Moreau caught one of three targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

Moreau's three targets all came within a two-drive span during the third quarter, so he was relatively uninvolved in the Raiders' underwhelming aerial attack throughout much of Sunday's contest despite the absence of No. 1 tight end Darren Waller (back/knee). Moreau has caught just three total passes since the team's Week 8 bye, but he could see another inflated snap count at Kansas City in Week 14 if Waller remains sidelined.

Fant caught all four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to Kansas City.

Javonte Williams (102 rushing yards and 76 receiving yards) shouldered the load on offense, resulting in lackluster outputs from the majority of Denver's receiving unit. Fant was providing some fantasy value earlier in the season, but the tight end has seen his production drop off of late, as he's averaging 3.8 receptions and 30.2 receiving yards over his last five contests. The 23-year-old will attempt to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Lions next Sunday.

Kelce had three receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Broncos.

The Broncos seemed committed to limiting the Chiefs' top two offensive options, and the strategy was effective in keeping the score close for the majority of the contest. This also resulted in a poor fantasy showing from Kelce, who produced his worst fantasy line this year in formats that award any points for receptions. The 31-year-old has responded with 50-plus yards and a touchdown in each of the two games following duds like Sunday's, so look for Kelce to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Raiders next week.

Kittle caught nine of 12 targets for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks.

With Deebo Samuel (groin) sidelined, it was Kittle who stepped up and re-established himself as Jimmy Garoppolo's top option in the passing game, setting season highs for catches, targets and receiving yards while producing only his second 100-yard effort of the year. The touchdowns were nothing new for the star tight end, however, as he's found the end zone five times in five games since returning to action from a calf injury. He'll look to keep his momentum going in Week 14 against the Bengals.

Thomas "likely" tore his ACL and MCL during Sunday's victory over the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. He caught three of five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown before departing with the knee injury.

Thomas will undergo more tests on his knee when his team returns home from Las Vegas, but the initial reports about Thomas' injury aren't promising. In the likely event Thomas is done for the season, Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) and John Bates will split the bulk of the work at tight end in some fashion.

Andrews caught four of nine targets for 50 yards during Sunday's 20-19 loss in Pittsburgh.

It was a modest showing for one of Lamar Jackson's favorite targets, but Andrews still recorded at least four receptions and 50-plus yards for the 10th time in 12 chances this season. Unfortunately for Andrews, Jackson managed just one TD -- it went to Sammy Watkins with 12 seconds left -- and the quarterback's ensuing two-point conversion attempt slipped through the tight end's fingers. With a visit to the Browns on tap next Sunday, Andrews will look to replicate the line (4-65-1 on 10 targets) from the team's first matchup with its division rival from one week ago.

Ertz secured one of two targets for 10 yards in the Cardinals' 33-22 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Ertz and the rest of the pass-catching corps had a very quiet afternoon, with the returning Kyler Murray putting the ball up only 15 times. The veteran tight end's downturn notwithstanding, he's already proven an excellent fit in the Cardinals' offense, posting a 22-269-3 line on 29 targets in his first five games in Arizona prior to Sunday.

Wright caught two of three targets for 28 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 29-27 win over Minnesota.

Running as the No. 2 tight end behind T.J. Hockenson, Wright took advantage of a Vikings defense without top linebackers Eric Kendricks or Anthony Barr to score his first career touchdown. However, he's caught a pass in just half of his first six career games since the undrafted tight end was first promoted from the practice squad in late October. Wright would need to build upon this performance in a big way in order to enter the fantasy conversation.

Higbee caught five passes for 48 yards on six targets Sunday in the Rams' 37-7 win over the Jaguars.

Higbee did his part to stabilize the Rams' passing game and move the chains Sunday, though the lack of explosiveness has proven a constant limitation in his box scores throughout the year. The 48 yards is his third-highest single-game yardage total of the season, with his highest mark being just 68 yards in Week 1. This usage tendency generally leaves Higbee dependent on touchdowns for useful fantasy point totals, but with just three on the year it's difficult to count on Higbee offsetting his modest yardage totals with scoring production. The Rams go to Arizona to face the Cardinals in Week 14, and in their Week 4 matchup Higbee caught four passes for 36 yards on six targets.

Engram recorded four receptions on five targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Dolphins.

Engram was able to take advantage of several absences among the Giants' receiving corps to lead the team in receiving yards. He overcame a largely dysfunctional Giants offense to record four double-digit gains, ranging from 10 to 18 yards. Though he hasn't posted exceptional numbers, Engram has found a consistent role in the offense by recording at least three receptions in seven of his nine games this season.
