George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Season high in receiving yards
Kittle brought in eight of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.
Kittle set a new single-game high in receiving yards (88) for 2025 on his second-highest reception total (eight) through nine healthy starts. The star tight end has been efficient with his 54 targets, producing a strong 83.3 percent catch rate so far this season. Kittle's season totals may end up suffering due to missed time to injury, but he remains one of the tight top ends in fantasy when he is on the field.

Jake Ferguson TE | DAL
Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Subpar showing in SNF loss
Ferguson recorded two catches on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.
Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the Dallas offense for most of the game, with both of his catches going for short gains in the second quarter. His four targets were his fewest since Week 8, though this was the third time in his last seven games that Ferguson had 16 receiving yards or fewer. Ferguson will draw another tough matchup in Week 16 against the Chargers.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: Scoring binge continues
Parkinson had five receptions on seven targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.
Parkinson turned in his finest fantasy performance to date after recording a season-high 75 yards while hitting pay dirt twice in the win over Detroit. The 26-year-old has now scored six touchdowns across his last six appearances, placing him firmly on the map as a starting fantasy option for the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should continue riding the hot hand as Parkinson prepares to face his former club in a road matchup against Seattle on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.

Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Modest numbers in win
Kincaid secured three of four targets for 34 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Kincaid and fellow tight end Dawson Knox finished with the same number of catches, but the latter was on the receiving end of two Josh Allen touchdown passes. Kincaid has posted a 7-75-1 line on nine targets in two games since returning from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, affording him modest fantasy value heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Browns next Sunday.

Oronde Gadsden II TE | LAC
Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Team-high yardage total in win
Gadsden brought in four of five targets for 61 yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Gadsden led the Chargers in receiving yards and tied for second in targets, also providing the team's second-longest catch of the afternoon (27 yards). Quentin Johnston's absence due to a groin injury may have benefitted the rookie tight end, who finished with his highest reception and receiving yardage totals since Week 9. Gadsden will take a 43-602-2 line on 60 targets into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys.

Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Little production on six targets
Warren brought in three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Seattle.
Warren was limited to meager production on six targets in consecutive weeks, highlighting the effect the loss of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) early in Week 14 has had on the Colts' position players. It was a tough ask for 44-year-old Philip Rivers to save the team's passing attack, so Warren's recent drop-off shouldn't come as a huge surprise to fantasy managers. The 23-year-old Warren may have to make his mark on short underneath routes against the 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16.

Cole Kmet TE | CHI
Bears' Cole Kmet: Held to two receptions again
Kmet recorded two receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns.
Kmet finished fourth on the team in targets, notably one behind Colston Loveland. Kmet did manage a long reception of 17 yards, and both of his targets came deep in Cleveland territory. While there are some positives to take away from Kmet's performance, he remains a peripheral part of Chicago's offense.
-
Colston Loveland TE | CHI
Bears' Colston Loveland: Four catches in blowout win
Loveland recorded four receptions on five targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns.
Loveland was involved early, picking up four of his five targets by midway through the second quarter. He recorded the majority of his production on catches of 24 and 19 yards, posting his highest yardage total since Week 9 and the second-highest of his rookie campaign. Loveland continues to get more involved in Chicago's offense, commanding at least five targets in four straight contests.
-
Harold Fannin Jr. TE | CLE
Browns' Harold Fannin: Targeted 14 times
Fannin recorded seven receptions on 14 targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 31-1 loss to the Bears. He added one rush for two yards.
Fannin accounted for nearly half of Cleveland's total targets, though his inefficient day reflected that of Shedeur Sanders. He was targeted in all depths of the field, but his deep opportunities were either intercepted or fell incomplete. While his results will likely remain inconsistent, it's clear that Fannin is Sanders' preferred target and that he will remain heavily involved in the offense.

John Bates TE | WAS
Commanders' John Bates: Logs one catch in Week 15 win
Bates caught his lone target for 19 yards during the Commanders' 29-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Bates hauled in a 19-yard pass from Marcus Mariota early in the second quarter, but the fifth-year tight end wasn't targeted again for the rest of the game. Bates was named the starter for Sunday's NFC East clash one week after Zach Ertz sustained a season-ending torn ACL, though the former will likely operate in a timeshare with Ben Sinnott for the rest of 2025. Next up for Bates and the Commanders is a Week 16 home tilt against the Eagles on Saturday.
