Horsted played all 23 of his snaps on special teams in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers.

Though the Raiders raced out to a 42-0 halftime lead, Horsted didn't end up seeing any action on offense even while several other backup players picked up snaps amid the blowout win. Horsted has logged just eight snaps on offense through the first 15 weeks of the season, recording one catch for four yards on one target.

Henry (knee) wasn't on the field for Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Henry sustained a knee injury in this past Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chiefs, leaving the game after compiling 66 yards and a touchdown on seven catches. The tight end has scored in both of his last two games, so the Patriots would be without a key offensive player if he's unable to play Sunday against the Broncos. Henry could still bolster his chances of playing this weekend by returning to practice Thursday or Friday.

Bell played 10 of 65 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.

Bell has suited up in each of the Chiefs' first 14 games of the season, but since hauling in a short touchdown reception in Week 1 when Travis Kelce was sidelined with a knee injury, the 32-year-old tight end has barely made a ripple in the box score. All together, Bell has put together a 3-19-1 receiving line on six targets this season while typically seeing only a handful of snaps behind Kelce and Noah Gray in any given week.

Saubert played all 25 of his snaps on special teams in the Texans' 19-16 overtime win over the Titans.

With Dalton Schultz (hamstring) returning to action after a two-game absence, Saubert dropped to third on the depth chart at tight end and saw his role on offense completely disappear. Even when he had been factoring into the mix on offense in recent weeks, Saubert recorded just one catch for five yards over 77 total snaps while serving mostly as a blocker during his time on the field.

Mitchell played six of the Lions' 66 snaps on offense and went without a target in Saturday's 42-17 win over the Broncos.

Mitchell has suited up for all but two of the Lions' 14 games this season, but the tight end has yet to draw a target and has seen more action on special teams than on offense. The Lions likely won't ask him to play more than a handful of reps at tight end in a given week when both Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright (groin) are available.

Morris went without a target while playing 18 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

Morris hasn't drawn a target since Week 11 and will likely continue to handle a muted role on offense as Buffalo's No. 3 tight end while both Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) and Dawson Knox are available.

Knox failed to draw a single target in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.

Knox played 42 of the Bills' 64 offensive snaps, while rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) was on the field for 33 snaps. Neither tight end was able to record a reception in the contest, though Kincaid did see two targets out of Josh Allen's 15 passing attempts. If both Knox and Kincaid are healthy enough to play in Buffalo's Week 16 game against the Chargers on Saturday, they could limit one another's overall ceiling, though Kincaid profiles as the more intriguing fantasy option of the two.

Fant caught three of five targets for 16 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles.

Drew Lock got the start at quarterback for the Seahawks, and Fant has a history with the signal caller dating back to their days in Denver. In turn, Fant received a season-high five targets, although that didn't translate into much production. It's unclear whether Geno Smith will be back in Week 16, but regardless, it will be tough to trust Fant given that he's averaging 25.3 yards per game with no touchdowns.

Parkinson caught his lone target for six yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles.

Parkinson finished with a 34 percent snap share. It was the ninth time this season that Parkinson didn't catch more than one pass, and he hasn't topped 30 yards in a game since Week 3 against the Panthers.

Parham (shoulder) isn't listed on the Chargers' first Week 16 injury report Tuesday.

Parham was listed as limited on all three Week 15 practice reports before being inactive for last Thursday's game at Las Vegas. With his status now improving, he'll resume working behind L.A.'s top tight end Gerald Everett on Saturday against the Bills. Overall, Parham already has set career highs across the board with his 22-202-4 line on 34 targets through 13 contests this season.
