  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Remains listed as limited

    Coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (hamstring/knee) will be limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    That will mark the third straight limited listing for Kincaid, who last saw game action in Week 10. The tight end thus has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Bills assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. During Kincaid's absence, Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes have been handling Buffalo's TE duties.

  • Jackson Hawes TE | BUF

    Bills' Jackson Hawes: Targeted once in win

    Hawes caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.

    Hawes played 52 of the Bills 74 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season and just one fewer snap than fellow tight end Dawson Knox. With teammate Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined, the 24-year-old Hawes continues to see an uptick in usage in the Bills passing game, but it has not yet led to any major production. Based on his limited target share, the rookie remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Downgrades to DNP on Tuesday

    Zylstra (knee) did not participate at practice Tuesday.

    It's a somewhat concerning sign for Zylstra, who Detroit just designated for return to practice from its injured reserve list Monday. It's looking increasingly unlikely he'll be able to suit up Thursday versus the Cowboys.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Idle for another practice

    Wright (neck) didn't practice Tuesday.

    Detroit has listed Wright as a non-participant on its first two Week 14 practice reports, a development that comes as little surprise after head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that the tight end was dealing with an injury to his trachea that could result in a long-term absence, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. For now, the Lions are evaluating Wright's status on a game-by-game basis, and at this point, he seems likely to miss Thursday's game against the Cowboys. Ross Dwelley, who caught one of three targets for three yards in Week 13, would likely step up as the Lions' top pass-catching option at tight end.

  • Patriots' Austin Hooper: Held without a catch Monday

    Hooper was on the field for 25 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Monday's 33-15 win over the Giants, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

    In the process, Hooper, who caught three of his four targets for 39 yards the Patriots' Week 12 win over the Bengals, did not record a target in the contest, while fellow TE Hunter Henry (49 snaps) brought in four of six targets for 73 yards. Hooper heads into his team's bye week with a 16/213/1 receiving line on 19 targets in 12 games, a rate of production that limits his fantasy viability to the deepest of formats.

  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Unable to secure only target

    Hill could not secure his only target during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Hill's 56 percent snap share was the highest of any of Miami's tight ends, but he mostly contributed as a blocker. Darren Waller saw more involvement in the passing game and led Miami with 47 receiving yards on just two catches. Meanwhile, No. 3 tight end Greg Dulcich was also more involved than Hill as a receiver, securing both of his targets for 24 yards. Hill will likely reprise a similar level of involvement in Week 14 versus the Jets.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Matches previous high in targets

    Johnson had three receptions (on eight targets) for 29 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.

    Johnson matched his previous single-game high in targets (eight) set back in Week 10 against the Bears, but the large volume didn't translate into proportional production this time around. The 24-year-old was New York's fourth-leading receiver despite tying Wan'Dale Robinson for the most looks from Jaxson Dart on Monday Night Football. Johnson has still been a pleasant surprise in fantasy this season by generating a 42-456-5 receiving line across 13 games while catching passes from three different quarterbacks. The Penn State product has carved out a significant role on offense and should maintain steady value when the Giants return from the upcoming bye week to host the Commanders in Week 15.

  • Greg Dulcich TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Greg Dulcich: Targeted twice with Waller back

    Dulcich secured both of his targets for 24 yards during Sundays' 21-17 win over the Saints.

    Dulcich saw his workload diminish to 36 percent of offensive snaps with Darren Waller back from IR. He had played around 50 percent of offensive snaps in each of Miami's two games prior to the team's Week 12 bye. Waller played only 46 percent of offensive snaps in his first game back from a pectoral injury, and he could see his involvement ramp up as early as Week 14 against the Jets, to Dulcich's further detriment.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Leads pass catchers in win

    Henry brought in four of six targets for 73 yards in the Patriots' 33-15 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Henry co-led the Patriots in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards and targets on the night. The veteran tight end also tied with running back Rhamondre Stevenson for the longest reception of the night (36 yards), and Henry now has 187 receiving yards and a touchdown on 11 catches over the last two games. Henry has flashed excellent chemistry with Drake Maye throughout the season, and the duo should remain busy in a Week 15 home showdown against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 14 following a Week 14 bye.

  • Keleki Latu TE | BUF

    Keleki Latu: Returns to practice squad

    Latu reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Latu was elevated to the Bills' active roster for Sunday's game against the Steelers due to the absence of Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), though the former played just four of 74 offensive snaps. It was the third time Latu was elevated from the practice squad, which means he would have to be signed to Buffalo's active roster in order to continue to play for the team this season.
