Johnson caught two of three targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to Tennessee.

Johnson's season seemed to hit a low point when he was a healthy scratch in Week 9 following three straight games in which he saw only one target. However, the converted wideout was back on the game-day roster and produced one of the longest gains of the day for the Saints' sputtering offense. The 25-year-old will look to stay involved in Week 11 against the Eagles, who have been among the weakest units at defending tight ends in 2021.

Trautman caught five of six targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to Tennessee.

While the final results weren't great, the heightened usage continues for Trautman with Trevor Siemian under center. After totaling 13 targets in seven games with Jameis Winston, Trautman has now seen 19 in three games with Siemian. While this increased attention has yet to translate to significant fantasy production, few other tight ends around the league have seen more opportunities over the past few weeks. With the Eagles' leaky defense on deck in Week 11, Trautman could be worth a roll of the dice for TE-needy fantasy managers.

Hill completed two of two passes for 11 yards while rushing three times for 23 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to Tennessee.

Hill had to check into the medical tent at one point, but he's not believed to be dealing with any significant injury. Of bigger concern is the fact that the Saints have given the vast majority of work under center to Trevor Siemian in the wake of Jameis Winston's (knee) season-ending injury. Barring a change in roles, Hill's fantasy value will remain muted headed into a Week 11 matchup with Philadelphia.

Wright secured his only target for two yards during Sunday's 16-16 tie with Pittsburgh.

With Darren Fells now in Tampa Bay, Wright is the second tight end on the depth chart under T.J. Hockenson. However, the 6-foot-7, 281-pound blocking specialist is unlikely to become a productive receiving threat at any point down the road.

Hockenson was targeted once but he did not record a catch during Sunday's 16-16 tie with the Steelers.

It is not believed that Hockenson was dealing with any sort of injury. Instead, it seemed like he was yet again victim to Detroit's Jared Goff-led passing attack that generated 114 yards on the day. Since Hockenson entered the week averaging eight targets per game with 31 targets in his previous three games, fantasy managers should expect some sort of rebound in Week 11 against Cleveland, but this outing should be a reminder that the floor for even Goff's best pass catchers is apparently zero in any given week.

Conklin caught three of five targets for 11 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

He didn't see a lot of action between the 20s, but the tight end caught a five-yard TD strike from Kirk Cousins in the second quarter and a one-yard score in the third, accounting for both the QB's touchdowns on the afternoon. Conklin came into the game with only one TD on the year, but he's seen at least five targets in four straight games, giving his fantasy value some stability heading into a Week 11 clash with the Packers.

Everett caught eight passes on eight targets for 63 yards against Green Bay on Sunday.

Everett wasn't explosive, but he was automatic with his targets and was the sole means of moving the chains for Seattle on Sunday. Part of that was due to the poor play of Russell Wilson (finger) -- DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett were both shut down by Wilson's inaccuracy, and that probably funneled some usage toward Everett. He'll try to keep the momentum going against Arizona in Week 11.

Ertz caught four of six targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Panthers.

Ertz trailed only Christian Kirk for Arizona's lead in all major receiving categories. However, with the Cardinals offense short-handed, there wasn't much production to go around overall. Still, in four games since arriving via trade, Ertz has managed at least three catches each week, offering a decent complement within the passing game. Looking ahead to Week 11's matchup versus the Seahawks, Ertz and company could welcome both star quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and wideout DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) back to the fold, potentially elevating the offense's upside.

Arnold secured five of seven targets for 67 yards in the Jaguars' 23-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

The journeyman tight end continued to prove an excellent fit in the Jaguars' passing attack, notching team highs in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second in targets. Arnold now has between four and eight receptions and at least 60 yards in each of his last three games, keeping him viable in all formats for a Week 11 home matchup against the 49ers.

Goedert (head) won't return to Sunday's game in Denver.

Goedert was evaluated for a head injury following a hit to the helmet from Broncos safety Justin Simmons in the first quarter. The Eagles have yet to confirm that Goedert suffered a concussion, but he'll finish this contest with two catches (on two targets) for 28 yards. Philadelphia will have just Jack Stoll and Tyree Jackson at tight end for the rest of Week 10.
