Whyle recorded two receptions on five targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to Tampa Bay.

Whyle got more involved in the offense, commanding a career-high five targets while also playing 27 offensive snaps. Chigoziem Okonkwo remains the top tight end in Tennessee, though the team has shown a willingness to play with two tight ends on the field regularly. That could result in increased usage for Whyle down the stretch as the Titans look to improve their offense.

Okonkwo recorded three receptions (on six targets) for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers.

Even with Will Levis under center, the story remains the same for Okonkwo. Okonkwo has consistent involvement in the offense -- he's earned at least four targets in seven of nine games -- but isn't utilized downfield, as only one of his 27 receptions on the season has gone for more than 20 yards. He now has failed to reach 30 receiving yards in four consecutive contests.

Kincaid brought in five of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.

Kincaid set the pace for the Bills in receptions and tied for the team lead in targets while recording his second career touchdown on a 22-yard grab late in the first half. The rookie tight end has recorded at least five catches in four consecutive contests and scored in two of the last three, keeping his fantasy stock elevated heading into a Week 11 divisional battle against the Jets.

Otton brought in two of three targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Otton finished tied with Rachaad White and Trey Palmer for third on the team in receptions, but his numbers were a noteworthy disappointment for fantasy managers banking on a successful encore to his season-best 6-70-2 line in Week 9 against the Texans. Otton's production is bound to continue fluctuating due to game script and the involvement of top wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as well as White, who's proven to be one of the best pass-catching backs in the league during his second campaign.

Parham caught both of his targets for 18 yards in the 41-38 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Parham once again received a red-zone target, but he was unable to bring it down. He continues to see close to 30 snaps a game on average, but he's drawn just 10 total targets over the last four contests in which Gerald Everett has been healthy.

Jackson reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jackson started alongside Daniel Bellinger in the Week 10 loss to the Cowboys, but Jackson only saw 12 of a possible 57 offensive snaps while the latter played 46. Jackson was even out-snapped by No. 3 tight end Lawrence Cager (13). He failed to record any snaps and will now look to make an impression at practice in hopes of a future elevation to the active roster.

Keene reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.

Keene was added to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals, failing to record any stats while playing eight snaps on offense and 14 with the special-teams unit. With Brevin Jordan (foot) uncertain for Houston's matchup with the Cardinals in Week 11, it's possible that Keene is once again asked to fill Jordan's spot.

Tremble caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in a 16-13 loss to the Bears in Week 10.

Tremble has made multiple receptions in four straight games, with his three grabs last time out marking a season high. Although fellow tight end Ian Thomas (calf) was cleared to rejoin practice Monday, Tremble has slightly improved his stock lately.

Hurst caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 16-13 loss to the Bears.

Hurst trailed fellow tight end Tommy Tremble in receiving, although Tremble's three grabs for 16 yards wasn't anything special. With Ian Thomas (calf) cleared to rejoin practice, Hurst may have more competition at the position before long, even if Thomas mostly serves as a blocker.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Everett (back) is day-to-day, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Everett departed Sunday's game against the Lions early in the second half due to a back injury and was unable to return, finishing Week 10 with no catches on two targets. Outside of two touchdown grabs in eight appearances this season, he's been contained to 21 receptions on 27 targets for 167 yards. If Everett is unable to play or is limited for a Week 11 contest at Green Bay, Donald Parham would take on a larger role.
