Alie-Cox recorded three receptions on five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Raiders.

Alie-Cox matched his highest target total of the season, though he wasn't able to deliver major production with the opportunity. He did manage a pair of double-digit gains that went for 17 and 10 yards. Though Jack Doyle was active after dealing with ankle and knee issues throughout the week, he may have suited up at less than full strength. If that remains the case for a Week 18 matchup against Jacksonville, Alie-Cox could maintain some increased volume.

Moreau recorded one reception on one target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts.

Moreau served as the Raiders' top tight end once again in the absence of Darren Waller (knee/back/illness), though he failed to take on a significant role. His lone reception came on the team's final drive, though it did help move the ball down the field for the game-winning field goal. Looking ahead, Moreau could be even more limited in his role in Week 18 against the Chargers if Waller is ready to return to the field.

Hill completed 17 of 28 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown and added 45 rushing yards on 12 carries in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Panthers.

The QB was the Saints' leading rusher on the afternoon, but it was still a modest performance from a fantasy perspective as the team once again relied on its defense for a victory. Hill will look to end his regular season on a high note, and potentially lead New Orleans into the playoffs, in Week 18 against the Falcons.

Fant caught six of seven targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Chargers.

He was the Broncos' leading receiver on the afternoon, although his five-yard TD late in the fourth quarter did little but boost his fantasy production. Fant has set new career highs in catches (67) and touchdowns (four) this season, and he needs only 20 more receiving yards in Week 18 against Kansas City to reach a new personal best in that category as well.

Yeboah caught both of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay.

Yeboah came off the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week and immediately jumped to the top of the Jets' tight end depth chart with Tyler Kroft entering COVID protocol himself. The undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss registered his first two catches here in what was his eighth NFL game, but this was just the second time Yeboah actually got to play snaps on offense.

Dissly injured his heel in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

"(Dissly) banged his heel," coach Pete Carroll said. "He's got a heel bruise or something. I'm not sure what it is right now." The backup tight end had one catch for eight yards before getting hurt. Dissly's status for the team's Week 18 trip to Arizona is up in the air.

Kittle caught one of two targets for 29 yards and had one carry for six yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over Houston.

Kittle saw little action for the second week in a row, this time with rookie quarterback Trey Lance under center. Head coach Kyle Shanahan tried to get his star tight end involved with his third rushing attempt of the season, but it did little to raise his action in the passing game. Kittle finally got involved late in the second half with an incredible one-handed catch for 29 yards. His only other target came on a poor throw into double coverage by Lance that was picked off. While this recent slump is concerning for those with Kittle shares, it would be tough to recommend bypassing such an elite playmaking talent against the Rams in Week 18.

Graham failed to catch his only target in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Graham broke a string of seven straight games in which he caught one or two passes. He'll likely be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

James caught his only target for four yards in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

This is just the third time this season that James has posted a reception in a game, and he won't be a recommended fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

Goedert recorded six receptions on seven targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.

Goedert has fluctuated between being Jalen Hurts' favorite target and hardly being a part of the offense in recent weeks. He served in the former role Sunday and led the team in targets, yards and receptions. His performance was highlighted by four gains of more than 10 yards, with the only thing missing being a trip to the end zone. If Goedert is able to tally three catches in Week 18 against Dallas, he'll set a new career high for catches in a campaign. He currently has 56 grabs on the season.
