Schultz caught eight of nine targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.

Schultz kept things rolling with his second touchdown in as many weeks. The 23-year-old has combined for 16 receptions and 149 yards to go along with those two scores after hitting a bit of a midseason slump. The speedy tight end will look to keep things rolling in an important matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Moreau caught all four of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Broncos.

He led the Raiders in receiving yards on the afternoon, although Zay Jones saw more targets and had more receptions, and Hunter Renfrow was on the other end of Derek Carr's only TD. Moreau has managed a respectable 14-145-0 line on 19 targets over the last three games, but his run of modest fantasy value could end in Week 17 if Darren Waller (knee/back) is ready to return to action.

Higbee recorded five receptions on six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over Minnesota.

Higbee returned from a two-game absence while on the reserve/COVID-19 list and matched his season high with five receptions. He worked primarily in areas close to the line of scrimmage but did manage to record receptions of 12 and 11 yards. Higbee figures to remain a substantial part of the offense heading into a Week 17 matchup against Baltimore, though his volume also figures to be capped due to the presence of Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson.

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.
