  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Chargers' Will Dissly: Corrals four targets in loss

    Dissly caught all four of his targets for 47 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.

    Dissly settled back into his usual receiving role after popping off for 80 yards and a touchdown in his last outing. The veteran tight end still produced well enough for those in deeper leagues Monday. Dissly should remain an option in deeper formats when the Chargers visit the Falcons on Sunday.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Gets into end zone Monday

    Andrews brought in all five targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 30-23 win over the Chargers on Monday night. He also rushed once for two yards.

    Andrews finished tied with Zay Flowers for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The veteran tight end was the only one among he and position mate Isaiah Likely to record any catches Monday, and he's now posted multiple receptions in eight straight games after back-to-back blankings in Weeks 3 and 4. Andrews' six-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter served as his sixth score of the season, all which have come in the last seven contests. Andrews should be teed up for another key role during a Week 13 home matchup against the Eagles.

  • Elijah Higgins TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Elijah Higgins: Another two-target outing Sunday

    Higgins gathered in one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.

    On the other side of the Cardinals' Week 11 bye, Higgins extended his streak with exactly two targets to four games, but he brought in only one of them this time around. Working in an offense with TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 line on 15 targets Sunday) doesn't leave much volume behind for his position mates, and WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson and RB James Conner typically are on the receiving end of most of QB Kyler Murray's other passes. Higgins' next chance to produce arrives this coming Sunday at Minnesota.

  • Tyler Mabry TE | CAR

    Tyler Mabry: Back to practice squad

    Mabry reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    The tight end was elevated to the active roster for Week 12 with Noah Fant (groin) and Brady Russell (foot) both out. Mabry was still third on the depth chart behind AJ Barner and Pharaoh Brown, and he only played on three of 64 offensive snaps, recording no stats.

  • C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI

    C.J. Uzomah: Returns to practice squad

    Uzomah reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.

    Uzomah was elevated for the second week in a row to serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra. In Philadelphia's 37-20 win over the Rams, he played on 16 of 73 offensive snaps and did not record a stat. The former Bengal and Jet, who signed with the Eagles in October, has yet to see a target on 19 offensive snaps through two games this season.

  • Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI

    Seahawks' Pharaoh Brown: Two catches in win

    Brown caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.

    Brown served as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner because Noah Fant (groin) was inactive. This was Brown's best game of the season, but with Fant seemingly on track for Week 13 versus the Jets, Brown will have little fantasy value going forward.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Three short catches in win

    Barner caught three of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.

    Barner served as the Seahawks' top tight end with Noah Fant (knee) inactive. Through three games as the starter, Barner generated just nine receptions for 61 yards. Fant has a good chance to return in Week 13 versus the Jets, which would revert Barner to a No. 2 tight end role where he previously hovered around a 40 percent snap share.

  • Princeton Fant TE | DAL

    Princeton Fant: Returns to practice squad

    Fant reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday.

    The tight end was elevated for the second game in a row, but unlike last week, he did not see an offensive snap in Dallas' win over Washington. Fant played on 25 special-teams snaps and downed a punt in the fourth quarter. He remained behind Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford on the tight-end depth chart with Jake Ferguson (concussion) still out.

  • Jack Westover: Reverts to practice squad

    Westover reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Westover served as the Patriots' No. 4 tight end during Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Dolphins. He logged 14 snaps (one on offense, 13 on special teams) in that contest and did not record a stat.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Still in concussion protocol

    Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Ferguson remains in the concussion protocol, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Ferguson made an early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Texans due to a concussion, which resulted in inactive status Sunday at Washington. On Monday, executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan that Ferguson is "a little more of a long shot" to play Thursday against the Giants, which was corroborated by his continued listing of DNP on Monday's practice estimate. Assuming Ferguson ends up missing a second game in a row later this week, Luke Schoonmaker (3-55-1 line on four targets, 65 percent snap share Sunday) and Brevyn Spann-Ford (2-24-0 on two targets, 50 percent) will continue to man tight end for Dallas.
