News

  • Sidelined to start minicamp

    Osborn didn't practice during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp due to an undisclosed injury, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Osborn's injury is unclear, but he joined fellow wideout Ihmir Smith-Marsette (leg) as a non-participant Tuesday. Despite their offseason injuries, Osborn and Smith Marsette are slated to be the top two receivers behind Minnesota's dynamic duo of Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen.

  • Four targets in Week 18

    Osborn caught one of four targets for 21 yards and one score during Week 18's 31-17 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Osborn finished the 2021 campaign with 50 receptions for 655 yards and seven touchdowns. He started the season off hot with 12 receptions for 167 yards through the first two weeks, but he took a backseat as Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen demanded the majority of Kirk Cousins' attention. However, after Thielen went down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 13, Osborn once again stepped up his game. Over the last six contests of the year, Osborn totaled 19 catches for 290 yards and five touchdowns…read more

  • Hits pay dirt in loss

    Osborn had three receptions (five targets) for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-10 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Osborn stepped into the starting lineup in place of Adam Thielen (ankle) as expected, and he delivered a strong fantasy performance with a second-half touchdown. The 24-year-old was already seeing his role increase prior to Thielen's season-ending injury last week, scoring four of his six touchdowns over the last five weeks. The Vikings will take on the Bears in a meaningless game (from a playoffs standpoint), but Osborn and the rest of Minnesota's offensive options would benefit if Kirk…read more

  • Locked in for No. 2 receiver spot

    Osborn is expected to serve as Minnesota's No. 2 receiver from the remainder of the season after the Vikings placed Adam Thielen (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Osborn had already held the No. 2 role for most of the past four games with Thielen either out or exiting early due to the left ankle sprain. The second-year wideout has a four-game streak with at least three catches and a 79 percent snap share, averaging 3.8 receptions for 54.8 yards on 6.5 targets in that time while scoring three times. He also put up decent numbers in September as Minnesota's No. 3 receiver, but Osborn was unable to sustain the volume when Thielen and Jefferson were both…read more

  • Steps up in loss

    Osborn recorded five receptions on seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Osborn maintained an increased role in Minnesota's offense as Adam Thielen was limited by an ankle injury. He took advantage by finishing second on the team in targets, yards and receptions. Additionally, he tallied long receptions of 30 and 19 yards while also finding the end zone on a six-yard catch midway through the fourth quarter. Osborn's ability to impact the game in a similar way in a Week 17 matchup against Green Bay will likely come down to Thielen's ability to take the field.

  • Three grabs in start

    Osborn secured all three targets for 21 yards in the Vikings' 17-9 win over the Bears on Monday night.

    Analysis: Osborn drew another start for Adam Thielen (ankle), but unlike the Week 14 Thursday night win over the Steelers when he cobbled together a strong fantasy effort with a late touchdown, there was no such development Monday night. The University of Miami product could be back to his usual No. 3 role for Sunday's critical Week 16 home battle against the Rams, considering Thielen was considered a game-time decision Monday night.

  • Scores long TD in spot start

    Osborn brought in three of nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 36-28 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The emerging second-year wideout drew the start in place of Adam Thielen (ankle) and ended up leading the Vikings in receiving yards thanks in large part to a 62-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, Osborn actually slogged through a highly inefficient night, but the long score helped the University of Miami product to the second-highest yardage tally of his young career. If Thielen is still out or limited for a Week 15 Monday night divisional battle against the Bears on Dec. 20,…read more

  • Steps up in place of hurt starter

    Osborn had four receptions (seven targets) for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Starter Adam Thielen (ankle) was forced out of the contest early in the first quarter, opening the door for Osborn to get more involved in the offense. The 24-year-old produced a solid fantasy line, but it wasn't even his best performance this season despite getting extra run. Osborn could continue to see increased usage if Thielen is forced to miss any time with his sprained ankle. The veteran wideout is currently listed as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Steelers, but the short…read more

  • Non-factor in loss

    Osborn caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Osborn played 55 percent of the team's offensive snaps (30 of 55), but he was once again held to just one catch, as Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson dominated Kirk Cousins' attention. Even with the Vikings playing from behind for the majority of Sunday's loss, Osborn couldn't crack fantasy relevance. The 2020 fifth-round pick's steady playing time should keep him in the conversation, but his lack of production over the past four weeks (three catches for 44 yards) makes him a risky fantasy play…read more

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Osborn had one reception for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's 34-32 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Osborn played on 52 percent of the offense's snaps (36 of 69) and went out for a route on 23 plays. He's been getting about the same playing time as earlier in the season as the third receiver, but the passing game has narrowed on the duo of Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, with Tyler Conklin emerging as the distant third option. Osborn's steady playing time could make him more of a factor if the Vikings are playing from far behind, but it's hard to count on any production otherwise.

