  • Dawson Knox TE | BUF

    Bills' Dawson Knox: Nabs five receptions in spot-start

    Knox (knee) hauled in all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles.

    Knox got the start in place of Dalton Kincaid (knee) after barely practicing this week while dealing with a knee injury of his own. The veteran backup showed no visible limitations once the game kicked off, finishing the narrow loss with his second-highest reception and target totals through 16 appearances this season. Knox would have had an even bigger day had his touchdown grab in the fourth quarter not been overturned by replay review. Kincaid's Week 18 status is still uncertain, but Knox has been able to provide deep-league value down the stretch even in games the former has been active in, though it's worth noting the Bills may rest some key players in a finale that only affects seeding.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Scoring binge continues in Week 17

    Goedert brought in three of six targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-12 win over Buffalo.

    Goedert continues to be a red-zone magnet, catching his fourth touchdown over the Eagles' last three contests. The 30-year-old's career-best 11th touchdown grab helped offset the tight end's lowest yardage output to date in 2025. Goedert's nose for the end zone makes him an elite fantasy option against the Commanders in Week 18.

  • Taysom Hill TE | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Records zero yards in win

    Hill totaled three carries for zero rushing yards and did not record a target during Sunday's 34-26 win versus Tennessee.

    Hill didn't serve as the Saints' primary rusher as he did in last week's win versus the Jets. The 35-year-old has now logged three or fewer carries in four of the last five contests, and he's tallied 52 rushing attempts for 114 yards across 12 appearances this season. Hill has factored in as a receiver at times this season, but he's recorded a target in only six games this season, including just four games with one or more catches. Hill's irregular workload doesn't bode well for his fantasy production in the Saints' regular-season finale against Atlanta.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Fills in admirably for Bowers

    Mayer recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants.

    The Raiders didn't get much going through the air, but Mayer was responsible for the majority of the limited production. He led the team in every receiving statistic and logged five receptions of at least 11 yards. This was easily Mayer's most productive game of the season -- which came in the absence of Brock Bowers (knee) -- and he should be a favorite target of Kenny Pickett in Week 18 against the Chiefs.

  • Isaiah Likely TE | BAL

    Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Posts 27 yards in Saturday's win

    Likely caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Baltimore's 41-24 win over Green Bay on Saturday.

    After being blanked for zero catches in back-to-back games in Weeks 15 and 16 against the Bengals and Patriots, Likely was back involved in the offense. However, he's topped 30 receiving yards in a game just twice all season and has scored just one touchdown. Likely will be a touchdown-or-bust bet against the Steelers in next Sunday's pivotal Week 18 matchup for the AFC North title.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Four grabs in loss to Miami

    Otton caught all four of his targets for 33 yards in the Bucs' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    It marked Otton's highest yardage output since Week 10, but the tight end remains scoreless on the season. With all of the Bucs' wideouts healthy, Otton's a low-floor, low-ceiling fantasy bet ahead of next Saturday's Week 18 date with the Panthers. Otton caught just two passes for 15 yards on two targets against Carolina in Week 16.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: One catch in Week 17 loss

    Helm recorded one catch for seven yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Saints.

    For the second straight week, Helm was out-produced by Chig Okonkwo, who paced the Titans with 55 yards and one touchdown on three catches across a team-high seven targets against New Orleans. Through 16 games this season, Helm has logged a 44-357-2 receiving line on 55 targets.

  • Tyler Warren TE | IND

    Colts' Tyler Warren: Leads Colts pass catchers

    Warren recorded five receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.

    Philip Rivers spread targets around to a wide range of pass catchers, as at least five Colts earned at least three targets. Warren was second among the group, though he led the team in yardage thanks to long gains of 14 and 12 yards. This marked his highest yardage total in a game since Week 12, and he should remain a key part of the offense in Week 18 against the Texans, even with Indianapolis eliminated from playoff contention.

  • Jake Tonges TE | SF

    49ers' Jake Tonges: In line for expanded role Sunday

    Tonges is poised for a bigger role in the 49ers offense Sunday versus the Bears due to George Kittle (ankle) being inactive, Briana Jeannel of the team's official site reports.

    Kittle is missing his first contest since he sustained a mid-to-low ankle sprain last Monday at Indianapolis. When Kittle was sidelined in Weeks 2-6 due to a full tear of his hamstring that occurred in the season opener, Tonges was the primary pass-catching TE between himself and Luke Farrell, with the former accruing a 22-209-2 line on 31 targets during that span. Tonges thus is about as good of a streaming option remaining in the midst of fantasy championship weekend with just two games left in the Week 17 slate.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Officially inactive in Week 17

    Kittle (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Bears, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Kittle came out of last Monday's win at Indianapolis with a mid-to-low ankle sprain, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The health concern didn't allow Kittle to practice in any capacity during Week 17 prep, with GM John Lynch (via KNBR San Francisco) and coach Kyle Shanahan (per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com) implying Friday that the veteran tight end's status would come down to a game-time decision. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Sunday morning that Kittle was "highly unlikely" to suit up, and his lack of availability now has been confirmed. Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell will split TE duties in Kittle's absence, with the former more likely to contribute as a pass catcher.
