Fotheringham signed with the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday.

Fotheringham spent time with Las Vegas last season and was also with the franchise during training camp. However, despite not making their 53-man roster, he'll get another chance with the team, this time on their practice squad.

Gray reeled in all four of his targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win versus the Chargers.

Gray's four grabs and 40 yards were high-water marks for the season. He played 32 offensive snaps in the contest, which is about on par with his previous work. The fourth-year tight could claim a heavier share of the snap pie moving forward following star wideout Rashee Rice's knee injury Sunday. Outside of veteran tight end Travis Kelce and rookie Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs will need some pass-catching options to step up. Gray's 4-40 line from Sunday at least displays a pulse in what otherwise was a struggling group behind Kelce and Worthy. Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, head coach Andy Reid plans to spread the ball around more widely moving forward. That could mean more work for Gray.

Dulcich failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets.

Dulcich continues to be an afterthought in the Denver offense, while the Broncos have found it extremely challenging to move the ball down the field consistently through four weeks. The third-year tight end played the fewest offensive snaps (24) of any tight end again, while both Nate Adkins and Adam Trautman both finished with 28 snaps in the contest. Dulcich cannot be trusted for fantasy lineups in Week 5 when the Broncos host the Raiders.

Wright caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday's 42-29 win over the Seattle.

Wright saw his production decrease in Week 4 with Sam LaPorta taking on his full complement of offensive snaps again. Wright is the clear No. 2 option at tight end and his fantasy upside is greatly limited when LaPorta is active. Over the first four games of the season, Wright has caught seven of eight targets for 49 yards.

Ogletree caught a 15-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.

It was just Ogletree's second reception of the season, as Indy hasn't utilized tight ends in the passing game and splits targets among three tight ends. Ogletree played on just 24 of the offense's 66 snaps and went out on six routes. His minimal usage makes him a poor fantasy option despite the touchdown reception.

Bryant caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Bryant filled in for the sidelined Michael Mayer (personal) as the No. 2 tight end behind rookie Brock Bowers, but Bryant actually matched Bower's two receptions despite seeing one fewer target. Bryant could see a similar level of involvement against the Broncos in Week 5 if Mayer remains out.

LaPorta brought in all four targets for 53 yards in the Lions' 42-29 win over the Seahawks on Monday night.

LaPorta finished second in both receptions and receiving yards on the night, with the latter total also serving as a season high. The second-year tight end's catch tally also tied the total he'd recorded against the Rams in Week 1, but he still remains well below the pace he set during a spectacular 2023 rookie season. LaPorta has topped out at five targets (Week 1) as far as a single-game high this season, but he could be poised for more opportunities against an inconsistent Cowboys defense in a Week 6 road battle on Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.

Higgins gathered in two of three targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders.

With Trey McBride sidelined due to a concussion Week 4, Higgins was slated to take a leap in terms of usage, and he did just that with a 68 percent snap share. Both Higgins and rookie tight end Tip Reiman (42 percent) started, but only the former made a mark in the box score, albeit in a minimal fashion. Coach Jonathan Gannon told Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic on Monday that McBride still is in the protocol for head injuries and is making progress in his recovery, so how he fares in practice later this week will determine if Higgins is able to retain an expanded workload this coming Sunday at San Francisco.

Otton secured six of nine targets for 52 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

After opening the season with one catch for five yards (on four targets) over his first two games, Otton has emerged as a key option in the air attack over the subsequent pair of contests. The third-year tight end has generated a 13-99-0 line on 17 looks from Baker Mayfield in that span, and on Sunday, he tied Chris Godwin for second in targets. Otton's role still may fluctuate on occasion, but he appears to be finding his niche within coordinator Liam Coen's offense heading into Thursday night's road showdown against the Falcons.

Moreau accrued zero targets during Sunday's 26-24 defeat against the Falcons.

Moreau played a season-low 57 percent of offensive snaps after playing at 71 percent in each of the previous three games. The 27-year-old has been listed as the Saints' starting tight end so far this season, but he was overshadowed by Juwan Johnson this week, as the latter logged two catches (on three targets) while playing 67 percent of offensive snaps. Moreau has now totaled two targets since his four-catch performance against Carolina in Week 1. It's unlikely that he'll get significantly more playing time during the Saints' next game versus the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 7.
