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.

Goedert (calf) looked surprisingly better at Saturday's practice and is now considered a pregame decision for Sunday's game against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Goedert is listed as questionable on the official injury report for Sunday's game. Even if he does play, Goedert's fantasy value remains modest, so long as Zach Ertz (who has been targeted 23 times in two games to date) remains healthy and available.

Daniels was promoted to the Cardinals' active roster Saturday.

Daniels was originally waived by Arizona on Sep. 9, but it seems he latched onto the practice squad and will now provide the team with some depth at tight end for Sunday's matchup with Carolina. The 24-year-old takes the place of offensive lineman Jeremy Vujnovich, who was let go Saturday in a corresponding move.

Smith caught two of his three targets for 20 yards in Week 3 against Jacksonville.

Smith continues to work behind Delanie Walker -- who led the team in targets -- but drew his most significant work of the season on Thursday. While the Titans heavily targeted tight ends in 2018, the additions of Adam Humphries and A.J. Brown have shifted target distribution. That said, Smith won't see enough volume to be fantasy relevant unless Walker suffers an injury.

With Njoku (wrist) having been placed on IR on Friday, the first game he'd be eligible to play in would be Nov. 24 against the Dolphins, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

It remains to be seen if the tight end will need wrist surgery, with Ulrich suggestion that option is still being considered, while Ian Rapoport of NFL Network has indicated that the tight end will avoid a procedure. For now, it seems like Njoku is a candidate to come back later this season, but those inclined to stash him on fantasy rosters must know that a Week 12 return represents the best-case scenario for the 2017 first-rounder.
