Tanner Conner TE | MIA
Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Moves to IR
Conner (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Conner suffered the injury during Monday's win over the Rams and will now be forced to miss at least the next four games. The Idaho State product had appeared in eight games this season but was mostly used on special teams.

Hayden Hurst TE | LAC
Chargers' Hayden Hurst: Held catchless in win
Hurst was unable to secure his lone target in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans.
Hurst saw just one target for the second-straight week, as the veteran continues to be clearly behind Will Dissly in the Chargers' tight end pecking order. The 31-year-old played just nine of Los Angeles' 59 offensive snaps, behind both Dissly (32) and Tucker Fisk (23). With such limited usage and production in 2024, Hurst is far from a reliable fantasy option heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Bengals.

Kylen Granson TE | IND
Colts' Kylen Granson: Two grabs in loss
Granson caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-20 loss to Bills.
Granson's two grabs were a season high for the fourth-year tight end, as he continues to play a limited role in the Colts' passing game in 2024. The 26-year-old played 24 of the Colts' 64 offensive snaps Sunday, just behind Mo Alie-Cox (27) and ahead of Drew Ogletree (22). Granson remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Jets.

Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Limited on practice estimate
The Eagles listed Goedert (ankle) as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
Though the Eagles merely held a walkthrough Tuesday, Goedert's limited listing represents a step forward from Monday, when he appeared on the team's initial Week 11 injury report as a non-participant. Goedert made his return from a three-game absence in this past Sunday's win over the Cowboys and showed no signs of the hamstring injury that had sidelined him. Even though Goedert is now being listed with a new injury, the expectation is that he will play Thursday against the Commanders.
-
Jack Stoll TE | MIA
Jack Stoll: Let go by Philadelphia
The Eagles waived Stoll on Tuesday.
Stoll operated as the Eagles' No. 2 tight end behind Grant Calcaterra from Week 7 through 9 due to Dallas Goedert being sidelined with a hamstring injury. Goedert returned for the Eagles' Week 10 win over the Cowboys, during which Stoll played 35 snaps (17 on offense, 18 on special teams) without recording a stat. Stoll could be claimed off waivers by a team in need of tight end depth, but if he goes unclaimed, he has the option of returning to Philadelphia on the practice squad or exploring other opportunities.

Michael Mayer TE | LV
Raiders' Michael Mayer: Ready to practice again
The Raiders designated Mayer (personal) to return from the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday.
Mayer didn't appear in any of Las Vegas' last six games while he was away from the team tending to a personal matter, but he's ready to resume practicing coming out of the Raiders' Week 10 bye. Though he's not returning from an injury, Mayer could need some time to get himself back in football shape following the lengthy layoff, so he may not be a lock to suit up in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Whenever he's cleared for game action, Mayer will reprise his duties as the Raiders' No. 2 tight end, though that may not lead to much usage behind standout rookie Brock Bowers.

Noah Gray TE | KC
Chiefs' Noah Gray: Sees downturn in playing time
Gray hauled in each of his two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 16-14 win versus the Broncos.
After a promising four-game stretch spanning Week 4 to Week 8 that saw Gray post 13 catches for 158 yards, the fourth-year tight end has posted just two catches total over the past two games. Gray also saw a slight downturn in his playing time, just 39 snaps (57 percent) after he crossed the 60-percent threshold in each of the last three games. Either way, Gray has yet to find pay dirt this season and is the clear No. 2 at tight end, so he's likely nothing more than a deep dynasty stash at this point.

Isaiah Likely TE | BAL
Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Not practicing yet
Likely (hamstring) wasn't on the field Tuesday for the Ravens' practice session, Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Likely hasn't practiced in any fashion since tweaking his hamstring in the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Broncos. The tight end may need to get back on the field in some capacity by Friday to have a chance at returning from a one-game absence Sunday against the Steelers.
-
Will Dissly TE | LAC
Chargers' Will Dissly: Leads team in targets, receptions
Dissly caught five of his six targets for 30 yards in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Dissly led the team in targets and receptions, but he was effectively just a checkdown option in a game in which the Chargers attempted just 18 passes total. The seventh-year veteran does seem to have pushed Hayden Hurst out of the pass-catching tight end platoon role, as Hurst played just eight snaps for a second consecutive week. The lack of volume in the Los Angeles pass attacking will limit Dissly's fantasy production most weeks.
-
Jeremy Ruckert TE | NYJ
Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Season-high 17 yards in loss
Ruckert caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.
Ruckert was the Jets' most productive tight end in the loss, but he played only 20 snaps on offense compared to Tyler Conklin's 45. Ruckert has yet to score a touchdown in his 34-game NFL career, and his 17 yards against the Cardinals marked a season high.
