The Minnesota Vikings are gaining recognition for their depth in skill positions, particularly at tight end, where Josh Oliver has earned the title of the best blocking tight end in the NFL. This accolade comes from ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, who highlighted Oliver's unique skill set and effectiveness in run-blocking. Oliver ranked fourth among tight ends in run block win rate last season, showcasing his vital role in the Vikings’ offense alongside T.J. Hockenson.

Oliver's blocking prowess not only enhances the Vikings' rushing attack but also provides critical support for quarterback Kirk Cousins, giving him the time to execute plays. This makes Oliver an essential asset for fantasy managers looking for value in later rounds.
