Andrews caught 10 of 13 targets for 136 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Packers.

Andrews once again was fill-in quarterback Tyler Huntley's favorite outlet downfield, which was clear from the start, as the tight end went for a season-long, 43-yard catch on Baltimore's first drive. He sustained his impact afterward, consistently getting the better of opposing safety Darnell Savage, and scored his respective touchdowns from eight and nine yards prior to halftime. Although Andrews was unsuccessfully targeted on a two-point conversion attempt for the win late in the fourth, he nonetheless enjoyed another dominant performance, as he's now managed at least 10 catches for 115 yards and a score in consecutive games. Regardless of whether starting signal-caller Lamar Jackson (ankle) returns in Week 16 versus the Bengals, Andrews will enter that matchup in fantastic form.

Kittle hauled in all six of his targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over Atlanta.

Kittle finally cooled off this week after posting some gaudy fantasy totals (22-332-3) over his last two games. The star tight end's midseason surge has helped his team go 5-2 since his return from IR back in Week 9. Kittle was dealing with a minor knee injury during practice this week, so we will see if he receives an injury designation on a short week leading up to Thursday's matchup with the Titans.

Schultz brought in all eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Schultz led the way for the Cowboys' pass-catching corps in receptions and receiving yards while falling just a target short of CeeDee Lamb's team-leading nine. The fourth-year pro's catch total was also a season high, and the entire performance represented a particularly timely resurgence after Schultz had delivered a season-worst 1-4-0 line against Washington in Week 14. Now seemingly back on track, the sure-handed tight end's next opportunity to deliver for managers in the fantasy postseason comes in a Week 16 home matchup against Washington.

Gesicki caught five of eight targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.

Gesicki tied DeVante Parker for the team lead in targets but trailed both Parker (68) and Isaiah Ford (51) in receiving yards. The tight end has been reliable but far from spectacular, as he's topped 40 yards while coming up short of 60 in eight of 14 games this season. All told, Gesicki has 64 catches for 685 yards and two touchdowns heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Saints.

Ertz (hamstring) caught six of 11 targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to Detroit.

Ertz was a late addition to the injury report Friday but didn't seem hampered by the hamstring injury, ranking second behind Christian Kirk in catches, targets and receiving yards. The 11 targets were a season high for the veteran tight end, who should continue to play a prominent pass-catching role in Week 16 against the Colts with top wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) having been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season.

Freiermuth (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Freiermuth caught all four of his targets for 37 yards. In his absence, Zach Gentry is next in line for the Steelers' tight end snaps.

Freiermuth exited Sunday's game against the Titans to be evaluated for a concussion, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Freiermuth totaled four catches for 37 yards before leaving the contest during the third quarter. Zach Gentry will work as Pittsburgh's No. 1 tight end while Freiermuth is sidelined.

Seals-Jones didn't participate in Sunday's practice due to an illness, making his status uncertain for Tuesday's game against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Washington hasn't placed Seals-Jones on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but his situation will bear watching over the next two days with 13 members of the Football Team roster still residing on the list as of Sunday. John Bates worked with the first-team offense at Friday's practice and would be in line to start at tight end if Seals-Jones can't gain clearance for Tuesday's game. Washington would likely elevate fullback Alex Armah from the practice squad to provide depth at the position behind Bates in that scenario.

Hollister is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Hollister hasn't seen game action since Week 6 but will suit up for the first game with interim coach Darrell Bevell leading the way. The 28-year-old should work as the No. 3 tight end in place of Luke Farrell, who is a healthy scratch Sunday.

Farrell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Farrell will be inactive for the second time this season with interim coach Darrell Bevell now leading the Jaguars. Jacob Hollister will instead serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end behind James O'Shaughnessy and Chris Manhertz.
