Uzomah scored for the first time this season and caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's loss to Miami.

Uzomah still can't be relied upon to get a steady stream of targets, but the Bengals have gotten better work from their offensive line lately, freeing him up to run more routes.

Graham (wrist/groin) brought in his only target for 16 yards in the Packers' 23-10 win over the Vikings on Monday night.

Graham saw just a single target for the fourth time this season, which naturally kept his night decidedly modest from a fantasy perspective. The veteran tight end is on the downside of an impressive career, and he's been hampered by multiple injuries throughout the campaign. Graham will be little more than a speculative option for season-long championship games and DFS contests in Week 17's matchup versus the Lions.

Thomas caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 27-17 loss to Denver.

Thomas has seen a handful of targets each of the past few games with David Blough at quarterback, but the thrower's limitations have significantly capped the upside of all players in this offense. While Thomas wasn't a huge fantasy threat anyway, there's even less of a reason to trust a Lions tight end in fantasy without Matthew Stafford (back) steering the ship.

James caught his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Broncos.

After seeing five passes come his way last week, James was much less involved this time around. In fact, he's only gotten more than one target in five of 15 games this season despite regularly seeing a healthy amount of playing time. Logan Thomas will remain the team's top receiving threat from the tight end position during Sunday's season finale in Green Bay.

Fant caught both of his targets for a total of 10 yards during Sunday's 27-17 win over Detriot.

Both of Fant's catches came within the first 20 minutes of the game. The dinged-up rookie played a relatively low percentage of snaps, 41 of 71, and was unable to get downfield with Detroit playing a lot of deep zone coverages. Fant has been reliant on the deep ball this season, as 52.8 percent of his 373 yards over the past seven games came on just four plays. If he's able to round back into shape in time for the season finale, he couldn't ask for a better matchup. The Raiders have surrendered more pass plays of at least 20 yards (68) and 40 yards (16) than any other team this season.

Pruitt hauled in both of his targets for 15 yards in the team's Week 16 loss to the Saints.

Pruitt recorded both of his catches in the third quarter, the first of which went for five yards in the midst of a drive that ended in a touchdown. He later added a 10-yard reception, logging multiple targets and catches in a contest for the first time this season. He'll look to remain involved in the team's Week 17 matchup against the Texans.

Hollister caught five of six targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.

Hollister led the team in receiving yards, making his career best in the process. Even with Luke Willson back from a hamstring injury, Hollister outsnapped him 43-22. The big-play ability hasn't been evident for Hollister, but he has intriguing touchdown-dependant upside going forward.

Sternberger (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Monday's game against Minnesota.

The 23-year-old had suited up the past three games, playing 36 total snaps, but failed to haul in a pass. In Sternberger's stead, Jimmy Graham, Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan will operate as the team's tight ends for Week 16.

Arnold gathered in one of three passes for 20 yards during Sunday's 27-13 victory at Seattle.

Both Arnold and Darrell Daniels, the Cardinals' reserve tight ends, experienced an uptick in usage due to Charles Clay's early departure due to a knee issue. While he was third in offensive snaps (18 of 69) behind Maxx Williams (45) and Daniels (23), Arnold's three targets matched that of the duo combined. Kyler Murray expressed a positive sentiment toward Arnold after hooking up for a six-yard TD in Week 15, but the rookie QB suffered a mild hamstring injury this past Sunday, placing a cloud over their burgeoning rapport.

Seals-Jones caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 31-15 loss to the Ravens in Week 16.

Seals-Jones left last week's game with a shoulder injury but was available to practice all week and started Sunday's contest. With David Njoku inactive for a second straight week, there was an opportunity for Seals-Jones, who had the second-longest catch for the Browns. Seals-Jones also was the target on a failed two-point conversion attempt when the Browns closed within striking distance in the fourth quarter. He ended up with 19 offensive snaps, the sixth straight week he's received fewer than 20. Without Njoku, Seals-Jones is the biggest receiving threat of the position group (four TDs, 16.4 YPR) but too inconsistent to trust.
