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.

Okonkwo secured three of seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' 34-26 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Okonkwo co-led the Titans in receiving yards and targets during the loss, with the majority of his production coming on a nifty 43-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the second quarter. The athletic tight end has recorded both his TD grabs in the last two games, and he has a useful 9-99-2 line on 15 targets over his last two games heading into the Week 18 finale on the road against the Jaguars.

Strange caught three of five targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.

Strange finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Parker Washington's 115. This was the third time Strange has reached 50 receiving yards in 11 appearances this season, and he has at least three catches in nine of those 11 games. He'll look to close out the regular season on a high note when the Jaguars try to clinch the AFC South in Week 18 against the Titans.

Dulcich secured five of six targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed once for minus-7 yards.

Dulcich continued to outproduce position mate Darren Waller, logging team-high reception and target tallies. Dulcich also finished second in receiving yards behind Theo Wease, who recorded all 63 of his team-leading yardage on one play. Dulcich has carved out a solid stretch-run niche for himself in Miami's air attack, and he's eclipsed 40 receiving yards in four consecutive games heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale at New England.

Barner caught all three of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

The second-year tight end snagged his sixth TD of the season on a 17-yard connection with Sam Darnold. Barner has caught multiple passes in seven straight games, putting together a 29-269-2 line on 39 targets over that stretch. and with the Seahawks likely needing one more win to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC, he should see a significant workload again in Week 18 versus the 49ers.

Johnson brought in all four targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-26 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Johnson tied for second in receptions while checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards as well for the Saints, continuing a multi-week run of productive performances. The veteran tight end has at least four receptions in seven straight games, and he's recorded at least 89 receiving yards in three of those contests. Johnson heads into a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons already boasting a career-high 74 catches and 828 receiving yards across 16 games.

Henry caught all three of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Jets.

Henry scored his seventh receiving touchdown of the season on a 13-yard catch 31 seconds before halftime. That was the fourth of Drake Maye's five touchdown passes in the lopsided win. Henry will look to build on his season totals of 55 catches, 712 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in Week 18 against the Dolphins. New England would clinch the top seed in the AFC and a bye in the wild-card round with a win over the Dolphins and a Broncos loss to the Chargers.

Fannin, who left Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers with a groin injury, is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Per Jackson, the tight end's current issue is believed to be an aggravation of the groin injury that he suffered in practice Friday. With the Browns out of playoff contention, the team figures to proceed cautiously with Fannin ahead of the team's Week 18 season finale against the Bengals. The same presumably applies to fellow TE David Njoku, who hasn't played since Week 14 due to a knee injury.

Gesicki caught both his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

The tight end caught multiple passes for the fifth time in the last six games, a stretch in which he's put together an 18-233-2 line on 24 targets. Gesicki isn't a key part of the Bengals' passing attack, but he's been an effective complementary option and will carry some momentum into a Week 18 clash with the Browns.

McBride caught 10 of 13 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Bengals.

The fourth-year star set the all-time NFL record for receptions by a tight end in a single season with the performance, breezing past the mark of 116 set by Zach Ertz with the Eagles in 2018. McBride has compiled a monster 119-1,174-11 line on 161 targets through 16 games, and unless the Cardinals decide to sit all their key players in Week 18, he'll look to add to those numbers against the Rams.
