Henry (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

After injuring his foot in Week 8 against Miami, Henry played through the limited practice reps last week against the Packers and turned three targets into three grabs for 35 yards. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback, Henry should be fine for Sunday's game against the Lions in Germany.

Fannin (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Fannin dealt with the groin issue in practice last week but ultimately avoided an injury designation ahead of last Sunday's overtime loss to the Saints. In that contest, Fannin caught both of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. He had been silent for much of the game before producing a 39-yard touchdown in the extra frame. The overall TE7 in half-PPR points per game this season, Fannin has 37 catches for 453 yards and four touchdowns on 53 targets through nine appearances.

The Cardinals designated Long (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

The tight end was injured in Week 4 against the Giants but had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday. Elijah Higgins and Teagan Quitoriano have been soaking up the snaps at the position behind Trey McBride in recent weeks.

Kincaid (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through.

Kincaid began last week with a limited session due to a chest issue, but was able to suit up for Monday night's win over the Vikings while seeing the field on 50 percent of the Bills' snaps on offense. In the process, the tight end caught all three of his targets for 28 yards. It's unclear if Kincaid's ankle injury occurred versus Minnesota or is something that occurred Wednesday, but either way added context regarding his status for this weekend's game against the Jets will arrive via Thursday's injury report.

Hockenson (wrist/chest) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

There was no clear sign of trouble Monday night when Hockenson played 83 percent of snaps in a loss to the Bills. A return to practice Thursday would put him on track to face the Packers this Sunday in what could be the first start of Kirk Cousins' second stint with the Vikings. Coach Kevin O'Connell declined to name a Week 10 starter Wednesday, but Cousins' familiarity with the offense seemingly gives him the edge over Carson Wentz (ankle) after Wentz's Monday night meltdown.

Warren may see more targets after the Colts traded wideouts Josh Downs and Keenan Allen on Tuesday, Chris Bumbaca of ColtsWire reports.

The trade deadline went as well as possible for Warren's fantasy value, considering the Colts moved their top wide receivers but avoided an all-out purge. The only problem is that Warren is already averaging 7.6 targets per game (fourth among TEs) and producing just 39.3 receiving yards per game and 7.2 yards per catch. Efficiency has been the issue, not volume, and the Colts will likely lean on their running game after declining to trade RB Jonathan Taylor. Improved play from Warren and QB Daniel Jones would probably matter more than another increase in target share.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn ruled out Yankoff (knee) for Thursday night's games against the Giants, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.

Yankoff did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice after missing Monday with a knee injury. Week 10 will be Washington's first game without the 26-year-old, though the injury is not assumed to be serious. Yankoff has three catches on five targets, for 22 yards through eight games.

Stover was a healthy inactive for Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers.

Week 9 marked the first time all season that Stover sat out, with the Texans opting to keep their other four tight ends (Dalton Schultz, Foster Moreau, Brevin Jordan and Marlin Klein) active ahead of him. Through the Texans' first seven games, Stover had played less than half of the offensive snaps in each contest and recorded three receptions for 17 yards on five targets while rushing three times for five yards.

Moreau didn't log any targets or touches Sunday in a 44-22 win against the Chargers.

For the second straight week, Moreau didn't make a mark in the box score. He did technically draw a target (which he didn't catch), but it was wiped out by an accepted defensive penalty. Moreau hasn't had more than two catches in any game this season and has finished with fewer than 10 yards in every contest since Week 3, so he's not a viable fantasy play in virtually any format right now.

Smith didn't log a target or touch in a 45-27 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Jordan Love threw for a massive 372 yards in the victory, but Smith wasn't targeted on any of the quarterback's 29 passes. That's been par for the course this season -- Smith has drawn one or zero targets in five straight appearances. The veteran tight end has had some productive offensive seasons in his career, but it appears Smith isn't going to be a big part of the Packers' passing-game plans this year.
