James O'Shaughnessy (knee) is out for the season, leaving Oliver a prime opportunity to stake his claim for the No. 1 job at tight end.

Oliver (hamstring) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver began the week as a limited practice participant but progressed to full participation Thursday and Friday to clear the way for his NFL debut this weekend. The rookie third-round pick has been sidelined since early August by the hamstring injury, but could have an immediate role in the offense with Geoff Swaim (concussion/ankle) sidelined and James O'Shaughnessy (knee) out for the year. Oliver is mostly just a speculative stash in fantasy until he shows what he can do on the field.

Oliver (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver appears ready to make his NFL debut against the Bengals on Sunday, barring any setbacks. The rookie third-round pick could be in line for a key role in Jacksonville's offense, with Geoff Swaim nursing a concussion. Still, he isn't yet worth fantasy consideration in leagues that start a single tight end.

Oliver (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver has yet to suit up in game action this season due to the lingering hamstring injury, but coach Doug Marrone said Monday that he thinks Oliver could suit up Sunday. Considering Geoff Swaim is nursing a concussion and James O'Shaughnessy (knee) resides on injured reserve, Oliver could play for a key role in the offense against the Bengals if fully healthy. Expect his practice availability to show a more accurate picture throughout the week.

Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that Oliver (hamstring) could have a chance to play Sunday against the Bengals, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Geoff Swaim nursing a concussion and James O'Shaughnessy (knee) on injured reserve, Oliver could be in line for a key role on offense versus the Bengals if healthy. That said, a lingering hamstring issue has kept the rookie sidelined the previous six contests, so Oliver isn't a lock to fully recover in time to suit up Week 7.

Oliver (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver was a limited participant again this week but won't make his NFL debut against New Orleans. Geoff Swaim is primed for a heavy snap count this week with James O'Shaughnessy (knee) out for the season.

Oliver (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
It's the fourth straight practice as a limited participant while Oliver continues progressing toward his return from the hamstring injury sustained in early August. The rookie third-round pick should have a chance to carve out a solid role in the offense once he's cleared for game action; No. 1 tight end James O'Shaughnessy was lost for the season with a torn ACL.

Oliver (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game at Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver was a limited participant at practice this week and will miss his fifth straight game with the hamstring injury. The rookie third-round pick will likely need to advance to full practice participation before having a chance at taking the field. James O'Shaughnessy and Geoff Swaim will continue to work as the Jaguars' top-two tight ends.
