Freiermuth (chest) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Freiermuth was a limited participant in the Steelers' first Week 2 practice Thursday, but his upgrade to full activity Friday should clear the way for him to play in Monday's game against the Browns. The third-year tight end missed some time during the Steelers' season-opening loss to the 49ers but still came through for fantasy managers with a three-yard touchdown reception on four targets over his 31 snaps.

Johnson (calf) was a full practice participant Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Johnson is set to play Monday night against Carolina, after catching three of five targets for 36 yards in a 16-15 win over the Titans last week. He finished the game with 75 percent snap share and 81 percent route share, unimpacted by the presence of offseason additions Foster Moreau and Jimmy Graham (12 combined routes, no targets).

Ogletree (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Texans, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Ogletree was DNP Wednesday, limited Thursday, and then upgraded to full Friday. He just needs to clear the concussion protocol. Ogletree played 21 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1's loss to the Jaguars. Kylen Granson was in on a position-best 61 percent of the downs and turned six targets into a scoreless 4-39-0 effort.

Kelce (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Kelce is working his way back from a bone bruise in his right knee, an injury he sustained in a Sept. 5 practice before he ultimately sat out the Chiefs' season-opening loss to the Lions. Though Kelce wasn't able to turn in a full practice during Week 2 prep, head coach Andy Reid told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network earlier Friday that the standout tight end is expected to play this weekend. Fantasy managers should thus feel comfortable inserting Kelce into Week 2 lineups, even though his availability won't be officially confirmed until the Chiefs release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Andrews (quadricep) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

For the second game in a row, Andrews will take a questionable designation into the weekend, but he should have a better chance at being available this Sunday after he was ultimately inactive for the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Texans. After logging a trio of limited practices a week ago before sitting out against Houston, Andrews remained limited Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full activity Friday. Assuming Andrews' quad injury responded well to Friday's session, he should be able to assume his usual duties as the Ravens' starting tight end Sunday in what would be his season debut. Official confirmation on Andrews' status one way or the other will arrive when Baltimore releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Waller (hamstring/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Things were trending in this direction after Waller made it through Week 1 without aggravating the hamstring and had 'rest' added to his Week 2 injury report. He caught three passes for 36 yards in the first half of a 40-0 loss to the Cowboys last week but then barely played after halftime. Waller did play 89 percent of snaps in the first half, most among New York's skill-position players, with the offense centering on him and RB Saquon Barkley until things got out of hand. A matchup with the lowly Cardinals should provide those two and the rest of the offense with better opportunities to score fantasy points, even if standout left tackle Andrew Thomas (questionable - hamstring) doesn't end up playing.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Kelce (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, barring any setbacks leading up to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

After sitting out the Chiefs' Week 1 loss to the Lions with a bone bruise in his knee, Kelce returned to the practice field as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday. Reid hasn't revealed whether Kelce will upgrade to full activity during the Chiefs' final practice of the week Friday, and while the tight end could still end up taking a questionable tag into Sunday, he's apparently shown enough progress in his recovery from the injury to convince the Kansas City staff he'll be ready to play against Jacksonville. Assuming Kelce does in fact gain clearance for Sunday, he should immediately settle back into a high-volume role in a Kansas City pass-catching corps that didn't have any of its other members notably step up in his absence during the season opener.

Coach Brian Daboll told reporters Friday that Waller (hamstring/rest) "moved around good" during Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Waller was listed as questionable last week and looked perfectly healthy, playing 89 percent of snaps in the first half while accounting for 36 of the Giants' receiving yards before the break. He didn't play much after halftime with the Cowboys up big on the Giants, but the addition of the word 'rest' on the Week 2 injury report suggests he came out of the opener without aggravating his hamstring. Waller is on track to play this Sunday at Arizona and probably won't have to worry about his team getting blown out this week.

Goedert brought in six of seven targets for 22 yards in the Eagles' 34-28 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.

On the bright side, Goedert recorded his first six grabs of the season, a tally that also served as a team-high figure. The talented tight end did all his work close to the line of scrimmage, however, and nine of his yards came on one reception. Goedert's meager production thus far appears to largely be circumstantial, as Jalen Hurts has thrown for under 200 yards in each of the first two games. The sixth-year pro will look to make more of an impact in a Week 3 Monday night road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sept. 25.

Hockenson brought in seven of eight targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 34-28 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.

The talented tight end had already amassed eight catches during the Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, albeit for only 35 yards. Hockenson had one less grab but much more fantasy success four days later, scoring on a pair of five-yard grabs in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. He also posted a 24-yard reception that nearly outpaced his entire season-opening output, and with 15 receptions on 17 targets thus far, he's on pace early for career-best efficiency. Hockenson will aim to keep up the momentum during a Week 3 home matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 24.
