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.

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.
