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.

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.

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.

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.

Hill brought in both of his targets for 25 yards during Monday's 28-15 loss to the Steelers.

Hill tallied his second-highest yardage total of the season despite working behind both Darren Waller (7-66-2) and Greg Dulcich (2-46-0) in terms of receiving at the tight end position. He faces a favorable home matchup on Sunday against the Bengals, the league's worst defense against opposing TEs, but in all likelihood Waller and Dulcich are the only true candidates to translate that opportunity into fantasy production, while Hill stands to continue contributing mostly as a blocker.

Dulcich secured both of his targets for 46 yards during Miami's 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.

Dulcich is solidified as the No. 2 tight end in Miami behind Darren Waller, who had seven catches for 66 yards and two scores on eight targets versus Pittsburgh. Dulcich has surpassed 40 receiving yards in each of his last two appearances and secured all five of his targets in that span, though he did fail to haul in a two-point conversion during Monday's loss. Even while working behind Waller, Dulcich boasts sneaky upside heading into Sunday's home matchup against the Bengals defense, which has been the league's worst against tight ends.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said that Higbee (ankle) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the Seahawks, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

With just one walk-through practice scheduled in advance of that contest, the Rams will delay opening Higbee's 21-day evaluation window. The tight end will miss his fifth straight game as a result, but if he returns to practice next week, he could be activated for the Rams' matchup with the Falcons on Dec. 29. Whenever he returns, Higbee will be part of a messy committee at tight end that also features Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen, all of whom played more than 70 percent of the offensive snaps in a Week 15 win over the Lions.

Smith had two receptions on as many targets for 12 yards while taking his only carry for a 14-yard touchdown in Monday's 28-15 win over Miami.

Smith wasn't much of a receiving threat on Monday, but he stood out in the box score with a rare rushing touchdown. The veteran tight end lined up at running back and took a pitch from quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the house to help put the game away in the fourth quarter. The 29-year-old continues to split time at tight end with Pat Freiermuth (3-45-0 receiving line) and Darnell Washington (3-25-0), both of whom outproduced Smith in the passing game Monday. Smith shouldn't register as more than a deep-league option for Sunday's tilt with the Lions.

Moreau totaled zero targets during Sunday's 20-17 win versus the Panthers.

Moreau did not attract a target for the fourth time in 10 appearances this season. The 28-year-old played 43 percent of offensive snaps behind TE1 Juwan Johnson, as the former has played over 45 percent of offensive snaps just once this year. Moreau is on pace to finish with single-digit receptions for the first time since 2020, and he won't have any fantasy value unless Johnson misses time over the final three regular-season games. New Orleans will next play versus the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Waller secured seven of eight targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday.

The veteran tight end set the pace in receptions and targets on the night for Miami, and he was just a yard behind De'Von Achane for the team lead in receiving yards. Waller also was on the receiving end of both of Tua Tagovailoa's touchdown passes, recording six- and 13-yard scoring grabs in the fourth quarter. Waller has been productive and displayed a knack for the end zone on the rare occasions he's been healthy this season, and he'll head into a highly favorable Week 16 home matchup against the Bengals with a 20-243-6 line on 26 targets across seven games.
