Ferguson secured three of four targets for 33 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

The rookie tight end found paydirt for the first time since Week 7 in the second quarter, scoring on a third-yard pass from Matthew Stafford. Prior to last week's one-catch performance, Ferguson had been on a four-game streak without a catch, so this week's bump in targets and catches was a welcome sight for fantasy managers waiting to see some of the second-round pick's potential in the latter half of the season. The Rams remain on the road for a Monday, Dec. 29 showdown in Atlanta, and Ferguson will look to continue building on his positive momentum over the last two weeks.

Allen secured two of five targets for 34 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

Despite the season high in targets for Allen, it was Terrance Ferguson who scored the only touchdown out of the Rams' tight end trio. Currently on a six-game scoreless streak, Allen has generally been the least fantasy viable of the group of tight ends on the roster; his best week from a fantasy perspective was in Week 10, when he had two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Given that, this week's minor boost in targets feels more like an aberration than a meaningful move towards relevance, and expectations should remain low for a Week 17 matchup in Atlanta.

Waller (rest/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waller was listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday with rest/knee, but his return to all activity Friday clears him for Week 16 action. He'll be working with a new signal-caller Sunday, as rookie Quinn Ewers is taking over for Tua Tagovailoa. Nevertheless, in his seven appearances this season, Waller has had a knack for finding the end zone, as evidenced by his 20-243-6 line on 26 targets.

Briningstool (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Despite practicing in full throughout the week, the Clemson product isn't ready for in-game action just yet. Briningstool has yet to make his NFL debut after catching 49 of 76 targets for 530 yards and seven touchdowns during his final collegiate season. His next opportunity to take the field will come in the Week 17 matchup against the Broncos, though he must still be activated to Kansas City's active roster in order to play.

Taylor (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Taylor will miss a second consecutive game, and he hasn't practiced during his absence. Newly extended Jeremy Ruckert will top the Jets' tight end depth chart in Sunday's battle between cellar-dwellers. Taylor's next chance to play will be Week 17 against the Patriots.

Parkinson secured two of four targets for 21 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

Despite Matthew Stafford putting up monster numbers (457 yards passing and three touchdowns), Parkinson failed to make much of an impact against the team that drafted him in 2020. Terrance Ferguson earned the lone touchdown for the Rams' tight end corps in the contest, while Parkinson failed to see a target in the red zone. While the veteran tight end has touchdowns in five of his last seven games and led the trio in snap count, this game served as a reminder of Parkinson's floor. If Tyler Higbee (ankle) returns next week for the Week 17 showdown with the Falcons, this already crowded tight end room would be even more difficult to navigate for fantasy purposes.

Pitts (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona.

The Falcons added Pitts to their injury report mid-week, listing him as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. The lack of game designation suggests Pitts will be ready for his usual near-every-down role against an ice-cold defense, but it remains to be seen if the tight end can keep his hot streaking going with WR Drake London (questionable - knee) potentially returning from a four-game absence.

Fant (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Fant will sit out due to the ankle injury he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson or Cam Grandy could play additional snaps alongside Mike Gesicki due to Fant's absence. Fant's next chance to play will be Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Helm (toe) logged a full practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Helm's full participation Friday is an encouraging sign, but it didn't allow him to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against a depleted Chiefs team. Nonetheless, the rookie fourth-round pick appears more likely than not to suit up, which would give Helm an opportunity to keep building momentum after catching at least four passes in four of the past five games.

Kincaid (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

After opening Week 16 prep with no on-field work Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury, Kincaid was able to practice without limitations Friday, setting him up to be available to the Bills offense this weekend. In his 10 appearances this season, he's hauled in 36 of 45 targets for 523 yards and five touchdowns, making him a reliable TE option for fantasy purposes when he's available.
