Gentry caught four passes for 31 yards on four targets against Kansas City on Sunday.

The absence of Pat Freiermuth (concussion) left an opening for Gentry to see more work as a pass catcher, and the hulking tight end did his part with the usage. At 6-foot-8, 265 pounds with limited movement ability, this box score might mark something of a best-case scenario for Gentry, who more reliably makes his mark as a blocker.

Everett caught four of five targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

On a snowy day in Seattle, Everett wound up leading the Seahawks in receiving yards as Russell Wilson didn't have much success stretching the field. The tight end's third-quarter TD gave Seattle a 24-14 lead, but the defense faltered in the fourth. Everett is finding some chemistry with Wilson late in his first season with the club, scoring three touchdowns in the last five games, giving him some fantasy appeal in a Week 17 clash with the Lions.

Graham caught two passes for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Although he wasn't a factor for most of the game, Graham caught the game-winning touchdown from Nick Foles in the last minute of the contest. Although he's scored three touchdowns over the Bears' last five games, Graham only has eight receptions over that span, and he'll be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 17 against the Giants.

Kmet caught four passes for 49 yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Kmet was quiet throughout the first half before posting production while the Bears were mounting a late comeback. Although he didn't score, he was overthrown by Nick Foles in the end zone, and he was later upstaged by fellow tight end Jimmy Graham, who scored his third red-zone touchdown over the Bears' last five games. With at least 41 yards in four of his last five games, Kmet will be a high-floor fantasy option in Week 17 against the Giants.

Kroft caught three of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jaguars.

With fellow tight end Ryan Griffin (knee) among the multitude of inured Jets pass-catchers, Kroft finished second behind Braxton Berrios in targets, catches and receiving yards. Kroft's among the top targets left for quarterback Zach Wilson by default heading into the team's Week 17 game against the Buccaneers, but the veteran tight end hasn't caught more than three passes in a game this season.

Goedert secured two of four targets for 28 yards in the Eagles' 34-10 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Goedert's final line would have looked a lot better had he not had a 21-yard touchdown grab early in the third quarter been nullified by a holding penalty on Quez Watkins. The fourth-year tight end was coming off back-to-back 100-yard efforts, so to label his downturn Sunday as particularly disappointing, not to mention ill-timed, would be an understatement. Goedert will still have a chance to come through for fantasy managers in league championship games in a Week 17 road battle against Washington.

Wright caught three of three targets for four yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.

Wright got back in the box score after going catchless last week in Arizona, but all of his looks were at or near the line of scrimmage. While the loss of Shane Zylstra (knee) could cement him as Detroit's clear-cut No. 1 tight end, the Notre Dame product doesn't seem to have the skill set or role to be a worthwhile fantasy contributor in Week 17 against Seattle.

Andrews caught eight passes for 125 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets against Cincinnati on Sunday.

The game was something of a blowout with the Bengals winning 41-21, but this is still yet another impressive showing by Andrews. He had to play with third-string quarterback Josh Johnson and was likely the primary concern of the Bengals defense, yet Andrews put up his third straight game with over 100 yards receiving and at least one touchdown. The Rams seriously might want to consider placing Jalen Ramsey on Andrews in Week 17, lest the star tight end make it four games in a row with blistering production.

Pitts secured all six targets for 102 yards in the Falcons' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Pitts comfortably paced the Falcons in receptions and receiving yards while also boasting the team lead in targets. The rookie tight end's 100-yard effort was his first since Week 7 versus Miami and third overall of his first NFL season, and it extended a streak of Pitts upping his yardage total over that of the prior contest to four games. The 21-year-old's catch total also was his highest since that aforementioned contest against the Dolphins, affording him plenty of momentum going into a Week 17 road matchup with the Bills.

Moreau is in line to continue to head the Raiders' tight end corps in Sunday's game against the Broncos, with Darren Waller (knee/back) inactive.

With Waller missing his fourth straight game, Moreau will look to build off his effort in this past Monday's win over the Browns, in which he caught seven of his nine targets for 65 yards, while playing all 69 of the Raiders' snaps on offense. He figures to remain busy once again Sunday, with the team down another key pass catcher (Bryan Edwards/reserve/COVID-19 list) in addition to Waller.
