Jonnu Smith TE | PIT
Steelers' Jonnu Smith: No catches in Week 14
Smith failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's 27-22 win over Baltimore.
Smith has had limited involvement in the passing game during his first season with the Steelers, but he's been especially unproductive recently, securing just five of 10 targets for 31 yards while rushing twice for seven yards over his last five appearances. It's not yet clear whether Darnell Washington (concussion) will be forced to miss additional time after exiting Sunday's win, but Smith would still be battling Pat Freiermuth for snaps and targets if Washington is sidelined.

Cade Stover TE | HOU
Texans' Cade Stover: Used again as runner
Stover was not targeted in Sunday's 20-10 win over Kansas City in Week 14.
Stover's did get a carry on a 4th-and-1 in the red zone, but the play was wiped out by an offside penalty. Houston settled for a field goal instead. It was the fourth time in the last two games that the Texans used Stover as a runner, but unless he gets used at the goal line, that usage won't provide him with any fantasy appeal.

Durham Smythe TE | CHI
Bears' Durham Smythe: Blocking role holds steady
Smythe caught one pass for two yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Smythe has three receptions this season, all coming over his last four contests and totaling 14 yards. His primary usage as a blocker and third tight-end role keep him as a non-factor in fantasy lineups.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Quiet on five targets
Andrews recorded one catch on five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.
Fresh off a three-year extension, Andrews finished third on the team in targets behind Zay Flowers and Isaiah Likely. However, he was unable to turn that into much production and was held under 10 yards for the second time in the last three weeks. Andrews should bounce back thanks to his involvement in the Baltimore offense, though Isaiah Likely has been the more productive tight end on the roster in the last two contests.

Isaiah Likely TE | BAL
Ravens' Isaiah Likely: First touchdown of 2025
Likely recorded four receptions on six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.
Likely logged six targets for the second consecutive game, good enough for second on the team behind only Zay Flowers. While he turned in a modest yardage total, Likely caught a key four-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter -- his first score of the season. He also nearly had a second score with just under three minutes in the contest, though the play was overturned after originally being called a touchdown on the field. Likely has had some high-profile mistakes in the last two weeks, but he has also displayed rapport with Lamar Jackson and could be in position to close the season well.

Brenton Strange TE | JAC
Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Only 27 yards in blowout win
Strange recorded three receptions on six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.
Strange tied for second on the team with six targets, though he had little to show for it. His longest gain went for 16 yards on a reception late in the first quarter, and he also came up just short of the end zone on the Jaguars' first offensive possession while being targeted inside the 10. Strange has at least four targets in all three of his games since returning from injury, though this was his lowest yardage total in that span.

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Limited to 15 yards
Warren recorded two receptions on six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for two yards.
Warren maintained a solid role in the Colts' offense, finishing third on the team with six targets. However, he struggled to get on the same page with Riley Leonard, converting only one of his five targets into a catch, which went for only two yards. While that could change for the better moving forward, Warren's outlook has worsened due to Daniel Jones (Achilles) being out for the rest of the season.

Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Held to 22 yards
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.
Schultz maintained a significant role in the Houston offense, finishing third on the team in targets behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Collins was the only Texans pass catcher to reach at least 35 receiving yards, and Schultz was among those to post a muted stat line. He entered the game having topped 50 receiving yards in six of his last eight games, so he should return to better production in Week 15 against Arizona.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Turns in stinker on SNF
Kelce was held to one catch on five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.
Kelce was completely eliminated from Sunday's game plan, as he was held by Houston's dominant secondary to a season-low one reception. The Chiefs committed six drops altogether on Sunday Night Football, but none stood out more than the star tight end's late bobble that landed safely in the hands of the defense on his team's second-to-last possession. Kelce has provided fantasy managers with consistent weekly production outside of Sunday's dud, so a bounce-back outing could be in order against the Chargers next Sunday.

Greg Dulcich TE | MIA
Dolphins' Greg Dulcich: Three catches in blowout win
Dulcich caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.
Dulcich was able to reel in his most passes since Week 9, garnering two more targets than fellow tight end Darren Waller (one). Dulcich nearly had an even more substantial output, getting knocked out of bounds at the Jets' five-yard line on a 12-yard catch in the first quarter. The tight end will look to snag multiple passes for a fourth game in a row when the Dolphins travel to face Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football in Week 15.
