Uzomah caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.

The tight end didn't see much action on a day in which Joe Mixon dominated the Las Vegas front seven and what passes Joe Burrow did make mostly went to Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase. Uzomah has topped 35 receiving yards only twice all year, but both times he hit for over 90 yards and hauled in two TDs, making him a boom or bust option heading into a Week 12 clash with the Steelers.

Everett caught three passes for 37 yards on four targets against Arizona on Sunday.

Everett was Seattle's second-leading producer of receiving yardage behind Tyler Lockett (115), so it was generally a difficult day for the Seahawks passing game. While it reflects well on Everett that he produced efficiently, the volume wasn't enough to make much of an impact. The Seattle offense hasn't made much room for tight-end pass-catching functions to this point in the year, and that's without factoring in the workload split between Everett and Will Dissly (one catch for 16 yards on three targets).

Hooper recorded four receptions on seven targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Lions.

Hooper tied for the team lead with four receptions and was out-targeted by only Jarvis Landry. As has become customary, he worked primarily in the short areas of the field. On the other hand, he managed two receptions of exactly 20 yards after entering the game with only one gain of at least 20 yards on the campaign. In the three contests since Odell Beckham's departure, Hooper has seen a combined 14 targets for 10 receptions, 92 yards and a touchdown.

Hill was active but did not record a snap during Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles.

After managing just one practice this week due to a foot injury, Hill's lack of offensive involvement isn't a huge surprise. Of much bigger concern is the fact that Trevor Siemian has a stranglehold on quarterback duties in the absence of Jameis Winston (knee). It will be interesting to see if Hill gets mixed in down the stretch, but for now it seems as if the Saints prefer keeping him in a gadget role.

Ertz caught eight passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets against Seattle on Sunday.

The Arizona passing game appeared in peril heading into this game due to the absences of Kyler Murray (ankle) and DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring), but Ertz stepped up and abused the Seattle defense even with Colt McCoy at quarterback. It won't be as easy for Ertz to stay consistently involved when Hopkins returns, but at the very least the tight end has shown that he has enough in the tank to step up to a leading role if any of the other pass catchers are missing.

Conklin caught all three of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Packers.

Conklin fell back down to earth following his two-touchdown game in Week 10, finishing fifth in targets among Minnesota receiving options. The 25-year-old is still the clear-cut starter for the Vikings and has provided deep-league value with 388 yards and three touchdowns through 10 contests. Conklin will have his work cut out for him against the 49ers' athletic coverage linebackers next Sunday.

Andrews brought in eight of 10 targets for 73 yards in the Ravens' 16-13 win over the Bears on Sunday.

The star tight end easily paced the Ravens' pass catchers in receptions, receiving yards and targets while showing immediate chemistry with emergency starter Tyler Huntley. Andrews has been trending in the right direction of late, upping his catch and yardage totals over that of the prior contest for three straight weeks. Andrews should once again serve as a key target irrespective of who's under center for a Week 12 AFC North clash against the Browns.

Gesicki caught five of six targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Jets.

This was by no means a flashy effort, but Gesicki's fantasy managers will gladly take it after he was blanked by Baltimore last week. The 26-year-old tight end has been held without a catch twice this season, but he's surpassed 40 receiving yards in all nine other games during the campaign, giving Gesicki one of the highest floors at his position heading into a Week 12 visit from the Panthers.

Knox caught six of 10 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 41-15 loss to the Colts.

Knox set season highs in catches and targets while posting his second-highest yardage total of the campaign. The tight end hasn't found the end zone since Week 5 after scoring five touchdowns through five games, but that scoring drought won't last much longer if Knox's involvement Sunday is any indication of his upcoming usage. Knox will be right back out there Thursday for a Thanksgiving showdown with the Saints.

Trautman brought in five of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 40-29 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

The second-year pro now has drawn 27 targets over the last four games, with Trevor Siemian clearly prioritizing him when dropping back. Trautman's 18-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter also was the second of his career, with the first having come way back in Week 9 against the Buccaneers last season. Trautman's next opportunity to build on his recent momentum comes quickly, as the Saints host the Bills for an interconference showdown on Thanksgiving night in Week 12.
