The Bills declared fullback Frank Summers (neck), tight end MarQueis Gray, linebacker Randell Johnson, offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio, wideout Marquise Goodwin (ankle) and defensive ends Jarius Wynn (knee) and Bryan Johnson inactive for Monday's game against the Jets.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano told reporters he isn't sure if tight end Dwayne Allen will practice this week, but indicated that he's making progress from a sprained ankle which he suffered in Week 11, per the team's official website.

"He's trending in the right direction but he’s going to be day to day," Pagano said.

The Colts will face Washington in Week 13.

Giants wide receiver Rueben Randle caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in his team's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys in Week 12.

Eli Manning was locked in on rookie Odell Beckham (10 catches, 146 yards, two TDs) and running back Rashad Jennings (eight catches, 68 yards), and Randle was one of the quarterback's six other targeted receivers to split 11 catches. Tight end Daniel Fells also secured three receptions for 35 yards, while tight end Larry Donnell managed just two receptions for 24 yards. Wide receiver Preston Parker caught one of his three targets for 16 yards, while tight end Adrien Robinson caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown.

Randle, Parker and the team's TE corps should continue to play a complementary role behind Beckham moving forward. The Giants will take on the Jaguars in Week 13.

Guess who's back in the headlines in Fantasy? The same tight end who sent everyone flocking to the waiver wire after his five-catch, 85-yard, touchdown-scoring performance in Week 5 and his seven-catch, 61-yard, touchdown-scoring performance in Week 8. The Patriots' Timothy Wright did one better Week 12 against Detroit, scoring two touchdowns on five catches for 36 yards.

But here's the problem: Aside from those three games -- which are pretty well spaced apart, you'll notice -- he has a total of six catches for 38 yards.

So should we be flocking to the waiver wire to add him again? A tight end doesn't score two touchdowns every week, you know.

Yeah ... but Wright doesn't do anything, not even catch a pass, every week. Why would that change now? The proper response to this performance is indignation that those two touchdowns didn't go to someone else. Don't make it anything more.

Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette led his team in receiving yards Sunday, catching his only target for 48 yards in his team's 19-3 win over the Cardinals in Week 12.

No one receiver was able to deliver a breakout performance on a day where the Seahawks led for most the game and attempted just 22 passes. Quarterback Russell Wilson hit nine different receivers with completions in the game, with tight end Tony Moeaki hauling in a team-high four catches for 34 yards.

Tight end Cooper Helfet caught both of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown, doing most of the work on the 20-yard score after catching the ball behind the line of scrimmage. Tight end Luke Willson (21 yards) and wide receivers Jermaine Kearse (19 yards) and Kevin Norwood (10 yards) each managed just one catch. Wide receiver Doug Baldwin caught two passes but for only six yards.

The Seahawks face a quick turnaround, with a Thursday night matchup with the 49ers on the schedule for Week 13.

Eagles tight ends Zach Ertz and Brent Celek combined for 78 yards during Sunday's victory over the Titans in Week 12.

Ertz made a brief trip to the locker room with an oblique injury before being cleared by the medical staff to return to the game in the second quarter. He was targeted six times and finished with four catches for 30 yards. Celek five of the seven passes thrown in his direction for 48 yards.

Meanwhile, the No. 3 tight end James Casey came down with a 14-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. It was his only catch of the game in a 43-24 victory.

Texans tight end Garrett Graham had a team-high 41 receiving yards on four catches during a 22-13 loss Week 12 vs. Cincinnati. He was targeted seven times and his longest reception went 16 yards.

The Texans are back in action Week 13 vs. Tennessee.

Patriots tight end Timothy Wright notched his first career two-touchdown game, leading his team to a 34-9 victory over the Lions in Week 12.

With Rob Gronkowski heavily covered, Wright came down 4-yard touchdown reception in the opening period. In the second quarter Wright hauled in an 8-yard pass from Tom Brady in the end zone for his second score of the day in the second quarter. He was targeted six times and finished with five grabs for 36 yards and two touchdowns.

Wright has 23 catches for 210 yards and six touchdowns on the season.

The Packers backup pass catchers didn't do much Week 12 against the Vikings.

Andrew Quarless pulled down two catches for 50 yards. He finished third on the team in receiving. Davante Adams had one catch, gaining 10 yards. John Kuhn also had one catch, picking up 9 yards. Richard Rodgers only had 1 yard, but had the biggest impact of the bunch. In the second quarter, he hauled in a 1 yard touchdown from Aaron Rodgers.

The bunch will look for more Week 13 against the Patriots. 

Several Rams who were on the injury report are active for Sunday's game at San Diego. The list includes tight end Cory Harkey (quadriceps), linebacker Daren Bates (groin), linebacker Will Herring (foot), linebacker James Laurinaitis (foot) and linebacker Jake McQuaide (back).
