Everett (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Everett caught both of his targets for 23 yards prior to exiting in the second quarter. He's yet another notable pass catcher to get hurt in a Chargers passing game that's already without wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring), Mike Williams (ankle) and Jalen Guyton (knee).

Wesco was targeted once but didn't tally a reception in the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Wesco has been targeted three times this season, catching one pass for 23 yards. He's mostly used as a blocker, so unless his role changes, he won't likely be a viable fantasy option in most leagues.

Ertz (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks, but his ACL appears to be intact, though an MRI on Monday will determine the extent of his injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury didn't have an immediate update on Ertz's injury after the game, but it appears Ertz will likely sit out multiple games after hurting his knee in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams. Trey McBride will start at tight end while Ertz is sidelined.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury didn't have an update on Ertz's (knee) status after Sunday's 27-17 win over the Rams, and the tight end was seen wearing a knee brace in the locker room, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Ertz didn't return to the game after being carted to the locker room in the first quarter. He'll have one extra day to heal up since the Cardinals don't play until MNF against the 49ers in Week 11, but it's unclear if the veteran tight end's currently viewed as day-to-day, week-to-week or worse. If Ertz misses additional time, rookie second-round pick Trey McBride would ascend to the top of Arizona's tight end depth chart.

Hockenson caught seven of 10 targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.

Hockenson has been targeted 19 times in two games with the Vikings, catching 16 of those for 115 yards. His steady diet of targets from Kirk Cousins has elevated Hockenson back into the upper echelon of the thin tight-end position, especially in PPR formats. The former Detroit tight end will face the Cowboys in Week 11. Dallas held Hockenson to four catches for 48 yards as a member of the Lions in Week 7.

Kmet caught four of seven targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Lions.

Justin Fields' sudden surge of passing production has benefitted Kmet the most -- of the quarterback's seven TDs through the air over the last three games, the tight end has been on the other end of five of them. Kmet's 74 yards were also a season high, although most of them came on a 50-yard touchdown in the third quarter on a busted coverage by the Detroit secondary. The 2020 second-round pick will look to continue his scoring binge in Week 11 against the Falcons.

Wright caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.

The Lions' tight ends didn't get many looks from Jared Goff as a group, but Wright made his one target count by scoring his first TD of the season in the second quarter. The second-year player will continue to compete with rookie James Mitchell and Shane Zylstra for snaps and touches in Week 11 against the Giants.

Ertz sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game at the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

On third-and-4 late in the first quarter, quarterback Colt McCoy connected with Ertz for a 12-yard completion. However, Ertz was in noticeable pain right away and walked slowly to the sideline tent before getting carted to the locker room. If he doesn't return, he'll end Week 10 action with just the one catch. Rookie second-round pick Trey McBride and Stephen Anderson are the next tight ends up for the Cardinals.

Kelce secured six of seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 27-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Kelce had a relatively modest day by his standards, but he still co-led the Chiefs in receptions and set the pace in receiving yards. The talented tight end added his eighth touchdown grab of the season and first since he racked up four against the Raiders in Week 5 when he brought in a seven-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter. Kelce will head into a Week 11 road divisional showdown against the Chargers next Sunday night with no fewer than 81 receiving yards in four straight contests.

Alie-Cox (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Alie-Cox missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to a limited session Friday, setting the stage for him to be available Sunday. The tight end recorded a 6-85-2 receiving line in Week 4, but apart from that Alie-Cox hasn't hauled in more than two passes in any game this season while working in a timeshare with Kylen Granson and Jelani Woods (shoulder). With Woods out Sunday, Alie-Cox could see added opportunities alongside Granson (with Nikola Kalinic in reserve), but he still profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.
