Graham was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Graham missed two games after being placed on the list as a result of having tested positive for the virus. The veteran tight end is now free to return to team facilities, and therefore to take the field for the Bears' upcoming matchup against Pittsburgh on Nov. 8. During the first six weeks of the season, however, Graham only drew three targets.

Dissly wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.

Dissly didn't receive a target for a second straight week. He now has 12 targets through eight games, translating to 10 receptions for 118 yards and a score. Dissly needs to find the end zone to be fantasy relevant, but that will be tough as long as Gerald Everett is healthy.

Everett caught one of two targets for seven yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.

Everett out-snapped Will Dissly 44-36 but failed to get involved much on offense. The 2017 second-round pick only produced 77 yards and a touchdown over three games even with Russell Wilson (finger) under center, so his lack of production lately likely isn't a factor of working with Geno Smith. Still, Wilson's possible Week 10 return would raise the ceiling of all Seattle pass-catchers.

Thomas caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

Thomas saw rookie Tommy Tremble outperform him for the second straight game, but neither tight end is particularly useful from a fantasy perspective. Through eight games, Thomas now sports just 11 catches on 17 targets for 130 yards and no touchdowns.

Tremble caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

Tremble trailed only DJ Moore in receptions on the Panthers. Even though his overall production wasn't anything special, Tremble's catch total actually marked a new career best, an encouraging development for the rookie.

Jordan caught three of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-22 loss to the Rams.

With Pharaoh Brown (thigh) inactive, Jordan was active for the first time this season, and the rookie fifth-round draft pick showed promise. He's a better receiver than blocker, which makes him somewhat redundant alongside Jordan Akins, but as the Texans prepare for the future it would make sense for them to get Jordan in the lineup and let him develop over the second half of the season.

Seals-Jones caught two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.

Seals-Jones made his fourth consecutive start and played 100 percent of offensive snaps for a third straight week. He's been in a full-time role ever since Logan Thomas hurt his hamstring in the first quarter of Washington's Week 4 contest, with Seals-Jones averaging 3.8 catches for 36.2 yards on 6.0 targets over that five-game stretch. He may revert to a backup role after a Week 9 bye, with Thomas hoping to make it back from injured reserve for Week 10 against Tampa Bay.

Bryant caught both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to Pittsburgh.

On a day when quarterback Baker Mayfield had issues connecting with wide receivers, Cleveland's tight ends picked up the slack. Bryant, Austin Hooper and David Njoku combined to catch nine of 11 targets. Bryant has nine catches on 14 targets for 117 yards without a score through eight contests.

Njoku caught all three of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Steelers.

Since breaking out in Week 5, Njoku has been a minor part of Cleveland's offense. In three subsequent games, the tight end has six catches for 63 yards and zero touchdowns. On a positive note, he's caught 83.3 percent of his targets and is averaging 16.2 yards per catch.

Hooper caught four of six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to Pittsburgh.

The six targets were a season high for Hooper, who also had a pair of red-zone looks and leads Cleveland with eight targets inside the 20. Despite preseason talk of the Browns utilizing him more this season, Hooper is seeing two fewer targets per game than he did in 2020.
