Parham (wrist) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Cowboys.

Parham, who sprained his right wrist in the Chargers' Week 4 win over the Raiders, was limited this past Thursday in the team's first practice coming off a bye, but the tight end was able to practice fully both Friday and Saturday, before being listed as questionable for Monday night's contest. With his Week 6 availability confirmed, Parham will continue to work alongside fellow TE Gerald Everett, a context that has resulted in Parham catching six passes (on eight targets) for 33 yards and three TDs through four games, while Everett has recorded a 13-107-0 receiving line in that same span.

Las Vegas placed Togiai (undisclosed) on its practice squad injured list Monday.

In a corresponding move, wide receiver DJ Turner was signed to the Raiders' practice team. The nature of Togiai's injury is not clear at this point.

Ogletree had one target but no receptions in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

Ogletree played on just 27 of the offense's 75 snaps. He could get more work this week against Cleveland with Kylen Granson placed in the league's concussion protocol. However, the Colts continue divide the work in the passing game among multiple tight ends, giving them little fantasy value in most formats.

Kincaid remains in the league's concussion protocol Monday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Kincaid was inactive for Sunday night's Week 6 win over the Giants. In Kincaid's absence, Dawson Knox played 75 percent of the snaps, his highest share since Week 1. Quintin Morris got in on 30 percent of the plays and caught the eventual game-winning touchdown. Kincaid has six more days to clear protocol ahead of Buffalo's Week 7 date with the Patriots.

Johnson (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Johnson hasn't played since Week 3. In his Week 6 absence against the Texans, Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau and Jimmy Graham handled tight end duties for New Orleans. Hill turned eight targets into a 7-49-0 line, and Moreau caught all four of his looks for 33 yards. Graham wasn't targeted in the loss.

Thomas caught his lone target for a two-yard gain in Sunday's 24-16 win over Atlanta.

Thomas saw at least three targets in each of his previous four games this year, including 11 the week before in a loss to Chicago. He should see multiple targets Week 7 against the Giants but isn't an especially trustworthy fantasy option even after a solid start to the season.

Parkinson caught three of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.

Parkinson handled 44 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing slightly ahead of both Will Dissly and Noah Fant. The 6-foot-7 tight end has averaged 31.2 offensive snaps per game this season. He has leveraged that usage into nine catches on 14 targets for 103 yards and no touchdowns through five games.

Fant caught his lone target for a nine-yard gain in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.

After producing at least 40 receiving yards in three straight games, Fant logged a season-low 41 percent snap share and finished with just one catch. Both Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson played more than Fant, too. The Seahawks' tight-end room is frustrating and will be inconsistent for fantasy purposes this season as long as the trio remains healthy.

Coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Granson (concussion) has been placed in the NFL's five-step protocol for brain injuries, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Granson demonstrated concussion symptoms after Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Jaguars in which he secured three of four targets for 67 yards. The 2021 fourth-round pick will need to gain full medical clearance before suiting up for another NFL game, so his status will need to be monitored heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Browns.

Smythe failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.

Smythe's involvement in Miami's passing game has sharply declined recently, as he has just one target across his last two appearances. That may, in part, be due to the fact that UDFA tight end Julian Hill has steadily increased his snap share, having logged a season-high 45 percent of offensive snaps Sunday, while Smythe dropped down to 68 percent. Smythe's low fantasy floor means he's likely best left out of lineups looking ahead to a Week 7 road matchup against the Eagles.
