Houston elevated Schreck from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

With Schreck in the mix, the Texans will have five tight ends available in Week 15. The 27-year-old has two receptions for six yards on two targets through two games in 2022.

Andrews recorded three receptions on seven targets for 31 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to the Browns.

Andrews led the team in targets, but the results didn't follow. He made his first catch with only 18 seconds left in the first half, and it resulted in a 19-yard gain -- his longest of the day. In two full games without Lamar Jackson (knee), Andrews has managed only 48 yards on 13 targets.

Las Vegas waived Hollister on Saturday.

With Darren Waller (hamstring) finally coming off of the injured reserve list, the Raiders decided to part ways with Hollister. Provided he isn't claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Hollister is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Hockenson caught three of nine targets for 33 yards and also secured a two-point conversion in Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts.

Outside of catching a game-tying two-point conversion with 2:15 to play, Hockenson didn't contribute much to Minnesota's historic comeback from a 33-point halftime deficit. The tight end has been targeted at least six times in all six of his games as a member of the Vikings, and he should continue to play a prominent role in Minnesota's high-powered offense in Week 16 against the Giants.

The Chargers activated Parham (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.

Parham's 2022 campaign has been marred by numerous health concerns. First, a hamstring issue delayed his season debut to Week 5. After Week 6 action, Parham entered the concussion protocol and sat out Week 7. Following the team's Week 8 bye, he picked up another hamstring issue that forced him to IR. Now seemingly healthy for the first time in two months, Parham will have four potential appearances to close out the regular season as the nominal No. 2 tight end behind Gerald Everett.

Waller (hamstring) has been activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The return of Waller, who last suited up Week 5, will bolster the 5-8 Raiders' passing attack ahead of the team's last four games. In his looming return to the mix, Waller should reclaim his starting role ahead of Foster Moreau, who had been filling in as Las Vegas' top tight end. Prior to being sidelined, Waller logged a 16-175-1 line on 24 targets in five games, but assuming no setbacks, the 30-year-old should see enough volume down the stretch to yield fantasy utility.

The Eagles didn't activate Goedert (shoulder) ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After missing the requisite four games on injured reserve, Goedert was designated for return Wednesday, which allowed him to practice for the first time since he injured his shoulder Week 10 against the Commanders. It appears Philadelphia will take a cautious approach with its No. 1 tight end, though, and keep him out for one more contest, with an eye toward returning next Saturday, Dec. 24 in Dallas. In the meantime, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra will continue to man the position for the Eagles.

Ferguson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

With Ferguson unable to practice all week, Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon have been left for depth behind starter Dalton Schultz. Ferguson's next chance to play will be a Saturday game against the Eagles in Week 16 (Dec. 24).

Wesco (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia.

Wesco left the Bears' Week 13 loss to Green Bay early with a calf injury and doesn't appear to have made much progress during the team's Week 14 bye. The fourth-year tight end was sidelined for each practice of Week 15 prep and has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup, marking his first absence of the season. In his stead, Ryan Griffin figures to step up as the No. 2 tight end behind Cole Kmet.

Trautman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Trautman and Juwan Johnson (ankle) followed the same practice schedule (limited participation all week) and now both are listed as questionable ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. With Johnson out for the Saints' last game, Trautman handled a season-high 80 percent snap share and tied his season high of three targets, though it was Taysom Hill had more fantasy impact thanks to a 30-yard TD catch.