  • No receptions Sunday

    Osborn did not have a reception or carry in Sunday's 27-20 win at the Chargers but did have one target.

    Analysis: Osborn played on 51 percent of the offense's snaps and went out for a route on 26 of his 41 snaps. While he's getting about the same playing time as earlier in the year, he has just four targets and one reception in his last three games. Tyler Conklin has become the third option in the passing game, and the duo of Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson have dominated the target share as much as ever, leaving Osborn on the outside for now. Osborn's steady playing time could make him more of a factor…read more

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Osborn had one reception for 20 yards on two targets in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss at Baltimore.

    Analysis: Osborn played a season-low 26 (47 percent) of the team's snaps on offense. He has just five targets combined the last two games but still has a firm hold on the third receiver role.

  • Just two receptions Sunday

    Osborn had two receptions for 10 yards on three targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: Osborn played on 38 of the offense's 66 snaps -- about his season average -- but had his fewest targets since Week 3. Although Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen dominate the targets, Osborn remains a viable fantasy option in deeper formats. Osborn continues to get a steady workload and has a firm grasp on the third receiver role, even if the results were not there against Dallas.

  • Grabs game-winning touchdown

    Osborn had six receptions for 78 yards on seven targets, including a game-winning 27-yard touchdown in overtime in Sunday's win at Carolina.

    Analysis: Osborn has been getting steady targets in the Minnesota passing game, but hadn't been getting much yardage the past three games (eight catches for 66 yards ). Although Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen dominate the targets, Osborn remains a viable fantasy option in deeper formats.

  • Just 14 yards receiving Sunday

    Osborn had three receptions for 14 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Osborn played about the usual snap count (40 of the offense's 67 snaps) but didn't get many targets when the offense got conservative in the second half trying to protect a lead. Dede Westbrook played a season high 14 snaps and had three receptions, which is a minor concern for Osborn's usage.

  • Four touches in loss

    Osborn had three receptions for 26 yards on seven targets and had one carry for 10 yards in Sunday's loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: Osborn didn't produce many yards from scrimmage, but it was a positive sign he was second on the team in targets and used on a designed running play, especially after he had just two targets last week. Minnesota's offense struggled to move the ball against Cleveland's stout defense, so Osborn should improve next week against Detroit.

  • Just two receptions Sunday

    Osborn had two receptions on two targets for 26 yards in Sunday's win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Osborn played on 44 of the offense's 75 snaps, the same percentage as Week 2. However, he saw just two targets after six and nine the prior two weeks. Meanwhile, Tyler Conklin had his first big week -- seven catches for 70 yards and a TD -- which could be a minor negative as the Vikings may rotate their secondary targets after Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson.

  • Productive again Sunday

    Osborn caught five of six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout put together another big performance, leading the Vikings in receiving yards and scoring his first career NFL touchdown on a 64-yard strike from Kirk Cousins in the first quarter. Osborn is enjoying the lack of defensive attention that comes from lining up alongside Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, and he'll look to continue his breakout campaign in Week 3 at home against the Seahawks.

  • Steps up as No. 3 WR

    Osborn caught seven of nine targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Osborn played just 119 special-teams snaps and none on offense as a rookie last season, but the 2020 fifth-round pick improved dramatically in the offseason and is set to work as the Vikings' third wide receiver behind Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. Thielen scored two touchdowns on a game-high 10 targets, while Jefferson and Osborn were both right behind him with nine targets apiece. Keeping this level of involvement will be tough as long as Thielen, Jefferson and running back Dalvin Cook…read more

  • Looks set as No. 3 WR

    Osborn is expected to begin the season as the Vikings' No. 3 wide receiver with Chad Beebe waived due to a foot injury and with Dede Westbrook only recently starting to participate in team drills, Arif Hasan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Osborn could have a meaningful role in the offense initially with Beebe out of the picture, Westbrook unlikely to contribute right away, and with Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer saying the offense may need to utilize three-receiver sets more due to tight end Irv Smith's knee injury. Osborn likely has a short window of opportunity. In addition to Westbrook potentially take over the role, Smith could return in a few weeks, and Chris Herndon, whom the Vikings acquired Tuesday, could quickly get up…read more

  • Another impressive preseason game

    Osborn had three receptions on seven targets for 68 yards in Friday's preseason loss at Kansas City.

