Freiermuth recorded three receptions on three targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.

Russell Wilson took to the air only 26 times, leading to limited volume for all of Pittsburgh's pass catchers. Freiermuth made the most of his chances, highlighted by long gains of 21 and 20 yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. He has now found the end zone in three of his last five games and has at least 45 receiving yards in three straight contests after reaching that mark just once in his first 10 matchups.

Kelce caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers.

Kelce became the fastest tight end in NFL history to reach 12,000 career receiving yards, doing so in his 172nd regular-season game. Tony Gonzalez had the previous record at 210 games. Kelce's team-high 45 receiving yards included a nine-yard catch on third-and-7 coming out of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter, which allowed Kansas City to run the clock down to one second before Matthew Wright kicked a game-winning 31-yard field goal. Heading into a Week 15 road game against the Browns, Kelce has 80 catches for 682 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Fant had three receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-18 win over the Cardinals.

Fant has grabbed three catches in consecutive games since returning from a layoff due to a groin injury. The veteran tight end has averaged 22.0 yards in those two contests with no touchdowns scored, resulting in mediocre fantasy production. Rookie tight end AJ Barner remained in the mix with a 13-yard reception Sunday, further cutting into Fant's fantasy value. The 27-year-old is only a deep-league option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Green Bay.

Dissly (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Dissly got hurt on a 15-yard catch on the final play of the first half and didn't rejoin his teammates on the field to begin the second half. He caught both of his targets for 19 yards prior to the injury. More opportunities will be available for Tucker Fisk and Stone Smartt if Dissly is unable to return.

Moreau reeled in both of his two targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 14-11 win against the Giants.

Moreau made one of the standout plays of Sunday's game, catching a pass one-handed and in stride over the middle before running for a 32-yard gain. The 250-pound tight end has already surpassed his season-long production from last year, but he's still logged more than two catches in just two games this season and has not recorded a touchdown since Week 9. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Juwan Johnson recorded four catches on five targets along with an 11-yard touchdown reception Sunday. Moreau and Johnson should continue to split targets as the top two tight ends for the Saints moving forward. Their next game will come versus the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Njoku recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.

Njoku led the Browns in targets and receptions, though he was held to short yardage for much of the game. He broke that trend with a leaping 15-yard touchdown grab midway through the fourth quarter, and he now has three touchdowns across his last two games. Njoku has also emerged as a clear favorite target of Jameis Winston, combining to command 30 targets in that same two-contest span while seeing at least nine opportunities in three of his last four contests.

Sanders failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.

The 2024 fourth-round pick missed the Panthers' Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers after sustaining a neck injury the game prior, and he delivered a lackluster performance in his return Sunday. Sanders was not targeted in the final three quarters of the Week 14 loss after failing to connect with Bryce Young on a deep ball in the first quarter. Despite this, the rookie still leads the Panthers' tight end corps in receiving yards (302) and receptions (29) in 11 appearances this season. He'll likely continue to split offensive snaps with Tommy Tremble in Week 15, when the Cowboys visit Carolina.

Tremble caught one of his two targets for three yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.

Tremble's lone catch in Sunday's loss was a touchdown, as he hauled in a pass from Bryce Young to give the Panthers a 10-7 lead in the second quarter. The Notre Dame product posted a modest yardage total but still led Carolina's tight-end corps in yards and catches. Meanwhile, rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders returned from a neck injury in Week 14 and failed to haul in his only target. Tremble's performances have been inconsistent throughout the season, and he and Sanders will likely continue to split opportunities as the Panthers' top receiving tight ends moving forward.

Kittle had six receptions on as many targets for 151 yards in Sunday's 38-13 win over Chicago.

Kittle played like a man possessed against the Bears after recording just one reception for seven yards the week prior. Weather played a huge role in the road stinker against Buffalo, so Sunday's sunny conditions allowed the star tight end to feast on Chicago's defense. Kittle upped his season line to 56-800-8 in the much-needed win, confirming the tight end's upper-echelon status in fantasy ahead of Thursday's primetime tilt against the Rams.

McBride caught seven of 14 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks

After producing 12 catches in each of his previous two games, including in Week 12 against Seattle, McBride was blanked on three first-half targets. He returned to his productive ways in the second half to finish with the team lead in targets, catches and receiving yards. McBride has secured his second consecutive 80-catch season with 80 receptions for 851 yards heading into a Week 15 home game against the Patriots.
