Graham caught seven of 11 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-31 loss to the Falcons. He also hauled in a successful two-point conversion.

Graham opened the scoring for Seattle with a four-yard touchdown during the first quarter. That end-zone trip not only gave Graham a seventh touchdown in the last six games, but also a new season-high mark since joining the Seahawks. Although he's topped 65 yards just once through 10 outings this season, Graham's torrid touchdown pace is reminiscent of his days in New Orleans, when he first surfaced as a fantasy star.

Derby (shoulder) reverted to injured reserve Monday, per the league's official transaction log.

Derby was waived ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals in order for Denver to add another tight end to the active roster, which ended up being Austin Traylor from the practice squad. Otherwise, the Broncos would've only had one healthy option at tight end in Virgil Green, with Jeff Heuerman nursing a knee injury. Barring an injury settlement, Derby will likely spend the rest of the season on IR.

Njoku played just 21 of the team's 55 offensive snaps and finished with one catch (one target) for 13 yards during Sunday's 19-7 loss to the Jaguars.

Over Njoku's last two games, the rookie tight end has only been able to haul in two catches for 16 yards, as Seth DeValve continues to get most of the playing time in coach Hue Jackson's offense. Njoku's one target Sunday was his lowest total of the season, and he hasn't been able to find the end zone since Oct. 8. The 21-year-old has 20 receptions for 211 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Allen logged 25 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-8 win over the Raiders, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

Allen, whose first catch of the season came Week 10, hauled in both of his targets Sunday for 24 yards. The arrival of fellow tight end Martellus Bennett hasn't cost Allen his blocking-heavy role in the Patriots offense, but there's still minimal fantasy upside to be had here, as long as Rob Gronkowski remains healthy.

Henry was a non-factor in the 54-24 rout of the Bills on Sunday, catching two of his five targets for 25 yards.

It's clear by this point that Henry is merely the third or fourth option in the Chargers' balanced passing attack, as the offense continues to work through Melvin Gordon and Keenan Allen. Despite seeing the fourth-most targets on the team, Henry is firmly muddled in an offense content on spreading the ball around, and as a result remains simply a high-end secondary option at tight end for fantasy owners.

Everett caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 24-7 loss to Minnesota.

The rookie tight end was on the field for just 19 of 59 offensive snaps, as Tyler Higbee continues to receive more playing time. As a result, it's difficult to rely on Everett in any seasonal fantasy setting. However, the South Alabama product is definitely still a solid prospect to consider stashing in deep keeper/dynasty leagues.

Higbee caught just one of his five targets for five yards during Sunday's 24-7 loss to Minnesota.

This was another discouraging showing from Higbee. He remains atop the depth chart and played 44 of 59 offensive snaps Sunday, but the fantasy numbers haven't been there. The second-year tight end has just 18 receptions for 214 yards and a score through 10 games. He checks out as a desperation option in the majority of settings.

Swaim (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Swaim didn't play last week against the Falcons after injuring his knee in practice. However, he returned to the fold this week and participated in every practice Wednesday through Friday. His availability for Sunday made rookie Blake Jarwin a healthy scratch.

Kroft is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Denver due to a right hand injury.

The severity of the injury is unknown, but if Kroft is unable to return, he'll finish the day with two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards and one touchdown. The next men up at tight end for the Bengals are C.J. Uzomah and Ryan Hewitt.

Seals-Jones snagged three of five targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-21 loss to Houston.

The rookie out of Texas A&M entered Sunday without a catch to his name. He got his first just before halftime on an 11-yard out for a touchdown. He liked it so much that he reeled in a 28-yard jump ball for a touchdown in the third quarter. Arizona has gotten very little production out of tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Troy Niklas. Seals-Jones may very well be a one-hit wonder, but with so few dependable targets opposite Larry Fitzgerald, expect Arizona to look to find out in the weeks ahead.
