Kelce recorded three receptions on six targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders.

The Chiefs predictably struggled to move the ball with the combination of Chris Oladokun and Shane Buechele leading the offense. Kelce still managed to hit a few milestones to add to his storied career, becoming the third tight end to 13,000 receiving yards in his career while also recording at least 75 receptions for the 10th straight season. Retirement rumors will now become prevalent until Kelce makes a decision about his playing future, and this could prove to be his final game in the NFL.

Dulcich brought in three of four targets for 31 yards in the Dolphins' 38-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Dulcich had the opportunity to function as the clear No. 1 tight end due to Darren Waller's placement on injured reserve with a groin injury, but the former was unable to generate meaningful production while working with rookie signal-caller Quinn Ewers (knee). Dulcich did have an encouraging stretch run in Miami, however, reviving a career that had been stuck in neutral since a solid 2022 rookie season in Denver by posting a 26-335-1 line on 33 targets across 10 games. Dulcich played 2025 on a one-year deal, so it remains to be seen if the Dolphins will be interested in a reunion or allow him to test the open market.

Henry brought in all five targets for 56 yards in the Patriots' 38-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Henry led the Patriots across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the season finale, earning a $250,000 incentive in his contract in the process by getting to the 60-catch threshold for the season. The veteran tight end displayed excellent rapport with second-year breakout signal-caller Drake Maye throughout the 2025 campaign, allowing Henry to amass a career-high 768 receiving yards and also post seven touchdowns over 17 games. Henry should remain one of Maye's favorite targets during the upcoming postseason, beginning with next weekend's home matchup against the Chargers in the wild-card round.

Knox caught both of his targets for 24 yards and one touchdown in the Bills' win over the Jets on Sunday.

Despite the Bills resting Josh Allen and James Cook for most of the game, Buffalo let both Dalton Kincaid and Knox in on more action against New York, even though Knox saw only four offensive snaps. Knox appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2025, securing 36 of 49 targets for 417 yards and four touchdowns. He'll play a big role as a blocker and red-zone target for Allen in the playoffs.

Kincaid caught all three of his targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets.

After missing Week 17 with a knee injury, Kincaid was able to log some reps even while the Bills rested most of their key contributors for most of the regular-season finale. With the team's lack of a true No. 1 wide receiver, Kincaid could be called upon to play a pivotal role in the passing game during the playoffs if Buffalo is going to make a postseason run. Kincaid posted a pair of 100-yard receiving games during his 12 appearances in the regular season but was also held under 50 yards nine times.

Parkinson caught four of seven targets for 36 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-20 victory over Arizona.

Parkinson remained productive even though Tyler Higbee returned from a six-game absence Sunday, finding the end zone in both the third and fourth quarters. The tight end finished behind Higbee (91) in receiving yards, but he did garner one more target and reach paydirt once more than his teammate. Parkinson completed the regular season having caught 43 of 56 targets for 408 yards and eight touchdowns over 15 contests, and he'll look to build off of his recent momentum when the Rams travel to take on the Panthers in the wild-card round Saturday.

Higbee caught five of six targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Cardinals.

Higbee hit the ground running in his return to action after missing six contests with an ankle injury, leading the team in receiving yards while reeling in a 22-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The tight end finished his regular season having caught 25 of 36 targets for 281 yards and three touchdowns over 10 contests. He'll now look to build off this performance when the Rams travel to face the Panthers in the wild-card round Saturday.

Strange recorded six receptions on six targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-7 win over the Titans.

Strange tied for second on the team in targets with Jakobi Meyers and was one of the Jaguars' most effective pass catchers. He was particularly impactful on a possession early in the second quarter, when he recorded four catches for 33 yards -- including a seven-yard touchdown. Strange took a significant step forward in his third pro season, setting new career highs in receptions (46), yards (540) and touchdowns (three) despite playing in only 12 games. He should be a key target for Trevor Lawrence during the team's playoff run.

McBride had seven receptions on eight targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Rams.

Fresh off setting a new league record for catches by a tight end in a single season last week, McBride shifted his focus on Sunday to the league lead in receptions for all position players. Arizona's star tight end entered Week 18 in a tie for first place with Rams wideout Puka Nacua, but it was the latter who finished the contest with more receptions and first-place honors. McBride's 126 grabs across 17 starts were still good enough to earn second place, finishing one catch ahead of Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase this regular season. The 25-year-old McBride corrected the red-zone woes that plagued him early in his career (six TDs in first three seasons) with a whopping 11 trips to the end zone in 2025. The breakout fantasy star accomplished all of this while catching passes from two different starting quarterbacks, so expect McBride to remain productive in 2026 whether it is Kyler Murray, Jacoby Brissett or another signal-caller under center for Arizona.

Loveland brought in 10 of 13 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Loveland led the Bears pass catchers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, seeing plenty of second-half action as Chicago scored 16 fourth-quarter points to make things interesting. Six of those came courtesy of Loveland, who recorded a one-yard scoring grab with just under five and a half minutes remaining in the contest to narrow a 16-8 deficit. Loveland finished his first NFL regular season by eclipsing 90 receiving yards and scoring a touchdown in consecutive games, leaving him with a 58-713-6 line on 82 targets across 16 games and affording him plenty of momentum heading into the wild-card round next weekend.
