  • Mitchell Evans TE | CAR

    Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Paces Panthers' TEs in win

    Evans caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.

    Evans led the Panthers' tight-end corps in targets, receptions and yards during Sunday's upset win, while Ja'Tavion Sanders (no targets) and Tommy Tremble (one catch for two yards on two targets) saw minimal involvement. Evans, a 2025 fifth-round pick from Notre Dame, has now caught 14 of 18 targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns through 13 contests this season. His role could continue to grow within Carolina's offense as the year progresses.

  • Taysom Hill TE | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Tallies two touches Week 13

    Hill gathered in his only target for five yards and logged one rushing attempt for two yards during Sunday's 21-17 defeat to the Dolphins.

    Hill logged fewer than three touches for the first time since Week 6. RB1 Alvin Kamara was inactive after spraining his MCL during last week's loss to Atlanta, but backup running back Devin Neal handled the bulk of the rushing workload with 14 carries. Third-year running back Evan Hull also chipped in with five rushing attempts. Across eight appearances this regular season, Hill has accrued 33 carries for 71 yards and one touchdown to go along with four catches (on five targets) for 23 yards. It seems unlikely that he'll become a significant piece of what has been a struggling Saints offense this year.

  • Jeremy Ruckert TE | NYJ

    Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Catches both targets in win

    Ruckert caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

    Ruckert reached double digits in receiving yards for the sixth time in 12 games this season. He continues to work as the No. 2 tight end behind rookie second-round pick Mason Taylor heading into a Week 14 home game against the Dolphins.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Paces pass catchers in loss

    McBride brought in eight of nine targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Despite Marvin Harrison's return from a two-game absence due to an appendectomy, McBride remained highly involved as customary and finished the afternoon leading the Cardinals across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The standout tight end also came down with his eighth touchdown grab of the season on a 15-yard grab with just under five minutes remaining in the game, which served as the final points of the day for either squad. McBride has at least eight receptions and 79 yards in four consecutive games and six of the last seven overall, keeping him as an elite option heading into a Week 14 home matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

  • Mason Taylor TE | NYJ

    Jets' Mason Taylor: Two catches in win

    Taylor caught two of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

    Taylor finished second on the team in receiving yards, though he was nowhere close to leading receiver Adonai Mitchell, who caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. The Jets don't generate much offense through the air, but Taylor reliably gets a few opportunities per game, as this was only the second time in the last six outings that the rookie second-round pick has been held short of three receptions. Up next for Taylor and the Jets is a Week 14 home game against the Dolphins.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Tallies nine targets versus Miami

    Johnson logged five receptions (on nine targets) for 39 yards during Sunday's 21-17 defeat to the Dolphins.

    Johnson logged over eight targets for the first time since Week 2 and led the team in this category ahead of wideouts Devaughn Vele (eight) and Chris Olave (seven). The tight end finished with a decent outing by his standard, as he's now averaging 4.5 receptions and 48.0 receiving yards per game across 12 outings. In four games with rookie QB Tyler Shough starting under center, Johnson has accumulated an 18-208-2 stat line. He should remain as one of the Saints' top three targets when they next play versus Tampa Bay in Week 14.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Team-high yardage in return

    Waller (pectoral), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, brought in two of three targets for 47 yards in the Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Making his return from a minimum four-game stay on injured reserve, Waller finished with a team-high yardage total on a low-volume day for the Dolphins' air attack. The veteran tight end also came close to securing his fifth touchdown reception of the season in the second half, and he turned in an encouraging performance overall. Waller figures to remain a key part of the passing game down the stretch as Miami tries to complete a longshot bid for a wild-card spot.

  • Tyler Warren TE | IND

    Colts' Tyler Warren: Scores fifth touchdown

    Warren recorded three receptions on four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans. He had one rush attempt for zero yards.

    Warren, who was dealing with an illness that led to him being added to the injury report Saturday, matched his season low in targets and was also limited to his lowest yardage total of the campaign. His longest catch of the day came on a 12-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter, his fifth score of the campaign and first since Week 7. After a hot start to the season, Warren has been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards in three of his last four games.

  • Browns' Harold Fannin: Hits paydirt for only Browns TD

    Fannin caught three of five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-8 loss to the 49ers.

    Most of the damage came on a 34-yard TD pass from Shedeur Sanders early in the second quarter, the longest passing play of the day by either team on a very windy day in Cleveland. Fannin's five targets and 43 yards paced all Browns pass catchers, and in two-plus games since Sanders took the reins of the offense, the rookie tight end has a 9-109-1 line on 16 targets. Fannin will look for his fourth touchdown of the season in a Week 14 tilt against the Titans.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Leading receiver in loss to Jets

    Pitts caught seven of eight targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.

    Pitts led the Falcons in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday as they played without Drake London (knee) for a second consecutive game. If London remains sidelined in Week 14, a few more targets could flow Pitts' way against a Seahawks defense that has struggled to defend tight ends. The 6-foot-6 tight end has secured multiple receptions in every game this season but has only one touchdown.
