Kelce caught seven of eight targets for 89 yards during Sunday's 33-28 win over the Ravens.

Kelce started off hot Sunday, with a pair of 20-plus-yard receptions in the game's opening minutes. The Chiefs' offense, with injuries to Damien Williams (knee), Tyreek Hill (collarbone) and potentially, Shady McCoy (ankle), is a bit dinged up right now. Kelce continues to provide Patrick Mahomes with a dependable target both underneath and up the seam. He should face a bit of challenge Sunday against a Lions team that has rattled off back-to-back impressive wins.

Kroft (left ankle) was spotted with a walking boot Sunday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Kroft, who had been bouncing back from a broken foot, injured his left ankle during Thursday's practice session, which clouds his status for next Sunday's game against the Patriots. In Kroft's absence, fellow tight end Dawson Knox hauled in three of his four targets for 67 yards and a TD in the Bills' 21-17 Week 3 triumph over the Bengals.

Dickerson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Buccaneers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Dickerson had previously dealt with a quadriceps injury this week, but he'd been back to full participation by Thursday's practice session. Rhett Ellison and Eric Tomlinson will continue to serve as Evan Engam's backups at tight end.

Goedert (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

After putting in a pregame workout, Goedert has been deemed ready to return from a one-game absence. It'll be interesting to see what kind of workload he'll be able to handle on his recovering left calf, but in the end, the presence of No. 1 tight end Zach Ertz hinders Goedert's potential to produce.

Andrews (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Adam Schefter of ESPN relayed earlier Sunday that Andrews was a "50-50" proposition for Week 3, but the tight end was apparently able to do enough in pregame warmups to assuage most of the Ravens' concern about his health. That being said, Andrews will probably be playing at less than 100 percent, which could prompt the Ravens to manage his snap count more conservatively than normal if the foot presents any problems as the game unfolds. If Andrews is at all limited, Nick Boyle and Hayden Hurst would be in store for added reps.

Graham (groin) is active Week 3 against Denver.

Graham returned to the practice field on a limited basis for Friday's session, and all indicators at that time suggested the tight end would be suiting up. He's now through pregame warmups and appears in line to take on a regular workload. While Graham saw the field for 54 snaps (73 percent) Week 2 against Minnesota, he wasn't a major factor in the passing game, seeing just one target. He'll look to get more involved against a Denver defense that is in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. While opposing tight ends have been targeted 19 times against the Broncos, the unit has yet to allow one to reach the end zone.

Goedert (calf) ran routes and caught passes during a workout ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Goedert's status for Week is contingent on his ability to get through the activity unscathed, but McManus noted that the tight end is wearing a sleeve on his left calf and doesn't "look 100 percent." The Eagles will make a final decision on Goedert's availability about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Hill is expected to be "sprinkled in" with the Saints' game plan Sunday against the Seahawks while Teddy Bridgewater steps in as the starting quarterback and draws the majority of the snaps under center in place of Drew Brees (thumb), Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

After Brees exited in the first quarter of last week's loss to the Rams, Hill went on to play 21 offensive snaps but didn't attempt any passes or receive any carries. Instead, it was Bridgewater who handled the majority of the reps, completing just 17 of 30 attempts for 165 yards while fumbling once. Bridgewater's lackluster showing prompted coach Sean Payton to leave the door open regarding his plans at quarterback for Week 3 while Brees is out, but Russini's report suggests it may have only been an act of gamesmanship on Payton's part. While Hill looks on track to handle the No. 2 role, he should at least notice a slight uptick in use compared to what he normally handles when Brees plays. That might be enough to make Hill worthy of consideration in deeper leagues that start two quarterbacks or make use of a superflex spot.

Graham (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The groin injury prevented Graham from taking part in the Packers' first two practices of the week, but the tight end was able to turn in a limited session Friday before garnering the questionable tag. Coach Matt LaFleur noted after Friday's practice that Graham looked good, so unless the 32-year-old experiences a pregame setback, he'll likely be in store for a normal snap count.

Andrews (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is viewed as "50-50" for the contest, and his status isn't likely to be known until he completes pregame warmups, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Andrews tended to the foot injury ahead of last week's game, but he proceeded to light up the Cardinals to the tune of eight catches (on nine targets) for 112 yards and one touchdown. Still, this report makes his availability for Week 3 sound like a true tossup. His status will be known for certain approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. EDT kickoff.
