Pruitt had one reception for 13 yards in Sunday's win over Detroit. It was his first reception of the season.

Pruitt had two big plays in the preseason but played sparingly through the first five games. He has some upside if Kyle Rudolph gets hurt.

Wrigth caught one pass off of one target for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

In Eric Ebron's return to the lineup on Sunday Wright was on the field for just four offensive snaps, according to Pro Football Focus, and stayed in as a blocker on three of those plays. New offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter has worked on offensive staffs in Indianapolis and Denver that have used multiple tight ends, so there may be hope for Wright - but one would be advised to see it before believing it.

Waller (concussion) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

With Steve Smith, Kamar Aiken and Marlon Brown also in the Ravens' wideout mix, Waller is not a high-percentage fantasy play, with just two catches for 18 yards to his credit through five contests.

Dray had two receptions on two targets for 10 receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Dray has been a reserve at tight end thus far, tallying just four receptions on six targets through seven games. With 30 total receiving yards on the season, it is safe to say that Dray doesn't hold much fantasy value at his point.

Graham was targeted four times but did not have a reception in Sunday's 44-26 loss to the Dolphins.

Graham's caught four of 18 targets for 30 yards through seven games and is losing playing time to C.J. Fiedorowicz. Houston's tight end position has been unproductive and largely ignored in the passing game.

Kelce had five catches on six targets for a team-high 73 yards Sunday against the Steelers.

With No. 1 wideout Jeremy Maclin held out again because of a recent concussion, quarterback Alex Smith really spread the ball around, with seven different players getting targeted multiple times. Kelce is still the upside play in the Chiefs' passing game, but it's not a prolific unit, and the tight end has now gone six straight games without scoring a touchdown.

The Titans released Coffman on Saturday, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports.

Coffman was only active one time in the Titans' first six games, recording four catches (on six targets) for 42 yards in Week 2 against the Browns. Because the Titans will be without Harry Douglas (ribs) on Sunday versus the Falcons, Coffman was the fall guy in order to sign practice-squad wide receiver Rico Richardson.

Waller (concussion) was a full participant at Friday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.

Waller is set to return from a one-game absence for Monday's contest in Arizona, but he doesn't figure to see many snaps, likely working behind all of Steve Smith, Kamar Aiken and Marlon Brown. The Ravens might eventually give Waller a longer look, as the team clearly isn't headed for the playoffs and already knows what it has in Brown and Aiken.

Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew (knee) is listed as out for Sunday against the Vikings.

Pettigrew will sit for a fifth time in seven games, with his only appearances coming in Weeks 1 and 5. It's a small loss for the Detroit running game, but with Eric Ebron (knee) listed as probable, his limited receiving skills won't be missed.

Lions tight end Eric Ebron practiced in full Thursday.

Despite limited practices last week, his injured left knee forced a second absence in a row. However, with a full showing in his back pocket, he's seemingly on course for active status for the first time since Week 4. As long as he maintains his current level of health, he'll act as the Lions' No. 1 tight end due to Brandon Pettigrew's bout with a sore knee.
