Gray recorded two receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jaguars.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes found both of his top two tight ends for scores in the Week 10 victory, as Travis Kelce also cashed in with a seven-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter. Kelce remains locked in as the Chiefs' top pass catcher and arguably the best fantasy tight end, but Gray often shares the field with him and has held a consistent, albeit low-upside role within the Kansas City offense. In the Chiefs' nine games, Gray's offensive snap share has ranged between 41 and 57 percent, and he's drawn between one and three targets in each of those contests.

Alie-Cox went without a target while playing 36 of the Colts' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.

Even though he benefited from a slight boost in playing time with one member of the Colts' three-man tight-end committee out of the lineup in Jelani Woods (shoulder), Alie-Cox couldn't come through with any useful numbers. The bulk of Alie-Cox's fantasy production for the season came Week 3, when he scored two touchdowns and caught six passes for 85 yards. In his other nine appearances, Alie-Cox has mustered only seven receptions for 64 yards and no scores.

Calcaterra could benefit from an uptick in snaps with top tight end Dallas Goedert potentially sidelined for multiple weeks after suffering a shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Commanders, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Jack Stoll has played 40 percent of the Eagles' snaps on offense this season and has been the clear No. 2 tight end through the team's first nine games, but he's been deployed almost exclusively as a blocker and has recorded just eight receptions through 25 career games. As such, the Eagles could look to the likes of Calcaterra and Tyree Jackson (knee) -- who is on the PUP list but could be activated Week 11 -- to help pick up the slack in the pass-catching department, although Goedert's 5.9 targets per game are more likely to be dispersed throughout the offense. Calcaterra hasn't played more than 17 snaps in any game in 2022 and hasn't drawn a target since he recorded a 40-yard reception in Week 3.

Stoll is expected to benefit from an uptick in snaps with top tight end Dallas Goedert potentially sidelined for multiple weeks after suffering a shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Commanders, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Stoll has already played 40 percent of the Eagles' snaps on offense this season, but he's been deployed almost exclusively as a blocker and produced an underwhelming 4-49-0 receiving line on seven targets through nine games. Though Goedert's absence should open up more playing time, the Eagles are unlikely to turn to the 24-year-old Stoll to handle a high-volume pass-catching role. Instead, look for Goedert's 5.9 targets per game to get dispersed among a slew of players. Rookie Grant Calcaterra and Tyree Jackson (knee) -- who is on the PUP list but could be activated for Week 11 -- are also candidates to take on more snaps at tight end.

Hopkins reeled in one of his two targets for an 11-yard gain in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Suiting up for the fourth contest in a row after serving a three-game suspension earlier in the season, Hopkins once again served as the primary backup to Tyler Higbee. Hopkins narrowly cleared 20 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps for the second straight game, and he could have a path to seeing a slight uptick in playing time moving forward even while Higbee remains healthy. With star wideout Cooper Kupp (ankle) undergoing surgery Wednesday and set to miss at least four games, the Rams will need to turn to a collection of players to replace his 10.8 targets per game. While some of that volume will be diverted to the run game, the Rams could explore using more two tight-end sets featuring both Higbee and Hopkins, the latter of whom was a standout pass catcher during his college days at Purdue.

Indianapolis cut Daniels from its practice squad Tuesday.

Daniels joined the Colts' practice squad ahead of Week 10 but wasn't elevated for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders and has been released a week later. In a corresponding move, Indianapolis signed linebacker Tyrell Adams to its practice squad.

Goedert is expected to miss extended time after suffering a shoulder injury in Monday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The exact nature of Goedert's injury isn't yet known, nor has a timeline for a return been established or a decision been made on whether or not he'll go on injured reserve, but the Eagles don't believe the tight end will be lost for the season. In Monday's game, Goedert recorded three receptions for 23 yards and a touchdown on three targets, but he had a key lost fumble in the fourth quarter. On that lost fumble, Goedert was grabbed in the facemask by a Washington defender, but a penalty wasn't called and Goedert appeared to suffer the injury on the play in question. The Eagles are likely to offer further details on Goedert's injury in the days to come, but expect the team to turn to a combination of Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra and Tyree Jackson (knee) to fill in for him at tight end for the next few weeks.

Minnesota will host Mack (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Mack, a 2019 seventh-round pick by the Saints, is still vying for a chance to make his NFL debut. He spent time with the Packers this offseason and reached an injury settlement with the team just prior to the start of the regular season.

Dulcich caught one of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

After a solid if belated start to his rookie campaign, Dulcich's one-catch performance was a major disappointment for fantasy managers. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end was unable to get anything going as Denver's offensive struggles continued in Week 10. Despite this underwhelming performance, Dulcich played 89 percent of the offensive snaps, and Russell Wilson continues to look his way. With Jerry Jeudy nursing an ankle injury, it's possible that Dulcich could be relied upon even more if the wideout is forced to miss a favorable matchup in Week 11 when the Broncos host the Raiders.

Knox caught four of six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

The 57 yards iare actually a season high for Knox, continuing a disappointing campaign for the fourth-year tight end following last year's 49-587-9 breakout. Through eight games in 2022, he has a modest 24-240-2 line, and among tight ends, Knox's yardage is tied for 22nd while his 24 catches is tied for 20th.
