  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: 'DNP' on practice estimate

    Otton (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    The Buccaneers held a walk-through practice Monday, so a more accurate read on Otton's chances of playing Thursday night against the Falcons should arrive via Tuesday's practice report. Over his last three games, the tight end -- who has yet to score a TD this season -- has averaged three catches, while compiling a total of 49 yards in that span.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Estimated as limited Monday

    Pitts (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Pitts recorded a 92 percent snap share in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, a game in which the tight end caught six of his 10 targets for a team-high 90 yards. Chances are, Pitts' listed limitations Monday were maintenance-related, with added context on that front set to arrive via Tuesday's injury report.

  • Ben Sims TE | MIN

    Vikings' Ben Sims: Gets first Vikings reception

    Sims had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.

    It was surprising to see Sims get a target as he'd played just ten snaps on offense since joining the Vikings in October. However, the Vikings used plenty of three-tight-end sets in the win. Sims isn't likely to get more than a few targets the rest of the season unless injuries strike T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver, however.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Commanders' Zach Ertz: ACL tear confirmed

    Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Ertz suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

    With Ertz now slated to miss the rest of the season, John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff are in line to handle the Commanders' TE duties down the stretch. Ertz thus finishes his 2025 campaign with 50 catches (on 72 targets) for 504 yards and four TDs in 13 games.

  • Packers' John FitzPatrick: Tallies two receptions

    FitzPatrick was targeted twice and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears.

    FitzPatrick led Packers tight ends in snaps for the third time in four games after falling behind both Luke Musgrave and Josh Whyle in Week 13, but as was the case previously, it did not lead to much in the box score. While FitzPatrick has the edge in playing time, Musgrave remains the Packers tight end to consider for fantasy purposes with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season.

  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Afterthought in receiving game

    Hill was not targeted during Miami's 34-10 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Hill started at tight end for the Dolphins and played 51 percent of offensive snaps versus New York, but he primarily worked as a blocker. Elsewhere at the tight-end position, both Darren Waller (one catch for 13 yards on three targets) and Greg Dulcich (three catches for 41 yards on three targets) are involved as pass catchers behind Jaylen Waddle, leaving few if any targets up for grab for Hill on a weekly basis. He can be safely left off the fantasy radar heading into a road matchup against the Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 15.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Fails to deliver in extended look

    Ferguson failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 45-17 win against the Cardinals.

    The second-round rookie out of Oregon was on the field for a season-high 45 snaps on offense, nearly the same amount as Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Parkinson paced the trio with three catches for 32 yards a touchdown, while Allen had a modest two catches for 21 yards. Ferguson only earned a single target from Matthew Stafford in the blowout, however, which he failed to bring in. This is the third game in a row that Ferguson has failed to secure a target, and the fourth straight in which the rookie has gone without a catch. Ferguson will try to get back on track against a depleted Lions defense in Week 15.

  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: Garners a pair of catches

    Allen secured both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.

    Despite Allen, Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson all being on the field for nearly identical amounts of time, Parkinson has become the clear top target of the trio during Tyler Higbee's (ankle) absence. Parkinson's six-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was his fourth touchdown in his last five games, while Allen has managed just eight catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in that same span. It's unlikely to see Allen's numbers significantly spike any time soon, even with a depleted Lions defense up next in Week 15.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Not targeted Week 14

    Morris didn't receive a target during Sunday's 36-19 win against Indianapolis.

    Morris and Hunter Long each played 20 offensive snaps behind starting tight end Brenton Strange. Morris has just two receptions for 25 yards in 10 games this season and is likely to see sporadic playing time the rest of the way, assuming Strange stays healthy.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Logs nine receiving yards in win

    Freiermuth secured two of three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens.

    Freiermuth led the Steelers' tight ends in playing time, taking the field for 60 percent of the team's offensive snaps. However, he had minimal fantasy production for a second consecutive week. The 2021 second-rounder had put together a string of seven consecutive performances with double-digit receiving yards following Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye, but he was held without a target last week against Buffalo before this week's disappointing performance. Darnell Washington exited Sunday's Week 14 matchup due to a concussion, but Freiermuth would still be battling Jonnu Smith for snaps and targets if Washington is forced to miss additional time.
