Schultz caught all four of his targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts.

The veteran tight end wrapped up the regular season on a high note, catching at least three passes for a sixth straight game. Schultz set new career highs with 82 receptions on 106 targets over 17 games, turning that volume into 777 yards and three TDs. He'll remain a reliable chain-mover for C.J. Stroud heading into the playoffs, beginning with a wild-card round clash with the winner of Sunday night's AFC North battle between the Ravens and Steelers.

Warren caught five of eight targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans.

With Riley Leonard getting his first career start at quarterback, Warren wound up being nothing more than a security blanket and check-down option for his fellow rookie, with his longest gain going for just nine yards. The five receptions still led the Colts, however. Warren puts his first NFL season in the books with a 76-817-4 line on 112 targets, and depending on how the team solves its QB dilemma this offseason, the tight end could be poised for a Year 2 breakout.

Calcaterra (ankle/knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Calcaterra appeared to sustain the injuries while being tackled by Jeremy Reaves in the third quarter, and the former was taken to the locker room to be evaluated by medical staff. Dallas Goedert (knee) is inactive, so Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu are in line for more offensive snaps at tight end for as long as Calcaterra is out of the game.

Johnson secured three of five targets for 61 yards in the Saints' 19-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

The veteran tight end led the Saints in receiving yards while also securing a team-high 28-yard grab. Johnson had an opportunity for extra targets due to the absences of both Chris Olave (illness) and Mason Tipton (IR, groin), but Tyler Shough ended up spreading the ball around to seven different pass catchers overall. Johnson finished the 2025 season with a career-best 77 receptions and 889 receiving yards, and he totaled three touchdowns for the second consecutive season. Given the rapport Johnson flashed with Shough over the second half of the season, the former will head into 2026 with a very encouraging fantasy outlook

Pitts secured six of nine targets for 58 yards in the Falcons' 19-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

The veteran tight end played a key role in a Falcons victory that made the Panthers the NFC South champions in the process, leading the way in both receptions and targets on the afternoon while also securing the ball on New Orleans' last-ditch onside-kick attempt. Pitts' Week 18 performance put a fitting cap on a strong stretch run that saw him record at least six receptions and 57 yards in five of his final six games. Pitts wrapped up the 2025 regular season with a well-timed 88-928-5 receiving line across 17 games, and both his reception and touchdown totals qualified as career-high figures with unrestricted free agency looming this offseason.

Lewis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.

Lewis will be a healthy scratch for the team's regular-season finale after logging 15 offensive snaps in Week 17 versus the Chiefs. The 41-year-old doesn't have much of a role in the passing attack, so his absence won't have a major impact on offense against Los Angeles.

Ferguson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Ferguson was a late addition to Saturday's injury report due to a hamstring injury. The rookie second-rounder will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale and could be in jeopardy of missing the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs. Tyler Higbee has been cleared to play Sunday after being activated from injured reserve and will join Colby Parkinson as the Rams' top tight ends for Week 18 in Ferguson's absence.

Hill (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.

Hill exited in the third quarter of the Saints' season finale. Per the broadcast, he took off his pads and headed to the locker room after getting hurt. The veteran tight end recorded three catches on three targets for 32 yards prior to his departure. Moliki Matavao will likely work as New Orleans' No. 2 tight end behind Juwan Johnson for as long as Hill remains out.

Westover (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins.

Westover was dealing with an ankle injury at practice throughout the week, but he'll now ultimately be able to give it a go in Week 18. The fullback hasn't logged a single carry this season, but his value is evident as a blocker in the team's rushing attack.

Higbee (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Higbee suffered an ankle injury during a Week 11 matchup with the Seahawks and promptly landed on injured reserve. He proceeded to miss six consecutive games as a result, but after the Rams designated him for return from IR on Wednesday, he logged three straight full listings before the team tagged him as questionable for Week 18 action. Now that he's confirmed to be available Sunday, Higbee will mix back in to an offense that has used 13 personnel consistently for much of the season. Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Nick Vannett will be the other TEs available to Los Angeles, with Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) inactive.
