Saubert wasn't credited with a target in the box score in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams. He caught a two-point conversion in overtime.

Saubert's first look was on the last play of the game, when he caught the two-point conversion to seal a crucial win over the Seahawks' division rival. This was a memorable moment, but it has been a slow season for the veteran tight end, as he has been targeted just twice over nine games.

Mitchell-Paden (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Mitchell-Paden popped up on Friday's injury report due to a knee issue, which earned him the questionable tag for Sunday's game. However, he has been a healthy scratch for the Saints' last two games, so his absence wouldn't impact how New Orleans deploys its tight ends all that much.

Kelce is expected to play in the Chiefs' last three games of the regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kelce has deflected questions about his future in the league and has previously suggested he'll make his decision by March of 2026, before both the NFL Draft and the start of free agency. While his future status may be in doubt, he won't bow out for the rest of the 2025 season even after the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention. Nevertheless, his numbers could suffer in the final three games with Gardner Minshew under center, who is replacing the injured Patrick Mahomes (knee).

The Eagles elevated Jenkins from the practice squad to the active roster Friday.

This marks the second time this season Jenkins has been elevated to the active roster. In his one game against Minnesota in Week 7, the 27-year-old contributed five snaps on offense and 19 on special teams but didn't record any stats. The second-year pro will likely play a similar role for the Eagles on Saturday.

The Commanders elevated Cager from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Eagles, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Cager draws his first elevation of the 2025 season for a Saturday divisional matchup. The tight end was likely elevated due to the absence of Colson Yankoff (ankle), and he will most likely fulfill Yankoff's role as a supplementary blocker for the Commanders' offense and special teams.

Bartholomew (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bartholomew ended Week 16 prep with back-to-back full practices to earn the questionable tag. He opened the season on the physically unable to perform list due to a back injury he sustained in late August, so he'd have to be activated from the Vikings' PUP list Saturday in order to be available for Sunday's contest. If that happens, the rookie sixth-rounder would be slated to make his NFL regular-season debut in New York.

Ferguson secured three of four targets for 33 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

The rookie tight end found paydirt for the first time since Week 7 in the second quarter, scoring on a third-yard pass from Matthew Stafford. Prior to last week's one-catch performance, Ferguson had been on a four-game streak without a catch, so this week's bump in targets and catches was a welcome sight for fantasy managers waiting to see some of the second-round pick's potential in the latter half of the season. The Rams remain on the road for a Monday, Dec. 29 showdown in Atlanta, and Ferguson will look to continue building on his positive momentum over the last two weeks.

Allen secured two of five targets for 34 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

Despite the season high in targets for Allen, it was Terrance Ferguson who scored the only touchdown out of the Rams' tight end trio. Currently on a six-game scoreless streak, Allen has generally been the least fantasy viable of the group of tight ends on the roster; his best week from a fantasy perspective was in Week 10, when he had two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Given that, this week's minor boost in targets feels more like an aberration than a meaningful move towards relevance, and expectations should remain low for a Week 17 matchup in Atlanta.

Waller (rest/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waller was listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday with rest/knee, but his return to all activity Friday clears him for Week 16 action. He'll be working with a new signal-caller Sunday, as rookie Quinn Ewers is taking over for Tua Tagovailoa. Nevertheless, in his seven appearances this season, Waller has had a knack for finding the end zone, as evidenced by his 20-243-6 line on 26 targets.

Briningstool (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Despite practicing in full throughout the week, the Clemson product isn't ready for in-game action just yet. Briningstool has yet to make his NFL debut after catching 49 of 76 targets for 530 yards and seven touchdowns during his final collegiate season. His next opportunity to take the field will come in the Week 17 matchup against the Broncos, though he must still be activated to Kansas City's active roster in order to play.
