Andrews had four catches for 27 yards on seven targets against the Bengals.

Andrews was held in check in the regular-season finale after racking up six catches for 56 yards and a touchdown in his first meeting against Cincinnati. The star tight end played just 57 percent of the snaps Sunday in the blowout but still garnered a high target volume. Andrews finishes the regular season with 58 catches for 701 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games. He will face the Titans in the wild card round Sunday.

Ertz caught three of six targets for 16 yards in Philadelphia's 20-14 loss to Washington on Sunday.

Ertz led the team in targets but wasn't able to do much with them, as an ineffective Jalen Hurts was benched in favor of Nate Sudfeld to start the second half. It was a fitting end to a disappointing season for the 30-year-old, who enters the offseason with questions abounding as to whether he'll be back in Philadelphia next year. The Eagles can save about $5 million in cap space by trading him and also have a younger, cheaper and very skilled replacement in Dallas Goedert. Ertz finishes the year with 36 catches for 335 yards and one touchdown in 11 games. All of those numbers are career lows.

Pinkney reverted back to Atlanta's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Pinkney was brought up to the active roster ahead of the final contest of the season against the Buccaneers, but he was ultimately inactive. He'll set his sights on next season, with the hope of making his NFL debut.

Gesicki caught five of 10 targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 56-26 loss to the Bills.

Gesicki drew his third-highest target total of the season during Sunday's blowout divisional loss, but he wasn't able to do much with his volume on a day when Tua Tagovailoa struggled mightily. The 25-year-old tight end will benefit from a full offseason to build up additional chemistry with Tagovailoa, as Gesicki is no doubt primed to return as one of Miami's pivotal offensive weapons in 2021. Through 15 appearances in 2020, Gesicki notched career-high marks in catches (53), yards (703) and touchdowns (six) while drawing 85 targets.

Fumagalli caught two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 32-31 loss to Las Vegas.

Fumagalli was responsible for Denver's first touchdown late in the first quarter, slipping out into the back of the end zone off of play action for a one-yard score, his first of the season. He struggled with injuries during his first go-round in Denver but provided some nice performances with the Broncos thin at tight end down the stretch. He offers an interesting reserve option for 2021 behind Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam.

The Vikings signed Dillon (ankle) to a reserve/future contract Monday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Dillon spent the duration of the 2020 season on the Vikings' practice squad. The 23-year-old tight end was elevated to the active roster for three games. Dillon will vie for a depth role next season.

The Panthers signed Thompson to a one-year contract extension Monday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.

Thompson played in 15 games for the Panthers in 2020. The 27-year-old mostly contributed as a blocker, as he caught just one pass -- a seven-yard touchdown.

The Panthers signed Ricci to a reserve/future contract Monday, Will Bryan of the team's official site reports.

Ricci failed to make the active roster in Carolina after posting a 51-642-8 line in his senior season at Western Michigan. The 24-year-old will run it back in 2021 with hopes of securing a depth role.

Fant said Monday that he never got '100 percent' healthy in 2020 after injuring his ankle against the Jets in Week 4, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Fant only officially missed one game due to his ankle injury, but as evidenced by the fact that he was never able to surpass the 81 receiving yards he logged Week 1, it appears that the 23-year-old tight end never got back to full form. Still, Fant's 62 catches (93 targets) for 673 yards and three scores through 15 games paint the picture of a successful sophomore campaign, especially considering the context of Denver's offensive woes and how slowly young tight ends usually develop. Given that Fant managed to avoid the Broncos' injury report entirely to close out the year, there's no reason to be concerned that his ankle issue will linger into offseason workouts.

Trautman caught his only target for five yards in the Saints' 33-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Trautman ends his rookie season with 15 receptions for 171 yards and a score. With Jared Cook set to be a free agent in 2021 and Trautman boasting a third-round pedigree, he has a path to meaningful production next season.
