Titans' Phillip Supernaw: Loses costly fumble
Supernaw caught both of his targets for 16 yards, and lost a key fumble late in the fourth quarter in Thursday's loss to Jacksonville.
Supernaw got his first receiving action of the season, but he may not get another shot after fumbling in the final minutes with the Titans trailing by a field goal. The depth tight end is significantly outclassed by Delanie Walker and even Anthony Fasano on Tennessee's priority list.

Joseph Fauria: Joins Patriots' practice squad
Fauria has joined the Patriots' practice squad, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
The 6-foot-7, 267-pounder displayed some red zone prowess as a rookie with the Lions in 2013, but at this stage, he's merely insurance for the Patriots in the event of an injury to one of the team's currently-rostered tight ends: Rob Gronkowski, Scott Chandler or Michael Williams.

Jimmy Graham TE | NO
Seahawks' Jimmy Graham: Struggles in loss to Cardinals
Graham caught three passes for 41 yards on eight targets in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Cardinals.
Graham drew a pass interference penalty and had a 30-yard gain, but he also dropped a couple of passes. He and Doug Baldwin accounted for 18 of Seattle's 24 targets, with no other player getting more than two. Though still a solid option in most formats, Graham now has five games this season with four or fewer catches and fewer than 50 receiving yards. He'll face an easier defense in Week 11, but the Seahawks probably won't need to throw a lot in order to beat the 49ers.

Zach Ertz TE | WAS
Eagles' Zach Ertz: Heavily-targeted in loss to Dolphins
Ertz caught seven of his 10 targets for 68 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.
Ertz was the most heavily-targeted Eagle on Sunday, setting season-highs in catches and yardage. The third-year tight end has yet to find the end zone this year, and his modest season totals suggest that he has yet to make the leap many anticipated from him heading into the season. Philadelphia will host the Buccaneers in Week 11, and Ertz should remain a solid, albeit lackluster fantasy option.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Just five catches for 36 yards
Kelce (groin) caught 5-of-9 targets for just 36 yards in Sunday's 29-13 win at Denver.
While Kelce was quiet Sunday, Alex Smith threw for just 204 yards, with 80 of those yards coming on a fourth-quarter touchdown to RB Charcandrick West. Kelce really hasn't made a major impact since Week 1, when he caught 6-of-6 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He's not seeing a large number of targets either, with seven looks or less in six of nine games this season. Things do open up for Kansas City, however, with a string of soft passes defenses coming up on the schedule. Kelce could bounce back next week at San Diego, which has hasn't defended opposing TEs all that well this season.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Active Sunday
Kelce (groin) is active for Sunday's game in Denver, Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star reports.
Kelce has landed on the injury report at times this season with a groin issue, but his game-day availability has never been in question. In Week 10, he'll seek to produce against a Broncos defense that has allowed three touchdowns to tight ends over the past three games.

Giants' Larry Donnell: Won't play against Patriots
Donnell (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
With Donnell missing a second straight game, the Giants will again turn to undrafted rookie Will Tye, who struggled in last week's win over the Buccaneers. Donnell hopes to return after the Giants' bye week for a Week 12 game against the Redskins.

Larry Donnell TE | BAL
Giants' Larry Donnell: On pace for another absence in Week 10
Donnell appears on pace to sit out Sunday versus the Patriots due to his sore neck. According to Dan Graziano of ESPN New York, Donnell said that he "tried" to make a case for playing in Week 10, but the Giants will likely hold out the tight end.
With the Giants' bye week to follow, Donnell will be afforded additional time to rest his sore neck, which he confirmed isn't 100 percent with Josina Anderson of ESPN. Donnell himself believes that the best course of action is a return in Week 12 at Washington. With the stars aligning against active status this Sunday, expect the organization to make a clear declaration regarding his status in the near future.
