Kmet caught one pass for seven yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

With just seven catches on the season, Kmet won't be a recommended fantasy option unless he begins to see a sharp increase in weekly production.

Graham was shut out on two targets in Chicago's 19-13 loss to Minnesota on Monday.

Graham was shut out for the first time this season, and almost every time the Bears found themselves in an obvious-passing situation, the Vikings brought heavy pressure, forcing Nick Foles into a number of errant throws, and Graham was rarely in the area where the quarterback was forced to throw. He's been held to 35 yards or fewer in six of his last seven games, and his ceiling is typically dependent upon him scoring touchdowns.

Hollister caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

Hollister led all Seahawks tight ends with a 48 percent snap share and 60 receiving yards in last week's loss to Buffalo, but he was left out of the game plan against the Rams, logging just six snaps on offense. He's a crafty tight end that has promise as a pass catcher, but he'll be tough to depend for consistent usage behind Greg Olsen and Will Dissly.

Dissly caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.

Greg Olsen regained control as the No. 1 tight end in this outing, with Dissly as a close No. 2 with a 36 percent snap share. Dissly has yet to catch more than two passes or surpass 38 receiving yards in a game this year, and he has just one touchdown. There's major fantasy ambiguity at the position, as three different players have led the group in snaps in each of the last three games. Therefore, Dissly's fantasy value is reserved for dynasty settings.

Sample had just one catch on two targets for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

That's two consecutive games where Sample has been nearly invisible on offense, despite playing 57 snaps. Sample has yet to score this season, and outside of two games against Cleveland, he has had eight catches in the remaining seven Bengals games this year.

Arnold notched four catches (on four targets) for 34 yards during Sunday's 32-30 victory versus the Bills.

Arnold was a close second in snaps on offense (35 of 73) to Maxx Williams (39) among Cardinals tight ends, with Darrell Daniels (14) bringing up the rear. Both Williams and Daniels were listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report with ankle injuries, so Arnold is the healthiest of the group as the team begins preparations for Thursday's game in Seattle. Consequently, Arnold could serve as the No. 1 option at the position for Kyler Murray this week, depending on how Williams and Daniels progress through their health concerns.

Helm reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The Duke product made his third appearance of the season Sunday against New Orleans, fielding 10 special-teams snaps but going without a notable contribution on the stat sheet. Helm will remain on call, as he may be needed again in the near future with George Kittle (foot) on injured reserve as of Nov. 5.

Fumagalli reverted to the Broncos' practice squad after recording two receptions for 12 yards (on three targets) during Sunday's 37-12 loss to the Raiders, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The Broncos needed depth at tight end with Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) going on injured reserve Nov. 10, thrusting Fumagalli into an immediate offensive role in a pass-heavy game script. The Wisconsin product garnered 12 of Denver's 71 total offensive snaps during the contest, and there remains potential for him to be promoted again ahead of a Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins with tight ends Jake Butt (hamstring) and Austin Fort (knee) also residing on IR currently.

Kmet (groin) is listed as active Monday against the Vikings.

Kmet managed just one limited practice before this game due to a groin injury, but he'll play through it for a second straight contest. In the Bears' Week 9 loss to the Titans, though, he was blanked in the box score and wasn't even targeted. On the season, Kmet is averaging less than a target per game, with Jimmy Graham leading the team's tight end group.

Wells was released from New England's practice squad Monday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

The 25-year-old signed to the practice squad last week, but it ended up being a short stay with the Patriots. Wells has yet to make his NFL debut since going undrafted out of San Diego State in 2018.
