Parham (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Parham and fellow tight end Gerald Everett (hip) were both listed as limited as the Chargers began their preparations for Thursday's road game against the Raiders. While Parham would gain some appeal if he ultimately suits up and Everett doesn't, the entire Los Angeles passing game is likely facing a significant downgrade with Easton Stick expected to start at quarterback in place of Justin Herbert (finger).

Everett (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Everett has dealt with a myriad of injuries this season, and the latest is a hip issue, though this one doesn't seem overly severe based on his limited designation Monday. How much Everett can participate when the team takes the practice field Tuesday may help clarify the tight end's status for Thursday's game in Las Vegas, which likely will feature backup quarterback Easton Stick under center for the Chargers in place of Justin Herbert (finger). Fellow tight end Donald Parham (shoulder) was also estimated as limited Monday.

Moreau logged two catches (on two targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 28-6 win against the Panthers.

Moreau played at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps for the second week in a row after doing so just twice across his first nine appearances of the year. The 26-year-old likely saw a bump in playing time due to the absence of Taysom Hill (foot), combined with a smaller showing for Juwan Johnson, as the latter played just 40 percent of the snaps after being limited with a quad issue during Week 14 prep. Moreau and Johnson still tied with 37-year-old tight end Jimmy Graham in terms of both targets and receptions Sunday. Graham also was the only member of this position group to catch a touchdown pass Sunday, as he's seemingly become one of the Saints' go-to targets in the red zone as of late. Moreau now has caught all but one of his 16 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown across 11 games this season. Expect him to continue seeing limited production as the Saints employ a balanced snap rotation at tight end during their Week 15 game versus the Giants.

Johnson gathered in both of his targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 28-6 victory against the Panthers.

Johnson caught two passes in the first half after logging three limited practices during Week 14 prep. The 27-year-old wound up playing a season-low 40 percent of New Orleans' offensive snaps, though it's unclear if this was due to his lingering quad issue or if he was just overtaken by Foster Moreau, as the latter played 63 percent of snaps and was listed as the team's starting tight end Sunday. These two along with veteran tight end Jimmy Graham combined for just six catches on as many targets despite the absence of Taysom Hill (foot), and Graham logged the unit's lone receiving touchdown. Across nine appearances this season, Johnson now has recorded 20 receptions (on 34 targets) for 152 yards and one touchdown. His lackluster production this season, and especially over the last few weeks, leaves little confidence for his value heading into Week 15 versus the Giants.

Tremble caught one of three targets for two yards in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Saints.

Tremble found the stat sheet but barely produced any yardage. Considering he's reached double-digit yardage only four times in 12 games, though, Tremble's Sunday output was close to his usual performance.

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.
