Hooper recorded five receptions on five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Jaguars.

Hooper maintained a significant role in Tennessee's offense even with the emergence of Chigoziem Okonkwo, finishing tied for second on the team with five receptions. While he didn't find the end zone, Hooper managed explosive gains of 24 and 17 yards to account for the majority of his damage. He now has at least three receptions in each of his last five games, though he had previously failed to top 41 yards in that span.

Okonkwo recorded six receptions on six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Jaguars.

Okonkwo was praised by offensive coordinator Todd Downing leading up to Sunday's matchup, and the rookie tight end delivered. He was relied upon heavily by Ryan Tannehill, finishing third on the team in targets behind Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Robert Woods. Okonkwo made the most of that opportunity, hauling in a 10-yard touchdown and also converting a two-point conversion midway through the fourth quarter. He could see his role slip once Treylon Burks (concussion) can return, but Okonkwo now has at least five targets in three consecutive games.

Dulcich caught three of eight targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to Kansas City.

The rookie tight end struggled to get on the same page with Russell Wilson (concussion) early, but Dulcich made some big catches later in the game as the Broncos tried to claw their way back from a 27-0 deficit. He's has seen eight targets in back-to-back contests as his role in the offense continues to grow, but Wilson's exit in the fourth quarter puts the QB's status for Week 15 in question. Dulcich would be a less appealing fantasy option with Brett Rypien under center against the Cardinals.

Engram recorded 11 receptions on 15 targets for 162 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Titans.

Engram had seen 14 targets combined across his last four games entering Sunday's matchup, but he suddenly became Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. He found the end zone on receptions of 12 and 21 yards to bring his touchdown total on the season to four. Engram also was potent with big plays, tallying four catches of 15 yards or more. He's topped 30 receiving yards in only six of 13 games this season, so despite the standout performance, it's difficult to project a duplicate effort in the near future.

Schultz recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Texans.

Reliant on touchdowns for his fantasy production in recent weeks, Schultz flipped the script in Week 14 by leading the Cowboys in targets, receptions and yards. He turned in a number of big plays, highlighted by 22, 21 and 18 yards to post his best yardage total of the campaign. Even with CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup in the mix, Schultz has seen at least five targets in six of his last seven games.

Kelce caught four of nine targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Broncos.

By his standards it was a quiet performance, but it also represents something close to his floor as Kelce has hauled in at least four passes in every game this season, either topping 50 yards or catching at least one TD (or both) each time. The superstar tight end also passed 1,000 receiving yards on the season Sunday, extending his own NFL tight-end record with his seventh straight campaign at that level. Kelce will look to make a bigger impact in Week 15 against the Texans.

Kittle caught four of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.

Kittle saw some extra usage in rookie Brock Purdy's first career start, but he still finished with less than 30 yards for the fourth time in five games. It has been a rollercoaster ride for the 28-year-old in 2022, but he still owns a respectable 42/500/4 receiving line through 11 starts. While managers may be losing faith in the former fantasy stud, head coach Kyle Shanahan may be forced to draw up more plays for his star tight end down the stretch after Deebo Samuel (ankle) had to be carted off the field Sunday. Kittle will look to get his season back on track against the Seahawks on Thursday.

Andrews recorded two receptions on six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.

The Ravens threw for only 104 yards as third-string quarterback Anthony Brown played the final half of the game. Andrews matched Demarcus Robinson for the team lead in targets, though that ultimately didn't translate to a productive performance. While it wasn't necessarily indicative of his own poor play, Andrews failed to reach 50 receiving yards for only the third time this season.

Smythe (quadriceps/knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Smythe was limited at practice Wednesday through Friday, but he'll give it a go versus Los Angeles. Through 11 games to date, the 27-year-old has recorded just nine catches on 12 targets for 75 yards and a TD, so he's not a high-percentage fantasy lineup option these days, with fellow TE Mike Gesicki also potentially factoring into the Dolphins' Week 14 pass-catching mix.

Uzomah caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to Buffalo.

Uzomah was out-targeted 8-2 by fellow tight end Tyler Conklin. The former's biggest contribution was a fumble recovery after the ball was knocked out of quarterback Mike White's hand.
