Chigoziem Okonkwo TE | TEN
Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Held to one catch
Okonkwo recorded one catch (on one target) for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers.
Will Levis returned under center after a three-game absence, and he failed to get any of Tennessee's tight ends involved. Okonkwo accounted for the position group's only reception while being on the field for only 55 percent of offensive snaps. He's now been held to 15 or fewer receiving yards in three of his last five contests.

Tanner Conner TE | MIA
Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Questionable to return Monday
Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Rams.
The tight end, who has played mostly on special teams this season, did not record a stat before exiting. Conner has three catches for 16 yards and no touchdowns in 2024.

Grant Calcaterra TE | PHI
Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: No catches with Goedert back
Calcaterra finished with zero catches (on one target) in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.
Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards on 4.0 targets over the previous four weeks with Dallas Goedert out with a hamstring injury, but his role in the offense all but evaporated with Goedert back in action iWeek 10. That's likely to remain the case going forward, as Calcaterra averaged just one catch for 14 yards prior to Goedert's injury.

Mitchell Wilcox TE | NE
Mitchell Wilcox: Reverts to practice squad
Wilcox reverted to New England's practice squad Monday.
Wilcox played one offensive snap and six on special teams during Sunday's victory over the Bears. The 28-year-old has now appeared in two games this season and is eligible to be elevated just one more time.

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Tending to hamstring injury
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Kittle is dealing with "hamstring irritation" in the wake of Sunday's win at Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Kittle has been listed with hamstring, rib and foot issues on injury reports this season, but he's still logged more than 85 percent of the offensive snaps in seven of his eight appearances en route to a cumulative 43-560-7 line on 53 targets. Shanahan said the current health concern will be watched as the week continues, putting Kittle's status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks at least somewhat in question.

Adam Trautman TE | DEN
Broncos' Adam Trautman: Targeted once against Kansas City
Trautman secured his lone target for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Trautman was targeted just once for the second straight week despite continuing to operate as Denver's No. 1 tight end. The veteran played 34 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps, while Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull were on the field for 21 and 12 snaps, respectively. As has been the case for the majority of the season, Trautman is not seeing enough consistent volume to be a viable fantasy option most weeks. The 27-year-old should continue to struggle to produce fantasy relevant numbers when the Broncos host the Falcons in Week 11.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Continues consistent production
Johnson tallied four catches (on six targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's Week 10 overtime loss to the Panthers in Germany.
Johnson finished third on New York in targets, fourth in receiving yards and tied for third in catches in the defeat. He's by no means putting up elite fantasy numbers, but with at least three catches and 30 yards in five of his past six games, the rookie tight end is at least establishing a reliable floor. Johnson has seen six targets in each of his past two contests, suggesting that he's emerging as an appealing option for quarterback Daniel Jones.

Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Estimated as non-practice participant
Goedert (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
In his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Goedert logged a 63 percent snap share while catching two of his three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 win over Dallas. The fact that the tight end is listed with an ankle issue on Monday's report is worth noting, with added context on his status for Thursday night's game against the Commanders slated to arrive no later than Tuesday's practice.

N'Keal Harry TE | SEA
N'Keal Harry: Links up with Seattle
The Seahawks signed Harry to their practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Harry was dropped from the Vikings' practice squad in late October, but it now appears he's found a new home in Seattle. The 2019 first-round pick most recently appeared in nine games with the Vikings in 2023, failing to record a stat across 69 total snaps (20 offensive and 49 on special teams). He could be elevated to the Seahawks' active roster if their wide-receiver corps faces injuries later this season.

Sam LaPorta TE | DET
Lions' Sam LaPorta: Day-to-day, per coach
Head coach Dan Campbell relayed Monday that LaPorta is viewed as day-to day-with the shoulder injury he sustained during Week 10 action, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
With that in mind, Campbell indicated that he's "hopeful" LaPorta can play Sunday against the Jaguars. The tight end's status thus is worth monitoring carefully in the coming days, but if LaPorta is limited or out this weekend, Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra would be in line to see added opportunities Week 11.
