Everett caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 24-7 loss to Minnesota.

The rookie tight end was on the field for just 19 of 59 offensive snaps, as Tyler Higbee continues to receive more playing time. As a result, it's difficult to rely on Everett in any seasonal fantasy setting. However, the South Alabama product is definitely still a solid prospect to consider stashing in deep keeper/dynasty leagues.

Higbee caught just one of his five targets for five yards during Sunday's 24-7 loss to Minnesota.

This was another discouraging showing from Higbee. He remains atop the depth chart and played 44 of 59 offensive snaps Sunday, but the fantasy numbers haven't been there. The second-year tight end has just 18 receptions for 214 yards and a score through 10 games. He checks out as a desperation option in the majority of settings.

Swaim (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Swaim didn't play last week against the Falcons after injuring his knee in practice. However, he returned to the fold this week and participated in every practice Wednesday through Friday. His availability for Sunday made rookie Blake Jarwin a healthy scratch.

Kroft is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Denver due to a right hand injury.

The severity of the injury is unknown, but if Kroft is unable to return, he'll finish the day with two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards and one touchdown. The next men up at tight end for the Bengals are C.J. Uzomah and Ryan Hewitt.

Seals-Jones snagged three of five targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-21 loss to Houston.

The rookie out of Texas A&M entered Sunday without a catch to his name. He got his first just before halftime on an 11-yard out for a touchdown. He liked it so much that he reeled in a 28-yard jump ball for a touchdown in the third quarter. Arizona has gotten very little production out of tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Troy Niklas. Seals-Jones may very well be a one-hit wonder, but with so few dependable targets opposite Larry Fitzgerald, expect Arizona to look to find out in the weeks ahead.

Engram corralled just one of six targets for nine yards in Sunday's 12-9 overtime win over the Chiefs.

Engram was the intended target on a pass from running back Shane Vereen that was intercepted at the one-yard line, and he came no closer to extending his touchdown streak to five. The rookie tight end still tied for the team lead in targets despite the down week, so this performance should be viewed as an exception rather than the norm.

Kelce turned a season-high 14 targets into eight catches for 109 yards while throwing an interception on his lone passing attempt in Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Giants.

Kelce saw his three-game touchdown streak come to an end against an opponent that had allowed a touchdown to a tight end in every game this season coming in. The star tight end's owners will still be happy with his performance, however, as he consistently got open against New York's slow linebackers and safeties while topping the 100-yard mark for the fourth time this year. On his interception, Kelce took a lateral from quarterback Alex Smith and uncorked a beatiful deep throw that just missed Demarcus Robinson 46 yards downfield.

Escobar was waived by the Ravens on Saturday.

Escobar was waived in order to make room for Danny Woodhead, who was activated off injured reserve. Escobar only played in two games for the Ravens, but will now get a chance to join another team in need of tight end depth.

Traylor was promoted to the Broncos' 53-man active roster Saturday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

The Broncos surprisingly opted to waive backup tight end A.J. Derby, which created room for Traylor on the roster. He figures to provide depth behind starter Virgil Green going forward.

The Broncos decided to waive Derby (shoulder) on Saturday, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.

The move is somewhat surprising, as Derby led all Broncos tight ends with 19 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns. The team acquired the tight end from the Patriots last season for a 2017 fifth-round pick, but the move never panned out. He will revert to the Broncos' injured reserve if he clears waivers.
