Kincaid (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Kincaid, who was inactive for the Bills' Week 17 loss to the Eagles, was limited at practice this week before being listed as questionable for the contest. Though Kincaid is in uniform versus the Jets, it remains to be seen how may snaps he'll see in the Bills' regular-season finale, with the team potentially managing the workload of some of its key players ahead of the postseason.

Tonges logged 11 snaps on special teams and was not used on offense in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks.

George Kittle returned from a one-game absence Saturday, effectively pushing Tonges back down to third on San Francisco's depth chart for Week 18. Blocking TE Luke Farrell logged eight snaps behind Kittle and was not targeted in the regular-season finale. Tonges emerged in 2025 with a 34-293-5 receiving line that was generated primarily while filling in for Kittle at various points of the campaign. Assuming Kittle did not suffer a setback, Tonges will remain a non-factor for the start of San Francisco's playoff run in the wild-card round.

Oliver won't return to Sunday's game against the Packers due to an ankle injury.

Prior to his exit in the third quarter, Oliver had two catches (on two targets) for 29 yards, which is a bit of a disappointment considering he was filling in for inactive No. 1 TE T.J. Hockenson (shoulder). Oliver will finish the 2025 campaign with a 15-160-4 on 19 targets in 15 regular-season games. He's under contract with the Vikings in 2026.

Hockenson (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Packers.

Hockenson thus will miss the final two contests of the 2025 campaign due to a shoulder injury, finishing it with 51 catches (on 66 targets) for 438 yards and three touchdowns in 15 appearances. He has no guaranteed money on his current contract for next season, but $2.308 million of it does vest as of March 17, so the Vikings seemingly have a decision to make on the 28-year-old's future in the coming months.

Tremble caught three of four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 16-14 loss to the Buccaneers.

With Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, IR) out for the Week 18 divisional matchup, Tremble assumed more of a receiving role in the Panthers' tight end room. The Notre Dame product finished as Carolina's third-leading receiver and caught Bryce Young's first touchdown pass of the day. Tremble has appeared in all 17 of the Panthers' regular-season games this year, catching 27 of 37 targets for 249 yards and two touchdowns. Carolina now needs Atlanta to beat New Orleans on Sunday to force a three-way tie for the NFC South title. In that scenario, the Panthers would hold the tiebreaker and make the playoffs as the NFC's No. 4 seed.

Pitts (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Pitts has been deemed available for the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that Pitts will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the tight end could carry more playing-time risk than usual since he's nursing an injury and the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like Pitts, wideouts Drake London (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Herbert's first elevation of the season will not lead to any snaps. The Jaguars have decided to go with Brenton Strange, Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris at tight end, meaning Herbert's talents will not be required for the regular-season finale.

Long (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Long will be a healthy scratch yet again. The tight end's regular season will end with 12 receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets.

Grandy (chest) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Grandy logged a full session Friday and was listed as questionable. However, that wasn't enough to be cleared for game action, and he'll miss a second consecutive contest to end the campaign. The undrafted tight end will finish his second NFL season with two receptions for seven yards across 28 offensive snaps.

Kittle recorded five receptions on seven targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Kittle returned from a one-game absence and tied for the team lead in targets. His only impactful play was a 20-yard catch early in the fourth quarter, though his lack of production was more a product of the 49ers' overall struggles rather than his own. Kittle battled multiple lower-body injuries throughout the regular season, though he ended the campaign with at least seven targets and five receptions in each of his last three games.
