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.

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.

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.

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.

Bates caught each of his three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 29-19 win over Tampa Bay, playing a career-high 47 snaps due to Ricky Seals-Jones' hip injury.

A rookie fourth-round pick, Bates has now climbed from third to first on the depth chart with Seals-Jones joining starter Logan Thomas (IR/hamstring) on the shelf. However, it isn't clear if Seals-Jones' hip injury is serious, nor is it certain that Thomas will miss additional time beyond Week 10. Bates was timed at 4.84 in the 40-yard dash and never reached even 300 yards in a season at Boise State, suggesting his receiving contributions won't match Seals-Jones' recent performance even if the rookie temporarily handles a three-down role in Week 11 at Carolina.

Tremble caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals.

Tremble played nearly 70 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, but he primarily contributed from a run-blocking standpoint. The rookie is good for a catch or two per game but isn't featured enough to hold much fantasy value.

Bryant caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-7 loss to the Patriots.

Bryant played through a thigh injury for a second straight week and caught every ball thrown to him, including his first red-zone target of the season. Cleveland throws to its tight ends more than any other position when inside the 20 -- Austin Hooper and David Njoku have combined for 18 of the team's 36 red-zone targets -- but given that competition it's no surprise Bryant still seeks his first touchdown of the season.

Njoku caught one of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 45-7 loss to the Patriots.

Njoku nearly had a touchdown on the Browns' first series, but he failed to hold onto a pass in the back of the end zone, allowing the ball to be knocked from his hands. It was a tough day for the Cleveland offense, which did nothing after its scripted first drive which resulted in a touchdown. Quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee/shoulder) was off all day, even during the scoring drive when he completed only three of six attempts. The quarterback's lone pick came on a pass to Njoku, who may have been expected to come back for the ball but didn't. The silver lining is that Cleveland's tight ends have received nearly as many targets as the team's wideouts since Odell Beckham was cut loose. The downside is that all three tight ends are used significantly and it's hard to predict which one will be a fantasy producer in any given week.

Knox, who returned from a two-game absence due to a fracture in his hand, caught his only target for 17 yards in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.

The output is disappointing in a game during which Josh Allen threw for 366 yards, but at least Knox didn't have any setbacks and he did look like his rumbling self on the 17-yard pickup. He should see more looks in the offense as he moves past the injury and as the Bills' schedule starts to get tougher, beginning next week with a home game against the Colts.

Waller had four receptions (seven targets) for 24 yards in Sunday's 41-14 loss to Kansas City.

This was Waller's worst fantasy performance through eight starts this season. The Chiefs were clearly shading extra coverage the tight end's way, especially once the game script forced the Raiders to become one-dimensional. The recent addition of vertical threat DeSean Jackson (one catch for 38 yards) could help take the pressure off of Waller as the veteran gets more integrated into the offensive gameplan. Next Sunday's opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, currently allow the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
