  • Jack Stoll TE | NO

    Saints' Jack Stoll: Could play in Week 10

    Stoll (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Despite suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Saints Week 9 loss to the Rams, Stoll logged three consecutive limited practice sessions and has a chance to play Sunday. If he's active for the Week 10 divisional matchup, he'll likely play a depth role on offense while also contributing on special teams.

  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Avoids injury designation

    Kmet (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Fantasy interest in Kmet himself is perhaps at an all-time low, but his return could have an impact in the form of fewer snaps and routes for rookie Colston Loveland, who put up 118 yards and two TDs at Cincinnati last week. The Bears face another vulnerable defense this Sunday, so Loveland should still have some opportunities even if he cedes some playing time to Kmet.

  • Browns' Harold Fannin: Questionable for Sunday

    Fannin (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    After being added to the Browns' Week 10 injury report following a 'DNP' on Thursday, Fannin returned to a limited practice Friday. However, given that he heads into the weekend with a 'questionable' designation, the tight end's status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Fannin ends up limited or out against the Jets, fellow TE David Njoku would be in line for added snaps, with Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates available to work in complementary roles.

  • Adam Trautman TE | DEN

    Broncos' Adam Trautman: Minimal production against Raiders

    Trautman caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.

    Trautman once again led all Denver tight ends in offensive snap share, playing 42 of 61 snaps Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow tight ends Evan Engram and Marcedes Lewis played 27 and 20 snaps, respectively. With that said, Trautman offered little production based on his usage as a blocking specialist. It was Engram, however, who saw five targets in the contest, the second most among all Broncos pass catchers. The 28-year-old Trautman should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 11.

  • Tanner Conner TE | NYG

    Tanner Conner: Could be brought back by Miami

    Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that the team is interested in bringing back Conner, whom Miami waived Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    If brought back, Conner would presumably sign with Miami's practice squad. Conner had been helping to fill the void while Darren Waller (pectoral) is on injured reserve. Julian Hill (ankle) and Greg Dulcich make up Miami's current tight end depth.

  • Browns' Harold Fannin: Back at practice Friday

    Fannin (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Fannin was added to the Browns' Week 10 injury report after not practicing Thursday, but his return to the field a day later is an encouraging sign with regard to his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the tight end heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared to face New York.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Two catches in Thursday's win

    Engram caught two of five targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.

    Engram has secured only two of eight targets over the past two games. This downturn comes after a stretch of five consecutive games with at least four catches. Engram's next opportunity to get back on track will come Nov. 16 against the Chiefs.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Three catches in Week 10

    Mayer caught three of four targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Broncos.

    Mayer had more targets and catches than Brock Bowers, who caught one of three targets for 31 yards. Bowers had an 83 percent snap share compared to Mayer's mark of 62 percent. Given the underwhelming state of Vegas' wide receiver room, the Raiders likely will continue to keep both tight ends involved in the passing game. The team's next game is Monday, Nov. 17 at home against the Cowboys.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Fellow TE on injury report

    Njoku could benefit from an injury to tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring), who was added to Cleveland's injury report Thursday.

    Following a healthy session Wednesday, Fannin sat out Thursday's practice, which is something to monitor in the days leading up to Sunday's game against the Jets. Njoku and Fannin have been the leading targets for rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, whose 4.9 yards per attempt is among the lowest in the league. In three games with Gabriel under center, Njoku has averaged seven targets, recorded six of his seven red-zone targets this season and scored two touchdowns. While the Browns might tilt toward their running game against New York's suspect rush defense, which became weaker following the trade deadline, the theme coming out of practice this week has been about using the ground game to enhance the passing attack. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was named the team's new play caller Monday, was the tight ends coach in 2024, which could factor into his approach. The Athletic's Zac Jackson also speculates that by not trading Njoku, who is in the final year of his contract, the Browns are hinting that he could be heavily involved in the offense the rest of the way and may be brought back in 2026.

  • Brock Bowers TE | LV

    Raiders' Brock Bowers: Major downturn in TNF loss

    Bowers brought in one of three targets for 31 yards and rushed once for minus-4 yards in the Raiders' 10-7 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

    After putting together a career-best yardage total and recording three touchdowns just four days earlier against the Jaguars in a narrow overtime loss, Bowers saw a major downturn in production against a much stingier Broncos defense. The talented tight end did make a nice splash on his one reception and logged a rush attempt for the second straight contest, but he fell victim to another modest night for Las Vegas' air attack. Bowers' upside is above question, but Geno Smith's (quadriceps) ongoing struggles always have the potential to cap the 2024 first-round pick's production. Bowers and the Raiders do have a more palatable matchup next time out, as they'll host the Cowboys for a Monday night Week 11 matchup on Nov. 17.
