Kyle Pitts TE | ATL
Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Just two grabs against Indy
Pitts caught two of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.
The catches and yards were each the second-highest total on the day by a Falcon, as Drake London once again dominated looks from Michael Penix with a 6-104-1 line on eight targets. Pitts has caught multiple passes in every game this season, but he has yet to top 70 receiving yards and has only one touchdown, giving him a decent floor but little ceiling. The tight end will take a 45-420-1 line on 59 targets into a Week 11 meeting with the Panthers.

David Njoku TE | CLE
Browns' David Njoku: Top TE duo available for Browns
Njoku's fellow tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Fannin missed practice Thursday but returned to a limited session Friday before being deemed 'questionable' for Sunday's contest. With his availablity confirmed, the Browns will have their top two tight ends available versus New York, a timeshare that has kept both players on the fantasy radar. In eight games, Fannin leads his team in catches (38) and receiving yards (352) on 51 targets, to go along with two touchdowns, while Njoku has recorded 27 catches for 260 yards (second on the Browns in both categories) on 41 targets, with a pair of TDs in seven contests.

Harrison Bryant TE | HOU
Texans' Harrison Bryant: Good to go Sunday
Bryant (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
The 27-year-old received the questionable tag due to a shoulder injury, but his full practice Friday put him on track to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup. Bryant has just two catches for seven yards this year and should continue to operate as Houston's No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.

Jack Stoll TE | CLE
Saints' Jack Stoll: Not cleared to play Week 10
Stoll (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Stoll will miss his first game of the regular season due to a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Packers. The Saints are on a bye Week 11, so he'll have additional time to rest and recover ahead of New Orleans' Week 12 clash against Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 23. Zaire Mitchell-Paden will serve as the Saints' TE4 behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill due to Stoll's absence.

Jelani Woods TE | NYJ
Jets' Jelani Woods: Inactive for Week 10
Woods (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
Woods was a healthy scratch for the Jets' first seven games of the regular season before making his 2025 debut against the Bengals in Week 8. He's a healthy scratch for Week 10, as the Jets go with three active tight ends in Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt.

Julian Hill TE | NE
Dolphins' Julian Hill: Sidelined by ankle injury
Hill (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Hill is set to miss his third straight game with the ankle injury. He managed to log three limited practices in preparation for the matchup against Buffalo, so he should be nearing a return. With Darren Waller (pectoral) also sidelined, Greg Dulcich should have some opportunity after recording five catches in Week 9.
-
Durham Smythe TE | BAL
Bears' Durham Smythe: Active Sunday
Smythe (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Smythe has yet to receive a target this season through eight games and his role in Sunday's contest will likely be a limited one as an additional blocker. The bulk of passing attempts to the tight end position will likely be absorbed by starters Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland.

Harold Fannin Jr. TE | CLE
Browns' Harold Fannin: Active versus Jets
Fannin (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Fannin was added to the Browns' Week 10 injury report after not practicing Thursday, but the tight end returned to a limited session Friday before being listed as 'questionable' for Sunday's contest. With his active status now confirmed, barring any in-game issues Fannin should continue to serve as a key passing target for QB Dillon Gabriel. Through eight games to date, Fannin paces his team in catches (38) and receiving yards (352) on 51 targets, to go along with two TDs, while fellow TE David Njoku has logged 27 catches for 260 yards (second on the Browns in both categories) on 41 targets, with a pair of scores in seven contests.

Will Mallory TE | IND
Colts' Will Mallory: Inactive again for Week 10
Mallory (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons in Berlin.
Mallory has been a regular on the Colts' inactive list, having suited up for just one game all season (Week 5 against the Raiders) and playing five total snaps in that contest. He'll continue to be in street clothes on game days so long as the Colts' top three tight ends -- Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree -- are all available.

Harold Fannin Jr. TE | CLE
Browns' Harold Fannin: Likely to play Week 10
Fannin (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Fannin popped up on the Browns' injury report after failing to practice Thursday due to the hamstring issue, but the rookie tight end was able to get in a limited session Friday. He looks as though he's made enough progress to suit up this weekend, though official word on his status won't arrive until the Browns release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Even though Cleveland didn't move veteran tight end David Njoku prior to Tuesday's trade deadline, Fannin should continue to be a viable weekly starter in most fantasy leagues while he and Njoku regularly share the field together. Through his eight appearances this season, Fannin has produced a 38-352-2 receiving line on 51 targets while adding six yards on three carries.
