Sinnott (shoulder) returned to action in Sunday night's NFC wild-card game against Tampa Bay.

Sinnott suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, but he has now returned to the field to open the second half. He'll continue to operate as the team's No. 3 tight end behind Zach Ertz and John Bates.

Sinnott (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's wild-card game against the Buccaneers.

Sinnott went down with a shoulder injury in the first half, exiting the contest as a result. In his absence, Zach Ertz and John Bates will continue to handle the lion's share of the snaps at tight end.

Goedert caught four of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.

The tight end connected with Jalen Hurts on a 24-yard score late in the third quarter to help put the game out of reach. Goedert has gotten into the end zone in three of his last six games dating back to Week 10, but that stretch was interrupted by an IR stint late in the regular season due to a knee injury. A healthy Goedert should remain one of Hurts' top options in the divisional round.

Kraft recorded five receptions on five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two rushes for 10 yards.

The Packers dealt with a rash of injuries among their pass catchers, and Kraft was able to lead the team in receptions as a result. He was used primarily in short-area situations, which led to a modest yardage total. Despite the mediocre close to his second pro season, Kraft increased his production across the board and clearly wrestled the top spot on the depth chart from Luke Musgrave. He should remain a key contributor to Green Bay's offense in 2025.

Culp (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's wild-card game against the Commanders, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Culp will be inactive for the first time since Week 15 as the Buccaneers attempt to advance to the NFC divisional round. Cade Otton and Payne Durham will operate as the team's two options at tight end versus Washington.

Otton (knee) is listed as active for Sunday night's wild-card round game against the Commanders.

Though Otton was deemed a full practice participant Thursday and Friday, he approached the Buccaneers' postseason opener listed as questionable. In his return from a three-game absence, Otton should reclaim his role as a key pass catcher for QB Baker Mayfield alongside WRs Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan, with fellow TEs Payne Durham and Ko Kieft also on hand to mix in. Prior to sustaining his knee injury, Otton made his mark from a fantasy perspective by recording a 59/600/4 receiving line (on 87 targets) over the course of 14 games.

Stover caught four of four targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers in the wild-card round.

Stover set season highs in catches and yards in the playoff game. He finished with more catches and yards than starter Dalton Schultz (two catches, 23 yards). Stover's playing time could take a hit if Teagan Quitoriano (calf) is activated off injured reserve for next week's divisional-round matchup against Kansas City.

Farrell caught his lone target for four yards Week 18 against the Colts and finished the season with 12 receptions for 67 yards in 17 games.

Farrell once again was minimally involved in the passing game while playing 31 offensive snaps in the season finale. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the offseason, with his four-year run in Jacksonville likely to conclude with him totaling 36 catches for 316 yards and no touchdowns in 66 games.

Freiermuth recorded three receptions on four targets for 15 yards in Saturday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens.

Freiermuth dropped a short pass on Pittsburgh's first play from scrimmage, which set the tone for his production in the game. His longest catch went for only nine yards, leading to a difficult close to the campaign. Even so, Freiermuth put together arguably his most well-rounded regular season as a pro, setting a career high in receptions (65) while matching his career best with seven touchdowns. After signing an extension last offseason, he'll be a key contributor to the Steelers offense in 2025.

Andrews had two receptions on three targets for 27 yards while taking two carries for five yards in Saturday's wild-card round win over the Steelers.

Andrews has recorded short rushing attempts this season as the Ravens emulate the Eagles' "tush push" as made famous by Jalen Hurts during the team's Super Bowl run in 2022. The veteran tight end saw his number called twice Saturday in order to convert two short fourth-and-short attempts. Andrews' final stat line wasn't very appealing from a fantasy perspective, despite his positive impact on the playoff game's result.
