Mitchell Evans TE | CAR
Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Returns to game
Evans (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Saints, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
The tight end injured his ankle earlier in the first half, walked off under his own power and briefly went to the locker room. The injury must not have been serious, as it didn't take long for Evans to return to the contest.

Mitchell Evans TE | CAR
Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Questionable to return Sunday
Evans has an ankle injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.
The tight end was able to walk off the field but had to go "straight to the locker room," per Hill. Evans had one target and no catches before leaving the field. He has nine grabs for 90 yards and two scores on the year.

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Busy day in Berlin win
Warren brought in eight of 10 targets for 99 yards in the Colts' 31-25 overtime win against the Falcons in Berlin on Sunday.
The rookie tight end finished as the Colts' leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the overseas clash, and all three totals also served as new career highs for Warren. The Penn State product has been as good as expected over his first nine games, and he'll head into the Week 11 bye with a robust 50-617-3 receiving line on 67 targets after serving as one of Daniel Jones' primary security blankets during the latter's resurgent first half of the season.

Kyle Pitts TE | ATL
Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Just two grabs against Indy
Pitts caught two of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.
The catches and yards were each the second-highest total on the day by a Falcon, as Drake London once again dominated looks from Michael Penix with a 6-104-1 line on eight targets. Pitts has caught multiple passes in every game this season, but he has yet to top 70 receiving yards and has only one touchdown, giving him a decent floor but little ceiling. The tight end will take a 45-420-1 line on 59 targets into a Week 11 meeting with the Panthers.

David Njoku TE | CLE
Browns' David Njoku: Top TE duo available for Browns
Njoku's fellow tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Fannin missed practice Thursday but returned to a limited session Friday before being deemed 'questionable' for Sunday's contest. With his availablity confirmed, the Browns will have their top two tight ends available versus New York, a timeshare that has kept both players on the fantasy radar. In eight games, Fannin leads his team in catches (38) and receiving yards (352) on 51 targets, to go along with two touchdowns, while Njoku has recorded 27 catches for 260 yards (second on the Browns in both categories) on 41 targets, with a pair of TDs in seven contests.

Harrison Bryant TE | HOU
Texans' Harrison Bryant: Good to go Sunday
Bryant (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
The 27-year-old received the questionable tag due to a shoulder injury, but his full practice Friday put him on track to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup. Bryant has just two catches for seven yards this year and should continue to operate as Houston's No. 2 tight end behind starter Dalton Schultz.

Jack Stoll TE | NO
Saints' Jack Stoll: Not cleared to play Week 10
Stoll (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Stoll will miss his first game of the regular season due to a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Packers. The Saints are on a bye Week 11, so he'll have additional time to rest and recover ahead of New Orleans' Week 12 clash against Atlanta on Sunday, Nov. 23. Zaire Mitchell-Paden will serve as the Saints' TE4 behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill due to Stoll's absence.

Jelani Woods TE | NYJ
Jets' Jelani Woods: Inactive for Week 10
Woods (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
Woods was a healthy scratch for the Jets' first seven games of the regular season before making his 2025 debut against the Bengals in Week 8. He's a healthy scratch for Week 10, as the Jets go with three active tight ends in Mason Taylor, Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt.

Julian Hill TE | MIA
Dolphins' Julian Hill: Sidelined by ankle injury
Hill (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Hill is set to miss his third straight game with the ankle injury. He managed to log three limited practices in preparation for the matchup against Buffalo, so he should be nearing a return. With Darren Waller (pectoral) also sidelined, Greg Dulcich should have some opportunity after recording five catches in Week 9.

Durham Smythe TE | CHI
Bears' Durham Smythe: Active Sunday
Smythe (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Smythe has yet to receive a target this season through eight games and his role in Sunday's contest will likely be a limited one as an additional blocker. The bulk of passing attempts to the tight end position will likely be absorbed by starters Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland.
