Hodgins played 15 of the Giants' 48 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

Despite playing the third-most snaps among Giants wideouts during Sunday's loss, the 27-year-old wasn't targeted. Hodgins' role on the Giants' offense appears to have diminished over the past three games, as he's caught two of three targets for just eight yards during that span. He's expected to carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.

Bellinger played 22 of the Giants' 48 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

The fourth-year tight end has now gone without a reception in four of the Giants' last five games. In 14 appearances this season, Bellinger has caught 15 of 21 targets for 237 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain a depth option behind Theo Johnson at tight end in the Giants' Week 17 matchup with the Raiders.

Woods failed to corral either of his targets while playing 13 of 66 snaps on offense Sunday in the Jets' 29-6 loss to the Saints.

With Mason Taylor (neck) sitting out a second straight game, Woods once again suited up and provided depth at tight end. He still ranked third among Jets tight ends in snaps and was outproduced by both Jeremy Ruckert (two catches for 14 yards on three targets) and Stone Smartt (five catches for 34 yards on five targets). If Taylor is able to make it back for the Jets' Week 17 game against the Patriots, expect Woods to find himself back on the inactive list.

Bateman failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday night's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.

Bateman missed the previous game with an ankle injury but returned to his clear WR2 role behind Zay Flowers against New England. However, Bateman's two targets were three fewer than DeAndre Hopkins, despite Bateman out-snapping Hopkins 38 to 20. After an impressive 2024 season that saw Bateman post a 45-756-9 receiving line, he's caught more than two passes in a game just once this season with a total of two touchdowns.

Johnson caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

After being a healthy scratch in the Jets' last two contests, Johnson played nine offensive snaps during Sunday's loss. In 11 games this season, the Minnesota product has caught 11 of 17 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Jets' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Patriots.

Gilliam went without a carry or target while playing 11 of the Bills' 50 offensive snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

The 28-year-old fullback has been active for all 15 of the Bills' games this season but has been deployed almost exclusively as a blocker on offense, recording no carries and just one reception for two yards. Gilliam remains a core special-teams player for the Bills and has notched 12 tackles on the team's coverage units this season.

Mitchell rushed nine times for 13 yards in Sunday night's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.

He wasn't targeted in the passing game and mustered a long run of just five yards. Despite Derrick Henry putting the offense on his back with Lamar Jackson (back) getting injured in the second quarter, it was Mitchell who was in the game late in the fourth quarter after New England pulled to within three points at 24-21. Mitchell gained four yards on two carries, and the offense punted after six plays. Baltimore would go on to lose following a Zay Flowers fumble. Mitchell is averaging a robust 6.4 yards per carry on 48 rushing attempts this season but carries minimal standalone fantasy value with Henry healthy.

Hawes caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

The rookie from Georgia Tech logged 32 offensive snaps and played more than Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps), but that was likely a product of Buffalo's run-heavy game script while playing from ahead during Sunday's win. Hawes has now caught 15 of 18 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances this season. He's expected to remain a depth option in the Bills' tight-end corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Knox caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

The 29-year-old logged 34 offensive snaps and played over both Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps) and Jackson Hawes (32 snaps) during Sunday's win. Knox has been an important part of the Bills' passing attack over the last five contests, catching 16 of 21 targets for 185 yards and two touchdowns during that span. He's expected to operate as Buffalo's No. 2 tight end in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Shavers caught one of two targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Shavers recorded the third-most receiving yards on the Bills during Sunday's win and has now played at least 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in four consecutive contests. In 15 appearances this season, the San Diego State product has caught 13 of 20 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain one of Buffalo's top wideouts in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.
