Calcaterra wasn't targeted while playing 15 of the Eagles' 71 snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Calcaterra continued to serve mainly as a blocker on offense for the Eagles; he didn't run a route on any of his 15 snaps in Week 14. Even with top tight end Dallas Goedert missing a game back in Week 2, Calcaterra hasn't made much of a splash in fantasy at any point this season. He's totaled five receptions for 48 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets through 11 appearances.

Njoku (knee) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku suffered a knee injury during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14 on the play that saw him secure his only target for a one-yard touchdown catch. Now, his status appears up in the air for Sunday's game against the Bears. Rookie Harold Fannin will benefit from increased opportunities as the Browns' starting tight end if Njoku misses any time.

Granson didn't draw a target while playing two snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Since recording his third reception of the season in a Week 11 game against the Lions, Granson hasn't been targeted in any of the Eagles' subsequent three contests. He's logged just nine total snaps on offense during that stretch while Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra continue to work ahead of him at tight end.

Latu went without a target while playing five of the Eagles' 71 snaps on offense Monday in a 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Latu has suited up in each of the Eagles' games since Week 2, but the reserve tight end continues to make most of his contributions on special teams. He's yet to draw a target across 59 snaps on offense this season.

Cooper recorded a 19-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Cooper finished fourth among Philadelphia wideouts in snaps, taking the field for 21 of the Eagles' 71 offensive plays (30 percent). He came through with his longest play of the season in the fourth quarter, when he took a pass from Jalen Hurts for a 19-yard catch and run. So long as top wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith stay healthy, the undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State is unlikely to see his role on offense expand.

The Colts signed Grupe to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Grupe was elevated to make his Colts debut during the team's Week 14 loss to the Jaguars, in which he converted both of his field-goal tries and his only extra-point attempt. With the team having cut Michael Badgley and with Spencer Shrader (knee) out for the year, Grupe figures to operate as Indianapolis' kicker for the remainder of the 2025 campaign, assuming he's able to keep up his consistency. Next on deck for Grupe and the Colts is a road matchup against Seattle on Sunday.

The Colts signed Rypien to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Head coach Shane Steichen indicated Monday that Rypien could be in line to start Sunday's game against the Seahawks if Riley Leonard (knee) is forced to miss any time due to the Grade 1 PCL sprain in his right knee, though the team has since officially inked 44-year-old veteran Philip Rivers to the practice squad. Indianapolis' plan at the quarterback position in the wake of Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury figures to be an evolving situation, as Anthony Richardson (orbital) will not come off IR in Week 15 but could also join the picture eventually.

Dotson caught one of three targets for three yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Dotson caught just one of three targets for the second straight week, as the fourth-year wideout continues to see minimal usage in the Eagles struggling aerial attack. The 25-year-old should continue to operate as Philadelphia's No. 3 wide receiver, but this role is unlikely to produce much fantasy value down the stretch. Next up for the Eagles is a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.

Shipley caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Shipley failed to record a single rushing attempt Monday, while playing just seven of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps. In 11 appearances this season, the second-year running back has totaled just 11 rushes for 45 yards on offense, adding six receptions for 42 yards. Due to his limited usage in Philadelphia's backfield, Shipley should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.

The Commanders placed Ertz (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Ertz will officially miss the remainder of the 2025 season after suffering an ACL tear during Washington's 31-0 loss to the Vikings in Week 14. In his stead, reps at the tight end position are slated to be split between John Bates, Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff. Ertz is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 35-year-old tight end racked up 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns (72 targets) across 13 regular-season appearances in 2025.
