  • 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.

  • Johnny Mundt TE | MIN

    Vikings' Johnny Mundt: Minimal role on offense

    Mundt did not have a target or reception in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.

    Mundt played just 18 snaps on offense and went out on three routes, as he's moved to a small role with the return of T.J. Hockenson from a knee injury.

  • Josh Oliver TE | MIN

    Vikings' Josh Oliver: Surprisingly bigger role in win

    Oliver had four receptions for 52 yards on six targets in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.

    Oliver had a large role in the passing game even with T.J. Hockenson back and playing at full speed in his return from a knee injury. Since Oliver is primarily a blocking tight end, it's hard to think his run the last two weeks (nine receptions for 110 yards) will continue, especially as Hockenson gets even more integrated into the offense.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Scores third touchdown of 2024

    Freiermuth secured all three of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.

    Freiermuth tallied just 5.7 yards per target Sunday, his second-lowest mark of the season. However, he reached the end zone in the second quarter to prop up his fantasy line. The 2021 second-rounder has now been held below 20 receiving yards in three of his last four appearances, and he hasn't seen more than three targets in a game since Week 4. Sunday's score was his first of the season with Russell Wilson under center.

  • Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Totals 25 yards

    Strange caught two of three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 12-7 loss to Minnesota.

    Strange finished second on the team in receiving yards, though that's not saying much on a day when fill-in quarterback Mac Jones threw for only 111 yards. The 2023 second-round pick has been occasionally involved in the passing game since the return of starter Evan Engram, but Strange shouldn't be on the fantasy radar while Engram is healthy.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: One catch in Week 10

    Henry, who logged 57 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his four targets in the contest for 14 yards.

    With the Patriots relying heavily on two-TE sets Sunday, Henry's teammate Austin Hooper was on the field for a season-high 41 snaps en route to catching three of his four targets for 64 yards. Given that he continues to see steady snaps in New England's Drake Maye-helmed offense, Henry -- who racked up 20 catches over his previous three outings -- is a bounce-back candidate in Week 11 versus the Rams.
