  • Texans' Harrison Bryant: Minimal work in win

    Bryant was not targeted over four snaps in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15.

    Bryant returned from a four-game absence due to neck and shoulder injuries but served as the No. 3 tight end behind Dalton Schultz (53 snaps) and Cade Stover (41). With the position group at close to full strength, Bryant should settle into a depth role.

  • Cade Stover TE | HOU

    Texans' Cade Stover: Contributes three catches in win

    Stover caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona in Week 15.

    The Texans often rolled with multiple tight ends, and Stover had a season-high 41 snaps alongside starter Dalton Shultz (53 snaps). The position group combined for 12 targets, a team high for the day and a season high. Stover also had one rushing attempt -- another short-yardage situation in the red zone -- but the play was negated by a penalty.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Leads team in targets

    Okonkwo recorded four receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the 49ers.

    Okonkwo served as a reliable target for Cam Ward in the short areas of the field, and he paced the team with his six targets. He managed a few solid gains with his ability to pick up yards after the catch, the longest of which went for 17 yards. While Gunnar Helm is emerging as a key contributor in the Tennessee offense, Okonkwo still has at least four targets in three of his last four games.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Only 12 yards

    Engram recorded one reception on three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

    The absence of Pat Bryant (hamstring) shifted targets in the Denver offense, though Engram remained in a peripheral role. He made his lone catch late in the third quarter, though it helped keep a drive alive that ultimately resulted in a touchdown. While Engram will retain a significant snap count in the Denver offense, he's been held to 15 or fewer receiving yards in four of the team's last six games.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Season high in receiving yards

    Kittle brought in eight of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Titans.

    Kittle set a new single-game high in receiving yards (88) for 2025 on his second-highest reception total (eight) through nine healthy starts. The star tight end has been efficient with his 54 targets, producing a strong 83.3 percent catch rate so far this season. Kittle's season totals may end up suffering due to missed time to injury, but he remains one of the tight top ends in fantasy when he is on the field.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Subpar showing in SNF loss

    Ferguson recorded two catches on four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

    Ferguson was surprisingly uninvolved in the Dallas offense for most of the game, with both of his catches going for short gains in the second quarter. His four targets were his fewest since Week 8, though this was the third time in his last seven games that Ferguson had 16 receiving yards or fewer. Ferguson will draw another tough matchup in Week 16 against the Chargers.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Scoring binge continues

    Parkinson had five receptions on seven targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-34 win over the Lions.

    Parkinson turned in his finest fantasy performance to date after recording a season-high 75 yards while hitting pay dirt twice in the win over Detroit. The 26-year-old has now scored six touchdowns across his last six appearances, placing him firmly on the map as a starting fantasy option for the second half of the season. Fantasy managers should continue riding the hot hand as Parkinson prepares to face his former club in a road matchup against Seattle on Thursday Night Football in Week 16.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Modest numbers in win

    Kincaid secured three of four targets for 34 yards in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Kincaid and fellow tight end Dawson Knox finished with the same number of catches, but the latter was on the receiving end of two Josh Allen touchdown passes. Kincaid has posted a 7-75-1 line on nine targets in two games since returning from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, affording him modest fantasy value heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Browns next Sunday.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Team-high yardage total in win

    Gadsden brought in four of five targets for 61 yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Gadsden led the Chargers in receiving yards and tied for second in targets, also providing the team's second-longest catch of the afternoon (27 yards). Quentin Johnston's absence due to a groin injury may have benefitted the rookie tight end, who finished with his highest reception and receiving yardage totals since Week 9. Gadsden will take a 43-602-2 line on 60 targets into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Tyler Warren TE | IND

    Colts' Tyler Warren: Little production on six targets

    Warren brought in three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Seattle.

    Warren was limited to meager production on six targets in consecutive weeks, highlighting the effect the loss of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) early in Week 14 has had on the Colts' position players. It was a tough ask for 44-year-old Philip Rivers to save the team's passing attack, so Warren's recent drop-off shouldn't come as a huge surprise to fantasy managers. The 23-year-old Warren may have to make his mark on short underneath routes against the 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16.
