  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Strong showing against SF

    Helm recorded four receptions on four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers.

    Helm briefly exited Sunday's loss with a toe injury, but he wasn't forced to miss any offensive plays. He tied for the team lead in receptions and paced the team in yards, thanks primarily to a 34-yard touchdown catch midway through the second quarter. Helm continues to establish himself as a key part of the Tennessee offense, logging at least four receptions in four of his last five games.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Hauls in TD in Week 15 rout

    Schultz caught eight of nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals.

    The eight grabs and nine targets led the Texans, and Schultz capped his big performance with a four-yard TD grab from C.J. Stroud in the third quarter. It was just the second touchdown of the season for the veteran tight end, but Schultz has caught at least six passes and topped 50 receiving yards in five of the last seven games, posting a 38-342-2 line on 53 targets over that stretch. He'll look to deliver strong numbers again in Week 16 against the Raiders.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Active Sunday

    Ferguson (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Ferguson entered the weekend as questionable following an LP/DNP/LP practice regimen due to a calf injury, but comments from Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones (per Jon Machota of The Athletic) on Friday and a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Saturday evening indicated that the tight end was likely to play Week 15. Indeed, that has been confirmed, and Ferguson will continue to operate as one of QB Dak Prescott's top pass catchers along with WRs CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Paces pass catchers in loss

    Kelce brought in seven of nine targets for 70 yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Kelce paced the Chiefs in receiving yards while tying Rashee Rice for the team lead in receptions as well during a loss that officially eliminated Kansas City from playoff contention. The perennial Pro Bowler was the intended receiver on Gardner Minshew's game-ending interception, with the veteran backup quarterback in the game due to Patrick Mahomes having suffered a potentially serious knee injury on the first play after the two-minute warning. Kelce should remain a key part of the offense for the final three games, although how much run head coach Andy Reid will give a veteran player such as the talented tight end remains to be seen, particularly if Mahomes is sidelined the rest of the way.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Exits Sunday with toe injury

    Helm suffered a toe injury during Sunday's game in San Francisco.

    Prior to his departure in the third quarter, Helm was pacing the Titans' passing game with 38 yards and one touchdown on two catches (two targets). Fellow TE Chig Okonkwo stands to benefit for as long as Helm is sidelined.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Record-breaking effort Sunday

    McBride caught 12 of 13 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Texans.

    The 134 yards were a career high for McBride, while the two scores got him to 10 on the season, the first time he's reached double digits. Those milestones paled in comparison to the new NFL records for tight ends he set with the performance -- he's the first TE in history with consecutive 100-reception seasons, and he's caught at least five passes in 16 straight games, breaking the mark of 15 straight held by Travis Kelce. McBride almost certainly isn't done yet in 2025, either. With 105 catches and three games to go on the season, he has Zach Ertz's NFL tight-end record of 116 receptions firmly in his sights. McBride will look to take a step closer to that piece of history in Week 16 against the Falcons.

  • Brock Bowers TE | LV

    Raiders' Brock Bowers: Does little with six catches

    Bowers brought in six of eight targets for 28 yards in the Raiders' 31-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Bowers led the Raiders in receptions, targets and even receiving yards on an afternoon during which Kenny Pickett netted just 64 yards on his 15 completions. The talented tight end's production has been capped to an extent this season due to Las Vegas' suboptimal quarterback situation, but Bowers will still head into a tough Week 16 road matchup against the Texans next Sunday afternoon with at least four receptions in five consecutive games.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Leading receiver in Week 15 loss

    Johnson caught three of four targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

    The second-year tight end led the Giants in receiving yards on the day, as he topped 70 yards for the third time in the last five games. Johnson is quietly having a breakout campaign despite the struggles of the rest of the team, putting together a 45-528-5 line on 72 targets through 14 contests. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 16 clash with the Vikings.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Pair of TD catches Sunday

    Goedert brought in six of seven targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Goedert led the way for the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards, touchdown catches and targets on the afternoon, with both his scores coming on shovel passes near the goal line. The veteran tight end has seen his production ebb and flow this season, but he's on an upswing again after posting a 14-148-2 line on 17 targets over his last two games as a Saturday afternoon Week 16 matchup against a vulnerable Commanders defense approaches.

  • Mike Gesicki TE | CIN

    Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Disappointing day in loss to Ravens

    Gesicki had just one catch for 11 yards on three targets in the Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    When Tee Higgins (concussion) missed games last season, Gesicki was frequently a big target for Joe Burrow, but the Ravens locked down on him Sunday. One of Gesicki's targets was a seam ball on fourth down when the Ravens had two defenders on Gesicki, a pass that ended in an incompletion and turnover on downs.
