2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Seahawks hope Arroyo can overcome his lengthy history of knee injuries to make the most of his impressive physical traits. He had just 11 catches in his first three seasons at the University of Miami, with knee injuries costing him large chunks of the 2022 and 2023 campaigns, before breaking out for a 35-590-7 receiving line in 13 games last year. Arroyo then suffered another knee injury at the Senior Bowl, which prevented him from doing pre-draft testing but didn't stop Seattle from picking him 50th overall. At 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, Arroyo has prototypical size and speed for a NFL tight end, and he'll head to camp as the No. 1 TE on the depth chart after Seattle released Noah Fant in July. Arroyo confirmed in May that he's no longer bothered by his knee injury from the Senior Bowl, potentially setting the stage for full participation in spring practices and training camp.

ANALYSIS
Arroyo has been on Seattle's injured reserve list for the past five games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 14 at Atlanta, but his activity at practice signals he could return to game action for the NFC Championship. With any limits on his reps apparently behind him, the Seahawks would just need to officially activate him from IR prior to Sunday's game versus the Rams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More offensive duties Week 10?
TESeattle Seahawks
November 8, 2025
Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reported Friday that starting tight end AJ Barner should be cleared to play against the Cardinals on Sunday while working through a calf injury, but Arroyo may still see an expanded workload on offense due to the Seahawks dealing with multiple injuries at wide receiver.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks added to their wide receiver corps at the trade deadline by acquiring Rashid Shaheed from the Saints. Even so, Shaheed and Jaxon Smith-Njigba enter Week 10 as the only two healthy receivers on the active roster, while Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton are listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively, for Sunday's NFC West tilt. With multiple Seahawks pass catchers working through injuries, Arroyo could step into a larger role on offense and see more looks from quarterback Sam Darnold, especially with the Cardinals operating without defensive starters Mack Wilson, Max Melton and Will Johnson. Arroyo hauled in his first career touchdown against the Commanders in Week 9, and the rookie second-rounder has accumulated 13 catches on 19 targets for 169 yards through eight regular-season games.
