Allen, who was on the field for 37 of 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Bills, caught his only target in the contest for three yards.

Allen continues to make more of an impact as a blocker than a pass-catcher in the Patriots offense, but that may change some next Monday against the Dolphins in the event that Rob Gronkowski draws a suspension for his late hit on Buffalo's Tre'Davious White on Sunday.

Supernaw caught a 20-yard pass on his lone target in Sunday's 24-13 win over the Texans.

The blocking tight end got a rare opportunity with the football in his hands and parlayed it into a double-digit gain. Supernaw's season total of four catches matches his career high set last year.

Hill made his NFL debut in Sunday's win over the Panthers, recording two tackles on special teams and narrowly missing out on a blocked punt or two in the contest, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

For the first time all season, the Saints dressed all three of their quarterbacks, with head coach Sean Payton desiring to make use of the 6-foot-2, 221-pound Hill's athleticism when injuries took a toll on New Orleans' special-teams units. Suffice to say, the undrafted rookie out of BYU passed the test, with Payton speaking highly of Hill's performance after the contest. During the game broadcast, Fox Sports' Troy Aikman and Joe Buck said Payton had suggested in their pregame meeting that the 27-year-old could eventually be groomed as the successor to Drew Brees under center. Though Hill has a checkered medical history from his time in college that included four season-ending injuries, he has intriguing potential as a dual-threat quarterback if he were ever to get an extended look in the NFL at any point.

Hooper caught three balls for 21 yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Vikings.

Hooper's three receptions tied for the team lead, which speaks to how ineffective Atlanta's passing attack was on the day. A bounce-back isn't likely Thursday versus a Saints defense that has given up only 3.3 receptions per game to tight ends in 2017.

Kittle caught two passes (three targets) for 20 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

It was a quiet day for the rookie after he shared snaps with veteran Garrett Celek and actually saw one less target than his fellow tight end. On a positive note, Kittle made an incredible catch in the end zone on a deep pass from a scrambling Jimmy Garoppolo, but the errant throw pulled the tight end out of bounds, resulting in an incomplete pass. The 49ers clearly received a boost after making a quarterback change, but it will be tough to trust Kittle so long as he continues to play second fiddle to Celek (27 versus 52 offensive snaps).

Graham caught three of four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-10 victory over the Eagles.

Graham continues to look like a reinvented version of the touchdown monster who totaled 46 scores in his final four seasons with the Saints. His recent scoring binge -- Graham's notched nine touchdowns in his past eight games -- doesn't seem to be a fluke either, considering the tight end leads the league in red-zone targets (24) and has seen at least one look from within the five-yard line in all but three games this year. He'll enter Week 14 as one of the best options at tight end despite an imposing matchup with the Jaguars' top-ranked pass defense.

Ertz (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

The Eagles haven't released an official diagnosis, but Ertz is presumably under the league's concussion protocol. In his absence, Philadelphia will need to make do with a combination of Brent Celek and Trey Burton at tight end.

Ertz left Sunday's game against the Seahawks in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Ertz landed awkwardly while trying to catch a third-down pass from Carson Wentz in tight coverage. The tight end was down on the field for a couple minutes before walking off to the locker room under his own power. Ertz is officially considered questionable to return.

Engram caught seven of eight pass attempts for 99 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Raiders.

Engram's production had been trending down lately, having failed to top 31 yards in any of his past three contests. Perhaps the quarterback change did him some good, as Geno Smith relied on the rookie early and often in this one, and the Mississippi product led the team in catches and receiving yards. Engram's fantasy owners at least should feel reassured as the Giants head home to take on Dallas in Week 14.

Henry caught seven of his nine targets for 81 yards in the 19-10 win Sunday over the Browns.

Given the Browns season-long struggles to cover the tight end, Henry figured to be a focal point of the offense Sunday, turning a season high in targets to a career-tying mark in receptions. While ESPN's Eric D. Williams did note that Henry appeared to take a big hit to the legs near the end of the contest, the lack of postgame attention to the injury likely is a positive indication moving forward. Fantasy owners will want to pay attention to the practice reports Tuesday, but should everything check out, Henry is primed for another solid opportunity against the Redskins.
