  • Nick Kallerup TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Nick Kallerup: No targets in Week 17

    Kallerup went without a target while playing seven of the Seahawks' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

    The undrafted rookie tight end out of Minnesota has now suited up in nine consecutive games for the Seahawks, but he's been targeted just once during that stretch and has yet to notch his first NFL reception.

  • Payne Durham TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Payne Durham: No targets in Week 17

    Durham went without a target while taking the field for nine of the Buccaneers' 67 offensive plays in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Durham has suited up for all 16 of the Buccaneers' games to date but continues to remain an afterthought in the passing game as Tampa Bay's No. 2 tight end behind Cade Otton. He's drawn just three targets on 43 routes across his 333 offensive snaps on the season, totaling one catch for 11 yards.

  • Devin Culp TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Limited to special teams in Week 17

    Culp played all 13 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    After he was a healthy inactive for the Buccaneers' Week 16 loss to the Saints, Culp suited up as Tampa Bay's third tight end in Week 17, but he didn't see any run on offense behind Cade Otton and Payne Durham. For the season, Culp has recorded one reception -- a six-yard touchdown -- on his lone target in 12 appearances for Tampa Bay.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Will be limited Tuesday

    Kittle (ankle) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

    Kittle sat out all three of the 49ers' practices last week due to a left ankle sprain before ultimately missing this past Sunday's 42-38 win over the Bears. His return to the field Tuesday would seem to give Kittle a decent chance of returning for Saturday's regular-season finale versus the Seahawks. In Kittle's absence against Chicago, Jake Tonges played 69 percent of the offensive snaps and produced a useful 7-60-1 receiving line on nine targets.

  • Cardinals' Rivaldo Fairweather: Poached by Arizona

    The Cardinals signed Fairweather to the active roster from the Cowboys' practice squad, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Fairweather has spent the entire 2025 regular season on the Cowboys' practice squad but now finds himself as tight end No. 5 on the Cardinals' active roster. The team took the opportunity to upgrade its depth at tight end, releasing Messiah Swinson from the practice squad in another Tuesday move.

  • Elijah Higgins TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Held without catch Sunday

    Higgins didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati.

    After racking up a career-best 7-91-0 line on eight targets Week 16 against the Falcons, Higgins fell back to earth this past Sunday, notching no catches for the third time in 16 games this season. Because he routinely is a distant second to Trey McBride in the TE pecking order in Arizona, Higgins doesn't hold much sway in an offense that also has seen WR Michael Wilson emerge as one of QB Jacoby Brissett's favorite targets over the last seven games -- Wilson has 80 targets to McBride's 73 during that span. Higgins' recent eight-target performance aside, he has only nine total targets in the other six contests in that stretch, keeping him firmly out of fantasy consideration heading into Sunday's road matchup with the Rams.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Scores in back-to-back weeks

    Ferguson secured two of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown during Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.

    Midway through the third quarter, Ferguson was able to get wide open in the end zone and secure a 27-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford, starting a series of 21 unanswered points for the Rams. Colby Parkinson had significantly more snaps compared to Ferguson (51 to 32), and turned them into a respectable seven targets and six catches for 53 yards, but it's clear that Ferguson possesses a big-play ability that has helped him earn touchdowns in the past two contests. Davis Allen failed to record a target and Tyler Higbee (ankle) is still on injured reserve, but Parkinson's presence limits the upside of the upward-trending Ferguson heading into the regular season finale against the Cardinals in Week 18.

  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: Held without catch

    Allen failed to draw a target during Monday's 27-24 loss to the Falcons.

    Monday's contest felt like a shift in the dynamic of the tight end grouping for the Rams, with Colby Parkinson leading the group with seven targets and six catches for 53 yards, while Terrance Ferguson broke through with two big catches, including a 27-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. Allen's 27 snaps on offense were the lowest he's recorded since Week 13 against Carolina, and Parkinson's 51 snaps marked the first truly significant separation in snap share for the trio of tight ends since Tyler Higbee (ankle) went on injured reserve. Given Parkinson's emergence and Ferguson's big-play ability starting to emerge in the past two weeks, Allen's arrow seems to be trending down heading into the regular-season finale against the Cardinals in Week 18.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Gets surgery, likely out for season

    Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that Washington underwent surgery Tuesday to address a broken forearm and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Tomlin was reluctant to say whether Washington's surgery would keep him sidelined for a potential playoff run, but Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette relays that the Steelers aren't expecting the tight end back for the postseason even if Pittsburgh clinches the AFC North title with a victory over the Ravens. The Steelers appear set to head into Week 18 with Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Connor Heyward as their available options at tight end. Washington concludes his third NFL season with 31 catches for 364 yards and a touchdown on 43 targets over 16 appearances.

  • Ross Dwelley TE | DET

    Ross Dwelley: Signs with Carolina

    The Panthers signed Dwelley to the practice squad Tuesday.

    Dwelley appeared in 11 games with the Lions this season before being cut earlier this month. Across those 11 appearances, Dwelley caught two of five targets for seven yards. He gives Carolina depth at tight end after Ja'Tavion Sanders suffered a season-ending broken ankle in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.
