Hockenson (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Packers.

Hockenson thus will miss the final two contests of the 2025 campaign due to a shoulder injury, finishing it with 51 catches (on 66 targets) for 438 yards and three touchdowns in 15 appearances. He has no guaranteed money on his current contract for next season, but $2.308 million of it does vest as of March 17, so the Vikings seemingly have a decision to make on the 28-year-old's future in the coming months.

Tremble caught three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

With Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, IR) out for the Week 18 divisional matchup, Tremble assumed more of a receiving role in the Panthers' tight end room. The Notre Dame product finished as Carolina's third-leading receiver and caught Bryce Young's first touchdown pass of the day. Tremble has appeared in all 17 of the Panthers' regular-season games this year, catching 27 of 37 targets for 249 yards and two touchdowns. Carolina now needs Atlanta to beat New Orleans on Sunday to force a three-way tie for the NFC South title. In that scenario, the Panthers would hold the tiebreaker and make the playoffs as the NFC's No. 4 seed.

Pitts (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts has been deemed available for the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Pitts will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the tight end could carry more playing-time risk than usual since he's nursing an injury and the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like Pitts, wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Herbert's first elevation of the season will not lead to any snaps. The Jaguars have decided to go with Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris at tight end, meaning Herbert's talents will not be required for the regular-season finale.

Long (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Long will be a healthy scratch yet again. The tight end's regular season will end with 12 receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets.

Grandy (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Grandy logged a full session Friday and was listed as questionable. However, that wasn't enough to be cleared for game action, and he'll miss a second consecutive contest to end the campaign. The undrafted tight end will finish his second NFL season with two receptions for seven yards across 28 offensive snaps.

Kittle recorded five receptions on seven targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Kittle returned from a one-game absence and tied for the team lead in targets. His only impactful play was a 20-yard catch early in the fourth quarter, though his lack of production was more a product of the 49ers' overall struggles rather than his own. Kittle battled multiple lower-body injuries throughout the regular season, though he ended the campaign with at least seven targets and five receptions in each of his last three games.

The Lions elevated Horton from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Horton has spent his entire season on the Lions' practice squad, and Saturday's elevation is his second of the season. He played 14 total snaps in Week 13 -- eight of which came on offense -- but he wasn't targeted.

Otton secured seven of nine targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 16-14 win over the Panthers on Saturday.

Otton comfortably set the pace for the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and the middle figure was also a new season high. The fourth-year pro delivered multiple key catches, including an 18-yard TD grab to open the scoring in the first quarter, as well as a 20-yard reception just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter that helped Tampa Bay burn some precious time while nursing a two-point lead. Otton's touchdown was his first of the season, and he finished the 2025 regular-season campaign with a career-high-tying 59 receptions and the second-highest receiving yardage total of his four seasons (572).

Conner was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Conner joined the Giants' practice squad in mid-December after being let go by Miami multiple times. He should have the chance to be active due to Theo Johnson (illness) being ruled out, though Conner will likely be buried on the depth chart.
