  • Isaiah Likely TE | NYG

    Ravens' Isaiah Likely: One catch vs Jets

    Likely caught one pass for 10 yards on three targets Sunday against the Jets.

    A calf issue limited Likely in practice during the week, but he was able to suit up and play a healthy 57 percent of the snaps. Likely's production has waned this year; he's averaging 6.7 yards per target and is drawing a target on just 15.4 percent of his routes, which marks a 5.3 percent drop from last year. He has a mere 63.2 percent catch rate and a 5.3 percent drop rate. Baltimore draws a favorable matchup Thursday against Cincinnati, which could reverse Likely's fortunes a bit, however.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Catchless again Week 12

    Bellinger did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

    Bellinger saw a relatively large 62 percent offensive snap share, but he finished without a reception for the second straight week. Meanwhile, top TE Theo Johnson finished second on the team with 77 receiving yards on three catches and has now reached the 75-yard mark in two of his past three games. With Johnson building momentum, it seems likely that Bellinger will continue to have a minimal role in the passing attack moving forward.

  • Cowboys' Brevyn Spann-Ford: Catches first career TD

    Spann-Ford caught his only target for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

    The second-year tight end barely kept his balance after colliding with Andrew Mukuba to haul in his first career NFL touchdown on a designed rollout by Dak Prescott in the third quarter. Spann-Ford's role on offense remains limited -- he has yet to see more than one target in any game this season en route to a 5-22-1 line on six targets through 11 games -- and even if something were to happen to starter Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker (8-63-0 on 16 targets this season) might remain ahead of him on the depth chart.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Usage regression continues

    Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.

    Despite Tyler Higbee (ankle) going on injured reserve, Ferguson's reduced role didn't expand, as he took the field for just 15 snaps on offense. Colby Parkinson secured all four of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown, and Davis Allen tacked on three catches and 29 yards with his four targets. Until Ferguson earns more playing time, his opportunity for the explosive plays he's showcased in limited usage this season (27.6 YPC on five catches) will be scant, making him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: Bounces back from zero-catch outing

    Allen secured three of four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.

    A week removed from being blanked against the Seahawks, Allen helped fill the void left by Tyler Higbee (ankle) going on injured reserve. Colby Parkinson extended his touchdown streak to three games with a second-quarter touchdown grab, but Allen has also shown a nose for the end zone in 2025, notching three touchdowns of his own. Allen hasn't produced more than 37 yards in any contest this season, however, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option as the Rams travel to take on the Panthers in Week 13.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Reaches end zone against Bears

    Freiermuth secured all three of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-28 loss to Chicago.

    Although Freiermuth continued to split work at tight end Week 12, he scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter to bring the Steelers within three points. The touchdown was his fourth of the season, but he's now been held under 20 receiving yards in back-to-back weeks. Freiermuth's fantasy potential this season has been dependent on his ability to reach the end zone, and he's secured 26 of 32 targets for 298 yards and four scores over his first 11 appearances in 2025.

  • Jonnu Smith TE | PIT

    Steelers' Jonnu Smith: Five touches against Chicago

    Smith secured all three of his targets for 21 yards while rushing twice for seven yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

    Smith had totaled just four receiving yards over his last two appearances, but he bounced back slightly Week 12. He matched his season-high mark in yards from scrimmage but continues to split work with fellow tight ends Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth, which limits all of their fantasy upside.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Racks up 22 yards in loss

    Washington secured both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to Chicago.

    Washington had just two catches in Sunday's defeat while fellow tight ends Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth each had three receptions. However, Washington led the group in receiving yards and logged the most snaps of the trio, as he was on the field for 68 percent of the team's offensive plays compared to Smith's 49 percent and Freiermuth's 47 percent. Although Washington had some factors that slightly mitigated his disappointing performance, his fantasy upside is limited since he's split work with Smith and Freiermuth for most of the season.

  • Colts' Drew Ogletree: Nabs touchdown catch in loss

    Ogletree had two receptions for eight yards, including a four-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.

    Ogletree's performance came out of nowhere as he had just one target all season before Sunday. He played about his usual number of snaps on offense (11 of 51), so this may be an outlier performance. However, the Colts were coming off a bye week, so there's a chance the coaching staff plan to make him more a part of the passing game going forward.

  • T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN

    Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Four receptions in loss

    Hockenson had four receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

    J.J. McCarthy's abysmal play at quarterback (87 yards passing, two interceptions) has made almost every Vikings receiver a non-factor for fantasy purposes. Hockensen at least is getting some dump-off passes (seven receptions in the last two games), but they are not resulting in much yardage. Hockenson's outlook isn't any better next week in a tough matchup at Seattle.
