Elijah Arroyo

Arroyo sits TE3 behind AJ Barner (entrenched receiving-down starter) and veteran blocker Eric Saubert, who is ahead of him on the early-down/in-line reps; new OC Brian Fleury's heavy multi-TE looks are expected to funnel most of the passing-game work to Barner.

Snap share fell from the high-30s% down to 11% and target share slipped to single digits over his final four logged games, a shrinking-role pattern that predates any depth-chart change and adds downside risk to an already limited role.

Arroyo's medical file flags a knee issue in his injury history; he is currently listed healthy entering 2026, but it's worth monitoring given his blocking-limited, movement-dependent role.

Seattle's new offensive coordinator has signaled a heavier 12/13-personnel approach, which could still generate incidental snaps for a third tight end even without a role change on the depth chart.
