  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Makes one catch in season finale

    Hill secured his only target for eight yards during Miami's 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Hill suited up for 14 regular-season games across the course of the 2025 campaign, securing 15 of 20 targets for a career-high 140 receiving yards. He's set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning the Dolphins will have the right to match any offer he receives from another team. Top tight ends Darren Waller (IR, groin) and Greg Dulcich are both slated to become unrestricted free agents, meaning Hill could face a relatively open depth chart if he does return to Miami. Still, Hill is primarily a blocking tight end and seems unlikely to ever emerge as a consistent target in the passing game.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Strong second half in Sunday's win

    Freiermuth brought in three of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Ravens.

    Freiermuth continued his recent trend of coming on late in games when he missed both of his targets in the first half before erupting for 51 yards on three receptions after halftime. The 26-year-old generated a 44-537-4 receiving line while operating in a TE rotation also featuring Darnell Washington (forearm) and Jonnu Smith (38-222-2) in 2025. Freiermuth should continue receiving extra looks in the playoffs after Washington was placed on IR after suffering an injury in Week 17.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: One catch in season finale

    Ferguson caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

    Ferguson was able to play in Week 18 after opening the week limited at practice with a calf issue, but he was limited to just one catch for the second straight week. The tight end sputtered into the finish line this season, failing to reach 20 receiving yards in each of his final four contests. Ferguson completed his fourth campaign in Dallas having reeled in a career-high 82 passes on 102 targets for 600 yards and eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and he'll likely enter next year as the team's undisputed No. 1 tight end.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Low volume without starting QB

    Gadsden brought in both of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.

    Gadsden was one of a handful of key players on offense allowed to take the field for the Chargers in Week 18. The 2025 fifth-round pick was able to add a couple of receptions to his rookie total, bringing his final line up to 49-664-3 in 15 appearances this regular season. While the tight end certainly surpassed expectations as a rookie, Gadsden's inconsistent play down the stretch makes him a risky DFS play in the wild-card round, even with QB Justin Herbert back under center.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Three catches in victory

    Mayer caught three of five targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 14-12 win over the Chiefs.

    Mayer was able to pace the team with 47 yards while reeling in at least three passes for the fifth time in his last eight contests. The tight end finished his third campaign in Las Vegas having caught 35 of 50 targets for 328 yards and one touchdown over 13 regular-season contests. Mayer will enter next year as the top reserve option behind Brock Bowers (knee) at tight end with the Raiders.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Secures touchdown in win

    Bellinger caught both of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.

    Bellinger was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight week, most notably notching a 29-yard score in the second quarter. The tight end finished his fourth year in New York having caught 19 of 26 targets for a career-high 286 yards and two scores over 16 regular-season contests. Bellinger will be a free agent this offseason, and considering that the Giants appear to have found their long-term starter in Theo Johnson (illness), Bellinger may not return to New York next year. The 25-year-old has yet to exceed 30 catches in an NFL campaign, likely limiting potential interest in him on the open market.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Hits more milestones

    Kelce recorded three receptions on six targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders.

    The Chiefs predictably struggled to move the ball with the combination of Chris Oladokun and Shane Buechele leading the offense. Kelce still managed to hit a few milestones to add to his storied career, becoming the third tight end to 13,000 receiving yards in his career while also recording at least 75 receptions for the 10th straight season. Retirement rumors will now become prevalent until Kelce makes a decision about his playing future, and this could prove to be his final game in the NFL.

  • Greg Dulcich TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Greg Dulcich: Logs three catches in finale

    Dulcich brought in three of four targets for 31 yards in the Dolphins' 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Dulcich had the opportunity to function as the clear No. 1 tight end due to Darren Waller's placement on injured reserve with a groin injury, but the former was unable to generate meaningful production while working with rookie signal-caller Quinn Ewers (knee). Dulcich did have an encouraging stretch run in Miami, however, reviving a career that had been stuck in neutral since a solid 2022 rookie season in Denver by posting a 26-335-1 line on 33 targets across 10 games. Dulcich played 2025 on a one-year deal, so it remains to be seen if the Dolphins will be interested in a reunion or allow him to test the open market.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Five catches in Week 18 win

    Henry brought in all five targets for 56 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Henry led the Patriots across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the season finale, earning a $250,000 incentive in his contract in the process by getting to the 60-catch threshold for the season. The veteran tight end displayed excellent rapport with second-year breakout signal-caller Drake Maye throughout the 2025 campaign, allowing Henry to amass a career-high 768 receiving yards and also post seven touchdowns over 17 games. Henry should remain one of Maye's favorite targets during the upcoming postseason, beginning with next weekend's home matchup against the Chargers in the wild-card round.

  • Dawson Knox TE | BUF

    Bills' Dawson Knox: Secures TD in Week 18 win

    Knox caught both of his targets for 24 yards and one touchdown in the Bills' win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Despite the Bills resting Josh Allen and James Cook for most of the game, Buffalo let both Dalton Kincaid and Knox in on more action against New York, even though Knox saw only four offensive snaps. Knox appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2025, securing 36 of 49 targets for 417 yards and four touchdowns. He'll play a big role as a blocker and red-zone target for Allen in the playoffs.