    Analysis: Osborn has drawn rave reviews from the coaching staff in training camp and played well in preseason games, so he looks like the leading candidate for the No. 3 receiver role. However, Dede Westbrook (knee) ultimately may win the No. 3 job when he gains full clearance from the torn ACL he sustained in 2020. Chad Beebe also remains in the mix but may be a better fit as the slot receiver. The third receiver role for the Vikings could therefore be in flux early in the regular season.

  • Gets start at wide receiver

    Osborn started at wide receiver and caught both his two targets for 27 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Osborn started opposite Adam Thielen with Justin Jefferson sitting out as he comes back from a shoulder injury, which shows he has a lead on the third-receiver role. Osborn also returned one punt for four yards. He's in the mix to win the punt and kickoff roles as well. Osborn has drawn rave reviews in camp, so he could have a role in the offense, but Dede Westbrook (knee) ultimately may win the No. 3 job when he gains full clearance from the torn ACL he sustained in 2020.

  • Has two receptions Saturday

    Osborn had two receptions for 15 yards and also returned two kickoffs for a 31-yard average in Saturday's preseason loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Osborn is competing for the third receiver role with Chad Beebe and Dede Westbrook. He was listed as the No. 3 receiver on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. He was one of the few players with a starting job or in competition for a starting job playing Saturday, likely to get him opportunities as a returner. Osborn could win the punt or kickoff return jobs along with a third- or fourth-receiver role.

  • Listed as No. 3 receiver

    Osborn is listed as the No. 3 receiver on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason.

    Analysis: Osborn has drawn rave reviews in training camp, so this isn't a total surprise. He's listed with Chad Beebe as the Nos. 3 and No. 4 receivers, so there may not be much separation between the two. Dede Westbrook (knee) may ultimately win the No. 3 receiver role when he gains full clearance from the torn ACL he sustained in 2020.

  • Makes good early impression

    Osborn has had an impressive training camp, including catching a 50-yard reception in Saturday's scrimmage, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: He's more likely to make the final regular-season roster with Bisi Johnson out for the season with a knee injury. Osborn will face competition from Dede Westbrook for the punt return job he held much of last season. He's also likely behind Westbrook for the third receiver role. However, Osborn is a player to watch during the preseason given his early camp reports because he could make a large leap in his second season.

  • Sitting down for Week 12

    Osborn (coach's decision) is inactive for Minnesota's Week 12 matchup against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Osborn leads the Vikings in both punt-return attempts (four) and kick-return attempts (13) thus far in 2020, but Tajae Sharpe has been activated and inserted above him at the No. 5 wide receiver spot. With Osborn out of the mix for Week 12, Ameer Abdullah and Chad Beebe are likely to garner opportunities in the return game.

  • Clear of hamstring issue

    Osborn (hamstring) wasn't listed on Minnesota's injury report Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old missed the previous two games heading into the Week 7 bye, but he's practicing with no limitations after receiving the extra recovery time. Osborn should reclaim returning duties for the Vikings now that he's healthy.

  • Can't face Falcons

    Osborn (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Osborn will miss his second game in a row due to a lingering hamstring injury. As long as he's sidelined, Chad Beebe will handle punt returns while Ameer Abdullah stands to return kickoffs.

  • Still sidelined due to hamstring

    Osborn (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Osborn looks to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Falcons. If he's forced to miss a second straight contest due to his hamstring injury, Chad Beebe will once again return punts while Ameer Abdullah takes back kickoffs.

  • Won't face Seahawks

    Osborn (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday night's contest in Seattle, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Osborn will need to miss at least one week as he works his way back from a hamstring injury. In his stead, Chad Beebe and Ameer Abdullah will likely fill in for him on punt and kick returns, respectively.

  • Handles kickoff returns

    Osborn returned two kickoffs for an average of 32 yards in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Osborn didn't play a snap on offense as he'll be limited to special teams unless a receiver or two get hurt. It looks like he could make an impact as a returner if his first two returns are any indication.

  • Makes 53-man roster

    Osborn made Minnesota's 53-man roster, The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Osborn was kept for his return skills and he'll likely begin the season as the team's punt returner and potentially the team's kickoff returner. Either way, he'll initially be a deep reserve on offense.
