Jack Stoll TE | CLE
Eagles' Jack Stoll: Makes three catches
Stoll recorded three catches on three targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Titans.
Stoll had his best game since stepping in as the top tight end in the absence of Dallas Goedert (shoulder). He also tallied his first multi-catch performance of the season. The majority of Stoll's production came on a 26-yard reception early in the second quarter, and he also chipped in gains of eight and seven yards. Stoll will serve as the starting tight end in Philadelphia for at least one more game until Goedert is eligible to return from injured reserve.

Noah Fant TE | NO
Seahawks' Noah Fant: Hauls in TD in win
Fant caught four of five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.
He was on the other end of a four-yard TD toss from Geno Smith early in the second quarter, Fant's second touchdown of the season. The tight end remains a secondary part of the Seahawks' passing game, but he's caught multiple passes in five straight games heading into a Week 14 clash with the Panthers.

Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT
Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Racks up 76 yards
Freiermuth recorded three catches on five targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Falcons.
Freiermuth was involved early, tallying two receptions for 19 yards on Pittsburgh's first possession. He managed only one catch thereafter, though he accounted for Pittsburgh's longest play from scrimmage with a 57-yard catch midway through the second quarter. Freiermuth continues to serve as a key target for rookie Kenny Pickett, as he now has at least three catches in each of his last six games. In that same span, he's topped 75 yards on three occasions.

Daniel Bellinger TE | TEN
Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Totals five catches in return
Bellinger caught all five of his targets for 24 yards Sunday in the Giants' 20-20 tie with Washington.
Playing in his first game since suffering a fractured left eye socket against Jacksonville in Week 7, Bellinger tied his career-best mark with five catches and finished in a tie for third on the team with five targets. The rookie tight end was used exclusively as a short-yardage option -- his longest gain went for just eight yards -- but it was still promising to see his level of involvement after the long layoff. New York appears committed to Bellinger as the team's clear-cut No. 1 tight end, giving him some low-end fantasy value at the position despite the Giants' mediocre passing game.

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Another down game
Kittle caught two of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 33-17 win over Miami.
Kittle was an afterthought on offense in a game during which the 49ers threw the ball 41 times. The 29-year-old tied fullback Kyle Juszczyk for the second-lowest target total Sunday (three), and the latter even had a red-zone play drawn up for a touchdown to add salt to the fantasy wounds of the tight end's managers. Kittle has finished with less than 30 receiving yards and no scores in five of 10 games in 2022. Kittle should be treated as a boom-or-bust fantasy play in Week 14 with third-string quarterback Brock Purdy under center against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN
Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Held to 33 yards
Hockenson recorded four receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Jets.
Hockenson tied Adam Thielen for second on the team in targets, and he now has at least six targets in every game since joining the Vikings. He accounted for a significant portion of his production with a 13-yard reception early in the fourth quarter on a drive that resulted in the game-winning touchdown. Despite the consistent opportunity, Hockenson has now racked up fewer than 50 receiving yards in four consecutive games.

Jelani Woods TE | NYJ
Colts' Jelani Woods: Listed as active Sunday night
Woods (shoulder/quad) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.
Woods, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, logged a full session Friday before being deemed questionable for the contest. The 2022 third-rounder, who is coming off a breakout effort in Week 12 in which he caught eight of his nine targets for 98 yards in a 24-17 loss to the Steelers, will give it a go versus Dallas, but the return to action of fellow tight end Kylen Granson (who was inactive versus Pittsburgh due to an illness) means that Woods will have to share snaps with both Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, a context that could cut into the rookie's volume Sunday night.

Greg Dulcich TE | MIA
Broncos' Greg Dulcich: Team-high receiving yardage in loss
Dulcich brought in six of eight targets for 85 yards in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
The rookie tight end bounced back from a rough stretch that had seen him produce a 7-52 line on 12 targets over his previous three games, tying his career best in receptions and posting his second-highest receiving yardage tally. Dulcich led the Broncos in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the day as well, sending him into a Week 14 home battle against the Chiefs with positive momentum.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Paces pass catchers in win
Andrews brought in four of seven targets for 53 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Ravens' 10-9 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Andrews led the Ravens' air attack in receiving yards and checked in second in targets while working the last three quarters with Tyler Huntley as his quarterback in place of Lamar Jackson (knee). Andrews now has at least four grabs in three straight games, but it remains to be seen how his production will be affected if he's forced to operate with Huntley as his quarterback again in a Week 14 road divisional clash against the Steelers.
