Elijah Arroyo injury update: Seahawks TE could miss time with shoulder issue

Seattle's tight end is expected to miss time after a shoulder injury, with severity still being determined.

By Cole Hartwell

Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo is expected to miss time with a shoulder injury suffered Thursday, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The severity is still being determined, but the injury could lead to an extended absence.

What happened

Fowler reports that Arroyo suffered the shoulder injury on Thursday. The Seahawks played their Week 6 game at the Denver Broncos on Thursday, October 15.

Context

Arroyo has played five games this season, totaling 2.7 PPR points on two targets and one reception for 17 yards. He has played 27% of Seattle’s offensive snaps. In Week 5, he was targeted once and played 32% of snaps. Sleeper projects him for 1.0 PPR points in Week 6.

Depth chart

With Arroyo potentially out, AJ Barner remains the top tight end on the depth chart. Barner has 30.3 PPR points this season on 20 targets, with 12 receptions for 122 yards and an 89% snap share. Eric Saubert is listed as the No. 2 tight end, with 9.3 PPR points on three targets, two receptions, three yards and one touchdown in five games. Josiah Deguara is being signed to the practice squad, per a source cited by Fowler.

What’s next

The Seahawks have already played their Week 6 game. Fowler reports that the severity of Arroyo’s injury is still being determined.

Fowler: Elijah Arroyo (shoulder) expected to "miss time."

Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo is expected to miss time with a shoulder injury suffered Thursday, per sources. Still determining severity but could be an extended absence. Hence, the Deguara signing. [Quoting @JFowlerESPN: "Seahawks are signing TE Josiah Deguara to the practice squad, per source. The former third-round pick was last with Philadelphia."]

🏈 Fantasy impact

Arroyo has minimal fantasy value, with just 2.7 PPR points on the season. His potential absence does not significantly change the Seahawks’ tight end landscape. AJ Barner remains the clear starter and should be rostered in most leagues. Eric Saubert could see a slight uptick in playing time, but he has not been productive. Managers should not add Josiah Deguara at this point.
