  • Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Second TD of season

    Strange recorded five receptions on seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos.

    Strange matched his season high with seven targets, good for third on the team. Though he was limited to a modest yardage total, Strange found the end zone from three yards away late in the second quarter to reach the end zone for the second time in five games since returning from a hip injury. Strange has been limited to work primarily in the short areas of the field, but he has a consistent role in the Jaguars' passing offense, which has excelled of late.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Hits pay dirt on SNF

    Henry hauled in six of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Ravens.

    Henry made his mark on Sunday Night Football in the fourth quarter when he slipped behind the coverage for a short touchdown grab in the back corner of the end zone. The veteran tight end was held to one catch when the Patriots came out of the bye in Week 15, so fantasy managers were pleased to see a return to form against Baltimore. Henry currently sits 11 yards shy of the career-high mark of 674 receiving yards he posted in 2024. Next Sunday's matchup versus the Jets presents a golden opportunity for Henry to reach that personal milestone in Week 17.

  • Elijah Higgins TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Puts together career-best performance

    Higgins recorded seven catches (on eight targets) for 91 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

    Higgins surprisingly matched standout TE Trey McBride (4-27-0) for the team lead in targets, and the former easily paced the Cardinals in both receptions and receiving yards. Additionally, Higgins more than doubled his previous career high in yards (45 in Week 2 of this season) Sunday. He did all of this with No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (1-14-0 on three targets) back in action and Michael Wilson (2-52-1 on three targets) in the midst of a recent hot stretch. Higgins likely will take a step back in the pecking order for targets in Arizona's final two games of the campaign, especially as Harrison gets healthier.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Catches Stroud's only TD pass

    Schultz had five receptions on as many targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

    Schultz had the highest fantasy score of any pass catcher for Houston on Sunday after coming down with QB C.J. Stroud's only touchdown pass of the contest. It was the veteran tight end's third touchdown catch of the season, surpassing last year's total of two in two fewer games. Schultz is providing a consistent floor for fantasy managers heading into a matchup with the Chargers in Week 17.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Just one catch in Week 16

    Tremble caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    It appears Tremble's role in Carolina's offense has shrunk over the past four games, as he's caught just four of seven targets for 21 yards during that span. The 25-year-old has appeared in all 15 of the Panthers' contests this year, tallying 205 receiving yards and one touchdown on 23 receptions. He'll likely have minimal fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Mitchell Evans TE | CAR

    Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Records 23 yards in win

    Evans caught all three of his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

    The rookie from Notre Dame paced the Panthers' tight-end corps in receptions, targets and yards during Sunday's divisional win. He's been an important part of Carolina's offense as both a blocker and receiver this season, appearing in all 15 games and catching 17 of 21 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns. His role may continue to grow in the Panthers' Week 17 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Catches three passes in win

    Washington caught three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions.

    Washington and Pat Freiermuth each drew four targets to Jonnu Smith's one against Detroit. Playing in a three-man committee at tight end, Washington carries little fantasy appeal ahead of next Sunday's date with the Browns.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Another quiet game in win

    Gadsden secured his lone target for seven yards in the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

    After a big four-game stretch from Weeks 6 to 9, Gadsden has crashed back to Earth in recent weeks. Over his last six games, Gadsden has compiled just 12 catches for 166 scoreless yards on 23 targets. He's devolved into an untrustworthy option at fantasy's weakest position ahead of next Saturday's date with a stingy Houston defense.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Stays hot with another TD in win

    Pitts corralled seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

    The Falcons welcomed back No. 1 wideout Drake London (knee) from a four-game absence, but Pitts maintained his elevated role in Atlanta's passing game with Kirk Cousins under center. The 24-year-old Pitts was averaging 8.8 targets in the four games London missed, and the former's nine targets finished behind only RB Bijan Robinson's 11 on Sunday. The 2021 first-round tight end is starting to play like one by averaging 98.8 yards with four total touchdowns over his last four starts. A red-hot Pitts will attempt to keep things rolling against the Rams next Monday.

  • Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Snags TD in Week 16 win

    Sanders caught both of his targets for nine yards and one touchdown in Carolina's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

    Sanders' six-yard touchdown in the third quarter gave the Panthers a 20-17 lead. The tight end has produced fewer than 20 receiving yards in eight of his 12 appearances this season and offers little fantasy value headed into next Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
