Mitchell-Paden reverted to Baltimore's practice squad Monday.

Mitchell-Paden was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss versus the Bills as Isaiah Likely was sidelined with a foot injury, and the former ended up seeing playing time on both offense and special teams but failed to record any stats. Mitchell-Paden could play again next week versus the Browns if Likely remains out.

Ferguson played five snaps on special teams during Sunday's 14-9 win against the Texans.

Despite the second-round pedigree, Ferguson spent his first career regular-season game on the bench the Rams were on offense, failing to secure a single snap from scrimmage. Colby Parkinson (shoulder) had a rough day, however, taking two catches for minus-6 yards and losing a fumble while also sustaining a sprained AC joint in the victory. This may open the door for Ferguson to earn some snaps on offense in Week 2 alongside Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen, although a Titans defense that has been tough on tight ends under defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson may not be the most ideal setting for a breakout.

Higbee played 35 snaps on offense during Sunday's 14-9 win against the Texans.

For the first time since a Week 9 contest against Green Bay in 2023, the veteran tight end was held without a catch and failed to see even a target from Matthew Stafford. Higbee was on the field most out of the team's tight ends -- 35 of 60 snaps versus 29 for Colby Parkinson (shoulder) and 22 for Davis Allen -- but Parkinson and Allen recorded catches, and Allen scored what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown in the third quarter. Even with Parkinson suffering a sprained AC joint in the win, it'll be hard to trust Higbee or Allen for fantasy purposes given the amount of attention Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Kyren Williams command in the offense; a Week 2 contest against a Titans defense that held Broncos tight ends in check last week doesn't bode well for a potential rebound, either.

Kittle likely will miss 3-to-5 weeks due to the hamstring injury he sustained during Sunday's victory at Seattle, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan relayed during Monday's media session that Kittle was expected to miss a "few weeks," according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. If the timeline that Rapoport put forth is more accurate, though, Kittle would be a candidate to be placed on injured reserve, which would require at least four games on the sideline. For as long as Kittle is out, Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges will serve as San Francisco's tight ends.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Kittle will be out a "few weeks" due to the hamstring injury that knocked him out of Sunday's win in Seattle, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Kittle was ruled out in the first half with the health concern, and after undergoing an MRI it's been determined that the tight end will need to miss some time. Shanahan's comments indicate Kittle will miss at least this coming Sunday's contest at New Orleans and potentially an NFC West matchup with the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 21. Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges are in line for TE snaps for San Francisco for as long as Kittle is sidelined.

Bellinger secured his only target for 14 yards in a Week 1 loss against the Commanders on Sunday.

Bellinger got New York down to Washington's three-yard line on a 14-yard connection with Russell Wilson in the fourth quarter, but the Giants were unable to emerge with a score. Theo Johnson dominated tight-end snaps for New York in Week 1 with 53, while Chris Manhertz logged 18 and Bellinger recorded 15. Despite Bellinger outdoing Johnson in receiving yardage in the loss, the latter figures to be the lead pass-catching option among New York's tight-end corps as long as he remains healthy.

Johnson caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's loss to Washington.

Johnson dominated New York's tight-end snaps with 53 to Chris Manhertz's 18 and Daniel Bellinger's 15, but Johnson wasn't able to produce much with the opportunity. Meanwhile, Bellinger secured his only target for 14 yards while Manhertz didn't get any targets. The Giants' passing game -- and offense as a whole -- struggled Sunday, so it's difficult to glean much from individual players' stats on offense. It was at least promising for Johnson's fantasy viability moving forward that he logged such a heavy workload, though he'll likely need to get more balls thrown his way to have a chance of making an impact.

Parkinson (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Texans, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Parkinson played through the injury after briefly getting checked out in the locker room during the first half. While Tyler Higbee paced the Rams' tight ends in playing time with 35 offensive snaps, Parkinson was in on 29, while Davis Allen saw 22 plays. Rookie Terrance Ferguson played just five snaps on special teams. Parkinson turned his two targets into two catches for minus-6 yards and one lost fumble. It remains to be seen if he'll miss any time with the injury.

Farrell brought in his only target for four yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.

Starter George Kittle (hamstring) left the contest after scoring an early touchdown, opening up a chunk of playing time for the team's backup tight ends. Farrell finished with the most snaps played on offense (44), but it was third-stringer Jake Tonges (3-15-1) who absorbed Kittle's fantasy production despite logging 14 less snaps. It appears the 49ers view Farrell primarily as a blocking tight end regardless of where he sits on the depth chart. It is currently unclear how long Kittle will be sidelined for (if at all), but it appears that Tonges would be the fantasy beneficiary if the former can't suit up against the Saints next Sunday.

Tonges hauled in all three of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 win over Seattle.

Tonges was forced into action after starter George Kittle (hamstring) exited the contest early. The 26-year-old Tonges did his best Kittle impersonation when he leaped for a high-point pass in the corner of the end zone and came down with the game-winning touchdown. Fellow backup TE Luke Farrell wound up playing more snaps (44) than Tonges (30), but the latter is the more adept receiver for fantasy purposes. If Kittle is forced to miss any time, then Tonges could generate some value in deeper formats, but his ceiling would be capped by the timeshare he would likely operate under.
