Hurst was unable to reel in his lone target during Monday's 45-6 win over the Rams.

Monday marked Hurst's first catchless game of the season. The 2018 first-round pick has seldom accounted for many yards this season, having not topped 40 since Week 1, but he's been good for a catch or two per game with a red-zone target sprinkled in. Even if Hurst had maintained his reception streak, that type of production was never enough to make him a viable play in fantasy, especially against a team like the 49ers, who the Ravens face Sunday.

Hockenson (shoulder) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Hockenson has maintained his activity level through two injury reports this week, with Wednesday's final version potentially clearing up his status for Thursday's game versus the Bears. Even if he suits up, though, he may split work with the Lions' other tight ends for a second straight contest. In this past Sunday's loss at Washington, Hockenson received 33 of 74 offensive snaps, while Jesse James handled 32 and Logan Thomas got 28.

Hooper (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Instead of taking the practice field, Hooper worked with the training staff on the side, per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. With Hooper tending to a sprained MCL and Luke Stocker logging DNPs this week due to a back injury, Jaeden Graham is the only healthy tight end on the Falcons' 53-man roster at the moment.

Hooper (knee) worked on a side field with the Falcons' training staff during Tuesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Hooper seems poised to log a DNP for a second straight day. Until his sprained MCL is sound enough for him to get on the practice field, he'll yield reps to Jaeden Graham, who is the sole healthy TE on the roster with Luke Stocker (back) also in recovery mode.

Moreau caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.

Fellow tight end Darren Waller caught three of six targets for 41 yards as Moreau logged just 19 offensive snaps, while the entire Raiders offense was held in check during this blowout loss. A favorable matchup against the Chiefs awaits in Week 13, but Waller will continue to overshadow Moreau from a fantasy perspective.

Higbee caught five of six targets for 20 yards during Monday's 45-6 loss to Baltimore.

The five receptions were a season high for Higbee, but with just 20 yards to show for his busy evening, his impact was limited. The fourth-year tight end has been held to just 10 receptions for 58 yards through the past five weeks, and the Los Angeles offense has only scored 35 points over its past three games, so it's unlikely Higbee morphs into a reliable fantasy option over the final weeks of the season.

Everett caught both of his targets for 23 yards during Monday's 45-6 loss to Baltimore.

There have been signs of a breakout from Everett this season, including an eight-catch, 68-yard showing against Pittsburgh in Week 10. However, those games have been too few and far between to lock him in as a set-and-forget fantasy asset. Playing just 17 of 54 offensive snaps against the Ravens is also a sizable concern. While there's no denying Everett's potential, especially as a big-play threat, his value is capped with the Los Angeles offense trending in the wrong direction -- the Rams have scored just 35 points the past three games.

Goedert caught seven of his eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

It was expected that Goedert would be one of the primary beneficiaries with Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) both out. The second-year tight end came in second on the team in targets and catches behind only Zach Ertz. While the 24-year-old set a season high in catches, it unfortunately didn't translate to many yards. Goedert will be a touchdown-dependent play Week 13 against Miami.

Andrews caught two of three targets for 45 yards in Monday night's 45-6 win over the Rams.

Andrews was relatively quiet in Baltimore's runaway victory, as his first catch didn't come until late in the first half. He then came up with a 38-yard grab on the Ravens' opening series of the third quarter, boosting his numbers overall. In doing so, Andrews actually trailed only Miles Boykin for the team lead in receiving yards. Look for Andrews to be leaned on more heavily in a tough Week 13 matchup against the 49ers.

Uzomah was held without a catch and had just one target in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

About the only hope for Uzomah is that he's on the field more often than Tyler Eifert in terms of snaps, but all too often his role is to block. He's had just one target inside the 10-yard line all season.
