Chargers' Hunter Henry: Held to two catches in loss to Denver
Henry caught two of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Henry tormented the Broncos just two weeks ago for six catches and a touchdown, but no such luck on Sunday. The rookie was riding high for a while there, topping 60 yards receiving in four straight games with a three-game touchdown streak. He has fallen off as of late, with just three catches for 30 yards in his last two outings. If you're looking for where his production has gone, look no further than veteran Antonio Gates. After struggling with a hamstring injury earlier this season, Gates has caught nine of 19 targets during Henry's two-game skid, including a touchdown on Sunday.

Jimmy Graham TE | NO
Seahawks' Jimmy Graham: Held in check in return to New Orleans
Graham caught three of five targets for just 34 yards during Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Saints.
Graham entered the week having racked up 357 yards on 23 catches over his last four games, but he was unable to punish his former team as the Seattle passing offense struggled to generate big plays. He generated a long catch of just 15 yards and failed to haul in a pass deep in New Orleans territory that could have changed the outcome of the game. Despite Sunday's sub-par effort, Graham has been a big part of the offense as the season has moved along and he should produce more desirable results in Week 9 against the Bills.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Comes alive against Colts
Kelce led the Chiefs with seven catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets Sunday against the Colts.
Kelce was involved regardless of who was under center, but his touchdown catch actually came from backup Nick Foles after starter Alex Smith exited due to a concussion. Foles is one of the more experienced and accomplished backups in the league, so Kelce shouldn't experience too much of a drop off if Smith is forced to miss time. The 27-year-old tight end hadn't topped 32 yards since Week 3, but is likely to pick up the pace after exceeding 800 receiving yards in both of the past two seasons.

Chargers' Hunter Henry: Suits up Sunday
Henry (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
While fellow TE Antonio Gates remains in the mix, the level of success (six catches for 83 yards and a TD) that Henry enjoyed against the Broncos in Week 6 offers hope that he could still help out fantasy owners Sunday, despite what looks like a tough Week 8 matchup.

MyCole Pruitt TE | PIT
Vikings' MyCole Pruitt: Questionable for Sunday
Pruitt (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bears, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Pruitt was limited in practice all week and he's likely a game-time decision. If able to play he remains unlikely to have much of a role on offense as the No. 3 option at tight end.

Chargers' Hunter Henry: Plans to play, but requires final clearance
Though Henry (concussion) practiced fully both Thursday and Friday, he has yet to receive final clearance in the NFL's concussion protocol, ESPN's Eric D. Williams reports.
The report notes, however, that the tight end -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos -- plans to play this weekend. Either way, those hoping that Henry can suit up and reprise the level of success (six catches for 83 yards and a TD) he enjoyed against the Broncos in Week 6, will want to verify his status in advance of Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff.

Chargers' Hunter Henry: Practices fully, but listed as questionable
Though he practiced fully both Thursday and Friday, Henry (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Despite the questionable tag, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune indicates that the tight end is expected to play Sunday, barring a setback. Still, those inclined to consider Henry against the rugged Denver passing defense in Week 8 lineups will want to confirm his availability in advance of the Chargers' 4:05 ET kickoff.

Dwayne Allen TE | NE
Colts' Dwayne Allen: Ruled out for Sunday
Allen (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Colts writer Kevin Bowen reports.
Allen's injury is considered a week-to-week ordeal, and considering he didn't practice this week, it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. While Allen's situation will continue to be updated going forward, Jack Doyle stands to benefit as long as he remains sidelined.
