Henry caught five of his seven targets for 45 yards in the 24-17 loss Sunday to the Raiders.

Henry saw his highest target volume since Week 11, but it failed to translate into meaningful fantasy production. Despite playing in just 11 games, the fourth-year tight end has set a career high in receiving yards thanks to Sunday's performance, but given the stretch from Week 6 to 11 in which he posted a 35-427-3 line, it's hardly a victory lap for fantasy owners who battled with Henry's inconsistencies for much of the season.

Thomas caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Colts.

Thomas wasn't as big of a factor with starting tight end Greg Olsen returning to the lineup but at least hauled in all of his looks from rookie quarterback Will Grier. That actually saw Thomas top Olsen's two catches, but the veteran managed 33 yards from his five targets.

Ertz sustained a fractured rib in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys and will undergo further testing Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After taking a hard shot to the ribs in the first quarter, Ertz gutted it out through the painful injury, playing 82 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps en route to making four catches for 28 yards on six targets. The adrenaline might have helped Ertz carry on in the crucial win, but the Eagles will await the results of follow-up tests before determining his fate for the Dec. 29 regular-season finale versus the Giants. If Ertz can't play next weekend or if his playing time is limited due to the injury, Dallas Goedert would step in as the Eagles' top tight end and likely would see heavy volume in the passing game, given the team's lack of established options at wide receiver.

Coach Doug Pederson confirmed that Ertz will undergo further testing after the tight end sustained a rib injury in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Ertz briefly exited in the first quarter after taking a shot to the ribs from Dallas' Xavier Woods, but he returned just before intermission and played the entire second half. However, despite playing 59 of the Eagles' 72 snaps (82 percent) on the day, Ertz was a lesser version of himself, converting six targets into four catches for 28 yards. The Eagles will get a better handle on the extent of Ertz's injury while he undergoes more tests Monday, but his availability for the Week 17 matchup with the Giants will remain in question for the time being.

Everett failed to catch his only target and played just four offensive snaps during Saturday's 34-31 loss to San Francisco.

It's been a disappointing campaign for Everett, and especially over the past few weeks. Just when it looked like everything was coming together for the athletic tight end, he sustained a knee injury in mid-November, which eventually sidelined him for three weeks. Additionally, fellow tight end Tyler Higbee has stepped up with four consecutive games of at least 100 receiving yards. With nothing on the line in Week 17, it wouldn't be surprising if Everett was once again scarcely involved in the offense to ensure he's 100 percent healthy heading into the offseason.

Saubert caught one pass for 11 yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Saubert hauled in one of two targets, and he now has 59 yards in six games this season. He won't be a recommended fantasy option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Holtz caught one pass for 13 yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Holtz saw just one target for the third game in a row, and he won't be a strong fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against the Vikings.

Horsted caught one pass for 20 yards in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Horsted has posted exactly one reception in four of his five games this season, and he won't be a player to count on in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Kelce had eight receptions (nine targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-3 win over Chicago.

Kelce had another strong night from a yards and receptions standpoint, but he was also able to find the end zone for the first time since Week 11. It was the star tight end's fifth touchdown reception of the year, and that may be the only criticism that can be made of yet another 1,000-plus yard season (his fourth in a row). The Chiefs can still play their way into a first-round bye with some help from the Patriots in Week 17, so the team figures to deploy Kelce and the rest of its starters until either a win or loss appears to be imminent against the Chargers on Sunday.

Ertz (ribs) caught four of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys.

The tight end missed most of the first half after taking a shot to the ribs, but he returned toward the end of the second quarter and stayed in the lineup after halftime. Dallas Goedert took his place as the primary option for Carson Wentz, however, seeing double Ertz's targets and catching Wentz's only TD pass. Given that he was able to play through the rib issue Sunday, Ertz will likely suit up in Week 17 as the Eagles try to clinch the NFC East title, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Goedert is the more productive receiver once again.
