  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Njoku (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Njoku, who continues to manage a knee issue, was also limited this past Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday and approaching Week 13 action without an injury designation. A similar pattern could be on tap for the tight end ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Not playing Thursday

    Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.

    Wright now will miss a second consecutive contest due to a tracheal injury that may result in an extended absence, as coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Sunday. With Sam LaPorta (back) potentially out for the season, the Lions will lean on Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci at TE in Week 14. Wright's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Rams.

  • Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Pharaoh Brown: Joins active roster

    The Cardinals signed Brown from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    The 31-year-old has appeared in the Cardinals' last three games, contributing both offensively and on special teams (25 snaps on offense and 30 on special teams). Now with the active roster, Brown will likely continue playing a depth role in Arizona's tight-end room for the remainder of the season.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Remains listed as limited

    Coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (hamstring/knee) will be limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    That will mark the third straight limited listing for Kincaid, who last saw game action in Week 10. The tight end thus has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Bills assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. During Kincaid's absence, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes have been handling Buffalo's TE duties.

  • Jackson Hawes TE | BUF

    Bills' Jackson Hawes: Targeted once in win

    Hawes caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.

    Hawes played 52 of the Bills 74 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season and just one fewer snap than fellow tight end Dawson Knox. With teammate Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined, the 24-year-old Hawes continues to see an uptick in usage in the Bills passing game, but it has not yet led to any major production. Based on his limited target share, the rookie remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Downgrades to DNP on Tuesday

    Zylstra (knee) did not participate at practice Tuesday.

    It's a somewhat concerning sign for Zylstra, who Detroit just designated for return to practice from its injured reserve list Monday. It's looking increasingly unlikely he'll be able to suit up Thursday versus the Cowboys.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Idle for another practice

    Wright (neck) didn't practice Tuesday.

    Detroit has listed Wright as a non-participant on its first two Week 14 practice reports, a development that comes as little surprise after head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that the tight end was dealing with an injury to his trachea that could result in a long-term absence, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. For now, the Lions are evaluating Wright's status on a game-by-game basis, and at this point, he seems likely to miss Thursday's game against the Cowboys. Ross Dwelley, who caught one of three targets for three yards in Week 13, would likely step up as the Lions' top pass-catching option at tight end.

  • Patriots' Austin Hooper: Held without a catch Monday

    Hooper was on the field for 25 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-15 win over the Giants, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

    In the process, Hooper, who caught three of his four targets for 39 yards the Patriots' Week 12 win over the Bengals, did not record a target in the contest, while fellow TE Hunter Henry (49 snaps) brought in four of six targets for 73 yards. Hooper heads into his team's bye week with a 16/213/1 receiving line on 19 targets in 12 games, a rate of production that limits his fantasy viability to the deepest of formats.

  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Unable to secure only target

    Hill could not secure his only target during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Hill's 56 percent snap share was the highest of any of Miami's tight ends, but he mostly contributed as a blocker. Darren Waller saw more involvement in the passing game and led Miami with 47 receiving yards on just two catches. Meanwhile, No. 3 tight end Greg Dulcich was also more involved than Hill as a receiver, securing both of his targets for 24 yards. Hill will likely reprise a similar level of involvement in Week 14 versus the Jets.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Matches previous high in targets

    Johnson had three receptions (on eight targets) for 29 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.

    Johnson matched his previous single-game high in targets (eight) set back in Week 10 against the Bears, but the large volume didn't translate into proportional production this time around. The 24-year-old was New York's fourth-leading receiver despite tying Wan'Dale Robinson for the most looks from Jaxson Dart on Monday Night Football. Johnson has still been a pleasant surprise in fantasy this season by generating a 42-456-5 receiving line across 13 games while catching passes from three different quarterbacks. The Penn State product has carved out a significant role on offense and should maintain steady value when the Giants return from the upcoming bye week to host the Commanders in Week 15.
