Kelce caught five of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's win over Jacksonville. He was ejected after throwing his towel at a referee, ESPN reports.

Kelce lost his cool after a flag wasn't thrown on what he thought should have been a pass interference call in the end zone. Before getting tossed in the fourth quarter, Kelce had put together his sixth game with five or more caches of the season, including a beautiful 23-yard fade connection with backup quarterback Nick Foles. Among the most consistent performers at the tight end position, Kelce could see a bump in targets should Jeremy Maclin miss any time with a groin injury.

Allen (ankle) caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-26 win at Green Bay.

Allen, making his first appearance since Oct. 16, caught his lone pass around the goal line early in the first quarter. Meanwhile, fellow TE Jack Doyle had a solid game, catching five of nine targets for 61 yards. Allen should be well rested for the Colts' next game in Week 11 against Tennessee.

Ertz led the Eagles with eight receptions and 97 yards on eight targets during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Giants.

Carson Wentz registered a career high in passing yardage as the Eagles trailed throughout the game, and Ertz was the biggest beneficiary as he posted his highest yardage total of the season by a considerable margin. He also managed to break off a long gain of 30 yards and registered a season high in receptions. In what has been a largely disappointing season, Ertz's productive game was a positive sign for his fantasy value and he will have the opportunity to put on a repeat performance next week versus a Falcons defense that has proven susceptible to strong tight end play.

Allen (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Allen, who last suited up on Oct. 16, is out there if you need him Sunday, but it remains to be seen how close to 100 percent he'll be in his return to action. Meanwhile, Jack Doyle, who helped fill in at TE while Allen was out, should also remain in the mix this week, along with Erik Swoope.

Pruitt (coach's decision) will be inactive for Sunday's contest against the Lions.

Pruitt's knee issue appears to be behind him, although he'll be a healthy scratch in Week 9 as the Vikings deploy Kyle Rudolph and Rhett Ellison as their only options at tight end.

Graham (knee) was a full participant at Saturday's practice and is not listed on the Seahawks' final game status report, Liz Mathews of ESPN reports.

Graham will therefore be good to go against the Bills on Monday. His effectiveness will likely rely on what Russell Wilson is able to do in the passing game, but it is slightly discouraging that the Bills have given up only 288 yards and two touchdowns to tight ends this season. Still, even considering that Wilson has not thrown a touchdown since Week 4, Graham is likely the best option you have at tight end and is worthy of a start given his ability.

Duarte has been promoted to the Dolphins' active roster.

Duarte's promotion to the active roster comes in the wake of Jordan Cameron being sent to the injured reserve list. The rookie tight end will merely be a reserve option for the Dolphins, though he might have a chance to eventually gain a role on special teams.

Graham (knee) was limited at practice Friday, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.

Per the Seattle Times, Graham has been given rest at times this season, so we suspect that the tight end's limitations Friday were precautionary. We'll revisit his status Saturday once the Seahawks release their final injury report of the week in advance of Monday night's game against the Bills.

Henry (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

It makes sense that the Chargers would rest Henry, as the rookie tight end was unable to practice all week with a lingering knee injury. Although his injury isn't considered very serious, the Chargers' Week 11 bye could potentially impact his status for next weekend's game against the Dolphins, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. For now though, this opens the door for the ageless veteran Antonio Gates to receive a few additional targets against a Titans defense that hasn't been stellar against tight ends this season.

Allen (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay. However, earlier in the day head coach Chuck Pagano said he's expected to play but not be 100 percent healthy, Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reports.

It sounds like Allen will be able to play, but he may be a risky option for fantasy owners considering he won't be at full strength.
