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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

McBride had four receptions on eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.

McBride had a rough go of things Sunday, recording his lowest reception and yardage totals of the season against Atlanta. His 50 percent catch rate also checked in as the worst mark through 15 starts in 2025. The star tight end still finished in a tie for the team lead in targets (eight) in what turned out to be a down day for most of Arizona's top receiving options. The dud did little to thwart McBride's stellar fantasy campaign (109-1,099-10), and he needs just 48 receiving yards against the Bengals next Sunday to set a new high-water mark for his career in that category.

Bowers had five receptions on as many targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.

Geno Smith (shoulder/back) returned from a one-game absence and reignited his tight end's hot streak dating back to Week 13. The veteran signal-caller found Bowers in the end zone in the second quarter for the fourth touchdown in the duo's last three active games. The 22-year-old Bowers is well off the pace from the 1,194 receiving yards he racked up in 2024 as a rookie, but his improved nose for the end zone (seven trips) as a sophomore has helped offset the dip in volume. Bowers can be viewed as a premier tight end in fantasy for next Sunday's tilt against the Giants.

Kincaid failed to bring in his only target in the Bills' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

One of Josh Allen's top targets was nowhere to be found Sunday, although Kincaid's first blanking of the season came on a day when Allen threw for only 130 yards. Given his typical importance to the air attack, Kincaid's a good bet to bounce back in a Week 17 home matchup against the Eagles.

Okonkwo caught six of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-9 win over Kansas City.

The fourth-year tight end tied his season high in receptions and set a new season high in targets while getting into the end zone for the first time in 2025, as he connected with Cam Ward on a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Okonkwo appeared to have fallen behind rookie Gunnar Helm on the depth chart a few weeks ago, but the two have seen roughly equal usage of late, with Okonkwo's 12-97-1 line on 16 targets over the last three games nosing ahead of Helm's 7-66-1 line on nine targets. Okonkwo will look to build on this performance in Week 17 against the Saints.

Kelce caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Titans.

With Patrick Mahomes (knee) lost for the season and Gardner Minshew (knee) not even making it to halftime before going down as well, Kelce was left with third-string QB Chris Oladokun under center, and the duo showed very little chemistry en route to the veteran tight end's worst numbers of 2025. Minshew may have suffered a torn ACL, so a week of first-team reps together could improve that connection, but Kelce -- along with the rest of the Kansas City passing attack -- will be a very shaky fantasy option in Week 17 against the Broncos.
