FitzPatrick has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Week 16 contest against Chicago due to an Achilles injury.

FitzPatrick suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury in the second half. Prior to his exit, he drew one passing target, which he didn't catch. Green Bay was already short on tight ends with Josh Whyle (concussion) unable to suit up Saturday. Luke Musgrave is the only healthy player left at the position for Green Bay for the remainder of the NFC North battle.

Goedert recorded three receptions on three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 29-18 win over the Commanders.

Goedert took a step back from his involvement in the Eagles' offense relative to the last two games, but he still managed to make a significant impact. His primary contribution came late in the third quarter, when he hauled in a 15-yard touchdown on a long third down. Goedert's target total will likely remain inconsistent moving forward, though he has either 70 receiving yards or a touchdown in three consecutive contests.

Kmet (ankle/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Kmet opened Week 16 prep with a limited walkthrough Tuesday and limited practice Wednesday due to ankle and knee injuries before progressing to all activity Thursday. He told Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network after the latter session that he intended to play Saturday, which now will come to pass. Despite handling between 63 and 79 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last six contests, Kmet has put together just a 14-159-1 line on 18 targets, while rookie TE Colston Loveland has earned similar snap shares but compiled a 22-264-2 line on 29 targets during that stretch.

The Saints have elevated Matavao from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Matavao, a rookie seventh-round pick, will get a chance to contribute in a depth capacity at tight end during Sunday's home game against New York. After Sunday's matchup, Matavao will revert to the practice squad for New Orleans.

The Lions have elevated Ricci from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

Ricci will be elevated for a second consecutive game to contribute in a depth capacity at tight end. Versus the Rams in Week 15, he played 12 snaps on offense (zero targets) and 14 snaps on special teams. He'll revert to the practice squad after Sunday's contest.

Bartholomew (back) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bartholomew was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game after logging back-to-back full practice sessions, but he nonetheless won't come off the reserve/PUP list yet. The rookie sixth-round pick's next opportunity to retake the field will come in Week 17 versus the Lions on Thursday night.

Latu (neck) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Commanders.

Latu was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional matchup, and he'll ultimately have to remain sidelined for at least one game while working to recover from his stinger injury. The depth tight end has yet to be targeted across 13 regular-season appearances this year, so his absence won't have much of an impact for fantasy purposes.

Helm (toe) is expected to play against the Chiefs on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Helm is working through a toe injury that he sustained during the Titans' Week 15 loss to the 49ers, when he caught four passes on as many targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. He was tagged as questionable for Week 16, but his ability to practice in full Friday -- coupled with Fowler's report Saturday -- puts the rookie tight end on track toward being available for Sunday's home tilt. Helm has caught 41 passes (on 50 targets) for 347 yards and two touchdowns through 14 regular-season games.

Fannin is expected to lead the Browns' tight end unit Week 16 against the Bills, as David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Njoku will miss a second consecutive game, paving the way for Fannin to garner a high snap volume and potential red-zone looks. He's amassed 25 combined targets the last two games and appears to be rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders' preferred receiver. In the four games with Sanders under center, Fannin has 22 receptions on 36 targets (three in the red zone) for 245 yards and two touchdowns.

Saubert wasn't credited with a target in the box score in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams. He caught a two-point conversion in overtime.

Saubert's first look was on the last play of the game, when he caught the two-point conversion to seal a crucial win over the Seahawks' division rival. This was a memorable moment, but it has been a slow season for the veteran tight end, as he has been targeted just twice over nine games.
