  • Messiah Swinson: Gets cut from practice squad

    San Francisco released Swinson from its practice squad Tuesday.

    The 49ers added Swinson to their practice squad when regular starting tight end George Kittle went to their injured reserve list after Week 1, and now that Kittle is back in the fold, Swinson is going back to free agency. He'll have to look for his next opportunity with a new team.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Three catches during MNF

    Wright caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

    Wright was able to match his season high in receptions, finishing tied for second on the team with Jahmyr Gibbs, Kalif Raymond, and fellow tight end Sam LaPorta. Wright has now reeled in eight of nine targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns over seven games this season while operating as the clear No. 2 behind LaPorta at tight end in Detroit's offense.

  • Eric Saubert TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Eric Saubert: No targets once again

    Saubert wasn't targeted in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

    Saubert has been targeted just once through seven games this season. He has consistently played at least 25 percent of the offensive snaps in each game, so he's still a reliable run blocker.

  • Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Reels in four passes

    Arroyo caught four of five passes for 42 yards in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

    Arroyo finished with a 38 percent snap share but out-produced fellow tight end A.J. Barner, who caught just one pass for seven yards. A rookie second-round pick, Arroyo continues to showcase his upside, but his snap count will remain low unless he can overtake Barner as the superior run blocker. In the long run, it's worth holding Arroyo in dynasty formats due to his superb athleticism.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Held to one catch

    Barner caught one pass on three targets for seven yards in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

    There has been little target volume for anyone this season in the Seattle passing game behind lead wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but Barner has served as the top tight end with 18 catches for 212 yards (third on the team) and four touchdowns (tied for first). Barner continues to impress as a blocker and should maintain a high snap count as a result. He needs to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy purposes, though.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Makes most of lone target

    Gray gathered in his only target for 28 yards during Sunday's 31-0 victory versus the Raiders.

    Gray continued a trend that isn't particularly promising from a fantasy standpoint, logging two or fewer targets for the fourth consecutive contest. His 59 percent offensive snap share is around par for the course, but the Chiefs took a 21-0 lead into the halftime locker room and added 10 more points in the third quarter, leading to a run-heavy approach for much of the second half. Even in close games, Gray isn't involved enough in the game plan to warrant a roster spot in the majority of fantasy formats.

  • Ross Dwelley TE | DET

    Lions' Ross Dwelley: Still without target in 2025

    Dwelley went without a target while playing six of the Lions' 68 snaps on offense in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

    Dwelley has now logged single-digit snaps in all but one of his five appearances this season and will continue to see limited playing time at tight end while Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright are both healthy. The 30-year-old has yet to draw a target and will likely be deployed mainly as a blocker on the rare occasions he takes the field.

  • Nate Adkins TE | DEN

    Broncos' Nate Adkins: Two catches in Week 7 win

    Adkins played 26 of the Broncos' 81 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 20 yards on three targets in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.

    Adkins recorded a 16-yard touchdown reception in the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets in London in Week 6, but he's otherwise offered little fantasy utility in his backup role at tight end behind starter Evan Engram. Through five appearances on the season, Adkins has played fewer than half of the Broncos' offensive snaps on each occasion and has produced a 6-48-1 receiving line on nine targets.

  • Cowboys' Brevyn Spann-Ford: No targets in Week 7

    Spann-Ford went without a target while playing 15 of the Cowboys' 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

    Though starting tight end Jake Ferguson went off for seven catches for 29 yards and two touchdowns Sunday, neither Spann-Ford nor fellow backup Luke Schoonmaker saw any involvement in the passing game. Spann-Ford -- who has recorded two catches for five yards on three targets through seven games -- will continue to see limited playing time on offense but should have a regular role on special teams.

  • Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: No targets in Week 7 win

    Schoonmaker went without a target while playing 22 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

    Though quarterback Dak Prescott spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers in Sunday's romp, Schoonmaker didn't get in on the act. The third-year tight end had drawn at least one target in each of Dallas' first six games, accruing a 5-24-0 receiving line over that stretch.
