  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Held to one catch in Week 11 win

    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.

  • Durham Smythe TE | CHI

    Bears' Durham Smythe: Blocking duties dominate role

    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.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Extends TD streak to five games

    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.

  • Noah Fant TE | CIN

    Bengals' Noah Fant: Catches five passes in loss

    Fant caught five of six targets for 36 yards in the Bengals' 34-12 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Fant's six targets were fourth-most on the team, trailing Ja'Marr Chase (10) , Tee Higgins (eight) and Chase Brown (eight). With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve, Fant has been more of a factor in the passing game since Gesicki went down in Week 6. In the four games since, Fant has secured 14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets. Fant isn't an exciting fantasy target ahead of next Sunday's game against the Patriots.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Four catches in loss

    Helm caught four of five targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Texans.

    Helm was able to match his career high in catches, finishing second on the team in the category behind running back Tyjae Spears (five). The rookie has now registered at least one reception in 10 straight contests to open the year, but he's yet to record more than 36 receiving yards in a game, limiting his overall upside. Helm will look to build off Sunday's performance when the team faces Seattle in Week 12.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Just 41 yards in Week 11 loss

    Gadsden caught two of five targets for 41 yards in the Chargers' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Gadsden had just one catch for 13 yards until late in the fourth quarter when he caught a 28-yard pass from backup quarterback Trey Lance when the game was well out of hand. It was a challenge most of the afternoon for the Los Angeles offense, as Justin Herbert threw for just 81 yards prior to being removed from the blowout loss. After big production in October, Gadsden has cooled off in back-to-back weeks, with just five catches for 54 yards on 11 targets over the past two games. The Chargers have a Week 12 bye before hosting the Raiders at home in Week 13.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Sets franchise record in loss

    Kelce caught nine of 13 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.

    With his 21-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter, the veteran tight end became Kansas City's all-time franchise leader in touchdowns with 84 for his career, passing Priest Holmes. Kelce has produced more than 90 yards with a touchdown in two of the last three games, and on the season he sports a 50-631-4 line on 66 targets through 10 contests, keeping him on pace to deliver his first 1,000-yard campaign since 2022. Kelce will look to keep rolling in Week 12 against the Colts.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Posts 33 yards in victory

    Engram caught four of five targets for 33 yards in the Broncos' 22-19 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Engram has yet to hit 50 yards receiving in a game this season and is playing less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps, as Adam Trautman is coach Sean Payton's preferred blocking tight end on early downs. Through 10 games, Engram has just 32 catches for 260 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. He's not a recommended fantasy starter at tight end down the stretch as the Broncos head into their Week 12 bye.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Catches late TD in win

    Parkinson caught both of his targets for 14 yards and one touchdown in the Rams' 21-19 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

    With Tyler Higbee exiting early with an ankle injury, Parkinson saw an elevated role late in the contest and ended up catching what proved to be the game-winning six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Parkinson has now secured 15 of 17 targets this season for 123 yards and two touchdowns. If Higbee needs to miss Week 12 against the Bucs, Parkinson could once again see more playing time on offense.

  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Paces team in receiving in win

    Kmet caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Kmet dealt with a back issue during the practice week, but it clearly didn't hamper him in Chicago's victory, as the veteran tight end paced the team in catches and receiving yards while finishing tied for second with his five targets. Kmet has just one touchdown on the season and has yet to reach 50 receiving yards in a single contest. He's recorded 16 catches for 192 yards and one score on 28 targets through nine games.
