  • Larry Donnell TE | BAL

    Giants' Larry Donnell: Left with neck spasms

    Donnell, who left in the first half Sunday and did not return, is believed to have had a muscle spasm in the shoulder/neck area, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    We'll have more word on his status when we get it. Should Donnell miss any time, Will Tye would see more snaps.

  • Jimmy Graham TE | NO

    Seahawks' Jimmy Graham: Grabs seven passes for 75 yards

    Graham caught 7-of-10 targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win at Dallas.

    Graham could have had a bigger game, but he and Russell Wilson's timing were a little off on a couple of deep shots. The star TE continues to be either completely uninvolved or a beast, with little in between. The lack of consistency might be frustrating to fantasy owners, but his upside cannot be ignored. He and the Seahawks will be on bye next week, before facing the Cardinals at home in Week 10.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Leads Chiefs receivers again

    Kelce (groin) had six catches on eight targets for 49 yards -- all team-highs -- and a touchdown Sunday against the Lions in London.

    The Chiefs don't throw the ball a ton, but when they do, it's usually to either Kelce or wideout Jeremy Maclin. Kelce's touchdown was his first since Week 1, so while he gets a decent number of passes thrown his way for a tight end, his upside isn't quite as high due to the few looks near the end zone (seven red zone targets this season, two inside the 10-yard line). Fantasy owners will have to look for a Kelce replacement in Week 9, as the Chiefs are on bye before a tough Week 10 matchup against the Broncos.

  • Larry Donnell TE | BAL

    Giants' Larry Donnell: Suffers neck injury Sunday

    Donnell is questionable to return to Sunday's game at New Orleans due to a neck injury.

    Before he was carted off the field, Donnell corralled his only target for 22 yards. In his absence, the Giants have just one tight end (Will Tye) on the active roster.

  • Lions' Tim Wright: Inactive Sunday

    Wright is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.

    With Brandon Pettigrew back in action this week to work with fellow tight end Eric Ebron, Wright is the odd man out at the position for the Lions on Sunday.

  • Lions' Brandon Pettigrew: Listed as active for Sunday's game

    Pettigrew (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs in London.

    The return of Pettigrew, who has recorded three catches for 29 yards in two games to date, bolsters the Lions' TE depth, but as long as Eric Ebron is healthy, Pettigrew is not a high-percentage fantasy play.

  • Chase Coffman TE | IND

    Chase Coffman: Released by the Titans

    Coffman was released by the Titans on Saturday, Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.

    Coffman re-signed with the Titans earlier this week after being released by the team last week, but the team decided to remove him from the roster again in order to open up a spot for receiver Rico Richardson.

  • Lions' Brandon Pettigrew: Listed as probable

    Pettigrew (elbow) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs in London.

    After returning to a full practice Thursday, Pettigrew is on track to make his third appearance of the season. With Eric Ebron healthy, Pettigrew will mostly be resigned to a blocking role.

  • Lions' Brandon Pettigrew: Practices in full Thursday

    Pettigrew (elbow) practiced in full Thursday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Pettigrew appears to be building toward his first appearance since Week 5, but his presence behind Eric Ebron on the depth chart doesn't lend itself to a preponderance of targets. In two appearances this season, Pettigrew has managed to corral just three of six passes for 29 yards.

  • Lions' Brandon Pettigrew: Limited in practice Wednesday

    Pettigrew (elbow) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free

    Pettigrew has already missed a combined five games this season due to hamstring and knee concerns, but his upper body is now the issue for the veteran tight end. If he ends his absence at two games Sunday against the Chiefs in London, he's unlikely to be a factor in the passing attack, as the Lions' top pass-catchers are healthy at the moment.
