Gesicki finished the 2023 season with 29 catches on 45 targets for 244 yards and two TDs in 17 games.

Gesicki was brought in by the Patriots this past March on a one-year deal to pair with fellow tight end Hunter Henry, essentially replacing Jonnu Smith, who the team had traded to the Falcons. At the time, it seemed as though Gesicki would have a chance to bounce back as a pass-catcher following a subpar 2022 campaign with the Dolphins. However, while working in a time-share that tilted in Henry's favor and as part of a passing attack that struggled to find consistency, Gesicki's fantasy impact was modest. Following a 4-13 effort, the Patriots figure to make plenty of changes this offseason, and it remains to be seen whether the team will look to re-sign Gesicki in the coming months.

Lewis played 33 percent of the snaps but was not targeted in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Lewis, a 39-year old blocking specialist, ended the season catching four passes for 29 yards and a touchdown. With 14 NFL seasons on his resume, he's now an unrestricted free agent.

Tonyan was targeted once but failed to catch a pass in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

The only game that Tonyan posted more than 18 yards in was Week 17 when Cole Kmet exited the contest early with an injury. On the season, Tonyan caught 11 passes for 112 yards on 17 targets. Going into his seventh year in the NFL, the tight end is set to hit unrestricted free agency.

Kincaid finished with seven receptions on eight targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

Kincaid led the Bills in targets and was one of three players to reach 80 receiving yards in the division title-sealing victory. The 2023 first-round pick underwhelmed at various points along his rookie journey, but the tight end finished strong with 11 receptions and 171 of his 673 yards coming in the final two weeks of the regular season. Kincaid's 73 receptions on the season were the fourth-most in NFL history by a rookie tight end, and he finished in the top 10 at his position this year in both catches and receiving yards (673). He will get at least one additional opportunity to make an impact when the Bills host the Steelers in the wild-card round of the playoffs next Sunday.

McBride had three receptions on six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 loss to Seattle.

McBride finished his breakout fantasy campaign on a high note by catching the only touchdown Kyler Murray threw against the Seahawks on Sunday. The second-year tight end saw huge jumps in usage after Week 1 starter Zach Ertz (quadriceps) landed on season-ending IR in Week 7. McBride took advantage of the opportunity and rattled off 69 receptions, 655 yards and all three of his touchdowns over the ensuing 10 games as the No. 1 option. That is a healthy enough snapshot to get an idea of the impact McBride could have in the shallow fantasy tight end pool in 2024.

Conklin caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots. He finishes the season with 61 catches on 87 targets for 621 yards.

Conklin finished with exactly 87 targets for the third consecutive season, and he caught exactly 61 of those passes for the second time in that stretch. After scoring three touchdowns in each of those previous two seasons, Conklin failed to find the end zone in 2023. He'll likely reprise his role atop the tight end depth chart in the final year of his contract with the Jets next season.

Parham recorded five receptions on six targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Chiefs.

Parham had been inactive for the last three games, initially due to a shoulder injury but then as a healthy scratch. However, he had plenty of opportunity with the Chargers' receiving corps beat up -- both Gerald Everett (knee) and Joshua Palmer (knee) left the game -- and he delivered a career-best yardage performance as a result. He accounted for three catches of more than 15 yards and proved to be one of the team's better offensive threats on the day. Parham is under contract in Los Angeles for the 2024 season, but he has a minimal cap hit, so he will likely have to compete for his roster spot.

Moreau gathered in his only target for three yards during Sunday's 48-17 win versus Atlanta.

Moreau caught one pass for the third week in a row, though he totaled his fewest receiving yards of any game in which he caught at least one pass this season. The 26-year-old finishes his first campaign in New Orleans with 21 receptions (on 25 targets) for 193 yards and one touchdown across 15 games.

Johnson gathered in all three targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 48-17 win versus the Falcons.

Johnson led the Saints' tight ends in receiving yards for the third week in a row, and he finished with 15 catches (on 22 targets) for 178 yards and two touchdowns over that span. This marks an encourgaing ending to a rather up-and-down campaign for the 27-year-old tight end. Across 13 games this season, Johnson tallied 37 receptions (on 59 targets) for 368 yards and four touchdowns, marking a slight downtick from his career-best 2022 season.

Mitchell caught his only target for 24 yards during Sunday's 30-20 win over the Vikings.

Mitchell logged more than a quarter of the offensive snaps for a third straight game and has now caught a pass in two in a row. With Sam LaPorta (knee) possibly set to miss time and Brock Wright (hip) having yet to return to practice, Mitchell could be next up as the starting tight end ahead of the wild-card round and a matchup with the Rams, who allowed the second-most touchdowns (eight) and the fourth-most receiving yards (987) to tight ends in 2023. While Mitchell has just 13 catches in 28 games over the past two years, the 2022 fifth-round pick was a versatile athlete at Virginia Tech, where Mitchell averaged 16.1 yards per reception and notched five rushing touchdowns on his seven collegiate carries.
