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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Conklin (ankle) caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.

Conklin played 45 offensive snaps to Jeremy Ruckert's 20, but both Jets tight ends got only two targets, with Kenny Yeboah adding a catch on one of his five snaps. After a six-game stretch in which Conklin averaged 5.7 targets, he has turned four targets into just five yards over the past two games. He'll look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Colts.

Allen secured five of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.

With Colby Parkinson's role shrinking over the past few weeks, Allen took over the primary tight end role this week, and the second-year tight end out of Clemson enjoyed season-high usage (56 out of 70 snaps on offense) to go along with a massive uptick in production. Parkinson (11 snaps) and Hunter Long (nine snaps) both failed to record a target in the contest. A tough task lies in wait in Week 11 against a Patriots defense that just held Cole Kmet to two catches for 13 yards as part of a complete shutdown of the Bears' offense.

Smith brought in three of four targets for 45 yards in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.

Smith had one of the Dolphins' two catches of 30-plus yards on the night and tied Jaylen Waddle for the team lead in receptions. The veteran tight end also checked in second in both receiving yards and targets, and Smith now has between 45 and 96 receiving yards in four of his last five games. He's also now logged 16 targets from Tua Tagovailoa over the quarterback's first three games back from his IR stint due to a concussion, keeping Smith in the fantasy conversation at the fickle tight end position heading into a favorable Week 11 home matchup against the Raiders.

Higgins hauled in both of his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-6 victory versus the Jets.

Higgins now has recorded exactly two catches in three consecutive games, resulting in a modest 6-60-0 line on six targets. In Week 10, he ranked third (49 percent) among Cardinals tight ends in snap share behind Trey McBride (71 percent) and blocking specialist Tip Reiman (59 percent). In an offense that focuses heavily on James Conner, Marvin Harrison and McBride, Higgins' value is firmly capped.

Okonkwo recorded one catch (on one target) for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.

Will Levis returned under center after a three-game absence, and he failed to get any of Tennessee's tight ends involved. Okonkwo accounted for the position group's only reception while being on the field for only 55 percent of offensive snaps. He's now been held to 15 or fewer receiving yards in three of his last five contests.
