Supernaw caught his lone target for seven yards Sunday in Detroit.

Supernaw lacks the receiving chops of Delanie Walker, and even lags behind backup Anthony Fasano in that category. He's one-third of the way to matching his receptions total from each of the last two seasons.

James turned five targets into three catches for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Bengals.

James has emerged as Pittsburgh's top receiving tight end with Ladarius Green (ankle) out for at least six weeks to open the season. While quarterback Ben Roethlisberger largely prefers to throw it to his bevy of talented receivers and running backs, he's still willing to look the 2015 fifth-rounder's way in the red zone. On a high-octane offense like Pittsburgh's, there should be enough chances in close to make James a serious scoring threat week in and week out.

Graham (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Los Angeles, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

On Friday, head coach Pete Carroll stated a willingness to put Graham on the field in any situation, which shouldn't imply that he'll take on a full complement of snaps. In Week 1, Graham handled just 17 of 82 snaps (21 percent), but a modest bump is likely in the offing. No matter his usage, Graham could yield a majority of TE snaps to Luke Willson, who earned the start in the season opener.

Derby is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

With Rob Gronkowski and Derby both inactive Sunday, Clay Harbor is on hand to work in tandem with fellow TE Martellus Bennett.

Uzomah will start at tight end for the Bengals in their Week 2 matchup Sunday with the Steelers, Paul Dehner of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

For the second straight week, Uzomah will fill in for the injured Tyler Eifert, who is still tending to an ankle injury. Eifert indicated days earlier that he's making progress, but acknowledged that he's still moving at half speed, so it wouldn't be surprising if Uzomah picked up a couple more starts. In the Week 1 win over the Jets, Uzomah hauled in two of his five targets for 59 yards.

Swaim (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against Washington.

Swaim suited up for a full practice both Thursday and Friday, and although he's presumably healthy, the second-year tight end isn't expected to see a major workload behind veteran Jason Witten. Swaim was targeted just once on 16 offensive snaps in the team's Week 1 matchup.

Head coach Doug Pederson declared Ertz (ribs) will not play in the Eagles' Monday night tilt against the Bears.

Pederson had been noncommittal on Ertz's status throughout the week, but the writing was on the wall. In his absence, Brent Celek projects as the Eagles' primary tight end, but Trey Burton is expected to assume a sizable role as well.

Swaim was listed as questionable for Week 2 due to an ankle injury.

Swaim didn't miss any time due to his unspecified ankle injury, which likely means it isn't very serious. Regardless of if he's held out Sunday, he doesn't have much fantasy value as the Cowboys' backup tight end.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Graham (knee) is ready to play in all situations, Stephen Cohen of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.

A full practice participant for the second straight week, Graham will likely top the 17 snaps he logged Sunday against the Dolphins. However, while he may be ready to play in any game situation, there's no assurance he'll take on a typical starter's snap count. If Graham is once again limited, Luke Willson figures to pick up the slack. Graham doesn't have an injury designation on the final injury report.

Graham (knee) practiced fully throughout the week and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Los Angeles, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

While his availability isn't in any doubt, Graham may have a limited role for a second straight game. He played just 17 of 82 offensive snaps Week 1 against Miami, catching his lone target for an 11-yard gain while predictably taking a backseat to Doug Baldwin in Seattle's aerial attack.
