Hill carried the ball four times for 14 yards and caught both his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

Since returning from a rib injury in Week 8, Hill has seen at least six touches in three straight games, compiling 145 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD over that stretch. The versatile "tight end" will likely see modest but consistent volume again in Week 11 against the Browns, and his usage in the red zone makes him a threat to get into the end zone any given week.

Pitts caught four of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

The fourth-year tight end bounced back from a Week 9 game in which he saw only one target, although Pitts' production Sunday was still nothing special. Over the last six games, he's delivered a 26-380-2 line on 34 targets, and he'll try to find another gear in Week 11 on the road against the Broncos.

Kinkaid returned to play two snaps in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-20 win over the Colts before sitting out the remainder of the game due to the knee injury he suffered earlier in the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. "Thought I could go and just didn't feel good enough to run and be able to go out there and protect myself," the tight end, when asked about his brief return to the game.

Kincaid, who finished up the game with two catches on five targets for 24 yards, will likely get his knee checked out during the upcoming week. For the time being, consider the tight end day-to-day in advance of next Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Dawson Knox would step in as the Bills' starting tight end in Week 11 if Kinkaid is unable to play.

Hooper caught three of four targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.

For the third time in the last four games, Hooper caught at least three passes, and this time he turned the volume into a team high in receiving yards on the afternoon, and a season high for himself. The veteran tight end is still behind Hunter Henry on the Patriots' depth chart, but Hooper's 11-119-0 line on 14 targets over the last four games and steady role in the offense might give him some deep-league fantasy appeal in TE premium formats heading into a Week 11 clash with the Rams.

Kittle had three receptions on four targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

Kittle continued his dominant fantasy campaign by scoring his seventh touchdown through eight active games. The star tight end had picked up the slack offensively while the 49ers suffered multiple injuries to key players over the first half of the season. With the team welcoming back star tailback Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) on Sunday, it was a positive sign to see the tight end still posting big fantasy numbers as the offense returns to full strength. Kittle continues to be one of the top options at his position heading into a Week 11 matchup against Seattle.

Kelce secured eight of 12 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Kelce set the pace for the Chiefs in receptions and targets while checking in just a yard short of Kareem Hunt for a tie for the team lead in that category as well. The star tight end also recorded his second touchdown of the season on a two-yard grab late in the first half, and he now boasts a 32-254-2 line on 40 targets in his last three games alone as Kansas City prepares for a Week 11 road showdown against the Bills.

Kincaid is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a knee injury.

After having previously exited the contest, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com relays that Kincaid returned for two snaps in the third quarter, but evidently the tight end hasn't shaken his knee issue. In his absence, Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris are available to handle Buffalo's TE duties.

Kincaid (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the Colts, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Kincaid had been forced out of the contest after sustaining a knee injury, but he's back on the field to bolster the Bills' tight end corps for the rest of the team's Week 10 matchup against Indianapolis.

Conklin (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Though Conklin was deemed a full practice participant by the Jets on Friday, he was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 10 active status confirmed, Conklin should continue to lead a tight-end corps that also includes Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah. In that capacity, Conklin -- who caught one of his two targets for minus-3 yards in a Week 9 win over the Texans -- has compiled a 27/237/2 receiving line on 40 targets through nine contests to date, a rate of production that keeps him on the radar at his position in deeper fantasy formats

Smartt (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Smartt has been limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury, but he hasn't progressed enough to suit up Sunday. His next chance to play will be Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 17. Tucker Fisk was elevated from the Chargers practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he will serve as the No. 3 tight end behind Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst.
