Stoll (knee) was placed on the injured reserve list Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The 27-year-old had already been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Falcons due to a knee injury, but he's now been placed on IR. Across 15 appearances in 2025, Stoll caught six of 11 targets for 46 yards and one touchdown while operating as one of New Orleans' top reserve tight ends. Expect the Saints' tight-end room to consist of Juwan Johnson, Taysom Hill, and Moliki Matavao in the Week 18 divisional matchup.

Oliver is set to operate as the Vikings' starting tight end during Sunday's season finale against the Packers with T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) ruled out for Week 18, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Oliver played 93 percent of offensive snaps during Minnesota's win over the Lions in Week 17 with Hockenson sidelined, though he was unable to rack up much production in that contest with fill-in quarterback Max Brosmer being limited to 51 passing yards. With J.J. McCarthy (hand) having been cleared to return to the starting lineup this weekend and the Packers expected to rest multiple key starters, Oliver will have a solid chance to close out the 2025 campaign on a positive note. While predominantly a blocker, Oliver has logged a career-high four touchdowns across 14 regular-season appearances in 2025, and he figures to be one of McCarthy's top targets in the red zone Week 18.

Johnson (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson didn't practice this week and will now miss a second straight game to close out his second pro season. He played in each of the first 15 games, catching 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson probably did enough to keep his starting job in 2026, but things can always change if the Giants fall in love with a free agent or draft pick.

Knox (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale at home against New York.

Knox will face an intriguing opportunity versus the Jets' reeling secondary Week 18 in the event that fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), who is officially listed as questionable, isn't able to suit up. If Kincaid can't go Sunday, Knox will start while rookie fifth-round pick Jackson Hawes handles No. 2 reps. Quarterback Josh Allen (foot) also has been cleared to play this weekend, though it remains to be seen how much the Bills will push key players, and whether the team will opt to have its starters play the entire game. Buffalo is currently the No. 7 seed on the AFC side of the playoffs, but the team could climb to the No. 5 or No. 6 spot with a win, dependent on matchup results around the league.

Mallory (lung) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Mallory was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss the Week 18 divisional matchup due to a lung issue. The third-year pro from Miami appeared in just two games for Indianapolis this season, catching his lone target for 16 yards across 16 offensive snaps. While Mallory is sidelined Sunday, expect Tyler Warren and Mo Alie-Cox to serve as the Colts' top tight ends.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he's optimistic that Pitts (knee) will be able to suit up for Sunday's season finale against New Orleans, but that the tight end is officially listed as questionable, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Morris offered identical evaluations for top wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee). Pitts fell down to earth during Atlanta's win over the Rams in Week 17, a contest in which he secured just two of three targets for 16 yards while Kirk Cousins completed just 13 passes. Across his prior four appearances, though, Pitts had averaged 98.8 receiving yards per game and totaled four receiving scores. If he's indeed cleared to suit up versus the Saints, the pending unrestricted free agent will have no shortage of motivation to log another performance reminiscent of those four outings.

Helm (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With Helm unavailable, Chig Okonkwo is slated to lead the Titans' Week 18 TE corps, with David Martin-Robinson also in the mix, while Cole Turner is a potential practice-squad elevation. Helm finishes up his rookie season with a 44-357-2 line (on 55 targets) in 16 contests. With Okonkwo in line to become an unrestricted free agent, the 2025 fourth-rounder could be positioned for an expanded role in 2026, pending the Titans' offseason moves at that tight end position.

Fannin (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

With David Njoku (knee/personal) also having been ruled out, Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates, along with potentially practice-squad member Sal Cannella, are slated to handle Cleveland's tight end duties Week 18. Fannin thus finishes his impressive rookie campaign with a team-high 72 catches (on 107 targets) for 731 yards and six TDs in 16 regular-season contests. Looking ahead, the 2025 third-rounder is a big part of the Browns' future and thus is in line to maintain fantasy utility next season, regardless of the inevitable personnel changes that are looming for the currently 4-12 team this coming offseason.

Njoku (knee/personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku being ruled out for Week 18 is no surprise, given that the last time he practiced or played was Week 14. He wraps the 2025 campaign with 12 regular-season appearances, in which span he secured 33 of 48 targets for 293 yards and four touchdowns, as his production dipped due to the emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin (groin), who also is ruled out for Sunday's game. That leaves Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates and practice-squad player Sal Cannella in position to man the Browns' tight end corps versus Cincinnati. Njoku is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, assuming the Browns allow his contract to void Feb. 10.

Njoku (knee/personal) is not participating in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku hasn't played or practiced since Week 14, and it appears he'll also miss Cleveland's season finale against the Bengals on Sunday. The emergence of rookie Harold Fannin (groin), who also isn't practicing Friday, caused Njoku's opportunities in the receiving game to decline, and it appears he'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 33-293-4 line (on 48 targets) across 12 regular-season appearances. Njoku is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, assuming the Browns allow his contract to void Feb. 10, and the 29-year-old tight end should have little issue finding an opportunity elsewhere in the league. He compiled three straight seasons with over 500 receiving yards from 2022-24.
