Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF
Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Breakout game in Week 7 loss
Kincaid (concussion) caught all eight of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Patriots.
In his return from a one-game absence, Kincaid led the Bills in catches and receiving yards while finishing four targets behind Stefon Diggs' team-high total. This was easily the best game of the 2023 first-round pick's young career, as Kincaid's previous highs were five catches and 43 yards. Kincaid has 25 catches to Dawson Knox's 15 heading into Thursday's Week 8 game against the Buccaneers, but Knox continues to take priority in the red zone while Kincaid has yet to find the end zone in his young career. Knox had a would-be touchdown erased by a penalty in the first quarter and caught a two-point conversion in the fourth.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Pair of touchdowns against Lions
Andrews recorded four receptions on six targets for 63 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Lions.
Andrews played his part in Baltimore's blowout win, catching touchdowns of eight and 11 yards, while chipping in a long gain of 22 yards. It was his second multi-touchdown performance of the season, and he now has five overall. As expected, Andrews has remained a focal point of the Ravens' offense, as he now has at least four catches in every game and at least 60 yards in each of his last four contests.

David Wells TE | TB
Buccaneers' David Wells: Inactive again
Wells (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
A healthy inactive for the second week in a row, Wells appears to have been surpassed by Payne Durham as Tampa Bay's No. 3 tight end. While playing limited snaps in each of the Buccaneers' first four games, Wells recorded two receptions for minus-10 yards.

James Mitchell TE | CAR
Lions' James Mitchell: Cleared for Week 7
Mitchell (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
Mitchell missed back-to-back games due to a hamstring injury, but he'll return to action versus Baltimore. The second-year tight end has played more special-teams snaps (31) than offensive snaps (25) this season and has yet to record a target.

Hunter Henry TE | NE
Patriots' Hunter Henry: Suits up Sunday
Henry (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Henry, who had his ankle rolled up on during last weekend's loss to the Raiders, missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned to a limited session Friday and approached the contest listed as questionable. With his active status versus Buffalo confirmed, Henry is slated to continue to work in a time share with fellow TE Mike Gesicki, with Pharaoh Brown also mixing in. It's an arrangement that to date has resulted in Henry catching 18 of his 28 targets for 183 yards and two TD in six games, while Gesicki has recorded a 15/144/0 receiving line in that span. Over his last two appearances, Henry -- who scored TDs in each of his first two outings this season -- has combined for just one catch for seven yards on five targets, a trend that makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy option in Week 7.

Harrison Bryant TE | SEA
Browns' Harrison Bryant: Suiting up Sunday
Bryant (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Bryant was never able to put in a full practice this week while managing the hip issue, but the Browns saw enough from him to give him the green light for Sunday. He'll likely continue to share backup tight end duties with Jordan Akins, with both players having logged double-digit snaps on offense behind starter David Njoku in three of the Browns' first five games of the season.

Harrison Bryant TE | SEA
Browns' Harrison Bryant: Likely to play Sunday
Bryant (hip) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Bryant is officially listed as questionable for the contest after he sat out Wednesday's practice due to the hip injury before returning to the field as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. Assuming he's cleared in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Bryant should step back in as the Browns' No. 2 tight end behind starter David Njoku.

Hunter Henry TE | NE
Patriots' Hunter Henry: Expected to play Sunday
Henry (ankle) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Henry missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before turning in a limited session Friday, and he is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game. After a hot start to the season, Henry has recorded just one catch for seven yards on five targets over the last two weeks. With wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) expected to be unavailable versus Buffalo, the Patriots could be forced to rely more upon Henry and fellow tight end Mike Gesicki in the passing game. The Patriots will officially reveal Henry's status when they release their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Greg Dulcich TE | MIA
Broncos' Greg Dulcich: Back on injured reserve
Dulcich (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
This is Dulcich's second stint on injured reserve due to the same hamstring injury sustained during the season opener. Expect Adam Trautman, Chris Manhertz and Nate Adkins to continue working in a committee group at tight end for however long Dulcich is inactive.

Tucker Fisk TE | LAC
Falcons' Tucker Fisk: Elevated Saturday
Fisk was elevated to the Falcons' active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Fisk is expected to make his NFL debut this Sunday after getting elevated from the practice squad. The 24-year-old tight end played his college ball at Stanford and has spent the majority of the last two years on the Falcons' practice squad.
