  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: Garners a pair of catches

    Allen secured both of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.

    Despite Allen, Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson all being on the field for nearly identical amounts of time, Parkinson has become the clear top target of the trio during Tyler Higbee's (ankle) absence. Parkinson's six-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter was his fourth touchdown in his last five games, while Allen has managed just eight catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in that same span. It's unlikely to see Allen's numbers significantly spike any time soon, even with a depleted Lions defense up next in Week 15.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Not targeted Week 14

    Morris didn't receive a target during Sunday's 36-19 win against Indianapolis.

    Morris and Hunter Long each played 20 offensive snaps behind starting tight end Brenton Strange. Morris has just two receptions for 25 yards in 10 games this season and is likely to see sporadic playing time the rest of the way, assuming Strange stays healthy.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Logs nine receiving yards in win

    Freiermuth secured two of three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens.

    Freiermuth led the Steelers' tight ends in playing time, taking the field for 60 percent of the team's offensive snaps. However, he had minimal fantasy production for a second consecutive week. The 2021 second-rounder had put together a string of seven consecutive performances with double-digit receiving yards following Pittsburgh's Week 5 bye, but he was held without a target last week against Buffalo before this week's disappointing performance. Darnell Washington exited Sunday's Week 14 matchup due to a concussion, but Freiermuth would still be battling Jonnu Smith for snaps and targets if Washington is forced to miss additional time.

  • Jonnu Smith TE | PIT

    Steelers' Jonnu Smith: No catches in Week 14

    Smith failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's 27-22 win over Baltimore.

    Smith has had limited involvement in the passing game during his first season with the Steelers, but he's been especially unproductive recently, securing just five of 10 targets for 31 yards while rushing twice for seven yards over his last five appearances. It's not yet clear whether Darnell Washington (concussion) will be forced to miss additional time after exiting Sunday's win, but Smith would still be battling Pat Freiermuth for snaps and targets if Washington is sidelined.

  • Cade Stover TE | HOU

    Texans' Cade Stover: Used again as runner

    Stover was not targeted in Sunday's 20-10 win over Kansas City in Week 14.

    Stover's did get a carry on a 4th-and-1 in the red zone, but the play was wiped out by an offside penalty. Houston settled for a field goal instead. It was the fourth time in the last two games that the Texans used Stover as a runner, but unless he gets used at the goal line, that usage won't provide him with any fantasy appeal.

  • Durham Smythe TE | BAL

    Bears' Durham Smythe: Blocking role holds steady

    Smythe caught one pass for two yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Smythe has three receptions this season, all coming over his last four contests and totaling 14 yards. His primary usage as a blocker and third tight-end role keep him as a non-factor in fantasy lineups.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Quiet on five targets

    Andrews recorded one catch on five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.

    Fresh off a three-year extension, Andrews finished third on the team in targets behind Zay Flowers and Isaiah Likely. However, he was unable to turn that into much production and was held under 10 yards for the second time in the last three weeks. Andrews should bounce back thanks to his involvement in the Baltimore offense, though Isaiah Likely has been the more productive tight end on the roster in the last two contests.

  • Isaiah Likely TE | NYG

    Ravens' Isaiah Likely: First touchdown of 2025

    Likely recorded four receptions on six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.

    Likely logged six targets for the second consecutive game, good enough for second on the team behind only Zay Flowers. While he turned in a modest yardage total, Likely caught a key four-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter -- his first score of the season. He also nearly had a second score with just under three minutes in the contest, though the play was overturned after originally being called a touchdown on the field. Likely has had some high-profile mistakes in the last two weeks, but he has also displayed rapport with Lamar Jackson and could be in position to close the season well.

  • Jaguars' Brenton Strange: Only 27 yards in blowout win

    Strange recorded three receptions on six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.

    Strange tied for second on the team with six targets, though he had little to show for it. His longest gain went for 16 yards on a reception late in the first quarter, and he also came up just short of the end zone on the Jaguars' first offensive possession while being targeted inside the 10. Strange has at least four targets in all three of his games since returning from injury, though this was his lowest yardage total in that span.

  • Tyler Warren TE | IND

    Colts' Tyler Warren: Limited to 15 yards

    Warren recorded two receptions on six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for two yards.

    Warren maintained a solid role in the Colts' offense, finishing third on the team with six targets. However, he struggled to get on the same page with Riley Leonard, converting only one of his five targets into a catch, which went for only two yards. While that could change for the better moving forward, Warren's outlook has worsened due to Daniel Jones (Achilles) being out for the rest of the season.
