Mundt caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Despite Gerald Everett (knee) sitting out, Mundt played just 11 offensive snaps and was targeted on just three of Jared Goff's 51 passes. The large deficit didn't allow a run-blocker like Mundt much tread, and the 25-year-old could see a further decrease in usage if Everett is back for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

The Giants placed Engram (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

Though he appeared close to returning to game action on a couple occasions, Engram was never able to move past the left foot injury after he first sprained it in a Nov. 4 loss to the Cowboys. Engram will end up having played in only eight games, finishing his third NFL season with 44 catches for 467 yards and three touchdowns on 68 targets. Engram's absence for the Giants' final two games should allow rookie Kaden Smith to act as the Giants' top pass-catching tight end, while blocking specialist Rhett Ellison could also have a more pronounced role if he's able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol.

Uzomah had just one catch for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Pats.

Third-string tight end Cethan Carter scored his first career TD while Uzomah was barely used, highlighting how far from fantasy value the veteran has become.

Henry caught both of his targets for 29 yards and also lost a fumble in the 39-10 loss Sunday to the Vikings.

Henry's disappearance over the last three weeks is a mystery that might never be solved. In a six-game stretch following his return from a tibia plateau fracture, Henry was arguably one of the most dynamic tight ends in the league, recording 35 receptions, 427 receiving yards and three touchdowns thanks to 49 targets --- second most on the team over that stretch behind usual stalwart Keenan Allen. In the team's three games following a Week 12 bye, though, Henry was been shockingly absent from the offense, shuffling together a 6-78-1 line behind a paltry nine targets. Part of the loss of production could be blamed on the opposition; both the Broncos in Week 13 and Vikings in Week 15 were aggressively attempting to limit Henry's opportunities, particularly as a safety valve against a heavy pass rush. Nonetheless, it's bizarre to see such a dramatic switch, with wide receiver Mike Williams essentially gobbling up the missing targets on deep pass attempts. It remains to be seen how Henry will finish out the season, as the Chargers could opt to start younger signal callers such as Tyrod Taylor or Easton Stick at quarterback after yet another alarmingly poor Sunday from franchise icon Philip Rivers.

Hill corralled both of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown, adding one yard on two carries in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.

Hill caught Drew Brees' final touchdown of the evening, bringing in a 28-yard score at the end of the third quarter to put New Orleans up 34-0. The multi-faceted quarterback is always a threat to score when the Saints scheme the ball to him, but he can't be relied on for consistent fantasy production due to his low weekly volume.

Arnold tallied a six-yard touchdown reception on his only target during Sunday's 38-24 win over the Browns.

Ten days removed from the Cardinals claiming him off waivers from the Saints, Arnold suited up for the first time with his new team and made an immediate impression, despite being a distant third in terms of offensive snap share at his position. Charles Clay (70 percent) and Maxx Williams (66) led the way, but Arnold made his one target count while playing 11 of 61 snaps on offense. Rookie quarterback Kyler Murray spoke highly of Arnold afterward, telling Katherine Fitzgerald and Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic, "I've never had a guy that big that can do what he can do." The 6-foot-6, 220-pound Arnold may be able to carve out a niche as a red-zone threat during the final two games of the season.

Orndoff was released from the Eagles' practice squad Monday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Ordoff had been on Philadelphia's practice squad since Oct. 18, but he's now been let go in favor of Alex Ellis, a former tight end on the team. The 26-year-old will now have to look for a new opportunity.

Smith had two receptions for eight yards, including a one-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win at the Chargers.

Minnesota didn't need to do much in the passing game in the second half with a large lead, which may have limited Smith's targets, but he did add his second touchdown catch of the season. He's had three or more targets in eight consecutive games despite the low yardage total Sunday and still was a factor in the passing game with Adam Thielen returning from a hamstring injury. Smith could see increased targets next week if Minnesota's passing game is needed more against Green Bay.

Sternberger played 14 snaps but was not targeted in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Sternberger has now appeared in five games since being activated from injured reserve, but he is still looking for his first career reception. Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of Sternberger's Week 15 participation is the fact he played the third-most snaps among the team's tight ends for the first time in a game where there were four active players at the position.

Tonyan was targeted twice and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Tonyan scored his first touchdown of the season Week 14, but he could not build on that Week 15. His youth in relation to veteran tight ends Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis gives him some intrigue, but he figures to remain a reserve the rest of the way and also will have to compete for snaps with fellow youngster Jace Sternberger, who totaled 14 plays Sunday to Tonyan's nine.
