  • Foster Moreau TE | HOU

    Raiders' Foster Moreau: Role declining since Waller return

    Moreau played 21 of the Raiders' 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs but didn't draw a target or record any other statistics.

    Since putting up a 6-60-1 receiving line on six targets in a starting role during the Raiders' Week 7 win over the Eagles, Moreau predictably has seen his opportunities decline following top tight end Darren Waller's return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. In Las Vegas' two games since its Week 8 bye, Moreau has ran only 23 pass routes and hasn't been targeted, according to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press.

  • Mo Alie-Cox TE | IND

    Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Just one reception Sunday

    Alie-Cox had one reception for six yards on two targets in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.

    Alie-Cox played on 35 of the offense's 64 snaps but went out for a pass on just 17 snaps. While he ran slightly fewer routes than usual, it was also a game where the Colts emphasized the run. Still, it looked like Alie-Cox was emerging as the top tight end in the passing game over Jack Doyle, but Doyle has six receptions and two touchdowns in the last three games compared to two receptions and no touchdowns for Alie-Cox. Since they've both had the typical pattern of playing time, it remains a guessing game which tight end may be a factor through the air and in the red zone.

  • Football Team's Ricky Seals-Jones: Labeled as day-to-day

    Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Seals-Jones (hip) is considered day-to-day, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Rivera revealed Monday that Seals-Jones has been dealing with a hip issue throughout the season, and he aggravated the injury in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. While it doesn't appear as though the injury is a long-term concern, John Bates and Sammis Reyes should see increased work if Seals-Jones and Logan Thomas (IR/hamstring) are unavailable for Sunday's game against Carolina.

  • Sean McKeon TE | IND

    Cowboys' Sean McKeon: Makes first two grabs of NFL career

    McKeon caught both his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons.

    With Blake Jarwin (hip) on injured reserve, McKeon has slid into the No. 2 tight end role for Dallas, and Sunday's receptions were the first of his career. The second-year player will retain a bit part in a potent Cowboys offense until Jarwin gets healthy, making McKeon a potential deep league dart throw Week 11 against Kansas City.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Cowboys' Dalton Schultz: Only one catch in rout

    Schultz caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons.

    Dak Prescott attempted 31 passes on the afternoon (with four more coming from Ezekiel Elliott on a trick play and then Cooper Rush on the final couple drives of a blowout win), but Schultz was an afterthought in the offense as he tied for his season low in targets. It's not yet clear whether his reduction in volume was due to this particular matchup, or Michael Gallup's return to action -- or a bit of both -- but Schultz suddenly seems a lot riskier heading into a Week 11 clash with Kansas City.

  • Tyler Davis TE | NE

    Packers' Tyler Davis: Catches first career pass

    Davis was targeted once and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 17-0 victory over the Seahawks.

    Davis played a season-high 12 snaps Sunday with fellow tight end Dominique Dafney (hamstring) sidelined, and he was able to record his first career reception in the contest. While Davis was more involved Sunday, he still finished third among Packers tight ends in snaps, and he figures to continue filling only a bit role.

  • Josiah Deguara TE | ARI

    Packers' Josiah Deguara: Plays season-high 25 snaps

    Deguara was targeted three times and caught two passes for nine yards in Sunday's 17-0 victory over the Seahawks.

    Deguara didn't provide much help for anyone that threw a dart at him in fantasy contests, but he did play a season-high 25 snaps in Sunday's contest. His role has expanded some since Robert Tonyan (knee) was lost for the season, and he now has two receptions in three straight games after catching just two passes all season prior to that. It could be tough for him to do much more than that Week 11, as he'll remain behind Marcedes Lewis on the depth chart and face a Vikings defense that has allowed tight ends to average a measly 2.8 receptions and 30.5 yards over its last six games.

  • Marcedes Lewis TE | DEN

    Packers' Marcedes Lewis: Targeted twice in victory

    Lewis was targeted twice and caught two passes for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-0 victory over the Seahawks.

    Lewis was on the field for more than half the plays the Packers ran Week 10, but even with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers returning, he was limited mainly to blocking duties like he usually is. Chances are Rodgers at least will try to find Lewis in the end zone at some point, as several times over the past two seasons the veteran tight end was rewarded for his thankless work. However, don't expect that to happen Week 11, as the Packers face a Vikings team that hasn't allowed opposing tight ends to find the end zone even once all season.

  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Seahawks' Will Dissly: Registers 22 yards

    Dissly caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 17-0 loss to the Packers.

    Dissly lost six yards on a catch in the first quarter but rumbled for 28 yards on his second catch of the game in the second quarter. The fourth-year tight end hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 1, and he has registered just 12 receptions for 140 yards and a score thus far.

  • Titans' Anthony Firkser: Remains quiet

    Firkser recorded one reception on two targets for two yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints.

    Firkser remained buried on the Titans' tight end depth chart and his only catch came early in the first quarter. He has now been limited to one reception for five straight games and has surpassed 10 receiving yards only once in that span.
