  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Leading receiver in Week 15 loss

    Johnson caught three of four targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

    The second-year tight end led the Giants in receiving yards on the day, as he topped 70 yards for the third time in the last five games. Johnson is quietly having a breakout campaign despite the struggles of the rest of the team, putting together a 45-528-5 line on 72 targets through 14 contests. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 16 clash with the Vikings.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Pair of TD catches Sunday

    Goedert brought in six of seven targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Goedert led the way for the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards, touchdown catches and targets on the afternoon, with both his scores coming on shovel passes near the goal line. The veteran tight end has seen his production ebb and flow this season, but he's on an upswing again after posting a 14-148-2 line on 17 targets over his last two games as a Saturday afternoon Week 16 matchup against a vulnerable Commanders defense approaches.

  • Mike Gesicki TE | CIN

    Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Disappointing day in loss to Ravens

    Gesicki had just one catch for 11 yards on three targets in the Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    When Tee Higgins (concussion) missed games last season, Gesicki was frequently a big target for Joe Burrow, but the Ravens locked down on him Sunday. One of Gesicki's targets was a seam ball on fourth down when the Ravens had two defenders on Gesicki, a pass that ended in an incompletion and turnover on downs.

  • Josh Whyle TE | GB

    Packers' Josh Whyle: Won't return vs. Denver

    Whyle (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Whyle has entered the league's concussion protocol after being shaken up in the first quarter of Sunday's game. John FitzPatrick will be the lone backup tight end behind Luke Musgrave the rest of the way.

  • Josh Whyle TE | GB

    Packers' Josh Whyle: Possible concussion

    Whyle is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Whyle was shaken up early in the first quarter when attempting to block Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga. John FitzPatrick should see more offensive snaps for as long as Whyle is out of the game.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Just two grabs in Week 15 win

    Andrews caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.

    The Ravens defense dominated, which didn't leave much for Lamar Jackson and the passing attack to do. Andrews has caught two or fewer passes in three of the last four games, managing just an 8-83-0 line on 17 targets over that stretch, and his struggles have largely been tied to Jackson's own lack of production. The duo may need to re-establish their connection in Week 16 against the Patriots to keep Baltimore's playoff hopes alive.

  • James Mitchell TE | CAR

    Panthers' James Mitchell: Healthy inactive for Week 15

    Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Mitchell has appeared in just four regular-season games and will not be available to play Sunday. Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Mitchell Evans will be the Panthers' three tight ends on the active roster for Week 15.

  • Eric Saubert TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Eric Saubert: Cleared to play Week 15

    Saubert (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Saubert was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the veteran tight end has been cleared to return Sunday from a six-game absence due to a calf injury. With Elijah Arroyo (knee) on injured reserve, Saubert and Nick Kallerup will serve as the backup tight ends behind AJ Barner for Sunday's game.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Making return Sunday

    Zylstra (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Rams.

    Zylstra was hurt in Week 2 against Chicago and subsequently landed on IR. He was activated Saturday and is now officially ready to return to action. With Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) both on injured reserve, there is room for Zylstra to carve out a tangible role in the Lions' tight-end corps.

  • Colson Yankoff TE | WAS

    Commanders' Colson Yankoff: Leaves game with ankle injury

    Yankoff (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Yankoff appeared to sustain the injury early in the second half, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Ben Sinnott should see a slight uptick in offensive snaps for as long as Yankoff is out of the game.
