  • Foster Moreau TE | HOU

    Raiders' Foster Moreau: Scores first TD of year

    Moreau caught three of four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

    With Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve, Moreau once again served as the Raiders' top tight end and hauled in his first TD of the year on a four-yard toss from Derek Carr in the second quarter. Moreau has caught multiple passes in six straight games, although that streak was interrupted by a two-week absence due to a knee injury, and he figures to have a larger role in the offense again in Week 11 against the Broncos.

  • Kylen Granson TE | TEN

    Colts' Kylen Granson: Four catches against Vegas

    Granson caught all four of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.

    With Jelani Woods (shoulder) inactive and Mo Alie-Cox dealing with an ankle injury in practice during the week, Granson wound up with less competition for targets than usual at tight end and had one of his best games of the season. The 2021 fourth-round pick is still looking for his first career TD in the NFL, but he continues to tease some intriguing upside. Even with Matt Ryan back under center for the Colts, however, the team's offense may struggle to move the ball in Week 11 against the Eagles.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Cowboys' Dalton Schultz: Hits pay dirt in overtime loss

    Schultz had six receptions (eight targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to Green Bay.

    Schultz picked up where he left off before the bye week with another strong fantasy performance. The 26-year-old is averaging 5.7 receptions and 59.0 yards over his last three contests. More importantly, he served as the lead tight end for third straight week after having limited availability early in the season due to a nagging knee injury. Schultz's stock is on the rise heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Vikings next Sunday.

  • Noah Fant TE | NO

    Seahawks' Noah Fant: Rings up 34 yards

    Fant caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Fant followed up last week's 5-96-0 line with a modest showing, as he finished fifth among Seahawks pass catchers in terms of receiving yards. The 2019 first-round pick started the season slowly, but he has produced a respectable 20 catches for 250 yards through the last six contests.

  • Gerald Everett TE | CHI

    Chargers' Gerald Everett: Return to SNF questionable

    Everett (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Everett caught both of his targets for 23 yards prior to exiting in the second quarter. He's yet another notable pass catcher to get hurt in a Chargers passing game that's already without wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring), Mike Williams (ankle) and Jalen Guyton (knee).

  • Trevon Wesco TE | LV

    Bears' Trevon Wesco: Doesn't record a catch

    Wesco was targeted once but didn't tally a reception in the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Wesco has been targeted three times this season, catching one pass for 23 yards. He's mostly used as a blocker, so unless his role changes, he won't likely be a viable fantasy option in most leagues.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Cardinals' Zach Ertz: Multi-week absence expected

    Ertz (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks, but his ACL appears to be intact, though an MRI on Monday will determine the extent of his injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury didn't have an immediate update on Ertz's injury after the game, but it appears Ertz will likely sit out multiple games after hurting his knee in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams. Trey McBride will start at tight end while Ertz is sidelined.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Cardinals' Zach Ertz: Doesn't return Sunday

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury didn't have an update on Ertz's (knee) status after Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams, and the tight end was seen wearing a knee brace in the locker room, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Ertz didn't return to the game after being carted to the locker room in the first quarter. He'll have one extra day to heal up since the Cardinals don't play until MNF against the 49ers in Week 11, but it's unclear if the veteran tight end's currently viewed as day-to-day, week-to-week or worse. If Ertz misses additional time, rookie second-round pick Trey McBride would ascend to the top of Arizona's tight end depth chart.

  • T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN

    Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Seeing heavy volume with Vikings

    Hockenson caught seven of 10 targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.

    Hockenson has been targeted 19 times in two games with the Vikings, catching 16 of those for 115 yards. His steady diet of targets from Kirk Cousins has elevated Hockenson back into the upper echelon of the thin tight-end position, especially in PPR formats. The former Detroit tight end will face the Cowboys in Week 11. Dallas held Hockenson to four catches for 48 yards as a member of the Lions in Week 7.

  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Two more trips to end zone

    Kmet caught four of seven targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Lions.

    Justin Fields' sudden surge of passing production has benefitted Kmet the most -- of the quarterback's seven TDs through the air over the last three games, the tight end has been on the other end of five of them. Kmet's 74 yards were also a season high, although most of them came on a 50-yard touchdown in the third quarter on a busted coverage by the Detroit secondary. The 2020 second-round pick will look to continue his scoring binge in Week 11 against the Falcons.
