  • Eric Tomlinson TE | LAC

    Eric Tomlinson: Active roster stint short-lived

    Tomlinson reverted to the Ravens' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Tomlinson failed to haul in his lone Week 15 target, but he fielded 23 of 66 offensive snaps against Jacksonville, a workload which ranked second at the tight end position behind only Mark Andrews. The UTEP product has been active for four consecutive games with Nick Boyle (knee-MCL) residing on injured reserve.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Four grabs in loss

    Goedert caught four of his eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to Arizona.

    Goedert's day was almost much better, as he was twice targeted in the end zone on the Eagles' penultimate drive, but he couldn't reel in either chance. The 25-year-old led the team in targets for a second-straight week, but this time Jalen Reagor saw eight as well. The third-year vet also saw more snaps than any offensive skill player and 11 more than Zach Ertz.

  • Ross Dwelley TE | CAR

    49ers' Ross Dwelley: Racks up 28 yards vs. Dallas

    Dwelley caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys.

    Dwelley continues to start games for San Francisco while George Kittle (foot) remains on IR. The 25-year-old logged 46 offensive snaps (55 percent) compared to backup tight end Jordan Reed's 42 (50 percent), but the latter saw three extra targets and caught a touchdown pass. Reed is the more desirable fantasy asset due to his superior receiving capabilities, but neither is a must-start in standard fantasy formats heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Cardinals.

  • Kevin Rader TE | NO

    Kevin Rader: Cut loose by Steelers

    The Steelers waived Rader on Monday.

    Rader was promoted from the practice squad in late November, but he never suited up for a game. If he clears waivers, Rader has a good chance to re-sign with Pittsburgh's practice squad.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Season-high four targets

    Johnson was held without a catch on four targets in the Saints' 32-29 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    For the third week in a row, Johnson saw action on the active roster, and he drew a season-high four targets in Sunday's defeat. Even with increased opportunities, Johnson won't be on the fantasy radar when New Orleans takes on Minnesota in Week 16.

  • Dalton Keene TE | HOU

    Patriots' Dalton Keene: Catches one pass Sunday

    Keene caught one of his two targets for two yards in Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins.

    Keene was on the field for 29 of the Patriots' 55 snaps on offense Sunday, while fellow rookie tight end Devin Asiasi was out there for 27 snaps en route to logging one target. Neither player has made a fantasy impact thus far, though it's possible that Keene may be a bit more involved over New England's last two games, with the team out of playoff contention and perhaps inclined to get more of a look at some of its younger players during that span.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Cowboys' Dalton Schultz: Scores fourth TD

    Schultz caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the 49ers.

    He was on the end on a 12-yard toss from Andy Dalton in the third quarter, giving the tight end his first TD since Week 11 and fourth of the season. Schultz has seen only 11 targets over the last four games, giving him limited fantasy appeal heading into Week 16's clash with the Eagles.

  • Gerald Everett TE | CHI

    Rams' Gerald Everett: Proves health in second half

    Everett caught two of his four targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets. He played 47 of 59 offensive snaps despite needing to be evaluated for a head injury and missing the end of the first half.

    It's probably best not to read too much into Everett's or the Rams' performance Sunday. The fourth-year tight end was off the field for a spell, and Los Angeles was upset at home as a 17.5-point favorite. Still, it likely will be pretty tough to turn to Everett confidently outside of deep fantasy settings Week 16, even with it being a potentially soft matchup against Seattle.

  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Seahawks' Will Dissly: No targets against Washington

    Dissly wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

    Dissly played 37 snaps on offense, as he was out-snapped by Jacob Hollister (40 snaps) for a second straight game. Hollister finished with a 2-17-1 line. Even with Greg Olsen (foot) out of the lineup, neither tight end has distanced himself from the other in regards to fantasy utility.

  • Seahawks' Jacob Hollister: Notches second TD of 2020

    Hollister caught both targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.

    Hollister logged 40 snaps on offense (70 percent), just a handful more than Will Dissly (37 snaps). The former came through with a 10-yard touchdown catch in the first half but was relatively quiet for the remainder of the game; Dissly finished without a target. It's essentially an even split between the two position mates, and there continues to be limited upside for both players.
