Vikings' Josh Oliver: Makes most of looks with two TDs
Oliver caught both of his targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-0 victory over Washington.
Oliver came into Sunday with one or zero targets in nine of his 10 games this season, so the fact that he got two balls thrown his way was out of the ordinary in itself. Not only did Oliver catch both of those targets, he scored on each one, reeling in an 18-yard TD in the first quarter and a six-yard score in the third. On the season, four of Oliver's nine catches have gone for a TD, making him about as extreme a TD-dependent fantasy option as it gets.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Returning from two-game absence
Oliver (foot) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Oliver logged a full practice Friday, and his lack of an injury tag means he will return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a foot injury. He'll slot back into the TE2 spot behind T.J. Hockenson, which means less snaps on offense will be available for Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims. Oliver has caught five passes (on seven targets) for 61 yards and two touchdowns across seven regular-season games.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Limited again Thursday
Oliver (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Oliver was unable to practice over the past two weeks due to a foot injury, and a second consecutive limited practice Thursday indicates that he is progressing well in his recovery. A third limited practice or an upgrade to full participation Friday would bode well for Oliver's availability in Sunday's divisional clash with the Bears.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Returns to practice
Oliver (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
A foot injury prevented Oliver from practicing over the past two weeks and caused him to be sidelined for Weeks 9 and 10. His ability to practice in at least a limited capacity indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and head coach Kevin O'Connell relayed to reporters Monday that he expects Oliver to be available for Sunday's NFC North clash against the Bears, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Oliver's return would mean less rotational snaps at tight end would be available for Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Expected to play Week 11
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he expects Oliver (foot) to return to practice this week and play Sunday against the Bears on Sunday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Oliver missed the previous two games with a sprained foot but is closing in on a return to action. The veteran tight end is mainly used as a blocker by the Vikings, as he's only secured five catches for 61 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Ruled out
Oliver (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
Oliver will miss a second consecutive week due to the foot sprain he suffered in Week 8 against the Chargers. The loss of the backup tight end will likely mean more snaps for Ben Yurosek again, who has logged 32 offensive snaps in the past two games since Oliver suffered his injury.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Still not practicing Wednesday
Oliver (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Oliver was forced to miss Sunday's game at Detroit because of a foot sprain he suffered in Week 8 against the Chargers, and now his status for Week 10 is in question, too. He'll probably need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play Sunday versus the Ravens.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Nearing return?
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Oliver (foot) will work off to the side at practice this week, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Oliver was sidelined for the Week 9 win over the Lions after spraining his foot the game prior, but it now appears he's returning to practice this week. The San Jose State product has caught five of seven targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns through seven contests this season. His practice participation during this week will likely offer the best indication of whether he can return for the Week 10 matchup against the Ravens.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Ruled out for Week 9
Oliver (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Oliver sustained a sprained foot in last Thursday night's loss to the Chargers and will miss his first game of the season. The blocking specialist has recorded five catches for 61 yards and two touchdowns on the year. Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims will be candidates to see increased reps behind T.J. Hockenson.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Doesn't practice Thursday
Oliver (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Oliver sprained his foot during the Vikings' Week 8 loss to the Chargers, and Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reported Wednesday that the veteran tight end is unlikely to play against the Lions on Sunday. Ben Yurosek would be the Vikings' backup tight end behind T.J. Hockenson if Oliver is indeed ruled out Week 9 while Ben Sims -- who Minnesota claimed off waivers from Green Bay on Monday -- serves as the TE3.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Likely out with foot sprain
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Oliver will likely be sidelined for Sunday's matchup against the Lions due to a foot sprain, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
The 28-year-old was feared to have sustained a long-term injury in Minnesota's Week 8 loss to the Chargers, but X-rays confirmed the issue to be a foot sprain. Although Oliver is expected to miss the Week 9 contest in Detroit, he could return for the Week 10 matchup against the Ravens. While he's likely sidelined Sunday, expect Ben Yurosek to operate the Vikings' No. 2 tight end.

Vikings' Josh Oliver: Questionable to return to TNF
Oliver (foot) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Chargers.
Oliver suffered a foot injury in the first half, leaving his status for the rest of the game uncertain. In his absence, Ben Yurosek stands to see an increase in workload at tight end behind starter T.J. Hockenson.

Oliver had two receptions for 35 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win over Cleveland in London.
Oliver's touchdown came on a trick play from Cam Akers in the wildcat formation. Oliver has just four receptions and six targets in five games this season. He's almost exclusively a blocking tight end but can get the occasional touchdown (two this season).
