Wright caught three of four targets for 13 yards with two touchdowns during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.

Wright continues to make key plays for Detroit, but he is still not seeing enough volume to be worthy of fantasy consideration. The Notre Dame product will be a touchdown-dependent fantasy play in Week 18 against Green Bay.

Kelce secured seven of 10 targets for 43 yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Kelce's reception total was a team high on the afternoon, but his 43 receiving yards were his fewest since Week 5. The All-Pro tight end's final grab of the day was the clincher for the Chiefs, however, as his six-yard catch with under a minute remaining gave Kansas City a first down that forced Denver to use its last timeout. Kelce should fill his usual role in Week 18 on the road against the Raiders, the team that held him to a season-low 25 yards but also allowed him to rack up four touchdowns in the first meeting between the division rivals this season.

Kmet caught two passes for 27 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Kmet scored in the first quarter, but he was targeted twice the rest of the way in a game during which the Bears consistently struggled to move the chains. He's scored a touchdown in four of his last seven games, and he should continue to be a borderline top-12 tight end next week at home against the Vikings.

Higbee (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Higbee was deemed questionable for the contest after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday, but the Rams' top tight end will give it a go versus the Chargers. Assuming no in-game setbacks, Higbee will look to build off the momentum he's built over his last two outings while working with signal-caller Baker Mayfield en route to hauling in 13 of his 16 targets for 121 yards and three touchdowns in that span.

Tremble (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 17 clash against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Tremble will be available to continue splitting snaps with veteran Ian Thomas at tight end versus Tampa Bay in Sunday's critical divisional battle. The second-year pro heads into the contest with back-to-back two-catch outings, but the position retains only a modest role in Carolina's passing attack.

Wesco (calf) is active Sunday against the Lions.

Wesco will return to the field after missing the team's previous two games. He should operate as the team's No. 2 tight end and mostly as an extra blocker, behind Cole Kmet.

Henry (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

With fellow tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) inactive Sunday, Henry has an opportunity to log added snaps and targets versus Miami. In that context, the 2016 second-rounder -- who has put up a 30/415/2 stat line in 15 games thus far -- is in a position to see enough volume to merit fantasy lineup consideration in Week 17.

Henry (knee) is expected to play Sunday versus the Dolphins, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

Henry departed the Patriots' first drive of a Week 16 matchup with the Bengals with a knee injury and was unable to return. He ended up being limited at all three practices of Week 17 prep, entering the weekend as questionable. Now, Henry appears as if he'll be active Sunday, something that'll be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Higbee (elbow) is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Coach Sean McVay told Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic as much Friday, so despite heading into the weekend as questionable for Week 17 action, Higbee will gut out an elbow injury that emerged Thursday. Higbee is on a bit of a hot streak the last two games, hauling in 13 of 16 targets for 121 yards and three touchdowns while working with new starting quarterback Baker Mayfield.

The Patriots elevated Sokol from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of the Week 17 contest against Miami, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Sokol was previously elevated for the Week 5 win over Detroit, and he played eight offensive snaps in that contest, though he didn't receive any targets or record any stats. Jonnu Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and Hunter Henry (knee) is questionable, so Sokol could be in line for a healthy dose of snaps.
