Coach Matt LaFleur doesn't expect Kraft (knee) to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Per Schneidman, LaFleur was non-committal on Kraft's status for Sunday's game against the Browns, while noting that he doesn't believe the tight end will go on injured reserv. If Kraft is unavailable this weekend, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick would be in line for added Week 3 opportunities, with Ben Sims (who has been a healthy scratch so far this season) also potentially in the mix.

Coach Mike McDaniel expects Waller (hip) to play against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 29, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Per the report, McDaniel noted Friday that Waller was "super close" to playing in Thursday's loss to the Bills, while suggesting that the tight end may have been able to play had the game been Sunday. With his return to game action on the radar, Waller is worthy of roster consideration for those in TE-friendly formats, or who otherwise are looking to bolster their depth at the position.

Hill secured his only target for four yards during Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.

Hill and Tanner Conner (one catch for 13 yards on two targets) have had an opportunity to split tight end reps through the first three weeks of the season with Darren Waller (hip) sidelined, but neither has managed to rack up significant receiving production despite those expanded opportunities. Even if Waller remains sidelined Week 4 versus the Jets, neither Hill nor Conner will warrant significant consideration in fantasy lineups.

Conner secured one of two targets for 13 yards during Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.

Conner continues to handle an increased workload at tight end alongside Julian Hill with Darren Waller (hip) having been sidelined the first three games of the regular season. That hasn't translated into notable fantasy value for either Conner or Hill, however. Conner has just three grabs for 33 yards on six targets across his three appearances this year, and he'll remain off the fantasy radar Week 4 against the Jets even if Waller is again inactive.

Kincaid secured five of six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Kincaid led the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, rounding out his productive performance with a 20-yard outstretched touchdown grab in the first quarter that answered Miami's early score. The athletic tight end has arguably been Buffalo's most consistent game-to-game pass catcher for fantasy purposes through the first three games, as he'll take a 13-151-2 line on 16 targets into a Week 4 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 28.

Parkinson (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The tight end sprained the AC joint in his shoulder during the Rams' Week 1 win over the Texans and then missed the team's Week 2 victory over the Titans. Parkinson did not even suit up for practice last week, so his limited participation this week might be a good sign ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Eagles. The former Seahawk played on 28 offensive snaps in Week 1, catching both of his targets for minus-6 yards.

Bowers (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Though Bowers was listed as questionable in advance of this past Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers, he was able to suit up and log a 77 percent snap share in that contest. With no reported setbacks, it doesn't seem like he's in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Commanders, but the tight end may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 3 injury designation.

Kraft is believed to have only suffered a minor left knee tweak at Thursday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Kraft sustained a left knee injury at practice Thursday but further evaluations didn't reveal a serious issue, a major relief for Green Bay's offense. Fantasy managers will now need to monitor the standout tight end's participation level at Friday's practice closely, however, with his status for Sunday's road game against the Browns potentially uncertain. Through two regular-season games, Kraft leads all Packers pass-catchers in terms of receptions (eight), targets (11), receiving yards (140) and touchdowns (two).

Engram (back) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Engram also missed Wednesday's session, which puts the focus firmly on what -- if anything -- the tight end is able to do Friday at practice. If Engram is limited or out versus the Chargers on Sunday, Adam Trautman would be next in line for added Week 3 opportunities, with Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull also available to mix in.

Dissly (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Dissly has now missed back-to-back practices due to a knee injury and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. If Dissly isn't able to suit up Week 3, Tyler Conklin will be positioned to handle a larger workload at tight end.
