  • 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.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Limited practice reps

    Pitts (knee) was a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Pitts has yet to be listed as a full participant on the Falcons' Week 15 practice reports, but his ability to get in a limited session Tuesday inspires confidence that he'll be able to play Thursday against the Buccaneers. With top wideout Drake London (knee) missing the last three games, Pitts has taken on a more prominent role in the passing attack, producing a 15-197-0 line on 23 targets. London has yet to resume practicing since suffering a PCL injury in Week 11 and is trending toward another absence Thursday, so Pitts once again shapes up as a solid fantasy option at tight end in Week 15.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Little production on Sunday night

    Gray gathered in one of his three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-10 defeat versus Houston.

    Gray's lone catch came on the last play of the contest, and he was unable to reel in either of the other two passes headed his direction. The fifth-year tight end hasn't notched more than three catches in a game this year and has yet to reach the end zone, so there isn't a ton to like from a fantasy standpoint. Even if Travis Kelce elects to hang up the cleats following the 2025 campaign, questions remain surrounding Gray's viability as a starting tight end.

  • Ross Dwelley TE | CAR

    Ross Dwelley: Waived by Detroit

    The Lions waived Dwelley on Tuesday.

    Dwelley played in 11 games this season, totaling two receptions for seven yards on five targets. The tight end will now be placed on waivers and, if he clears, will likely re-sign with the Lions' practice squad. The move likely was made to make space for new cornerback Arthur Maulet, however, the IR presence of Sam LaPorta (back), Brock Wright (neck) and Shane Zylstra (knee) means that if Dwelley can sign to the practice squad, he will likely be elevated for a future Lions game.

  • Joel Wilson TE | TEN

    Joel Wilson: Moved to injured list

    The Titans placed Wilson (undisclosed) on the team's practice squad/injured list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Wilson will now be ineligible for elevation to the active roster for the final four games of the season. In a corresponding move, the Titans signed free agent tight end Cole Turner to replace Wilson as an eligible depth tight end on the practice squad.

  • Cole Turner TE | TEN

    Cole Turner: Signs with Tennessee practice squad

    The Titans signed Turner to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    The signing marks Turner's first contract of the regular season after he was waived by the Commanders on Aug. 26. The tight end will be a reserve piece for the Titans, being available for elevation to the active roster behind starters Gunnar Helm, Chig Okonkwo and David Martin-Robinson.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Held quiet in Week 14

    Gadsden finished with one reception for seven yards on four targets in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.

    With a 62 percent snap share on the night, Gadsden once again handily paced Chargers tight ends in playing time, but it didn't translate into much production. Since recording at least five catches and 68 receiving yards in four straight games from Weeks 6 through 9, Gadsden has been limited to a 7-88-0 receiving line on 17 targets over the Chargers' ensuing four contests.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Big bump in usage Monday

    Goedert corralled eight of 10 targets for 78 yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

    Goedert was finally unleashed on Monday Night Football after being held to two catches in three consecutive starts. The 30-year-old finished with his best receiving line since posting season highs in receptions (nine), yards (110) and targets (11) against the Giants back in Week 6. Goedert's sporadic usage in 2025 makes him hard to trust on a weekly basis, but Monday's outburst should inspire some hope in fantasy managers for Sunday's tilt against the Raiders.
