Noah Gray TE | KC
Chiefs' Noah Gray: No catches in win
Gray didn't catch his lone target in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.
Gray has performed quite well this season as the No. 2 tight end behind star TE Travis Kelce, as the former has produced 17 receptions for 208 yards through eight games. He needs to find the end zone to have any fantasy appeal.

Quintin Morris TE | BUF
Bills' Quintin Morris: Catches TD in Week 9
Morris caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win against Miami.
Morris logged just eight offensive snaps in the victory, but he made an impact with a two-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth quarter to break a 20-20 tie. That reception was the 25-year-old's first catch and first target of the campaign. With that in mind, Morris is not on the fantasy radar as he sits behind both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox on Buffalo's tight-end depth chart.

Johnny Mundt TE | MIN
Vikings' Johnny Mundt: No catches in Week 9
Mundt failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
Mundt slid to the No. 3 spot at tight end with T.J. Hockenson returning to the field in Week 9 after missing the first seven games of the season while recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in 2023. Mundt was limited to a season-low 19 offensive snaps and he'll continue to operate behind Hockenson and Josh Oliver moving forward.

Dawson Knox TE | BUF
Bills' Dawson Knox: Records one reception in Week 9
Knox finished Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins with one catch on two targets for five yards.
Knox had his best game of the season in Week 8 against Seattle with two catches for 50 yards, but he couldn't follow that with meaningful production against Miami. The veteran tight end has recorded one or zero catches in eight of his nine contests on the campaign, making him an afterthought in most fantasy leagues. It would likely take Dalton Kincaid missing time for Knox to reemerge on the fantasy landscape this season.

Drew Sample TE | CIN
Bengals' Drew Sample: Catches touchdown in win
Sample hauled in all four of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown during the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders.
Sample was one of four different Cincinnati receivers to haul in a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow during Sunday's blowout win. He's now caught eight of his nine targets for 42 yards and a touchdown across nine games this season.

Josh Oliver TE | MIN
Vikings' Josh Oliver: Five catches, touchdown in win
Oliver caught all five of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.
Oliver remained the team leader in offensive snaps at tight end in Week 9 as the Vikings eased T.J. Hockenson back into action. Oliver made the most of his opportunities, most notably reeling in a 14-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Once Hockenson is up to speed, Oliver will see a dip in usage as the team's No. 2 option at tight end.

Rodney Williams TE | PIT
Rodney Williams: Let go by Pittsburgh
The Steelers waived Williams on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Williams signed to the Steelers' practice squad at the end of August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. However, he was added to the 53-man roster Sept. 18, and across his six regular-season appearances between Week 3 and 8, Williams played 104 snaps on special teams and five on offense. Assuming he clears waivers, Williams will look to catch on with a team in need of a tight end who can contribute on special teams.

Elijah Higgins TE | ARI
Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Notches two catches in Week 9
Higgins caught both of his targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 29-9 victory versus the Bears.
Higgins continues to be minimally involved as a pass catcher, with Sunday's season high in receiving yards fueled by a 23-yard catch that surpassed any of his single-game tallies from the first eight games of the campaign. However, during a contest in which Kyler Murray attempted only 20 passes, Higgins nearly matched No. 1 TE Trey McBride's 3-35-0 line. Aside from recording no targets in Week 6, Higgins has managed one or two receptions in each of his eight other outings, leaving him on the outside looking in to relevance in the Cardinals offense.

Erick All TE | CIN
Bengals' Erick All: Heads to IR
The Bengals placed All (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
All will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the ACL in his right knee in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders. The rookie tight end suited up in each of the Bengals' first nine games, turning in a 20-158-0 receiving line on 22 targets. Given the early November timing of his upcoming surgery in addition to the fact that it'll be his second operation on the knee, All may not be back to 100 percent by the start of the 2025 season.

Isaiah Likely TE | BAL
Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Sidelined for practice Tuesday
Likely (hamstring) wasn't on the field for Tuesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Likely had been previously listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, and with Tuesday being the Ravens' only full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Bengals, the tight end looks to be at real risk of missing his first game of the season. The injury may explain why Likely was held to a season-low 31 percent snap share in the Ravens' Week 9 win over the Broncos. If Likely were to sit out Thursday's contest, Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar could see increased reps, and fullback Patrick Ricard -- who caught a three-yard touchdown in Week 9 -- could also be on the field more frequently.
