  • 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.

  • Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI

    Pharaoh Brown: Placed back on practice squad

    The Cardinals reverted Brown to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Brown got his third straight elevation ahead of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay and played seven of Arizona's 61 offensive snaps along with seven snaps on special teams. He didn't get any targets, which was also the case in his first two appearances this season. Since Brown has been elevated the maximum three times, he'll need to be signed to the active roster in order to suit up again with the Cardinals during the regular season.

  • Hayden Rucci TE | DET

    Lions' Hayden Rucci: Claimed by Detroit

    Rucci was claimed off waivers by the Lions on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Rucci was cut loose by the Dolphins on Saturday, but he's quickly found a new home with the Lions. The 24-year-old will provide the team with some much-needed depth at tight end with Sam LaPorta (back) done for the regular season and Brock Wright (neck) potentially set for a prolonged absence. Rucci has failed to garner a target while playing 39 offensive snaps over four contests with Miami this year.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Limited practice Monday

    Zylstra (knee) was a limited participant at practice Monday.

    Zylstra had his 21-day practice window opened Monday after spending the last two months on injured reserve with what previously was labeled an ankle injury, but the Lions' first Week 14 practice report has him tagged with a knee injury. Irrespective of the issue, the tight end is likely a long shot to play in Thursday night's matchup with the Cowboys, but with Brock Wright (neck) potentially set to miss extended time, Zylstra will provide the team with some much-needed depth once activated from IR.

  • Quintin Morris TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Catches one pass

    Morris caught one of two targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 25-3 win against the Titans.

    The 26-year-old played just 12 offensive snaps, but it's notable he was active over Hunter Long, who was inactive despite returning as a full practice participant next week. Morris doesn't have any fantasy viability as a reserve tight end for Jacksonville, especially with Brenton Strange now back from his hip injury.

  • Brock Wright TE | DET

    Lions' Brock Wright: Remains DNP on Monday

    Wright (neck) did not practice Monday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

    Wright missed last Thursday's loss to the Packers, and it sounds like he could miss an extended period of time due to a tracheal injury. With both Sam LaPorta (back) and Wright sidelined against Green Bay, Ross Dwelley played 75 percent of the snaps, while Anthony Firkser was in on 24 percent of the downs. Neither made an impact in the box score, combining for a 2-7-0 line on four targets.

  • Rams' Terrance Ferguson: Third straight game without a catch

    Ferguson failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    Colby Parkinson has taken on the role of top tight end for the Rams in the absence of Tyler Higbee (ankle), and he again led the position group in all statistical categories, while Ferguson and Davis Allen (one target) were held without a catch. Until Ferguson shows consistent usage and more reliable targeting from Matthew Stafford, the second-round rookie remains difficult to trust in fantasy lineups with a divisional showdown in Arizona up next on the docket in Week 14.

  • Davis Allen TE | LAR

    Rams' Davis Allen: One catch in reduced role

    Allen secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.

    In the absence of Tyler Higbee (ankle), Colby Parkinson has been the main beneficiary, and on Sunday he once again led all Rams tight ends in snap count, targets, receptions and yards. Neither Allen nor Terrance Ferguson (two targets) were a factor on offense, and Parkinson looks to retain his role as the team's top tight end while Higbee is on injured reserve. The Cardinals are up next in a divisional showdown in Week 14, and Davis will continue to be touchdown-dependent to be a fantasy contributor.

  • Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Two targets in win

    Arroyo didn't haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.

    Arroyo continues to run behind second-year tight end AJ Barner, as the former recorded a 39 percent snap share in the blowout win. We've seen some flashes from the rookie tight end, but he won't be a dependable fantasy option moving forward barring an injury to Barner.
