Ben Yurosek

23-Year-Old Tight EndTE
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yurosek is a solid athlete out of Georgia, as he ran a 4.64 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 245 pounds. He features an 81-inch wingspan, too. The California native put together two solid seasons as a receiver at Stanford, but he never reached those levels again, especially in his fifth year, when he caught just 15 passes for 185 yards and no scores at Georgia. His best path to a roster spot is as a run-blocking tight end. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $2.99 million contract with the Vikings in April of 2025.
Gets first career reception
TEMinnesota Vikings
October 24, 2025
Yurosek had one reception for five yards on two targets in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
It was Yurosek's first career reception as he got increased playing time (15 snaps on offense) after Josh Oliver left with a foot injury. Yurosek could have a larger role if Oliver misses time, but he'll likely be used mostly as a blocking tight end.
