  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Another end zone trip

    Kelce caught four of eight targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Rams.

    The tight end led Kansas City in receiving yards by one over Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Kelce was on the other end of Patrick Mahomes' only TD pass of the afternoon. It's his fifth touchdown in the last three games and his NFL-leading 12th of the season -- that's among all players, not just TEs. Kelce will look to extend his scoring streak to four games in Week 13 against the Bengals.

  • C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI

    Jets' C.J. Uzomah: Limited contributions in win

    Uzomah caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears.

    Uzomah and fellow tight end Tyler Conklin each caught all three of their targets as part of an accurate performance for new Jets quarterback Mike White, who completed 22 of 28 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns. Neither tight end got into the end zone, but Conklin finished with a comfortable lead in receiving yards (50), continuing a season-long trend of Uzomah playing second fiddle in the passing game.

  • Tyler Conklin TE | DET

    Jets' Tyler Conklin: Three catches in Week 12 win

    Conklin caught all three of his targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears.

    Conklin put forth a respectable showing in quarterback Mike White's season debut, highlighted by a 29-yard catch in the third quarter on an accurate delivery from White. The entire Jets passing game looked as good as it has all season with White under center, which bodes well for Conklin's outlook moving forward. The tight end has a revenge game on tap in Week 13 against the Vikings team with which Conklin spent his first four seasons before joining the Jets via free agency this past offseason.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Reverts back to low usage

    Kittle caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 13-0 win over New Orleans.

    Kittle saw his usage dip back down coming off of his best game of the season against the Cardinals last week (4/84/2). He finished fifth in team targets as head coach Kyle Shanahan struggled to get him the ball, a common trend in an overall down 2022 campaign for the star tight end. Fantasy managers are hoping that Kittle will be more involved in the game plan against a high-octane Dolphins team next Sunday.

  • Taysom Hill QB | NO

    Saints' Taysom Hill: Limited production in loss

    Hill rushed six times for 13 yards, caught one pass for seven yards and failed to complete his lone pass attempt in Sunday's 13-0 loss to San Francisco.

    Hill was denied by the 49ers' stout defense anytime the versatile player was called upon. The seven touches were nice from the tight-end eligible fantasy asset, but everyone struggled offensively with the Saints being shut out for the first time since 2002. Hill has the ability to pop off for crooked fantasy totals, but his recent stretch of stinkers really highlights the boom-or-bust nature of his utility. The Swiss army knife will look to get his season back on track in an important matchup against the Buccaneers next Monday.

  • Foster Moreau TE | HOU

    Raiders' Foster Moreau: Hauls in clutch TD in OT win

    Moreau caught three of seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.

    The tight end had trouble converting his opportunities early, but Moreau came through when it counted, hauling in a five-yard toss from Derek Carr in the back of the end zone with just under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to send the game to OT. Moreau has two touchdowns on the season, both coming in the last three games, and with Darren Waller (hamstring) out for at least one more week, he'll head up the depth chart once again in Week 13 against the Chargers.

  • Jordan Akins TE | JAC

    Texans' Jordan Akins: Snaps TD drought

    Akins caught five of five targets for a team-high 61 yards and a 25-yard touchdown catch in Sunday's 30-15 loss to Miami in Week 12. He also had a fumble that turned into a Dolphins defensive touchdown.

    Akins hauled in his first touchdown since Week 3 and had his fifth catch of more than 20 yards. That helped make up for the fumble, which came after a jarring hit by safety Eric Rowe. It's looking like the benching of Brevin Jordan -- at three consecutive weeks and running -- is a permanent decision, so Akins should continue to see the bulk of targets at tight end.

  • Trevon Wesco TE | LV

    Bears' Trevon Wesco: Targeted once in defeat

    Wesco caught a three-yard pass in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    Wesco has two catches on four targets this season, and he isn't a significant part of the Chicago passing attack, making him a player to avoid when setting weekly fantasy lineups.

  • Cole Kmet TE | CHI

    Bears' Cole Kmet: Limited production in loss

    Kmet caught two passes for 27 yards in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

    With Justin Fields (shoulder) sitting out, Trevor Siemian threw six passes to Kmet, leading the team. But with the Bears struggling to move the ball after their first few drives, there was very little production in the passing game to go around. It's unlikely that Kmet reaches his weekly fantasy value until Fields returns to the lineup.

  • Browns' Harrison Bryant: Minimized role in win

    Bryant caught two of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 23-17 overtime victory over the Buccaneers.

    Bryant's workload picked up while David Njoku missed two games and was slowed in his return last week from an ankle injury, but the starting tight end was back in form Sunday. That resulted in fewer snaps and looks for Bryant, who had 10 targets the last two games. With Deshaun Watson due back from his 11-game suspension next week at Houston, Bryant could see an uptick in production going forward.
