Swaim's pectoral injury suffered Sunday against the Steelers is believed to be serious, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Swaim's fantasy stock is restricted by his pegging behind Jason Witten at tight end, but his potential absence could hurt the Cowboys' blocking on the edge. If he's sidelined, Gavin Escobar would figure to see more playing time.

Henry caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

The touchdown saved what was an otherwise dull fantasy performance for the rookie tight end, as it was clear Henry wasn't healthy enough to take on a full workload. With a Week 11 bye on tap next, Henry should have plenty of time to heal before the final stretch of the season, but given the reemergence of veteran tight end Antonio Gates (13/171/3 in the last three weeks), Henry's fantasy value certainly appears to be in flux, and he likely shouldn't be considered anything better than bench fodder until proven otherwise.

Graham caught all four of his targets for 48 yards in Seattle's 31-24 win against the Patriots on Sunday.

The Patriots game planned to take out Graham, and for the most part they did. His production has been inconsistent this season, and for the fourth time in nine games, he did not get a red-zone target Sunday.

James totaled 59 yards on four receptions in Pittsburgh's 35-30 loss to Dallas on Sunday.

James was targeted four times, matching Ladarius Green, who made his Steelers' debut. While they may not be Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett, James and Green give Pittsburgh a formidable tight end tandem heading in to Week 11 against Cleveland.

Ertz caught six of seven targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-15 win over the Falcons.

Ertz came back to life with a strong performance last week and carried that over as he accounted for nearly a quarter of the team's receiving yards in the impressive win. His weekly potential will likely continue to suffer from the middling play of Carson Wentz, but Ertz could reestablish some fantasy value for himself if he continues to take advantage of the opportunities he is given. Next week will present a tough test as the Eagles travel to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seahawks.

Hooper caught just one of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Eagles.

Hooper appeared to be establishing himself as a useful piece for the Atlanta offense but he played a minimal role in this game and finished with one of his quietest showings of the season. He could a part to play in some matchups, but the depth of skill position players around him could make lean weeks such as this a common occurrence. Hooper and company will go on bye in Week 11 before taking on the Cardinals the following Sunday.

Swaim (pectoral) will not return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Swaim's absence will open the door for Gavin Escobar to see an increased role in the Cowboys' offense. Keep tabs on Swaim's status as Week 11 of practice commences.

Swaim suffered a pectoral injury in Sunday's game against the Steelers and is questionable to return, Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

As long as Swaim remains out of the game, Gavin Escobar will likely take over second-string tight end duties. More will likely be known about Swaim's status as Sunday's contest goes on.

Gray (ankle) will be active for Sunday's tilt against the Chargers.

Gray practiced in full on Friday, so it's not surprise that he'll be suited up and ready to go for Sunday's game. He's slated to serve as Dion Sims' backup at tight end.

Henry (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Henry is available if you need him this week, but the continued presence and health of veteran Antonio Gates makes the talented rookie TE something of a hit-or-miss Week 10 fantasy option in his return to action.
