  • Luke Farrell TE | SF

    49ers' Luke Farrell: Hits pay dirt in loss

    Farrell had two receptions on as many targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.

    Farrell got back in the scoring column after recording the first touchdown of his career against the Saints in Week 2. The blocking tight end had just five receptions for 48 yards in the seven games in between his trips to the end zone. Farrell's minimal role on offense keeps him out of the fantasy conversation in standard formats.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Considered week-to-week

    Kincaid is week-to-week after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Kincaid secured two of three targets for 37 yards before being forced out of Sunday's divisional loss in the third quarter. He appears to be dealing with an injury severe enough to keep him sidelined Week 11 versus the Buccaneers and potentially longer, though the Bills haven't yet provided an estimated timetable for third-year pro's recovery. Kincaid has emerged as one of Josh Allen's clear top targets in the passing game alongside wide receiver Khalil Shakir, and any missed games on his part will thrust Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes into expanded roles at tight end.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Just one catch

    Ferguson secured one of four targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 42-26 victory against the 49ers.

    Despite falling well short of the other Rams' tight ends in terms of playing time on Sunday (22 of 69 snaps on offense), Ferguson was involved often when he was on the field. Matthew Stafford continued targeting the second-round rookie and finally hit paydirt on a long target in the fourth quarter that set up a Kyren Williams touchdown. While Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson continue to have a role on offense, Ferguson seems like the best opportunity for explosive plays out of the quartet. A Seahawks defense that just gave up a 9-127-1 stat line to Trey McBride is up next for Ferguson and the Rams in Week 11.

  • Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Will practice Week 11

    Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Monday that Strange (quadriceps) will have his 21-day practice window opened Week 11, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Strange has missed Jacksonville's last four games while on IR, but he'll get back on the practice field in at least a limited capacity in advance of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. It remains to be seen whether Strange could be a candidate to return to the starting lineup in time to face Los Angeles, however. Once fully cleared, Strange will resume operating as the Jaguars' top tight end, a role that Hunter Long (hip) had filled before an injury forced him to remain sidelined Week 10 versus the Texans.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Makes one catch in Week 10 loss

    Bellinger caught one of two targets for eight yards in a loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    With New York's wideout corps behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton struggling to produce, the Giants went tight-end heavy throughout much of Sunday's matchup. Top TE Theo Johnson was on the field for all but two of New York's offensive snaps, while Bellinger logged a hearty 73 percent snap share. However, whereas Johnson shined with seven catches on eight targets for 75 yards, Bellinger was largely ignored as a pass catcher, recording just one reception for eight yards. Johnson has drawn at least four targets in seven straight contests while Bellinger has reached that target share just twice during that same span, so there's no debate about which of the pair is the preferred option in the Giants' passing game (and in fantasy).

  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: Records third TD of season

    Allen secured both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-26 victory against the 49ers.

    Allen's touchdown drought came to an end after he hadn't scored since the first two games of the season. The four-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford in the second quarter was the first of two scoring tosses to Rams' tight ends, with Colby Parkinson snagging his first touchdown catch of the year late in the fourth quarter. With so many mouths to feed in a crowded tight-end room, Allen will continue to be difficult to trust in lineups even with a divisional contest in Week 11 against a Seahawks squad that just gave up a 9-127-1 line to Trey McBride.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Modest numbers in victory

    Higbee secured all three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 42-26 win against the 49ers.

    If you could stitch together all the tight ends for the Rams into one amalgamation of a tight end, their stat line would be quite respectable. In this week's contest against San Francisco, for example, they would've put up a 10-114-2 line on 14 targets. That line is split into four from week to week, however, making it nearly impossible to rely on any one individual Rams tight end for fantasy purposes. Higbee has seen at least three targets in each of his last five games but hasn't recorded more than 40 yards in any game this season, making him touchdown dependent in order to have a relevant outcome for fantasy. The Seahawks are up next in a divisional showdown Week 11, and they did just allow Trey McBride to put up a 9-127-1 line against them, albeit in a blowout.

  • T.J. Hockenson TE | MIN

    Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Just two receptions in loss

    Hockenson had two receptions for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.

    Hockenson hasn't had much action with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback as he's had just 12 targets in his four games behind center. He's not blocking more with Josh Oliver sidelined (foot) as he went out on a route on 44 of his 58 snaps on offense, so there's some hope for an increase in receptions.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Held to one catch in defeat

    Washington secured his lone target for 15 yards during Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Washington had one of his best performances of the season against the Colts in Week 9, securing four of six targets for 43 yards in the win. However, he was held in check during the Steelers' primetime matchup in Week 10, and he also ranked last among the team's tight ends in playing time, as he was on the field for 48 percent of the offensive snaps. Washington has shown glimpses of production this season, but he remains an unreliable fantasy option as part of a crowded group of tight ends in Pittsburgh.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Tallies 33 receiving yards on SNF

    Freiermuth secured all three of his targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Freiermuth was on the field for 50 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, which ranked second among the team's tight ends. However, he was somewhat involved in the passing game and recorded his second-highest yardage total of the season in the loss. Freiermuth has logged at least three receptions in each of his last four appearances, securing 14 of 17 targets for 184 yards and three touchdowns during that time.
