  • Chiefs' Robert Tonyan: Distant third in TE snaps in Week 14

    Tonyan went without a target while playing four of the Chiefs' 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

    As has been a recurring trend all season, Tonyan ranked a distant third in snaps among Chiefs tight ends, with Travis Kelce (91 percent snap share) and Noah Gray (45 percent) comfortably outpacing him. Tonyan has suited up for all 13 of the Chiefs' games this season but has been limited to just one catch for one yard on one target across 126 snaps on offense.

  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Chargers' Will Dissly: Records short reception in return

    Dissly notched a one-yard reception on his lone target while playing 27 of the Chargers' 74 snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.

    Dissly didn't suit up in any of the Chargers' previous five games -- once due to an illness, the other four times in coach's decisions -- but he returned to the mix Monday and served as the top backup option to starting tight end Oronde Gadsden. Los Angeles opened up the small role for Dissly by placing Tucker Fisk (ankle) on injured reserve and by making Tyler Conklin a healthy inactive for the Week 14 contest.

  • Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Held without target Monday

    Calcaterra wasn't targeted while playing 15 of the Eagles' 71 snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    Calcaterra continued to serve mainly as a blocker on offense for the Eagles; he didn't run a route on any of his 15 snaps in Week 14. Even with top tight end Dallas Goedert missing a game back in Week 2, Calcaterra hasn't made much of a splash in fantasy at any point this season. He's totaled five receptions for 48 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets through 11 appearances.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Not practicing Wednesday

    Njoku (knee) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Njoku suffered a knee injury during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14 on the play that saw him secure his only target for a one-yard touchdown catch. Now, his status appears up in the air for Sunday's game against the Bears. Rookie Harold Fannin will benefit from increased opportunities as the Browns' starting tight end if Njoku misses any time.

  • Kylen Granson TE | PHI

    Eagles' Kylen Granson: Goes without target again

    Granson didn't draw a target while playing two snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    Since recording his third reception of the season in a Week 11 game against the Lions, Granson hasn't been targeted in any of the Eagles' subsequent three contests. He's logged just nine total snaps on offense during that stretch while Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra continue to work ahead of him at tight end.

  • Cameron Latu TE | PHI

    Eagles' Cameron Latu: Limited usage on offense Monday

    Latu went without a target while playing five of the Eagles' 71 snaps on offense Monday in a 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    Latu has suited up in each of the Eagles' games since Week 2, but the reserve tight end continues to make most of his contributions on special teams. He's yet to draw a target across 59 snaps on offense this season.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Commanders' Zach Ertz: Placed on IR

    The Commanders placed Ertz (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Ertz will officially miss the remainder of the 2025 season after suffering an ACL tear during Washington's 31-0 loss to the Vikings in Week 14. In his stead, reps at the tight end position are slated to be split between John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff. Ertz is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 35-year-old tight end racked up 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns (72 targets) across 13 regular-season appearances in 2025.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Targeted four times win

    Barner caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.

    Barner continued to operate as the Seahawks No. 1 tight end Sunday, but he was unable to have a major impact in the passing attack. The 23-year-old, while getting consistent targets each week, has been unable to find the end zone since Week 5, limiting his fantasy upside. Barner will have his next opportunity to take a step forward and improve upon his recent weeks' limited production when the Seahawks host the Colts in Week 15.

  • Noah Fant TE | CIN

    Bengals' Noah Fant: Minimal production against Bills

    Fant caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.

    Fant was not a major factor in the Bengals' passing attack Sunday, recording just one grab for the third straight contest. The veteran tight end played 25 of Cincinnati's 60 offensive snaps, behind Drew Sample (27) and tied with Mike Gesicki. It was Gesicki, however, who had the biggest impact of any Bengals tight end, catching all six of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. With Gesicki operating as the team's top tight end in the passing game, Fant remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Ravens.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Absent from walkthrough

    Otton (knee) did not participate at the Buccaneers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

    Otton has been considered a non-participant in Tampa Bay's first two team sessions of the week, placing some doubt on his status for Week 15. The tight end will have one more chance to practice Wednesday before the team squares off with the Falcons on Thursday Night Football. If Otton can't play, Payne Durham would stand to operate as the team's top tight end.
