Kelce finished with six receptions on seven targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Raiders.

Kelce caught all but one of his targets and finished with his most receiving yards since his monster Week 7 performance against the Chargers. Perhaps the superstar had extra motivation Sunday after a late fumble in last week's loss to Philadelphia cost his team an opportunity to make a comeback attempt against a fellow contender. Whatever the case, the end result was another solid day of production for fantasy managers, who have received 70 receptions, 732 yards and five touchdowns from the fantasy stud through 10 games. A road matchup against the Packers is on tap for Kelce and the Chiefs next Sunday.

Higbee brought in all five targets for 29 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 37-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

The veteran tight end got into the end zone for the first time since Week 16 of last season when he recorded a seven-yard grab to cap off the opening possession of the contest, and he followed it with a five-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Higbee's catch total also tied his season high and particularly stood out in light of him having recorded a meager 1-17 line on four targets over the previous pair of contests. Next up for Higbee and the Rams is a Week 13 home matchup against the Browns.

Njoku caught six of nine targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos.

He led the Browns in catches and receiving yards while tying Elijah Moore for the lead in targets. Njoku's volume and production have stabilized over the last six weeks, in part due to working with quarterbacks who can't stretch the field for big plays to wideouts the way Deshaun Watson (shoulder) can, and he's posted a 32-330-2 line on 56 targets over that stretch. Whether rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) or PJ Walker is running the offense in Week 13 against the Rams, the tight end figures to be one of the top options again in a limited Cleveland passing attack.

McBride brought in seven of nine targets for 60 yards in the Cardinals' 37-14 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

The talented tight end finished as the team leader in receptions while checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards and tied for second in targets as well. McBride's production has proven to have some staying power in the wake of Zach Ertz's quadriceps injury, with the former posting at least five receptions in four of his last five games. McBride will aim to keep up his recent stretch of play in a Week 13 interconference road battle against the Steelers.

Schultz caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to Jacksonville in Week 12.

The two targets were a season low for Schultz, who entered the contest with nearly six targets per game. Still, his five touchdowns over the last eight games, coupled with a productive passing offense led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, make Schultz an attractive option each week. Further to that point, the tight end is tied for the team lead in red-zone targets (10) along with Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

Kolar (illness) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Chargers.

Kolar approached the contest listed as questionable, but he'll be available to work alongside fellow tight end Isaiah Likely. With Mark Andrews (ankle) on IR and out indefinitely following ankle surgery, Kolar figures to see added snaps in the coming weeks, but it remains to be seen what sort of volume he might see Sunday, with Likely presumably destined to absorb a decent portion of Andrews' target share going forward.

Everett (chest) is officially active for Sunday's home game against the Ravens.

Everett exited early in Week 10 and sat out Week 11, but he's ready to return in Week 12. Donald Parham and Stone Smartt should continue to see playing time alongside Everett, but Everett has been Los Angeles' top pass catcher at tight end when available, with a team-high average of 3.4 targets per game in eight appearances. Baltimore has allowed only one touchdown to a tight end in 2023.

Engram caught five of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Texans.

Engram actually led the Jaguars in targets but posted another modest stat line. He leads the team with 64 catches and is just two targets shy of Christian Kirk's team lead with 82, but Engram has a pedestrian 524 receiving yards and has yet to score a touchdown heading into a Week 13 home game against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.

Johnson caught four of seven targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

Johnson logged the Saints' second-most targets behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (nine), even though the latter was forced out during the third quarter with a concussion and did not return for the remainder of the game. Wideout Rashid Shaheed also sustained a thigh injury that forced him to exit during the second quarter. With Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve, it appears that the 6-foot-3 tight end was the next-best option in New Orleans' pass-catching depth chart. Johnson also recorded season highs in both targets and receiving yards, though he still finished with fewer receiving yards than Olave (114), versatile tight end Taysom Hill (55) and running back Alvin Kamara (50). Should Olave and Shaheed miss time as a result of their injuries, then Johnson's production could benefit moving forward.

Tremble (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Titans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tremble started at tight end with Hayden Hurst (concussion) out for the game, and the former had one catch for seven yards before leaving Sunday's contest.
