Eric Saubert TE | SEA
Seahawks' Eric Saubert: One target in win
Saubert caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Saubert handled a 36 percent snap share even though rookie TE Elijah Arroyo (knee) is on injured reserve. With just two catches through eight games, it's clear that Saubert is considered a blocking tight end in the Seahawks' system.

AJ Barner TE | SEA
Seahawks' AJ Barner: Touchdown drought continues
Barner caught three of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Barner has been targeted 19 times over the last four weeks, turning in 12 receptions for 107 yards and no touchdowns. After starting the season with four touchdowns through the first five games, Barner has been kept out of the end zone for nine straight contests. The second-year tight end remains the Seahawks' clear No. 1 at the position however, especially with rookie Elijah Arroyo (knee) done for the rest of the regular season.

Harrison Bryant TE | HOU
Texans' Harrison Bryant: Minimal work in win
Bryant was not targeted over four snaps in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15.
Bryant returned from a four-game absence due to neck and shoulder injuries but served as the No. 3 tight end behind Dalton Schultz (53 snaps) and Cade Stover (41). With the position group at close to full strength, Bryant should settle into a depth role.

Cade Stover TE | HOU
Texans' Cade Stover: Contributes three catches in win
Stover caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona in Week 15.
The Texans often rolled with multiple tight ends, and Stover had a season-high 41 snaps alongside starter Dalton Shultz (53 snaps). The position group combined for 12 targets, a team high for the day and a season high. Stover also had one rushing attempt -- another short-yardage situation in the red zone -- but the play was negated by a penalty.

Chigoziem Okonkwo TE | TEN
Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Leads team in targets
Okonkwo recorded four receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers.
Okonkwo served as a reliable target for Cam Ward in the short areas of the field, and he paced the team with his six targets. He managed a few solid gains with his ability to pick up yards after the catch, the longest of which went for 17 yards. While Gunnar Helm is emerging as a key contributor in the Tennessee offense, Okonkwo still has at least four targets in three of his last four games.

Evan Engram TE | DEN
Broncos' Evan Engram: Only 12 yards
Engram recorded one reception on three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.
The absence of Pat Bryant (hamstring) shifted targets in the Denver offense, though Engram remained in a peripheral role. He made his lone catch late in the third quarter, though it helped keep a drive alive that ultimately resulted in a touchdown. While Engram will retain a significant snap count in the Denver offense, he's been held to 15 or fewer receiving yards in four of the team's last six games.

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Season high in receiving yards
Kittle brought in eight of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.
Kittle set a new single-game high in receiving yards (88) for 2025 on his second-highest reception total (eight) through nine healthy starts. The star tight end has been efficient with his 54 targets, producing a strong 83.3 percent catch rate so far this season. Kittle's season totals may end up suffering due to missed time to injury, but he remains one of the tight top ends in fantasy when he is on the field.

Jake Ferguson TE | DAL
Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Subpar showing in SNF loss
Ferguson recorded two catches on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.
Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the Dallas offense for most of the game, with both of his catches going for short gains in the second quarter. His four targets were his fewest since Week 8, though this was the third time in his last seven games that Ferguson had 16 receiving yards or fewer. Ferguson will draw another tough matchup in Week 16 against the Chargers.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: Scoring binge continues
Parkinson had five receptions on seven targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Parkinson turned in his finest fantasy performance to date after recording a season-high 75 yards while hitting pay dirt twice in the win over Detroit. The 26-year-old has now scored six touchdowns across his last six appearances, placing him firmly on the map as a starting fantasy option for the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should continue riding the hot hand as Parkinson prepares to face his former club in a road matchup against Seattle on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.
