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.

Hill rushed twice for two yards and tallied zero targets during Sunday's 20-17 win against the Panthers.

Hill logged exactly two touches for the third week in a row, and he's averaging 4.1 targets per game over 10 appearances this season. The 35-year-old has played sparingly in the Saints' up-and-down offense, and he's totaled just 95 yards from scrimmage this year. Hill's minimal usage won't make him a player worth attention from fantasy owners over the final three games of the regular season. New Orleans will next play versus the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Washington caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in Monday's 28-15 win over Miami.

Washington was able to clear the protocol for head injuries and play Monday after sustaining a concussion Week 14 against the Ravens. The tight end secured multiple passes for the fourth time in five games and the eighth time overall this year. Washington has now caught 26 of 37 targets for 288 yards and a touchdown over 14 contests this season.

Freiermuth caught three of five targets for 45 yards in Monday's 28-15 win over the Dolphins.

Freiermuth was able to reel in three or more passes for the eighth time this season while his five targets and 45 receiving yards were his highest marks since Week 7. The tight end has had limited production this season like many of the Steelers' pass-catchers while splitting time at his position with Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and Connor Heyward. Freiermuth will look to build off of Monday's performance when the team travels to face the Lions in Week 16.

Ricci reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

With Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on injured reserve, Ricci was elevated behind Shane Zylstra and Anthony Firkser. Ricci logged 12 offensive snaps and another 14 on special teams but didn't produce anything in the box score against the Rams during Sunday's loss.

Ferguson secured one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 41-34 win against the Lions.

It was another monster week for starting tight end Colby Parkinson, as he added his fifth and sixth touchdowns in the last six contests against a porous Detroit defense. Ferguson and fellow backup Davis Allen failed to make much of an impact on the box score, although they were on the field for over three-quarters of the Rams' snaps on offense. What started out as a quartet of tight ends that spread their stats out evenly has skewed heavily towards Parkinson in the absence of Tyler Higbee (ankle). Ferguson's next chance for a breakout will be a tall task against divisional-rival Seattle in a Week 16 Thursday night showdown.
