  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Won't practice Wednesday

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Njoku (knee) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Njoku wasn't able to practice prior to being ruled out for Cleveland's loss to the Bears in Week 15, but Stefanski indicated he and the rest of the Browns' injured players are "trending in the right direction" for Sunday's contest against Buffalo, per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. If Njoku manages to gain clearance in time to return to action Week 16, he'll resume operating as the No. 2 tight end behind rookie Harold Fannin.

  • Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Notches sixth reception of 2025

    Calcaterra hauled in his lone target for a four-yard reception while playing 37 of 69 offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.

    Though he saw ample playing time behind top tight end Dallas Goedert in the blowout win, Calcaterra was deployed primarily as a blocker, as he ran just six routes on the afternoon. That's been par for the course for Calcaterra throughout the season; he's logged double-digit snaps in all but one of his 12 appearances but has just six catches for 52 yards on nine targets.

  • Chris Manhertz TE | NYG

    Giants' Chris Manhertz: No looks in Week 15

    Manhertz went without a target while playing four of the Giants' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

    Manhertz has suited up for all 14 of the Giants' games this season but has seen more playing time on special teams than offense in recent weeks. Even on the occasion the reserve tight end takes the field with the offense, he's almost exclusively deployed as a blocker. Manhertz has drawn just one target all season, which came back in Week 3.

  • Raiders' Michael Mayer: Nonfactor against Eagles

    Mayer failed to record a single target in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.

    Mayer was not involved in Raiders' passing attack Sunday, as the tight end was held without a catch for the second time this season. The 24-year-old played just eight of the Raiders' 42 offensive snaps in the blowout loss, while starter Brock Bowers was on the field for 38 snaps. Barring an injury to Bowers, Mayer cannot be trusted for fantasy purposes. Next up for the Raiders is a Week 16 matchup against the Texans.

  • Packers' John FitzPatrick: Three catches against Denver

    FitzPatrick caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

    FitzPatrick finished Week 15 with yet another underwhelming performance despite leading all Packers tight ends in offensive snaps and posting season highs in targets, catches and yards. Teammate Luke Musgrave, however, was the better fantasy option, recording four receptions on six targets for 52 yards. Based on his limited production, FitzPatrick should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Packers get set to visit the Bears in Week 16.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Targeted six times in loss

    Musgrave caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

    Musgrave reached season highs in targets, receptions and yards Sunday, as the 25-year-old tight end was a much bigger part of the Packers' offensive attack against the Broncos. With that said, the veteran played 52 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps while fellow tight end John FitzPatrick had a 70 percent snap share. Even with Musgrave's spike in targets over the past two weeks, he remains difficult to trust for significant fantasy production heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Bears.

  • Colson Yankoff TE | WAS

    Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Doesn't practice to begin week

    Yankoff (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Yankoff hurt his ankle Sunday against the Giants and apparently remains bothered by the issue. He'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity by Thursday to have a chance of suiting up Saturday against Philadelphia. The Commanders are already shorthanded at tight end with Zach Ertz (knee) done for the season, so John Bates and Ben Sinnott are currently the team's only healthy players at the position.

  • Josh Whyle TE | GB

    Packers' Josh Whyle: Listed as DNP Tuesday

    Whyle (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

    Whyle suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Denver, and now he's in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game at Chicago. He'll probably have to return to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday to have any chance of playing in Week 16.

  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Limited to kick off Week 16 prep

    Kmet was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice due to ankle and knee injuries.

    Kmet is tending to a pair of injuries after he played 48 of 66 offensive snaps and finished with two catches for 28 yards on four targets in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He'll have two more practices to prove his health in advance of this Saturday's game against the Packers, but the fact that he's being listed as limited rather than a non-participant on the Bears' initial Week 16 report suggests he's on track to play.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Blanked in box score

    Gray wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss versus the Chargers.

    Gray's 38 percent snap share was one his lowest rates of the season, and he finished the game without a target for just the second time this season as a result. With starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) done for the season and Travis Kelce ahead of him on the depth chart, Gray's fantasy outlook isn't especially appealing heading into the final three weeks of the season. Even if Kelce opts to retire this offseason, the Chiefs won't necessarily view Gray as the heir apparent at the position in 2026.
