Hudson put the Bengals ahead Sunday in the third quarter of their win against the Colts with a short touchdown catch and netted two catches for 21 yards on the three targets.

Hudson's snap share has decreased after peaking at 36 percent in Week 11, but he still found a way to make an impact Sunday. He had just 13 offensive snaps versus Indianapolis.

Ruckert caught all three of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.

Ruckert was once again outplayed by fellow tight end Tyler Conklin, who had four catches for 57 yards on six targets. His contributions Sunday included an impressive catch along the sideline on which Ruckert kept his concentration to secure a bobbling ball while rolling over a Houston defender. Heading into a Week 15 clash with the Dolphins, Ruckert has 14 catches for 135 yards on 20 targets.

Allen caught four of five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-31 overtime loss to the Ravens.

With Tyler Higbee (neck) inactive for the first time all season, Hunter Long, Brycen Hopkins and Davis Allen were the next men up at tight end. When Long was carted off with a knee injury during the second quarter, Allen stepped in on the same drive and caught the first touchdown of his NFL career, snaring a sidearm pass from Matthew Stafford and rumbling seven yards through multiple defenders for the score. No other Rams' tight end recorded a catch during the game, and if Higbee and Long miss more time with their respective injuries, Allen looks like the most likely candidate to take over as the starting tight end over Hopkins after this breakthrough performance.

Jordan caught three of three targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets in Week 14.

It's damning with faint praise, but Jordan was Houston's leading receiver Sunday. The achievement is a dubious one as it came on a day when Dalton Schultz (hamstring) and Tank Dell (lower leg) were inactive, and Nico Collins (calf) departed early in the first quarter. Those are team's top three targets. The Texans also lost quarterback C.J. Stroud to a concussion in the fourth quarter, blurring his status for Week 15 against Tennessee. Jordan has caught 12 of 15 targets for 159 yards and one touchdown over 10 games this season, but 99 of those yards have come in the last two games.

Otton brought in two of five targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Otton tied multiple teammates for second on the team in receptions, and he was also on the receiving end of an 11-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield with 31 seconds remaining that turned out to be the game-winning score. Otton had been blanked altogether in Week 13 against the Panthers, but Sunday's trip to the end zone, his fourth of the season, helped make up for it to an extent in a critical week of the fantasy season.

Pitts brought in three of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Pitts finished a distant second in receiving yards to Drake London (172) on the afternoon for the Falcons, but the underused tight end did make a big splash with a 36-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter on a nicely thrown ball from Desmond Ridder. Pitts has drawn 14 total targets over the last two games, which has netted a 7-108 line in that span. Pitts' next opportunity to build on the momentum comes in a Week 15 road matchup against the Panthers.

Ferguson finished with five receptions on eight targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.

Ferguson finished as the Cowboys' leading receiver against a normally stout Philadelphia defense Sunday, bringing his season receiving line up to 51/570/5 through 13 games. The 24-year-old has developed a strong rapport with Dak Prescott as a trusted option in drive-extending moments. The eight targets ties the tight end's highest total since these two division rivals met back in Week 9. Ferguson will look to continue his solid fantasy season against the Bills next Sunday.

Goedert (forearm) brought in all four targets for 30 yards in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Goedert's return from a three-game absence was a relatively quiet one on a night when Jalen Hurts threw for just 197 yards. The talented tight end finished a distant third in receiving yards and targets behind the starting wideout duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but he should have a chance to boost his production back up in a more palatable Week 15 matchup on the road against the Seahawks on Monday night, Dec, 18.

Kelce caught six of 10 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

The tight end led Kansas City in receiving yards, and he nearly produced the winning score on the team's final drive -- Kelce caught a deep pass over the middle from Patrick Mahomes, and before he could be tackled he flipped a lateral to Kadarius Toney, who dashed untouched into the end zone. However, Toney got flagged on the play for lining up in the neutral zone, wiping out the touchdown. Kelce hasn't scored a TD of his own in three straight games but has topped 80 yards in each one, and he sits 104 yards short of his eighth straight 1,000-yard campaign heading into a Week 15 clash with the Patriots.

Knox caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) caught five passes on eight targets on the day, but Knox produces more yardage with his grabs in his first game action since Week 7. Kincaid left the game late in the fourth quarter, and the severity of his injury isn't yet clear, so while Knox had a modest role Sunday in his return from wrist surgery, he could be a bigger factor in Week 15 against the Cowboys.
