Wright caught two of seven targets for eight yards in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Eagles.

Wright stepped into the No. 1 role at tight end in Week 11 after Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on injured reserve, garnering a season-high seven targets from Jared Goff. Wright had seen just eight total targets over the team's last seven games combined, so although Goff couldn't connect with him often, the tight end appears to have absorbed a large chunk of the looks that LaPorta typically would've gotten. Wright will look to be more effective with his target share in Week 12 against the Giants.

Njoku brought in one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to Baltimore.

Njoku took a back seat to rookie tight end Harold Fannin -- as has been the case on numerous occasions this season -- resulting in the veteran's lowest reception total this season while tying his previous low in targets. The 31-year-old Njoku failed to extend his scoring streak to three games, highlighting how touchdown-dependent of an asset he has become following Fannin's emergence. Managers relying on Njoku will hope he gets back to his scoring ways against the Raiders next Sunday.

Fannin (hamstring) had two receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

Fannin continues to be limited during the practice week with a lingering hamstring issue, but it has not cost the tight end any game action while he continues to play through it. The third-round rookie still finished ahead of veteran starter David Njoku in production Sunday, with the latter being held to one catch for seven yards on two targets. The status of starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) is currently unclear for Week 11, but Fannin should continue providing deep-league value no matter which rookie signal-caller is under center against the Raiders next Sunday.

Goedert finished with two receptions on five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over Detroit.

Goedert was held in check in what turned out to be a defensive battle between NFC contenders on Sunday Night Football. The two receptions marked the 30-year-old's lowest total since his one-catch effort back in Week 2. The five targets were on par with the 4.3 the tight end averaged coming into the contest, hinting at Sunday's dud simply being a down game from Goedert. The Eagles will take on the Cowboys next Sunday, who Goedert recorded a 7-44-0 line against when the two teams met back in Week 1.

Andrews had three receptions on five targets for 32 yards while taking his only carry for a 35-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Browns.

Andrews was the unlikely hero in Sunday's comeback victory when he took a direct snap from under center -- attempting to convert on fourth and short -- that wound up going for 35 yards and the game-winning score. The veteran tight end managed to extend his modest touchdown streak to three games, albeit in an unexpected fashion (he previously had zero career rushing touchdowns). Andrews' recent scoring binge has elevated him into must-start territory against the Jets next Sunday.

Kittle hauled in all six of his targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-22 rout of the Cardinals.

Kittle welcomed back starting quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) with literal open arms, getting wide open in the end zone on two separate occasions. The talented duo picked up right where it left off when the teammates last played together back in Week 1, when Kittle hit pay dirt before suffering a hamstring injury that would land the tight end on injured reserve. The 31-year-old Kittle was already coming off of a season-best performance against the Rams in Week 10 (9-84-1), with Sunday's two-score day officially putting the fantasy stud on a hot streak. Kittle will attempt to one-up himself against the Panthers under the bright lights of Monday Night Football in Week 12.

Dulcich secured two of four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid.

Dulcich saw the majority of receiving opportunities at the tight end position go his way again despite the return of Julian Hill (ankle) from his three-week absence. After Miami's bye in Week 12, Dulcich will figure to reprise a similar role versus the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30 in Week 13, unless Darren Waller (pectoral) manages to come off IR before then. Dulcich has now drawn at least four targets in three consecutive games, a development that's renewed the 25-year-old's fantasy relevance, especially in dynasty formats.

Hill secured his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over Washington in Madrid.

Hill returned to action in Week 11 after having missed Miami's prior three games due to a lingering ankle injury, though he contributed mostly as a blocker while Greg Dulcich (two catches for 18 yards on four targets) handled the majority of pass-catching opportunities at tight end. The Dolphins will go on bye in Week 12, and with Darren Waller (pectoral) still expected to return from IR this season, there are no guarantees Hill will see much in the way of significant receiving opportunities in Week 13 versus the Saints.

Smythe caught one pass for eight yards on three targets in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Smythe recorded his first catch of the season after playing at least 20 snaps in five of his previous seven games. Used primarily as an inline blocker, he's run more than six routes only once all year, keeping him off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest of leagues.

McBride finished with 10 receptions on 11 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the 49ers.

McBride continued his ridiculous hot streak by hitting pay dirt in his fifth straight contest while also recording his second consecutive 100-yard game. The 25-year-old somehow did not finish as the Cardinals' leading receiver, as that honor went to WR Michael Wilson (15-185-0) in a game during which QB Jacoby Brissett set an NFL regular-season record with 47 completed passes in a single game. McBride has been a fantasy beast in 2025, generating 71 receptions, 718 yards and seven touchdowns for managers across 10 starts. The Colorado State product will look to extend his scoring streak to six games against the Jaguars next Sunday.
