Josh Oliver was listed as a full participant in practice, indicating he is recovering well from a wrist injury and is likely to be available for upcoming games.

O'Connell's strategic play-calling was exemplified on the first touchdown of the game, where Josh Oliver ran a short route to the right, contributing to a well-executed play that resulted in an easy touchdown for Justin Jefferson. This highlights Oliver's role in creating mismatches and openings in the defense.

Josh Oliver returned from an ankle injury and has been a solid contributor for the Vikings this season. Despite his absence, he outsnapped Hockenson in three consecutive games prior to his injury and outgained him twice. However, upon his return, Hockenson maintained his role as the primary pass-catching tight end, running significantly more routes than Oliver, indicating that Oliver's presence has not diminished Hockenson's fantasy value.

Josh Oliver returned to the lineup after missing two games due to injury, contributing to the Vikings' offensive efforts in their victory over the Falcons.

Josh Oliver, who has missed the last two games, will return to the lineup after being a full participant in practice all week, providing a boost to the Vikings' tight end position.
