  • E.J. Jenkins TE | PHI

    E.J. Jenkins: Gets new opportunity

    Jenkins signed with the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Jenkins went undrafted in 2023 out of Georgia Tech. After initially signing with the Jets, he was unable to make their 53-man roster out of training camp and eventually joined the Eagles' practice squad in November, where he was ultimately waived just a couple weeks later. He'll work to make the most of his limited opportunity in Las Vegas during the team's final week of practice before their season comes to an end.

  • Panthers' Stephen Sullivan: No catches Sunday

    Sullivan didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.

    Sullivan's goose egg came after a decent, three-catch outing in Week 16. Despite making the stat sheet in most games during the second half of the season, Sullivan's stock remains restricted heading into Sunday's finale versus the Buccaneers.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Makes one grab

    Tremble caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars.

    Tremble's production marked a decline from consecutive games with 30-plus receiving yards. While his output Sunday was more representative of his usual standard this season, Tremble will nonetheless strive to make a bigger impact in Week 18's finale versus the Buccaneers.

  • Austin Hooper TE | ATL

    Raiders' Austin Hooper: Three catches Sunday

    Hooper caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.

    Hooper played a season-high 64 offensive snaps with rookie Michael Mayer (toe) sidelined for a second straight contest, but the former was overshadowed in the passing game by wide receiver Davante Adams, who caught 13 of 21 targets for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Hooper would likely maintain the No. 1 tight end role for the Raiders in Week 18 against the Broncos if Mayer is unable to return for the regular-season finale.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Underwhelming numbers in loss

    Otton secured two of six targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Otton tied for the team lead in targets with Chase Edmonds but did little with them, leading to his fourth sub-20-yard outing in the last five contests. Otton's substandard production down the stretch has made him a virtual fantasy non-factor heading into the regular-season finale against the Panthers.

  • Josh Oliver TE | MIN

    Vikings' Josh Oliver: Just one reception in loss

    Oliver had one reception for 17 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

    While Oliver started at tight end, Johnny Mundt earned more snaps and routes. Mundt played on 41 of the offense's 53 snaps and went out on 32 routes, while Oliver logged 24 snaps and ran eight routes. Mundt looks to be the one to get more looks in the passing game with T.J. Hockenson out for the season with a knee injury.

  • Johnny Mundt TE | PHI

    Vikings' Johnny Mundt: Increased role in loss

    Mundt had four receptions for 39 yards, including a six-yard touchdown, on seven targets in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

    Mundt saw an increased role in the passing game with T.J. Hockenson out for the season with a knee injury. While Josh Oliver started at tight end, Mundt played more snaps and went out on more routes. Mundt played on 41 of the offense's 53 snaps and went out on 32 routes, while Oliver logged 24 snaps and ran eight routes. The former's usage should make him a factor in the offense next week at Detroit regardless of who starts at QB for Minnesota.

  • Mo Alie-Cox TE | IND

    Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Two receptions in win

    Alie-Cox had two receptions for 18 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Alie-Cox started at tight end and played on 34 of the offense's 56 snaps but went out on just 13 routes. He was mostly used as a run blocker (18 snaps) as the Colts played with a lead most of the game. Despite the two receptions, he isn't a huge factor in the passing attack, as he's been held without a catch seven times in 15 games.

  • Kylen Granson TE | TEN

    Colts' Kylen Granson: Just one reception in win

    Granson had one reception for 13 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Granson played on 35 of the offense's 56 snaps but went out on only 16 routes as the Colts ran the ball with a lead most of the game. Mo Alie-Cox drew the start at tight end and caught two passes, but no tight end was a big factor in the passing game. The Colts continue to divide targets among three or more tight ends heading into the season finale against the Texans.

  • Will Mallory TE | IND

    Colts' Will Mallory: Just one reception in win

    Mallory had one reception for 19 yards on his only target in Sunday's win over the Raiders.

    Mallory played just nine snaps on offense and went out on six routes, a week after he had four receptions for 47 yards on four targets. With Indy playing with a lead most of the game, Mallory was sidelined for better blocking tight ends.
