  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Misses practice

    Kmet (back) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Rookie TE Colston Loveland played 91 percent of Chicago's snaps after Kmet left Sunday's win over New Orleans in the third quarter. Prior to the injury, Kmet and Loveland had been working in a timeshare, with neither seeing many targets on a big day for the Bears' running game. Loveland may be tasked with a three-down role this Sunday in Baltimore if Kmet isn't ready to play.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Dealing with neck injury

    Bellinger (neck) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    It's a new injury for Bellinger, who caught three passes for 88 yards and a TD in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos. His role as the No. 2 tight end has expanded in recent weeks, but Bellinger could lose playing time once WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) is available.

  • Tanner Conner TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Expanded opportunities on tap

    Conner is slated to see expanded routes and targets beginning with Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons due to the Dolphins placing Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Conner and Julian Hill figure to operate as Miami's top two tight ends for at least the next four games as Waller progresses in his recovery, while recent practice-squad signee Greg Dulcich contributes in a depth role. Though neither Conner nor Hill was fantasy relevant during the first three games of the regular season, before Waller made his debut, the Dolphins are now also without wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) for the rest of the year. In deeper fantasy leagues, and especially those that require multiple starting tight ends, Conner and Hill are now worth a flier as waiver pickups in case one emerges as the clear beneficiary of the ample targets now left up for grabs behind top wideout Jaylen Waddle.

  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Climbs up depth chart

    Hill is positioned for an expanded workload beginning Sunday on the road against Atlanta with the Dolphins having placed Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Hill and Tanner Conner will split tight end reps with Greg Dulcich, who was signed from the practice squad Wednesday, for at least the next four games while Waller works his way back to health. During the first three games of the regular season, Hill and Conner operated without Waller, with neither player managing much receiving production, but the Dolphins are now also without Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL), freeing up a significant amount of targets behind top wideout Jaylen Waddle. As a result, Hill, Conner and Dulcich now all possess limited fantasy appeal in deeper fantasy formats, especially those requiring multiple starting tight ends.

  • Chris Myarick TE | MIA

    Chris Myarick: Back with Miami

    The Dolphins signed Myarick to their practice squad Wednesday.

    The 30-year-old from Temple was let go by the Dolphins in late August after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster, but he's since been brought back to the practice squad. Myarick's last in-game action came with the Giants in 2022, when he caught seven of eight targets for 65 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season contests. His signing adds depth to Miami's tight-end corps, with Darren Waller (pectoral) being placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: To be limited Wednesday

    Kincaid (oblique) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Kincaid was inactive for the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Falcons after logging three straight limited practice listings. On the heels of the team's bye, the tight end will remain limited Wednesday as his team prepares for Sunday's game against the Panthers. In his absence versus Atlanta, fellow TE Dawson Knox caught one of his two targets for 19 yards, while Jackson Hawes wasn't targeted.

  • Greg Dulcich TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Greg Dulcich: Joins active roster

    The Dolphins signed Dulcich to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

    Dulcich has spent the entire regular season so far on Miami's practice squad, and he now joins Julian Hill and Tanner Conner on the active roster following the placement of Darren Waller (pectoral) on IR, where he will remain for at least four games. With the Dolphins' passing game already having lost Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) for the season, all of Dulcich, Hill and Conner will be candidates to draw targets, especially in the short areas of the field, beginning Sunday on the road against Atlanta.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Lands on IR

    The Dolphins placed Waller (pectoral) on IR on Wednesday.

    With Waller slated to miss at least four games due to the strained pectoral he sustained during Week 7 action, Julian Hill, Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich are slated to handle Miami's TE duties in the meantime. The soonest Waller can return from IR is Nov. 30, following the Dolphins' Week 12 bye.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Practicing Wednesday

    Njoku (knee) is in line to return to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Njoku seems to have a fair chance at returning to action Sunday on the road against New England, after coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he remains "day-to-day." The veteran tight end is recovering from a knee injury sustained Week 6, and he didn't practice at all prior to being ruled out for Week 7. As such, he might need to resume practicing in full before being cleared to return to the lineup.

  • Will Dissly TE | LAC

    Chargers' Will Dissly: Held catchless against Colts

    Dissly failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.

    Dissly was unable to make an impact in Sunday's high-scoring affair against the Colts, as the veteran tight end played just three of the Chargers' 76 offensive snaps. The 29-year-old has taken a clear backseat to fellow tight end Oronde Gadsden, who finished the game with seven catches for a team-leading 164 yards and a touchdown. Dissly should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited usage in the Chargers' passing attack. Next up for Los Angeles is a Week 8 matchup against the Vikings.
