Gesicki caught four of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.

Making his return from a four-game absence due to a pectoral strain, Gesicki paced Cincinnati tight ends in volume, as Noah Fant, Tanner Hudson and Drew Sample each had just one catch and none topped nine yards. The Bengals' passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return, but with Tee Higgins (concussion) potentially unavailable, there could be targets available once again for Gesicki in a Thanksgiving clash with the Ravens. Through seven appearances this season, he's managed a 12-96-0 line on 22 targets.

Warren secured five of seven targets for 45 yards in the Colts' 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Warren co-led the Colts in receptions and was second in both receiving yards and targets on an afternoon when Daniel Jones threw for a modest 181 yards at 5.8 yards per attempt. The rookie tight end has recorded at least four catches in eight consecutive games, although he's hit the 70-yard mark only twice in that span. Warren will head into a Week 13 home matchup against the Texans with a 55-662-3 line on 74 targets across 11 games.

Henry caught seven of 10 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Bengals.

The veteran tight end led the Patriots in receptions, targets and yards, capping his big day with a 28-yard TD from Drake Maye in the second quarter. It's the first 100-yard game for Henry since Week 2 of last season, and he's amassed a 41-537-5 line on 63 targets through 12 contests in 2025. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 13 against the Giants.

Gray is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.

Gray was taken to the locker room late in the fourth quarter, and given the stage of the game, it is unlikely that he will return Sunday. Robert Tonyan will be the Chiefs' backup tight end behind Travis Kelce the rest of the way.

Strange (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Strange last suited up for game action in Week 5, but after being activated from IR by the Jaguars on Saturday, the tight end will rejoin a pass-catching corps that could use a boost this week, with WR Travis Hunter (knee) out for the season and WR Brian Thomas (ankle) as well as TE Hunter Long (hip/knee) both sidelined versus Arizona. Prior to being sidelined, Strange had caught 20 passes (on 24 targets) for 204 yards in five contests, a pace that had landed him on the fantasy lineup radar before his hip injury.

Yurosek (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Yurosek will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season, as the Vikings will go with three tight ends on the active roster in T.J. Hockenson, Josh Oliver and Ben Sims for Sunday's NFC North clash. Yurosek's next opportunity to play is Week 13 against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 30.

Fidone (foot) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official sitereports.

Fidone was ruled out for Week 12 on Friday due to what appears to be a nagging foot injury he's dealt with all season. The 23-year-old, who primarily contributes on special teams, will now be out for at least the next four games.

The Lions elevated Firkser to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.

Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad in early November. The 30-year-old will likely be a depth piece behind Brock Wright and Ross Dwelley now that starter Sam LaPorta is expected to be out for the remainder of the season. Firkser, a seven-year pro, has 78 career games under his belt but hasn't appeared on the stat sheet since 2022.

The Bears elevated Kalinic from their practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Pittsburgh.

This is Kalinic's first elevation of the campaign after he signed with Chicago's practice squad in late August. The 28-year-old has played in nine career NFL games -- seven in 2022 with Indianapolis and two in 2024 with the Rams -- and has yet to see a passing target. The Bears have three other healthy tight ends (Cole Kmet, Colston Loveland and Durham Smythe) on the roster, so Kalinic could be on the outside looking in for any offensive snaps Sunday.

The Cardinals elevated Brown from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Brown was added to Arizona's practice squad in mid-October. He made his first appearance with the team in Week 11 against San Francisco, recording 11 offensive snaps and 10 on special teams. The 31-year-old will again be available for Week 12 as TE4 behind Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Josiah Deguara should Brown be active.
