Jordan caught three of three targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets in Week 14.

It's damning with faint praise, but Jordan was Houston's leading receiver Sunday. The achievement is a dubious one as it came on a day when Dalton Schultz (hamstring) and Tank Dell (lower leg) were inactive, and Nico Collins (calf) departed early in the first quarter. Those are team's top three targets. The Texans also lost quarterback C.J. Stroud to a concussion in the fourth quarter, blurring his status for Week 15 against Tennessee. Jordan has caught 12 of 15 targets for 159 yards and one touchdown over 10 games this season, but 99 of those yards have come in the last two games.

Otton brought in two of five targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Otton tied multiple teammates for second on the team in receptions, and he was also on the receiving end of an 11-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield with 31 seconds remaining that turned out to be the game-winning score. Otton had been blanked altogether in Week 13 against the Panthers, but Sunday's trip to the end zone, his fourth of the season, helped make up for it to an extent in a critical week of the fantasy season.

Pitts brought in three of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Pitts finished a distant second in receiving yards to Drake London (172) on the afternoon for the Falcons, but the underused tight end did make a big splash with a 36-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter on a nicely thrown ball from Desmond Ridder. Pitts has drawn 14 total targets over the last two games, which has netted a 7-108 line in that span. Pitts' next opportunity to build on the momentum comes in a Week 15 road matchup against the Panthers.

Ferguson finished with five receptions on eight targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Eagles.

Ferguson finished as the Cowboys' leading receiver against a normally stout Philadelphia defense Sunday, bringing his season receiving line up to 51/570/5 through 13 games. The 24-year-old has developed a strong rapport with Dak Prescott as a trusted option in drive-extending moments. The eight targets ties the tight end's highest total since these two division rivals met back in Week 9. Ferguson will look to continue his solid fantasy season against the Bills next Sunday.

Goedert (forearm) brought in all four targets for 30 yards in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Goedert's return from a three-game absence was a relatively quiet one on a night when Jalen Hurts threw for just 197 yards. The talented tight end finished a distant third in receiving yards and targets behind the starting wideout duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but he should have a chance to boost his production back up in a more palatable Week 15 matchup on the road against the Seahawks on Monday night, Dec, 18.

Kelce caught six of 10 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

The tight end led Kansas City in receiving yards, and he nearly produced the winning score on the team's final drive -- Kelce caught a deep pass over the middle from Patrick Mahomes, and before he could be tackled he flipped a lateral to Kadarius Toney, who dashed untouched into the end zone. However, Toney got flagged on the play for lining up in the neutral zone, wiping out the touchdown. Kelce hasn't scored a TD of his own in three straight games but has topped 80 yards in each one, and he sits 104 yards short of his eighth straight 1,000-yard campaign heading into a Week 15 clash with the Patriots.

Knox caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) caught five passes on eight targets on the day, but Knox produces more yardage with his grabs in his first game action since Week 7. Kincaid left the game late in the fourth quarter, and the severity of his injury isn't yet clear, so while Knox had a modest role Sunday in his return from wrist surgery, he could be a bigger factor in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Likely recorded five receptions on seven targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-31 win over the Rams.

Likely started his second game in the absence of Mark Andrews (ankle), and he delivered season-best marks in every statistic. The majority of his production came on a 54-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter, on which he went in motion and was completely lost by the defense as he streaked wide open down the sideline. While Odell Beckham and Zay Flowers will be prioritized in the offense, Likely should keep a consistent role for the rest of the regular season.

Kittle had three receptions on five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks.

Kittle finished with the same number of receptions (three) against Seattle that he had when the divison rivals met in Week 12. Unlike the previous meeting, he was able to hit pay dirt when he shrugged off a pursuing defender attempting to arm tackle the 6-foot-4, 250 pound tight end en route to a 44-yard touchdown. Kittle's strong outing brought him up to 811 receiving yards through 13 games after generating 765 yards in 15 contests last year. With four games left on the schedule, Kittle has a realistic opportunity to record his third 1,000-yard season of his career and first since 2019. He will attempt to inch closer to that milestone in a soft matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Njoku recorded six receptions on eight targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

Joe Flacco took to the air 45 times, and Njoku benefitted by seeing at least eight targets for the sixth time in his last eight games. He delivered a massive performance, racking up a season-high 91 yards thanks to long receptions of 34 and 30 yards -- both of which went for touchdowns. Njoku has settled into a relatively consistent role in the Cleveland offense and should benefit from Joe Flacco remaining under center.
