Mundt played five of the Vikings' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders, finishing with one catch for four yards.

The reception was Mundt's sixth of the season and his first since Week 10. Mundt retains a regular role on special teams and typically gets a handful of snaps on offense in two-tight-end sets, but he's unlikely to see enough involvement in the passing game to attain fantasy relevance so long as T.J. Hockenson or Josh Oliver are available for a given game.

Cager went without a target while playing nine of 56 snaps on offense Monday in the Giants' 24-22 win over the Packers.

Since drawing a pair of targets in the Giants' blowout loss to the Cowboys in Week 10, Cager hasn't earned a look in the passing game in any of New York's ensuing three games. Cager should remain active on game days so long as Darren Waller (hamstring) remains on injured reserve, but look for fill-in starter Daniel Bellinger to continue to dominate the snaps at tight end.

Wesco played 25 of 71 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.

Wesco techically drew the start Sunday since he was on the field for the Titans' first offensive play, but he still finished a distant second to Chigoziem Okonkwo (48 snaps) in playing time among Tennessee tight ends. The 28-year-old could fall to third in the pecking order at tight end if Josh Whyle (knee) is able to make it back for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Rader played 10 of 71 snaps on offense but didn't draw a target in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.

Rader has played in 10 of the Titans' 13 games to date but has yet to draw a target. The 28-year-old depth tight end continues to bring most of his value to the Titans through his contributions on special teams.

Smith caught four of seven targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

Smith's seven targets Sunday were his most since Week 5, but the tight end was unable to turn those opportunities into much production. The veteran played 69 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps, while fellow tight end Kyle Pitts saw an 85 percent snap share. Smith's inconsistent production and often limited opportunities make him an untrustworthy option for fantasy in most formats. The 28-year-old should continue to face an uphill battle for meaningful touches when the Falcons visit the Panthers in Week 15.

LaPorta caught two of six targets for 23 yards and added one carry for four yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Bears.

The rookie tight end's performance was a major disappointment following his season-best outing Week 13, when he recorded nine receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown in a 33-28 win over the Saints. Despite his underwhelming showing Week 14, LaPorta remains a solid must-start fantasy option among tight ends.

Prince (undisclosed) was placed on the Chiefs' practice squad injured list, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Prince linked up with Kansas City after not making the Jaguars roster out of training camp as an undrafted free agent. The 26-year-old will now be forced to stay on the sidelines for at least the next four weeks and will not be able to practice with the team.

Parham (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

Parham's participation is strictly an estimate as the team held a walkthrough practice in preparation for Thursday's matchup against the Raiders. The Chargers will likely hold a more formal practice Wednesday, which Parham's status for could provide a better clue as to his availability to play in the Week 15 matchup.

Long (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Long was already reportedly set for season-ending MCL surgery, so this news doesn't come as much of a surprise. The Boston College product's third NFL season will come to a close with just four games played and no catches or targets. He'll now focus on his recovery and returning healthy in 2024.

Everett (hip) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Everett has been gauged as a limited participant on both of the Chargers' first two Week 15 practice reports after he played 45 snaps and hauled in five of eight targets for 38 yards in this past Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos. Though he'll be facing a quick turnaround with the Chargers set to face the Raiders on Thursday, the tight end will most likely be able to play through the hip issue. However, Everett will be on the receiving end of passes from Easton Stick, who is set to make his first career start Thursday, after the Chargers placed franchise signal-caller Justin Herbert (finger) on injured reserve Tuesday.
