Otton did not draw a target over 36 snaps during the Buccaneers' 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns on Sunday.

The complete lack of involvement was a shock considering Otton had recorded multiple catches in seven straight games and had made at least one reception in every game except for the Week 1 win over the Cowboys. Otton still led the tight end group in snaps and should have an opportunity to bounce back against the Saints in the Week 13 Monday night divisional clash.

McBride hauled in one of three targets for one yard during Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Chargers.

McBride has paced Cardinals tight ends in snap share (79 percent Sunday) since Zach Ertz suffered a season-ending knee injury early in Week 10, with Maxx Williams (26 percent) and Stephen Anderson (18 percent) well behind the rookie second-round pick. Still, McBride hasn't done much with the increased workload, recording a cumulative 6-22-0 line on eight targets over the last three games. His play count should remain high, but wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown are the top options for Kyler Murray.

Hooper recorded three receptions on four targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

Hooper continued to see consistent involvement in the Tennessee offense and tallied his third straight game with at least four targets. He recorded receptions of 12,10 and eight yards, all three of which came on the team's drive just before halftime. While unremarkable, Hooper has posted four consecutive games with at least 30 receiving yards.

Okonkwo recorded three receptions on five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

Okonkwo saw his most significant involvement in the Titans offense this season in terms of targets. He's been efficient with his opportunity this season, and that remained the case against the Bengals as he tallied receptions of 17 and 12 yards. Okonkwo now has seen multiple targets in five consecutive games after achieving that only once in his first six matchups.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Bellinger (eye) may be able to return to action Week 13 against Washington, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Bellinger has been out since suffering a fractured eye socket Oct. 24 against Jacksonville, though he was not placed on IR. The original timeframe for his return was estimated to be 4-to-6 weeks, and he's coming up on the tail end of that range. Though Bellinger has caught passes the last two weeks, he didn't officially participate in any practices. He'll need to do so this week to have a chance of playing Sunday.

Fant caught all three of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Fant started the season slowly, but he has been decent since Week 5, averaging 3.3 catches for 40.6 yards. Unfortunately, he didn't find the end zone in that stretch and has just one touchdown this season. He'll continue to be a touchdown-dependant fantasy asset for the remainder of the year.

Dissly caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Dissly logged 48 of 65 offensive snaps (74 percent) while Noah Fant trailed closely behind with 40 snaps. Fant finished with three catches for 34 yards. Dissly hasn't scored since Week 4, and he has yet to record more than 45 yards in a game this year.

Granson (illness) inactive for Monday night's game against the Steelers.

With Granson out, look for Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods to handle the bulk of the Colts' tight end snaps Week 12, with Nikola Kalinic in reserve. Granson now will target a potential return to action Week 13 versus the Cowboys.

Engram caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 28-27 win against the Ravens.

Engram played 81 percent of the Jaguars' offensive snaps but was minimally involved in the passing game. The 28-year-old caught 19 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown from Weeks 5 to 8, but he has only five catches for 26 yards across the past three games.

Bates caught three of four targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-13 win over Atlanta.

Bates handled his usual role as Washington's in-line tight end, though it came with more snaps (58 percent) than usual in a run-heavy contest. Logan Thomas still ran most of the routes and got most of the snaps on passing downs, so Bates isn't a great bet to repeat the production Week 13 against the Giants.
