Ertz is not expected to play against the Lions on Thanksgiving, Howard Eskin of FOX 29 reports.

Ertz had turned into the Eagles' primary tight end receiving target in recent weeks after starting the season slow after a pre-season injury. He suffered his concussion midway through the Eagles' loss to Tampa Bay, exiting the game with two catches for 12 yards.

Kelce caught five of seven targets for just 46 yards in Sunday's 33-3 win at San Diego.

Kelce hasn't had big game since Week 1, as the Chiefs like to run the ball and dink and dunk with Alex Smith. Kelce did appear to score a touchdown right before halftime, but the play was reversed via replay. While he's seen at least six targets in nine of 10 games this season, he's only seen more than seven looks three times. He's got the skill set and talent to be a dominant receiving tight end, but mainly because of the team's conservative offense, he's not getting opportunities down the field to make big plays. In any case, he and the Chiefs will host the Bills in Week 12.

Ertz was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bucs with a concussion, philly.com reports.

With the Eagles set to play again on Thanksgiving, Ertz's Week 12 status looks cloudy at this stage, given the short turnaround in play here.

Ertz is under examination for a head injury suffered during Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.

In an attempt to hurdle a Bucs defender, Ertz was upended and landed awkwardly on his neck. While he was able to walk to the locker room under his own power, the Eagles are apt to consider all potential issues to learn the nature of the ailment. For the time being, his return to the field is up in the air.

McGrath was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.

McGrath was waived in order to promote Tyrell Williams off the practice squad, a player who will give San Diego much-needed depth at the wide receiver position.

Supernaw caught both of his targets for 16 yards, and lost a key fumble late in the fourth quarter in Thursday's loss to Jacksonville.

Supernaw got his first receiving action of the season, but he may not get another shot after fumbling in the final minutes with the Titans trailing by a field goal. The depth tight end is significantly outclassed by Delanie Walker and even Anthony Fasano on Tennessee's priority list.

Fauria has joined the Patriots' practice squad, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

The 6-foot-7, 267-pounder displayed some red zone prowess as a rookie with the Lions in 2013, but at this stage, he's merely insurance for the Patriots in the event of an injury to one of the team's currently-rostered tight ends: Rob Gronkowski, Scott Chandler or Michael Williams.

Graham is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bengals.

Graham is the odd man out Monday night, with fellow TE Ryan Griffin having been activated by the Texans for Week 10's contest.

Graham caught three passes for 41 yards on eight targets in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Cardinals.

Graham drew a pass interference penalty and had a 30-yard gain, but he also dropped a couple of passes. He and Doug Baldwin accounted for 18 of Seattle's 24 targets, with no other player getting more than two. Though still a solid option in most formats, Graham now has five games this season with four or fewer catches and fewer than 50 receiving yards. He'll face an easier defense in Week 11, but the Seahawks probably won't need to throw a lot in order to beat the 49ers.

Ertz caught seven of his 10 targets for 68 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

Ertz was the most heavily-targeted Eagle on Sunday, setting season-highs in catches and yardage. The third-year tight end has yet to find the end zone this year, and his modest season totals suggest that he has yet to make the leap many anticipated from him heading into the season. Philadelphia will host the Buccaneers in Week 11, and Ertz should remain a solid, albeit lackluster fantasy option.
