  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Underwhelms again in Week 9

    Coleman caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.

    The second-year wideout from Florida State has struggled over his last three games, catching eight of 12 targets for just 58 yards despite leading the Bills' wide-receiver room in snaps played (138 snaps) during that span. Even so, Coleman has had a solid season overall, recording 284 yards and two touchdowns on 29 catches. He's likely to remain the Bills' No. 1 wideout and will look to get back on track heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Adam Trautman TE | DEN

    Broncos' Adam Trautman: Targeted twice in win

    Trautman caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

    Trautman played 46 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, ahead of fellow tight ends Evan Engram (32) and Marcedes Lewis (6). The veteran's two grabs were his first receptions since Week 5, as he continues to contribute as more of a blocking specialist in Denver's offense. Despite Engram operating as the preferred pass-catching tight end, it was Trautman who was able to record two receptions while Engram was held without a catch in the contest. Based on his limited usage in the passing game, the 28-year-old Trautman remains extremely difficult to trust for meaningful fantasy production. Next up for the Broncos is a Week 10 matchup against the Raiders.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Cleared to practice

    The Browns designated Tillman (hamstring) for return to practice Monday.

    Now that Tillman has been cleared to practice, the Browns will have 21 days to evaluate him, but if the wideout looks good in workouts this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he'll be activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game at the Jets, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Before landing on IR and missing four games, Tillman had accrued an 11-106-2 line on 20 targets through Cleveland's first four contests.

  • Tucker Kraft TE | GB

    Packers' Tucker Kraft: Out for season with ACL tear

    Kraft is slated to miss the remainder of the season after tests on his right knee confirmed that he suffered an ACL tear during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Coming off a career-best performance in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Steelers in which he registered seven catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets, Kraft's breakthrough third season has now come to a screeching halt. The Packers haven't revealed whether the tight end sustained any additional ligament damage beyond the ACL tear, but more information should be known once he undergoes surgery in the coming days or weeks. With Kraft bound for injured reserve, the Packers are expected to turn to Luke Musgrave as their top pass-catching option at tight end for the remainder of the season, while blocking specialist John FitzPatrick could also be in line for extra snaps.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Status in question for Week 10

    Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Boutte (hamstring) likely won't practice when the Patriots begin Week 10 prep Wednesday, and the wideout's status for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay is uncertain, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    Boutte played just 18 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense and finished with no catches on one target before being forced out of this past Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons due to a hamstring injury. If Boutte is unable to practice in some capacity by Friday, he'll likely be in line to miss his first game of the season. According to Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, Vrabel specifically noted that Kyle Williams -- who played 46 percent of snaps Week 9 -- would get more opportunities if Boutte ends up sitting out against the Buccaneers.

  • Patriots' Austin Hooper: One catch versus Falcons

    Hooper caught his only target for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    As long as the veteran tight end works in a timeshare that favors Hunter Henry, his weekly fantasy upside will be limited. Through nine contests to date, Hooper has recorded a modest 13-174-1 receiving line on 14 targets.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Blanked by Houston

    Engram failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

    Engram was unable to get anything going in Week 9, as he played second fiddle to fellow tight end Adam Trautman against the Texans. The 31-year-old Engram played 51 percent of Denver's offensive snaps Sunday, reaching above a 50 percent snap share for just the second time this season. Even so, it was Trautman who saw the majority of work at tight end, playing 73 percent of snaps and catching both of his targets for 25 yards. The Denver tight end position is seemingly one to avoid for fantasy purposes, as neither Engram nor Trautman are reliable options, and those hoping Engram could have a strong year in head coach Sean Payton's system have likely already moved on. The veteran will remain difficult to trust when the Broncos host the Raiders in Week 10.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Four catches Sunday

    Henry caught four of his six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    Henry logged 51 of 68 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and on the heels of being targeted just once in Week 8, the tight end saw more typical volume Sunday. Overall, Henry has recorded a 29-368-4 receiving line on 43 targets through nine games, a rate of production that keeps him on the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Patriots' Kyle Williams: Sees added snaps Sunday

    Williams failed to haul in his lone target while logging 31 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    Fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte was limited to 18 snaps Sunday due to a hamstring injury that forced his early exit from the contest. As a result, Williams saw added playing time, but he ended up being targeted just once. According to Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, head coach Mike Vrabel noted Monday that Boutte is unlikely to practice to begin Week 10 prep and could be at risk of missing next Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, in which case Williams would stand to benefit from more snaps once again.

  • Hunter Long TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Hunter Long: Does little on three targets

    Long secured one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders.

    The 27-year-old led Jacksonville's tight ends with a 66 percent snap share despite briefly exiting Sunday's contest due to hip and knee injuries. Long is operating as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) still on the mend, but he has just five receptions on nine targets for 41 yards since Strange landed on IR.
