Sanders caught his lone target for six yards in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the 49ers.

Although he was targeted just once, Sanders was the only Panthers' tight end to contribute in the receiving game Monday night. He's now caught 25 of 30 targets for 176 yards through just nine contests this season. Expect the Texas product to remain Carolina's No. 1 option at TE but carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 13 matchup against the Rams.

Evans failed to catch his lone target in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the 49ers.

The rookie from Notre Dame operated as Carolina's third-string tight end in the Week 12 loss. He's now accumulated 11 receptions on 15 targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns through the team's first 12 games. Expect Evans to remain a minimal portion of Carolina's offensive game plan in the Week 13 matchup against the Rams.

Tremble was not targeted during Monday night's 20-9 loss to the 49ers.

The Notre Dame product has now gone without a reception in three of the Panthers' last four games, suggesting he's clearly behind Ja'Tavion Sanders in the team's tight-end corps. Tremble has appeared in all 12 of Carolina's games this season, catching 19 of 25 targets for 184 yards and a touchdown. He'll likely play another depth role in the Week 13 matchup against the Rams.

Thomas caught all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

Thomas assumed the TE2 role behind Brock Bowers after Michael Mayer exited the contest early due to an ankle injury, and Thomas took advantage of the opportunity with a season-high four receptions. Given the Raiders' affinity for 12 personnel, Thomas could be in line for a similar workload against the Chargers in Week 13 if Mayer remains sidelined.

Otton brought in four of seven targets for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday night.

Otton led the Buccaneers in receptions while tying for second in receiving yards for the Buccaneers on the night. Otton logged his usual hefty snap share -- 86 percent (60 snaps) -- but with Baker Mayfield exiting the game early due to a shoulder injury and Teddy Bridgewater similarly struggling to get much going through the air, the tight end's yardage total was his lowest since Week 4. Given Otton's usual shorter-area role, the tight end shouldn't see much of a downgrade in outlook if Bridgewater is forced to make a spot start Week 13 against the Cardinals.

Kittle finished with six receptions (on 10 targets) for 78 yards in Monday's 20-9 victory over the Panthers.

Kittle finished Monday's primetime tilt as the game's leading receiver off a season-high 10 targets. The 31-year-old has really found his groove since going catchless in his return from a hamstring injury Week 7, providing fantasy managers with a 29-304-4 receiving line over his last five starts. Kittle may be asked to utilize his elite blocking skills more than usual Week 13 in order to help the offensive line deal with the unstoppable force that is DE Myles Garrett when the 49ers visit the Browns on Sunday.

Firkser reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Firkser was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-27 overtime win against the Giants, failing to record any stats while playing three snaps on offense and seven snaps with the special-teams unit. The tight end finished as a distant second option at his position with Brock Wright logging 60 snaps on offense, but he did finish ahead of Ross Dwelley (2). With Sam LaPorta (IR, back) likely sidelined for the rest of the regular season, Firkser should have another opportunity to be elevated in the near future.

Brown reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Brown made his second appearance of the regular season during Sundays' 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars, when he played 20 snaps (eight on offense, 12 on special teams) while recording a tackle on punt coverage. He's eligible to be elevated from the practice squad once more by the Cardinals this season, which could come as soon as Week 13 against the Buccaneers this Sunday.

Gray (concussion) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Chiefs' walkthrough Monday.

Gray suffered a concussion in the team's 23-20 overtime win against the Colts on Sunday, so his inability to participate Monday comes as no surprise. The tight end will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Thursday's contest against the Cowboys, which feels like a long shot. If Gray is unable to go in Week 13, Robert Tonyan would stand to operate in the top reserve spot at tight end behind Travis Kelce in Dallas.

Kalinic (undisclosed) was placed on the Bears' practice-squad injured list Monday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Kalinic was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 31-28 win over the Steelers, recording a tackle and a forced fumble while playing 15 snaps on special teams. The tight end suffered an apparent injury in the game, leaving the team's Week 12 win in a cast. Kalinic reverted to the team's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log, and he will now be forced to miss some time moving forward.
