Kittle corralled eight of nine targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Kittle led the 49ers in receiving Sunday en route to his third game with 100 or more receiving yards this season. The star tight end brought his season line up to 68-967-8 in 13 starts, putting him just 33 yards shy of his fourth career 1,000-yard campaign. Kittle has a great shot at reaching that achievement in Week 17 when the 49ers host the Lions for Monday Night Football.

Kmet caught two passes on two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Kmet found the end zone for the first time since Chicago's Week 7 bye. In the last three games, the tight end has a total of three receptions on three targets. Kmet has only one game with more than four targets over his last eight contests. Although the veteran is a talented player, his scoring floor remains low due to lack of volume.

Okonkwo secured nine of 11 targets for 81 yards in the Titans' 38-30 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also caught a pass on a two-point conversion.

The talented tight end had already recorded six catches in Week 15 against the Bengals after Mason Rudolph entered that game for an ineffective Will Levis, so Sunday's team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals weren't completely surprising. However, Okonkwo's numbers were still a significant boon for fantasy managers that might have been rolling with him in their playoff matchups with the hopes of an encore performance, and the third-year pro is clearly a viable tight end option as long as Rudolph is under center.

Conklin caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

Conklin finished nine receiving yards shy of Davante Adams' team-high total while tying Garrett Wilson for second on the team in targets, six back of Adams. This was Conklin's second-highest yardage total of the season, trailing only the 93 yards he compiled back in Week 3 against the Patriots. Conklin will play his penultimate game of the season in Week 17 against the Bills.

Higbee (knee) caught one of two targets for an 11-yard touchdown in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Jets.

Higbee's first catch of the season was an important one, as he scored to break a 9-9 tie with 10:11 left in the fourth quarter. He was making his season debut after tearing his right ACL in January. The veteran tight end was an above-average pass catcher at his position prior to the injury, but Higbee will likely be limited to a situational role for the remainder of the regular season. Up next for Higbee is a Week 17 home game against the Cardinals.

Njoku secured eight of 10 targets for 66 yards in the Browns' 24-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Making his return from a Week 15 absence due to a hamstring injury, Njoku led all Browns pass catchers in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran tight end unsurprisingly was a trusted option for second-year signal-caller Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and he's now posted at least seven catches in four of the last five games heading into a Week 17 home matchup against the Dolphins.

McBride had three receptions on four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to the Panthers.

McBride saw his usage plummet in Week 16 after finishing fifth in receiving yards for Arizona while tying his season low in targets (four). The PPR monster didn't live up to the billing for managers in the fantasy playoffs, with Sunday's output (5.0 points in PPR formats) marking his lowest through 16 starts in 2024. To add insult to injury, the third-year man remains without a receiving touchdown despite recording 92 receptions on the year. Expect better results from McBride in Week 17 in a road tilt against the Rams on Saturday.

LaPorta caught four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Bears.

A 21-yard touchdown catch on a trick play in the third quarter accounted for just under half of LaPorta's yards. The touchdown catch was LaPorta's sixth in the last 10 games after he opened the season with a four-game touchdown drought. LaPorta and the Lions will travel to San Francisco for Monday Night Football in Week 17.

Alie-Cox (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against Tennessee.

Alie-Cox entered the weekend questionable to play due to a hip injury, but he'll be able to take the field against the Titans. It would have been unusual to see the veteran tight end sidelined on game day, as he hasn't missed a regular-season contest since 2020. Alie-Cox hasn't been a big offensive contributor this year, though, as he has recorded a modest 11 catches for 132 yards and 1 touchdown through 14 games.

Njoku (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

The hamstring injury prevented Njoku from playing in last week's loss to the Chiefs, but he received the green light to play Sunday after returning to practice as a limited participant following a pair of absences to begin the week. Because he wasn't a full participant in practice at any point this week, Njoku's snaps could be managed to some degree Sunday. Even if Njoku faces no restrictions with his workload, his fantasy projection will likely take a hit with Dorian Thompson-Robinson taking over as the team's starting quarterback in place of Jameis Winston (shoulder).
