Knox caught two of four targets for 36 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 48-19 win against the Broncos.

Knox had to exit Buffalo's Week 15 win because of a stinger, though he was capable of returning to the contest while tying a season high in receiving yards. After going scoreless over his first six appearances of the season, the Ole Miss product has proceeded to go on a tear by posting a trio of TDs in his past four games. Eleven targets over the past two outings represent the most in a two-game span over the 24-year-old's career. A Week 16 matchup against New England has the potential to thwart Knox's recent uptick in production, as the Patriots have surrendered an NFL-low one receiving TD to opposing tight ends this season.

The Ravens elevated Tomlinson to the active roster Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Tomlinson looks set to appear in his fourth straight game with the Ravens. He hasn't been targeted in that span, however, so it's safe to say that Tomlinson remains off the fantasy radar for now.

Knox returned to Saturday's game against the Broncos after suffering a stinger in the first half.

Good news for the Bills, as Knox is the only pass-catching tight end in an offense that's been humming on all cylinders lately. We would not be surprised if Knox sees some rest during next week's practices.

The 49ers elevated Helm to the active roster Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Helm is listed as a COVID-19 replacement, and he could directly fill in for rookie tight end Charlie Woerner (undisclosed) during Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Helm has suited up for three games with the 49ers this season.

The 49ers placed Woerner on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Woerner's placement on the COVID-19 list could mean either that he's tested positive for the virus or been deemed a close contact with someone who has. The rookie sixth-round pick recorded the first three targets of his career in his last two appearances.

Knox is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Broncos due to a stinger, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Knox suffered a similar injury in the Week 14 win over the Steelers, so this is certainly a concern for him and the Bills. With backup Tyler Kroft inactive again, the Bills will be down to blocker Lee Smith if Knox is unable to return. He did score the Bills' first touchdown of the afternoon, so no matter what the game is not a total loss for his managers.

The Cardinals activated Daniels (ankle) from IR on Saturday.

Daniels will be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles after having missed the Cardinals' last four contests. He stands to work behind Dan Arnold and Maxx Williams in Arizona's tight end rotation.

The Saints signed Johnson to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday.

Johnson looks set to see action in his third straight contest of the season, and his fifth game overall. He had one catch for 11 yards against the Eagles last weekend, but with Michael Thomas (ankle) now on IR, it's conceivable that New Orleans' depth wideouts could get more opportunities.

The Dolphins elevated Myarick to the active roster Saturday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Myarick previously suited up for the Dolphins in Weeks 10 and 14, but he has yet to draw a target. If Mike Gesicki (shoulder) can't play Sunday, Myarick will provide emergency depth behind Adam Shaheen and Durham Smythe.

Kroft (healthy scratch) is inactive for Saturday's game in Denver.

Kroft has been a healthy scratch in four straight games since rejoining the active roster from the COVID-19 list. In his stead, Lee Smith will serve as the No. 2 tight end behind Dawson Knox.
