Granson had one reception for four yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Houston.

Granson was the only tight end in the Indy offense to record a catch amid starting quarterback Anthony Richardson's struggles (10-for-32 passing for 175 yards). The Colts again split playing time fairly evenly between four tight ends and none got significant targets, making any a poor fantasy option.

The Chiefs placed Fortson (knee) on injured reserve Monday.

Fortson played 18 offensive snaps and failed to catch his only target before exiting Sunday's win over the Raiders due to a knee injury. The Valdosta State product will now be forced to miss the Chiefs' next four games after being placed on IR, with his earliest possible return coming Nov. 29 against the Raiders. Kansas City's tight-end room will consist of Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Jared Wiley while Fortson spends at least four games on IR.

Likely caught all four of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

This was Likely's highest catch and yardage output since his eye-opening season opener against the Chiefs. Though Likely didn't cash in a touchdown, he still was efficient as he caught everything thrown his way on a strong 12.0 YPT clip. His best catch came on a 25-yard gain that set up an eventual touchdown to Mark Andrews in the third quarter. Likely is up to 24 catches for 271 yards and three touchdowns on 33 targets this season and draws a matchup against the Broncos in Week 9.

Whyle recorded two receptions on two targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

Whyle was on the field for 30 offensive snaps, his second-highest mark of the season, and earned multiple targets for the fourth time in seven contests. Chigoziem Okonkwo out-snapped him but made several mistakes, which could eventually lead to more playing time for Whyle. For now, Whyle remains irrelevant in most fantasy formats.

Okonkwo recorded two receptions (on five targets) for 14 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

Okonkwo logged season-high marks in both snap rate and targets. Unfortunately, that didn't translate to much production, as his only positive yardage came in the final minute of the blowout loss. To make matters worse, Okonkwo had several miscues, highlighted by a lost fumble, an offensive pass interference penalty and an interception on one of his targets.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Monday that Johnson is fully cleared after having been evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Johnson was evaluated late during New Orleans' Week 8 loss, but he's good to go for Sunday's road matchup against Carolina. Prior to being forced out versus the Chargers, Johnson had secured three of four targets for 48 yards. With quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) trending in the right direction to return Week 9, Johnson and the Saints' passing game as a whole could be positioned to benefit.

Smith secured four of six targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.

Smith has drawn seven, eight, and six targets in his last three appearances, so despite a low yardage total in the Week 8 loss, his involvement on offense remains encouraging. With Tua Tagovailoa back under center, Miami's offense will look to continue getting back on track in a key Week 9 divisional matchup against the Bills.

Hooper, who per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com was on the field for 32 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, caught three of his four targets for 15 yards.

Fellow tight end Hunter Henry (57 snaps) caught five of his six targets Sunday for 45 yards. As long Henry remains available, Hooper is only an option in the deepest of fantasy formats.

Trautman caught all four of his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.

With Greg Dulcich in Sean Payton's doghouse and Lucas Krull picking up a shoulder injury during Sunday's contest, Trautman wound up being significantly more than just a blocker for the first time all season. The fifth-year tight end made a spectacular one-handed grab for a 19-yard TD in the second quarter, his first score of the year, and he also had a 37-yard gain on the final play of the first quarter that helped set up Denver's first touchdown of the day. Krull was able to return to the game and caught both of his targets for 18 yards, but Trautman's breakout performance could put him in line for a larger role as a receiver Week 9 against the Ravens.

Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

As usual, Ruckert was a distant No. 2 at tight end behind Tyler Conklin, who caught a short touchdown for the second consecutive game. Ruckert has yet to exceed 15 receiving yards in a game this season, and the 2022 third-round draft pick is still searching for his first career touchdown heading into Week 9 against the Texans.
