Kittle (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears but is considered "highly unlikely" to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network had previously reported late Saturday that Kittle planned to test out his sprained left ankle in a pregame workout before the 49ers reached a decision on his status for the Week 17 contest, but Schefter's report is much more pessimistic about the star tight end's ability to play through the injury. Though official word on Kittle's status will arrive when the 49ers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, his fantasy managers are probably best served pivoting to another option at tight end for Week 17 matchups. Assuming Kittle ends up being inactive for the contest, more snaps would open up at tight end for both Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges, with the latter representing the bigger pass-catching threat of the two.

Andrews recorded four receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 41-24 win over the Packers.

Andrews finished second on the team in targets, though there was limited opportunity due to Baltimore attempting only 20 passes. Tyler Huntley also worked almost exclusively in short areas of the field, limiting Andrews' longest reception to only nine yards. He now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in four straight contests and in five of his last six matchups.

Kittle (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears and will go through a pregame workout before a determination is made on whether he'll play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Kittle didn't practice all week after spraining his left ankle in the 49ers' 48-27 win over the Colts on Monday, and he looks to be shaping up as a true game-time decision for Week 17. Unfortunately for fantasy players, Kittle's status may not be known until the 49ers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Jake Tonges would be in line to serve as the 49ers' top pass-catching tight end if Kittle is unable to play.

Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

C.J. Stroud distributed targets evenly to his pass catchers, leaving Schultz as one of five Texans with either four or five targets. He didn't do much with the opportunity he did get, and he also picked up a key unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to stall a promising drive early in the second quarter. Schultz remains an inconsistent contributor, as this marked his third performance in his last six games with under 25 yards. However, he's either topped 50 yards or found the end zone in the other three contests in that span.

Gadsden brought in three of six targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

Gadsden had two diametrically opposite experiences in the red zone Saturday, first having a ball bounce off his hands inside the five-yard line and landing in the hands of the Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair to extinguish a golden late first-half scoring opportunity. The rookie tight end then atoned to a degree with a one-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter, his third career score and first since Week 8. Gadsden should continue filling a key role in the Week 18 road regular-season finale against the Broncos.

Fannin (groin) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Fannin was added to the Browns' injury report Friday after he was a limited participant in the team's final practice of the week, but the rookie tight end said after the session that he intends to play versus Pittsburgh. He's experierenced no setbacks since Friday's practice, according to Fowler, and Adam Schefter of ESPN adds that Fannin is expected to be full go against Pittsburgh. With David Njoku (knee) out again for Week 17, Fannin is once again one of the top fantasy tight ends due to his projected target volume.

The Giants elevated Davidson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

With Theo Johnson (illness) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game, Davidson may get some snaps as a blocking tight end. The 27-year-old has been elevated for his first game this season and will likely be used to bolster the special teams unit.

Westover (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Westover was not listed on the week's injury report, indicating that the illness likely arose Saturday. The fullback for the Patriots' offense will likely be a game-time decision, with his ability to suit up likely directly correlating to his immune system's ability to heal. If Westover is unable to play, D'Ernest Johnson or CJ Dippre could be asked to fill the fullback role against the Jets.

The 49ers elevated Willis from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

Willis has played in five games for the 49ers this season, totalling 12 offensive snaps and 74 special-teams snaps in the contests. The tight end was on the active roster for three of those games and was elevated for the remaining two, making the Week 17 elevation his third and final of the 2025 season. If the team would like to use Willis for Week 18 or in the playoffs, it will have to sign him to the active roster.

The Packers elevated Dabney from the practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

The 23-year-old joined the Packers' practice squad in early November and is now in line to make his NFL debut during Saturday's matchup against the Ravens. Across his five-year collegiate career, Dabney caught 84 passes for 1,066 yards and eight touchdowns. He's expected to operate as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end in the Week 17 contest.
