Trautman caught all three of his targets for nine yards in the Saints' 21-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

The rookie matched his season high in receptions, but he was unable to turn them into meaningful yards against Atlanta's porous defense. Trautman isn't a fantasy-relevant option in New Orleans' passing attack.

Henry caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 45-0 loss to the Patriots.

Henry's output was his worst of the season across the board as he was hardly involved despite the fact that his team played from behind for much of the day. This dud came as even more of a surprise considering he had two touchdowns and an average of 48.3 yards per game over his last three. Henry has been a reliable target for most of the season and will look to get back on track next Sunday against a Falcons defense that has been susceptible to opposing tight ends this season.

Dissly recorded four receptions on five targets for 28 yards in Week 13 against the Giants.

Dissly has been limited as a pass-catcher for much of the season and was held catchless in Week 12 against the Eagles. However, he bounced back to post his first performance with more than two catches on the campaign. Dissly worked exclusively in short areas of the field as his longest catch went for only 10 yards, limiting his production. Even with the relatively strong volume, it will be difficult to trust Dissly moving forward as he has to share targets with fellow tight end Jacob Hollister as well as standout wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Engram recorded four receptions on eight targets for 32 yards in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

Engram led the Giants in targets and yards, but he was limited in opportunity given that Colt McCoy attempted only 22 passes. Engram worked exclusively in short areas of the field, as his longest reception went for 11 yards. Although the team still managed to earn a victory, Engram also had a key error as a pass directed his way deep in Seahawks territory bounced off his hands and resulted in a turnover. If Daniel Jones (hamstring) remains out for Week 14 against Arizona, Engram and the rest of the Giants' pass catchers will likely remain unreliable.

Tonyan caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Eagles.

The tight end got into the end zone for a third straight game, hauling in a 25-yard strike from Aaron Rodgers late in the second quarter. Tonyan now has eight TDs this season after scoring only two in 27 games during his first two NFL campaigns, and his odds of extending his scoring streak seem pretty good in Week 14 against a Lions defense that just gave up a touchdown to Bears rookie TE Cole Kmet.

Goedert caught five of seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Packers.

The tight end once again led the Eagles in receiving despite the return of Zach Ertz to the lineup and a mid-game switch at quarterback to Jalen Hurts. The uncertainty at QB makes it tough to trust any member of the Philly offense right now, especially headed into a Week 14 clash with the Saints, but Goedert has seen at least six targets in four straight games, posting a 21-251-2 line during that stretch.

Arnold caught two of three targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-28 loss to the Rams.

Talk about making the most of your opportunities. Arnold didn't see much volume, but a 59-yard TD grab early in the first quarter and a two-yard touchdown late in the fourth bookended the scoring for both teams on the afternoon. Despite the big performance, Arnold hasn't seen more than four targets in a game all season, making him a risky option in Week 14 against a Giants defense that just stifled Russell Wilson and the Seattle passing game in an upset win.

Smythe caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 19-7 win over the Bengals.

Smythe only has had one game all season in which he's exceeded two catches, Week 13 against the Jets. He had just three grabs then. While the Dolphins occasionally scheme Smythe looks in the red zone, those opportunities come too infrequently to make up for his low fantasy floor.

Hockenson caught seven of his nine targets for 84 yards during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Bears.

Hockenson was a vital contributor in crunch time, recording three receptions for 33 yards (on five targets) during the fourth quarter. This isn't the first occasion this season the second-year tight end has delivered in the clutch, as he also recorded a game-tying touchdown Week 7 against the Falcons as time expired in regulation. He's posted 241 receiving yards on 16 receptions over his past three games heading into a matchup with the Packers in Week 14. Though it ultimately came in a losing effort, Eagles tight ends posted seven catches for 97 yards against Green Bay on Sunday.

Firkser recorded five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards in Week 13 against the Browns.

Firkser was already in line for an increased role with Jonnu Smith (knee) sidelined, but game script enhanced his opportunity further. He recorded only one reception in the first half but hauled in four passes for 37 yards during a single garbage-time possession late in the fourth quarter. Given that Firkser was held quiet for the majority of the game, it will be difficult to trust his ability to command targets even if Smith misses additional game action. Adding to that concern is a tough Week 14 matchup against the Ravens.
