Kincaid is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a knee injury.

After having previously exited the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com relays that Kincaid returned for two snaps in the third quarter, but evidently the tight end hasn't shaken his knee issue. In his absence, Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris are available to handle Buffalo's TE duties.

Kincaid (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Colts, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Kincaid had been forced out of the contest after sustaining a knee injury, but he's back on the field to bolster the Bills' tight end corps for the rest of the team's Week 10 matchup against Indianapolis.

Conklin (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Though Conklin was deemed a full practice participant by the Jets on Friday, he was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 10 active status confirmed, Conklin should continue to lead a tight-end corps that also includes Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah. In that capacity, Conklin -- who caught one of his two targets for minus-3 yards in a Week 9 win over the Texans -- has compiled a 27/237/2 receiving line on 40 targets through nine contests to date, a rate of production that keeps him on the radar at his position in deeper fantasy formats

Smartt (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Smartt has been limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury, but he hasn't progressed enough to suit up Sunday. His next chance to play will be Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 17. Tucker Fisk was elevated from the Chargers practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he will serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst.

Kincaid exited Sunday's game against the Colts after sustaining a knee injury.

Prior to his departure, Kincaid had caught two of his four targets for 24 yards. While he's sidelined, Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris are next up for the Bills' tight end snaps.

Sanders secured both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.

Sanders operated as the top tight end with Tommy Tremble (back) out once again, and he cashed in with his first NFL touchdown on a five-yard grab in midway through the first quarter. The rookie heads into a Week 11 bye with six receptions for 95 yards and Sunday's score over his last two games and should continue to enjoy a reliable role in the air attack down the stretch run of the season.

Willis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Willis was signed to the 49ers' active roster Oct. 9 and played in Week 8 against the Cowboys, but he'll be a healthy scratch for Week 10. George Kittle, Eric Saubert and Jake Tonges will be the 49ers' three active tight ends for Sunday's game.

Thomas is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 10 game against the Giants due to a calf injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas was hurt in the first half and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. If he's unable to get back into the game, it would further thin a Panthers tight-end corps that is already without Tommy Tremble (back).

Dulcich (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

Dulcich will be a healthy scratch for a sixth straight game. He last played in Week 4 against the Jets. Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull will be Denver's active tight ends versus Kansas City.

Sanders is expected to serve as the Panthers' top tight end in Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich due to Tommy Tremble (back) being inactive for the contest, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

While Tremble has missed three of the Panthers' past four games due to the back injury and a concussion, Sanders has produced well in all three of those contests. He's logged at least 73 percent of snaps in each of those games while producing a 15-197-0 line on 18 targets. The first two of those games came with Andy Dalton under center, but the rookie fourth-round pick out of Texas showed a rapport with Bryce Young at quarterback in the Week 9 win over the Saints, finishing with four receptions for a career-high 87 yards.
