Hill is feared to have suffered a season-ending knee injury during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hill was carted off in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Rams. He will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, but the team is pessimistic regarding what tests on Hill's knee will reveal. Another update on Hill's status will surface after the results of the MRI become known.

Moreau finished with two receptions (on four targets) for six yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

Moreau's stat line was nothing to write home about, but there are positive takeaways for the tight end Sunday. First off, New Orleans' recent bye week allowed the veteran backup to heal up from a shoulder injury sustained in the Saints' prior contest back in Week 11. Moreau's role may increase moving forward after versatile starter Taysom Hill (knee) was carted off late in the fourth quarter of the loss to Los Angeles. Juwan Johnson (5-36-0) could also benefit from any time Hill may be forced to miss, but both could become waiver adds in deeper formats in that scenario.

Johnson caught five of seven targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

Johnson actually finished just one yard shy of Saints leading receiver Taysom Hill (knee) in a contest that did not feature a ton of big passing plays. The backup tight end could be in store for extra work if the knee injury that Hill suffered late in Sunday's loss costs the starter time, but Foster Moreau remains in the mix as well. Either way, Johnson's ceiling is capped in games in which he doesn't hit pay dirt this season, keeping him out of the conversation in standard leagues ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Giants.

Likely had five receptions (on eight targets) for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to Philadelphia.

Likely responded well from his zero-catch outing against the Chargers last week, posting his fourth touchdown reception of the season against the Eagles on Sunday. Starter Mark Andrews produced the finer fantasy line (6-67-1), though Likely still helped managers who stuck with him following the aforementioned dud against Los Angeles. Likely should be a viable fantasy option in deeper formats when the Ravens return from the upcoming bye to face the Giants on Dec. 15.

Andrews corralled six of seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.

Andrews continued his midseason surge with his seventh touchdown over his last eight appearances. Fellow tight end Isaiah Likely (5-38-1) also hit pay dirt, as the two teammates continue to establish themselves as best one-two punch at the position. Andrews will enter the upcoming bye week with 43 receptions, 490 yards and seven scores before returning to face the Giants on Dec. 15.

Freiermuth recorded six receptions on seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.

Freiermuth had been one of the only Steelers to not benefit much statistically from the switch to Russell Wilson in Week 7. That changed in Sunday's win, as he led the team in targets and matched his season high. He took advantage of that opportunity with a long 25-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter and a 17-yard reception to help set up a field goal just before halftime. Even with the strong performance, Freiermuth topped 50 yards for just the fourth time in 12 games for the season.

Interim coach Darren Rizzi didn't have an update on Hill's (knee) status after Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams but revealed that Hill will go for additional testing on the injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Hill's knee injury looked severe, and he needed a cart to get off the field, but the exact nature of his injury will be clarified after the results of his additional testing become known. The versatile offensive player has been a key contributor as both a pass catcher and a runner in recent weeks, so it would be a big loss if Hill is unable to suit up against the Giants in Week 14.

Goedert is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a knee injury, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Goedert caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown before getting hurt in the second half. His 17-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter accounted for Philadelphia's first points. Grant Calcaterra operated as Philadelphia's top tight end when Goedert missed three games due to a hamstring injury earlier this season.

Hill suffered a left knee injury during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

Hill took a helmet to his knee from Rams pass rusher Jared Verse in the middle of the fourth quarter and required a cart to get off the field. The severity of the injury isn't known, but Hill will finish Week 13 with five carries for 10 yards and five catches (on seven targets) for 37 yards.

Hill was carted off the field due to a leg injury during Sunday's game versus the Rams, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Hill took a helmet to his left knee and remained on the turf afterward. The nature of the injury isn't known, but he likely will end Week 13 action with five carries for 10 yards and five catches (on seven targets) for 37 yards.
