Troy Fumagalli TE | MIN
Broncos' Troy Fumagalli: Healthy scratch
Fumagalli (coach's decision) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Post reports.
Fumagalli has played in every game thus far, and he hasn't surpassed 14 offensive snaps in a contest. The second-year pro has taken a clear backseat to Noah Fant and Jeff Heuerman, but hopefully the healthy scratches don't become a trend.

Geoff Swaim TE | CLE
Jaguars' Geoff Swaim: Suits up Sunday
Swaim is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
With eight catches (on 10 targets) for 39 yards over his first three games to date, Swaim is only an option in the deepest of fantasy formats while sharing snaps at tight end with James O'Shaughnessy.

Chris Manhertz TE | NYG
Panthers' Chris Manhertz: Suffers concussion Sunday
Manhertz (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Brendan Marks of The Charlotte Observer reports.
It's unclear how Manhertz suffered the concussion, but now that he's been diagnosed, he'll officially enter the league's concussion protocol. The 26-year-old has been solid in his depth role, but now that he's sidelined, the depth chart consists of Greg Olsen and Ian Thomas. Manhertz will need to clear concussion protocol before he's cleared to suit up in practice and game action.

Darren Waller TE | CAR
Raiders' Darren Waller: Even more opportunity on tap?
Waller could be in line for another significant target share in a Week 4 tilt against the Colts with wideouts J.J. Nelson (coach's decision) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) declared inactive for the contest.
It would be difficult for Waller to top the 14 targets he saw Week 3 against the Vikings, but the pair of absences in the wideout corps at least up the chances he reaches double-digit looks once again. Waller has arguably functioned as a 1-A receiver in the Raiders offense through the first three games anyhow, having brought in an impressive 26 of 29 targets for 267 yards. He'll also be drawing a favorable matchup Sunday, considering the Colts have allowed an 18-181-2 line to tight ends over their first three games.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Listed as active Sunday
Andrews (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Andrews, who has been playing through his foot issue ever since Week 1, is thus in line to remain one of the top targets at Lamar Jackson's disposal Sunday, assuming no in-game setbacks. He's coming off a three-catch, 15-yard effort in Week 3, but prior to that, the tight end displayed good chemistry with his QB while logging back-to-back eight-catch outputs to start the season.

Darrell Daniels TE | DET
Darrell Daniels: Drops from active roster
The Cardinals cut Daniels on Saturday.
The Cardinals need to roster an extra punter with Andy Lee (hip) questionable, so they promoted Ryan Winslow from the active roster and cut Daniels. He could re-sign with the team next week if Lee gets healthy.

Geoff Swaim TE | CLE
Jaguars' Geoff Swaim: Game-time call Sunday
Swaim is dealing with an illness and is a game-time decision for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
Swaim becoming ill just a day before the game will make it tough for him to play. The fifth-year pro hasn't had a major impact on offense yet with eight receptions for 39 scoreless yards, but the Jaguars' tight-end depth is already suspect with Josh Oliver (hamstring) out. If Swaim can't go, James O'Shaughnessy should be afforded a large workload while Seth DeValve rotates in.

Tyler Higbee TE | LAR
Rams' Tyler Higbee: Availability confirmed
Higbee (chest) is available for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Higbee upgraded to full practice participation Thursday and made it through Friday without any setbacks. He'll presumably jump back into a timeshare at tight end with Gerald Everett.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Status in question for Week 4
Andrews (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Andrews emerged from the season opener with a foot issue, which has impacted his practice reps in the interim. During Week 4 prep, he didn't take the field at all until returning in a limited fashion Friday. Afterward, he expressed confidence that he'll suit up this weekend. "I'm feeling good and I'm excited to play the Browns," he told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Assuming he does so, Andrews again will be one of the top targets at Lamar Jackson's disposal.

Josh Oliver TE | MIN
Jaguars' Josh Oliver: Ruled out for Week 4
Oliver (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.
Oliver continues to nurse a lingering hamstring injury, and he'll now miss a fourth consecutive contest. A timetable for the rookie third-round pick's recovery remains undisclosed.
