Greg Dulcich TE | MIA
Dolphins' Greg Dulcich: Surpasses 40 yards again
Dulcich secured all three of his targets for 46 yards during Miami's 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also lost one fumble.
Dulcich finished second in receiving on the team behind Jaylen Waddle (5-72-0 on nine targets), narrowly outpacing top TE Darren Waller (3-40-0 on five targets). Dulcich accounted for rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers' longest completion of the day, a 29-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. He's now surpassed 40 receiving yards in three consecutive games, and he'll have two more opportunities to impress as the Dolphins close out the year against the Buccaneers in Week 17 and the Patriots in Week 18.

Adam Trautman TE | DEN
Broncos' Adam Trautman: Two grabs in loss
Trautman caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Trautman played 58 percent of snaps Sunday, continuing to handle the highest offensive snap share among Broncos' tight ends. The veteran was unable to turn his opportunities into much significant production, as he continues to take a back seat to teammate Evan Engram as a pass catcher. Trautman's blocking acumen keep him on the field, but he remains far off the fantasy radar going forward. Next up for the Broncos is a Week 17 matchup against the Chiefs.

Cade Stover TE | HOU
Texans' Cade Stover: Two grabs in win
Stover caught two of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders in Week 16.
Stover continued a support role at tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz. Since returning from a foot injury six games ago, Stover has seven catches (10 targets) for 45 yards. He's been given opportunities as a runner in short-yardage, red-zone situations the last three weeks, but that opportunity never presented itself Sunday.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Another two catches
Andrews recorded two receptions on three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Patriots. He added one rush for three yards.
Andrews made a long 18-yard catch late in the first quarter, but he largely disappeared from the game thereafter. He's now been held to two or fewer catches and 25 or fewer yards in four of his last five games. Andrews isn't likely to see a significant improvement in production in a tough Week 17 matchup against Green Bay, particularly if Lamar Jackson (back) remains sidelined.
-
Evan Engram TE | DEN
Broncos' Evan Engram: Two catches aganst Jags
Engram recorded two receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Engram remained relatively uninvolved in the Broncos' offense, finishing fifth on the team in targets. He did manage a long catch of 33 yards, which ultimately helped set up a touchdown. Engram has two or fewer catches in three consecutive games and has combined to record only 56 yards in that span.

Brenton Strange TE | JAC
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.
