Kenny Yeboah TE | ARI
Jets' Kenny Yeboah: Summoned from practice squad again
The Jets elevated Yeboah from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's contest in Denver, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
This is the third time Yeboah has been elevated this season -- he also was brought up in Week 2 and Week 6. The second-year tight end has played just six offensive snaps and has yet to receive a target, but he's also been in on 49 special-teams snaps.

Sean McKeon TE | IND
Cowboys' Sean McKeon: Summoned from practice squad again
Dallas elevated McKeon to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Commanders.
This is the third elevation of the season for McKeon, who was also active in Weeks 3 and 6. He has logged 20 total offensive snaps on the campaign, catching his only target for 10 yards. Since he's now been elevated three times, he'll need to be signed to the 53-man roster the next time the Cowboys desire his services for gameday.

Trey McBride TE | ARI
Cardinals' Trey McBride: Remains active, but output lacking
McBride logged 34 of 66 offensive snaps and 24 more plays on special teams during Thursday's 42-34 win versus the Saints.
Selected in the second round of this year's draft, McBride made his pro debut Week 2 and has been a regular at tight end over the last four games, but his only tallies on offense so far occurred during a three-catch performance Week 4. He has logged time on special teams in all six appearances this season, but his first (and only) tackle in kick or punt coverage came Thursday. Considering Zach Ertz dominates snaps and targets at his position, McBride may continue his quiet ways for the foreseeable future.

Jonnu Smith TE | PIT
Patriots' Jonnu Smith: Practices fully Friday
Smith (ankle) returned to a full practice Friday.
With that, Smith is line to suit up Monday night against the Bears, though the tight end's weekly fantasy upside continues to be impacted by working in a timeshare with Hunter Henry. In five games to date, Smith has logged a total of nine catches on 13 targets for 119 yards.

Brevin Jordan TE | HOU
Texans' Brevin Jordan: Status in question for Week 7
Jordan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.
Jordan has been tending to an ankle issue since Week 2 prep and hasn't played since that game in Denver, but he may be poised for a return after capping this week with back-to-back full practices. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, and if Jordan is active he'll have to contend for targets with fellow tight ends O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins.

Durham Smythe TE | BAL
Dolphins' Durham Smythe: Considered questionable Sunday
Smythe (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Smythe was a limited participant in each of the Dolphins' three practice sessions this week, and his status for Sunday's primetime matchup is up in the air. He was unavailable for last week's matchup against the Vikings, and he'll likely split playing time with Mike Gesicki if he's available in Week 7.

Foster Moreau TE | HOU
Raiders' Foster Moreau: Set for more work in Week 7
Moreau (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Coming off a two-game absence and with the benefit of Las Vegas' Week 6 bye, Moreau put himself in position to return to action this weekend with a full practice Friday, which followed back-to-back capped sessions to start the week. With Darren Waller (hamstring) not playing Sunday, Moreau is in line to take on the bulk of the TE reps for the team this weekend. In his three appearances in 2022, Moreau has notched a 6-74-0 line on eight targets, of which the latter mark should increase in the short term.
-
Darren Waller TE | MIA
Raiders' Darren Waller: Won't play Sunday
Waller (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Waller, who didn't practice this week, thus will target a potential return to action Week 8 versus the Saints. In his absence this weekend, look for Foster Moreau (knee) -- who doesn't carry a designation for Week 7 -- to handle added tight end snaps and targets versus Houston.
-
Donald Parham Jr. TE | PIT
Chargers' Donald Parham: Sitting out in Week 7
Parham (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
In the wake of L.A.'s Week 6 win against the Broncos, Parham entered the concussion protocol and hasn't practiced in the meantime. With Parham's status confirmed for this weekend, rookie third-rounder Tre' McKitty and potentially Richard Rodgers are set to serve as the team's reserve tight ends behind starter Gerald Everett (illness).

Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Cowboys' Dalton Schultz: Cleared to face Lions
Schultz doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Schultz was a full practice participant throughout the week and gets QB Dak Prescott back in the lineup this Sunday, but it's tough to trust the tight end for fantasy after he had an in-game setback with his PCL injury Week 5 (10 snaps) and then a pregame setback Week 6 (zero snaps). While there's still time to get on track this season, Schultz has four targets and no catches since suffering the injury in a Week 2 win over Cincinnati.
