Outlook Elijah Arroyo

Deep-League Depth Option Faces Uphill Battle in Crowded Seattle Tight End Room

Entering his second season with Seattle, Elijah Arroyo sits third on the tight end depth chart behind AJ Barner and Eric Saubert. After catching 16 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown in his 14 appearances last year, Arroyo remains a developmental project with limited immediate target upside in this offense.

Our projections estimate a modest step forward, forecasting 19 receptions for 240 yards and two touchdowns on 42 targets. His ADP has shown late-spring volatility, hovering around 308 in May before spiking and settling near 366 in mid-June. This fluctuation suggests fantasy managers in deep PPR leagues are keeping a loose eye on his athletic profile, though he currently remains a free agent in most standard setups.

Given his current depth chart standing and low ownership, Arroyo is purely a deep dynasty stash. He is not currently worth drafting in redraft leagues unless injuries clear a path to consistent playing time.

Outlook Justin Jefferson

Elite WR1 Status Secure as Quarterback Upgrades Energize Minnesota's Offense

Justin Jefferson remains the undisputed focal point of the Minnesota passing attack, leading a receiving corps alongside Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson. The arrival of Kyler Murray alongside a developing J.J. McCarthy offers a major upgrade to the offense, elevating Jefferson's weekly ceiling.

Our models project Jefferson to secure 95 receptions for 1,250 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 139 targets. This heavy workload guarantees a dominant target share, making him one of the safest high-floor assets in fantasy football.

Jefferson's ADP recently spiked to 6th overall in early June before settling back to a value of 12th overall in mid-June. At this late first-round draft price, our projections view him as an absolute steal rather than a market reach, giving managers an elite 1.0 PPR anchor.
