Elijah Arroyo is a fantasy football sleeper and undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the Seattle Seahawks tight end.
RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): TE30
Fantasy Draft Analysis: There are a lot of late-round tight end options that are intriguing, but one player going completely under the radar is 2025 second-round pick Arroyo.
Elijah Arroyo had his best season with Cam Ward, catching 35 passes for 590 yards and seven touchdowns during the 2024 season with the Miami Hurricanes. Arroyo is a big, dynamic weapon in the passing attack, who is a strong route runner who flashed separation skills in college. He was dominating the Senior Bowl as well before suffering a knee injury that disrupted his draft process.

The rookie tight end does have a checkered injury history (he tore an ACL in 2022 in addition to the Senior Bowl injury), but nothing that should limit him in 2025. He joins a receiving room that features Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
With Noah Fant gone, Arroyo could be heavily involved in the offense early on, and the rookie also has enough ability to earn targets thanks to his route-running ability. Outside of Smith-Njigba, there isn’t much competition for targets on the depth chart.
There is massive upside here, especially at the tight end position. That is a gamble worth taking in the final round of drafts.
