  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Snags just three passes versus Oakland

    Kelce caught just three passes on three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Alex Smith attempted just 22 passes on the day, as the Chiefs focused heavily on the ground game Sunday. Kelce's production suffered as a result, despite facing a weak Raiders pass defense. Still, Kelce is one of the centerpieces of Kansas City's passing attack and should have another opportunity at a good week against the Saints in Week 7.

  • Chase Coffman TE | IND

    Chase Coffman: Signed by Colts

    Coffman was signed by the Colts on Tuesday, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

    Coffman was with the Colts for training camp and the preseason, but he failed to land a spot on the final roster. With top TE Dwayne Allen (ankle) considered week-to-week and likely to miss at least one game, Coffman will provide depth behind Jack Doyle and Erik Swoope.

  • Austin Hooper TE | ATL

    Falcons' Austin Hooper: Targetless in loss

    Hooper was held without a target in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Hooper has only seen more than one target in one game this season, so he hasn't been able to get in much of a rhythm in the offense. He'll look to bounce back Week 7 against the Chargers.

  • Tevin Westbrook: Signed to practice squad Monday

    Westbrook was signed to the Bucs' practice squad Monday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    The former Florida Gator and reserve tight end spent time on the Bucs practice squad last season and was elevated to the active roster in Week 17. With four tight ends currently on the active roster and the fact that he's a converted defensive lineman, Westbrook shapes up as an ongoing developmental project.

  • Larry Donnell TE | BAL

    Giants' Larry Donnell: Catches six passes

    Donnell caught six of seven targets for 34 yards against the Ravens Sunday.

    He was part of Ben McAdoo's dink-and-dunk attack but made a mental error, going out of bounds to stop the clock before getting a first down, forcing the Giants into a 4th-and-1. Still, he's the team's starting tight end for now.

  • Dwayne Allen TE | NE

    Colts' Dwayne Allen: Considered week-to-week

    Allen (sprained ankle) is considered week-to-week, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

    The wording suggests Allen will likely miss at least one game, likely leaving Jack Doyle as the team's top option at tight end temporarily. Considering that Allen and Doyle have cut into each other's targets all season, it's possible the latter could actually get more work than what's come to be expected of the man he's replacing. Allen's practice availability will still be worth monitoring later this week, as the Colts still haven't commented on his injury.

  • Titans' Phillip Supernaw: Two catches against Browns

    Supernaw caught both of his targets Sunday against the Browns.

    Supernaw has now tied his career high in receptions and yards with three and 32, respectively, this season. He serves mostly in a blocking role, and that hasn't changed even when starter Delanie Walker has sat.

  • Nick Vannett TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Nick Vannett: Plays sparingly in debut

    Vannett was on the field for just three of the Seahawks' 66 offensive snaps Sunday against the Falcons.

    The third-round rookie out of Ohio State spent the first five weeks of the season tending to a sprained ankle, but has finally made his professional debut. As expected, he wasn't subject to much game action after being listed as the No. 4 tight end on the team's depth chart. However, behind Jimmy Graham, only the injured Luke Willson (knee) -- who could be looking at an extended absence -- and Brandon Williams serve as impediments to an increased role in the offense.

  • Marcedes Lewis TE | DEN

    Jaguars' Marcedes Lewis: Not targeted in loss to Bears

    Lewis was not targeted in Sunday's Week 6 win over the Bears.

    The veteran picked up a touchdown in Week 2 against the Chargers but has otherwise been a near non-factor in the Jacksonville offense. He has only eight catches for 97 yards on the season and hasn't been targeted more than three times in any of the Jaguars' five games. Julius Thomas is firmly the tight end to own in Jacksonville, though even he has been disappointing as a fantasy commodity this season, and that trend continued Sunday (two catches, 28 yards).

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Eagles' Zach Ertz: Quiet Sunday in loss to Redskins

    Ertz caught one of his three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Redskins.

    Ertz was one of several Eagles skill players impacted by Carson Wentz's struggles, as the rookie managed just 179 passing yards on the day. In two games since returning from a rib injury, Ertz has managed just 59 yards and garnered a total of six targets. He's yet to reestablish himself as a go-to option on offense and will be a risky fantasy play next week against the vaunted Vikings defensive unit.
