  • Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: No targets in Week 11 win

    Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 30 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

    Schoonmaker ran routes on just six of his 30 snaps and was one of the few Dallas pass catchers to go without a look on a night in which quarterback Dak Prescott targeted nine different players. So as long as top tight end Jake Ferguson is available, Schoonmaker looks like he'll mostly be limited to a tertiary role in the passing game while serving as a blocker more often than not when he's on the field.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Minimal production against Denver

    Gray caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

    Gray played 36 of the Chiefs' 70 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Travis Kelce (55) and ahead of Robert Tonyan (8). The 26-year-old did not play a big role in Kansas City's passing attack, doing very little with the three targets he saw in the contest. Meanwhile, Kelce dominated from a statistical standpoint, recording nine catches on 13 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. Barring an injury to Kelce, Gray is not a trustworthy option for fantasy purposes. Next up for the Chiefs is a matchup at home against the Colts.

  • Tanner Hudson TE | CIN

    Bengals' Tanner Hudson: Three grabs in loss

    Hudson caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-12 loss to the Steelers.

    Hudson played just 22 of the Bengals' 66 offensive snaps Sunday, behind fellow tight ends Noah Fant (32) and Drew Sample (30). The 31-year-old was unable to make the most of his opportunities, contributing little on the stat sheet on a day when Cincinnati's offense struggled. Hudson remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Turns in full practice

    Schultz (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Schultz has been managing a shoulder issue for the last few weeks but has yet to miss a game, and his ability to put in a full practice Tuesday clears the way for him to play Thursday against the Bills. The veteran tight end has seen his involvement in the Houston passing attack tick up since the team's Week 6 bye, and over the last five games, Schultz has turned in a 30-303-1 receiving line on 41 targets, with the switch at QB from C.J. Stroud (concussion) to Davis Mills not impacting his target volume or production.

  • Maximilian Mang: Cut from practice squad

    The Colts cut Mang from the practice squad Tuesday.

    Mang wasn't drafted out of Syracuse earlier this year and signed with the Colts. He failed to make the 53-man roster out of training camp and has yet to appear in a regular-season contest.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Not practicing Tuesday

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (hamstring) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Since Tuesday represents the Bills' most extensive on-field work of the week, Kincaid appears likely to remain out for a second straight game Thursday versus the Texans. While Kincaid sat out the Bills' Week 11 win over the Buccaneers, Dawson Knox operated as the clear top tight end, logging 77 percent of the offensive snaps and recording one catch for 23 yards on three targets. Jackson Hawes served as the No. 2 option at the position, playing 34 percent of the snaps without drawing a target.

  • Titans' David Martin-Robinson: Limited mostly to special teams

    Martin-Robinson went without a target while playing just one of the Titans' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.

    Martin-Robinson brought in a one-yard catch for a touchdown in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Raiders, but he's otherwise gone without a look in the passing game over his 10 appearances on the season. Though the reserve tight end will likely continue to see limited action on offense throughout the season, Martin-Robinson is locked in as a core special-teams contributor for Tennessee.

  • Elijah Higgins TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Two grabs in loss

    Higgins caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.

    Higgins continued to operate as Arizona's No. 2 tight end behind Trey McBride, playing 28 of the Cardinals' 79 offensive snaps while McBride (70) continued to dominate as one of the team's top pass catchers. The 25-year-old Higgins is not seeing enough usage to be considered for fantasy purposes. Barring an injury to McBride, the Stanford product will remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Chris Manhertz TE | NYG

    Giants' Chris Manhertz: Remains limited to blocking role

    Manhertz didn't draw a target while playing 15 of 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Packers.

    The reserve tight end has suited up in all 11 of the Giants' games this season, but he's drawn just one target. Manhertz should continue to suit up on game days but will largely be limited to a blocking role on offense in addition to serving as a core special-teams player.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Earns four targets in MNF loss

    Mayer caught three of four targets for 13 yards in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.

    Mayer played 77 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps as they continue leaning into 12 personnel, but his 4.3 yards per reception marked a season low, and fellow tight end Brock Bowers paced the team in receiving with a 7-72-0 line on 12 targets. Expect a similar level of involvement for Mayer against the Browns in Week 12.
