Graham caught six of nine targets for a team-leading 89 yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

No other Seahawks receiver topped 38 yards, so Graham was by far the team's most productive player in the passing game. The tight end has flipped a switch over the last three weeks, with 18 catches for 302 yards and a touchdown over that span. He finally looks to be approaching his elite Saints form after starting off slow in Seattle.

James caught two passes on three targets for 13 yards in the Steelers' 30-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Through six games this season James has been somewhat inconsistent, and has failed to exceed 40 receiving yards in all but one contest. His three touchdowns have salvaged otherwise lackluster outings, making him difficult to start. With Ladarius Green (ankle) returning to practice, and Ben Roethlisberger (knee) facing surgery, James' fantasy value could be further lessened over the next few weeks.

Allen left Sunday's game against the Texans with an ankle injury, and he was ruled out for the rest of the night shortly thereafter, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

Allen accounted for the Colts' first two targets of the game, but he couldn't make it through the first quarter, and it didn't take long for the team to rule him out. Jack Doyle already plays a lot and is now left as the top tight end, with Erik Swoope serving as the backup. Should Allen miss any further time, Doyle might find himself in an every-down role, potentially absorbing a good chunk of his teammate's targets (five per game). Neither tight end has individually topped six targets in a game this season, but they did combine for at least nine in four out of five games entering Sunday.

Gray (calf) will play Sunday against the Steelers.

Gray suffered the calf injury last week, but it doesn't appear to be too severe, thereby allowing the tight end to play on Sunday. As a No. 3 tight end, don't expect Gray to see too many targets, although he could play an important role on special teams.

Amaro (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Browns.

Amaro was able to escape this week's injury report, so it looks like he'll be a healthy scratch for the home matchup against Cleveland. Delanie Walker and Anthony Fasano will serve as the primary tight ends for the 2-3 Titans in the afternoon contest.

Manhertz was waived by the Saints on Saturday, Larry Holder of the Times-Picayune reports.

Manhertz had been the Saints' No. 3 tight end and he saw just 15 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the first five weeks. He was waived to clear room for wide receiver Jacob Lampman.

Bowman (knee) has been removed from the Jets' final Week 6 injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

Bowman practiced in full on Saturday after being limited earlier in the week and sitting out in Week 5. He's still the team's last option at tight end and shouldn't be looked to for much fantasy output.

Gray (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Gray suffered his injury in Week 5, but it doesn't appear overly serious. He was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, so it would be a surprise if he's held out Sunday. However, Gray's yet to catch a pass this season, so his fantasy value is essentially nil.

Henry caught six of his eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's win over the Broncos.

Henry was the lone fantasy bright spot for the Chargers, as the rookie tight end was repeatedly able to find open seams in the defense throughout the first half which resulted in a team-high eight targets. Even with starting tight end Antonio Gates returning from a hamstring injury last week, Henry still has recorded over 70 receiving yards in each of the last two contests and looks to have gotten into a rhythm with quarterback Philip Rivers. Henry figures to see plenty of targets again when the Chargers face off against the Falcons next Sunday.

Uzomah (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

With Tyler Eifert (back) still out of practice and looking less-and-less likely to play against the Patriots, Uzomah could be in line to see increased action Sunday. If Eifert is ruled out, the 23-year-old will compete with Tyler Kroft for first team reps, although Uzomah could be at a disadvantage when factoring in his ankle injury. Look for more updates on the Bengals' tight end situation to emerge as kickoff nears.
