Evan Engram TE | DEN
Giants' Evan Engram: Scores touchdown in finale
Engram caught five of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Cowboys.
Engram led the team in catches and receiving yards while tying for second in targets. A large chunk of his production came on a 51-yard catch and run while he also contributed with a six-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. While Engram got off to an inauspicious start to the season, he finished strong by contributing at least 75 receiving yards in each of his last four games. He'll close out the season with 45 catches for 577 yards and three touchdowns in 11 appearances. The 24-year-old could be one of the biggest winners from a fantasy perspective if the team moves on from aging quarterback Eli Manning in the offseason.

Dwayne Allen TE | NE
Patriots' Dwayne Allen: Will play Sunday
Allen (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Allen was limited during Friday's practice due to a minor knee injury, but he'll suit up during the Patriots' regular season finale. Despite logging 37 offensive snaps against the Bills in Week 16, Allen failed to see a single target throughout the contest.

J.P. Holtz TE | NO
Redskins' J.P. Holtz: Rejoins Redskins
Holtz signed a contract with the Redskins on Saturday.
Holtz was with Washington during the preseason but fell victim to roster cutdowns at the start of September. The 25-year-old provides additional depth at tight end with Vernon Davis (concussion) doubtful for Week 17 and Jordan Reed (foot) on injured reserve.

Jimmy Graham TE | NO
Packers' Jimmy Graham: Cleared for Week 17
Graham (knee/thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Graham will close out his disappointing campaign against a Lions defense that yielded his third-highest yardage total (76) of the season back in Week 5. The Packers' injuries at wide receiver theoretically create an opportunity for increased target volume, but Graham has already failed to take advantage of similar situations on a number of occasions this season. Granted, it will be a bit different if the team has to play without Davante Adams (knee), who accounts for 42 percent of the red-zone targets and 28 percent of the overall volume. It's fair to wonder if this will be Graham's last game in a Packers uniform, with the three-year, $30 million contract he signed in March already looking like a clear mistake.

Hunter Henry TE | NE
Chargers' Hunter Henry: Return in playoffs possible
General manager Tom Telesco hasn't ruled out Henry (knee) being available for the wild-card round, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.
Of course, there are scenarios in which the Chargers don't open the postseason until the divisional round, but all of them include themselves winning at Denver and the Raiders pulling off an upset in Kansas City on Sunday. If the likely outcomes happen, the Chargers will be hitting the road in Round 1, and such a trip could include Henry, who resumed practicing Dec. 17 after tearing his right ACL on May 22. According to Telesco, Henry upped the ante this week, taking part in 7-on-7 and team drills. If he does make an appearance in the playoffs, Henry will have to contend with veterans Antonio Gates and Virgil Green for reps, but having the trio available would keep the TE corps fresher.

Ryan Hewitt TE | TEN
Colts' Ryan Hewitt: Clear of foot injury
Hewitt (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Hewitt began the week as a non-participant but was able to practice without limitations come Friday. Starting tight end Eric Ebron (concussion) is questionable, which could leave Hewitt and Mo Alie-Cox to fill in at tight end with a playoff berth on the line Week 17.
-
Dwayne Allen TE | NE
Patriots' Dwayne Allen: Officially considered questionable
Allen (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Allen was added to Friday's injury report with a knee injury, and was a limited participant in practice. If the veteran tight end is able to suit up Week 17, he could receive a slight uptick in snaps with Jacob Hollister (hamstring) ruled out.
-
Jacob Hollister TE | CAR
Patriots' Jacob Hollister: Won't play Week 17
Hollister (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Hollister will now miss his seventh game of the season due to injury. Dwayne Allen (knee) could see a slight uptick in snaps in Hollister's absence.

Ricky Seals-Jones TE | IND
Cardinals' Ricky Seals-Jones: Won't play in Seattle
Seals-Jones (neck) will not play in Sunday's game at Seattle.
Seals-Jones suffered a stinger during last week's 31-9 loss to the Rams, allowing Jermaine Gresham to set a season-high mark with 46 snaps, though the 30-year-old didn't draw any targets. Seals-Jones finishes his second pro season with a 34-343-1 receiving line on 69 targets, unable to live up to the potential he flashed at the end of his rookie campaign. He does offer some 2019 breakout appeal if the Cardinals can upgrade their offensive line and coaching staff.

Ricky Seals-Jones TE | IND
Cardinals' Ricky Seals-Jones: Still not practicing Thursday
Seals-Jones (shoulder) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Seals-Jones remains away from the field to allow his stinger to heal rather than put undue stress on the region. With nothing to play for aside from draft positioning, the Cardinals may not press their luck with the second-year tight end Sunday in Seattle, which would give veterans Jermaine Gresham and John Phillips plenty of access to offensive snaps.
