McBride had five receptions on nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.

McBride was held in check -- by his own lofty standards -- in a matchup against a tough defense Sunday. The 25-year-old still finished with decent receiving numbers and extended his streak of catching at least five passes in every game this season. McBride continues to operate as one of the top fantasy tight ends in football, producing a 93-937-8 receiving line through 13 starts. The Texans present another tough matchup on paper next Sunday, but McBride's talent overrides any potential downgrade for Week 15.

Smartt didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Smartt rarely sees action behind Mason Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert. The former Charger saw his first regular-season target as a member of the Jets in Sunday's loss but failed to corral it.

Ruckert caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Ruckert has registered multiple catches in consecutive games for the first time this season. He remains a distant second on the depth chart behind Mason Taylor, and Ruckert has yet to exceed 28 yards in a game in 2025.

Loveland caught four passes on five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown during the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Loveland didn't see his first target until the final minute of the second quarter, when he hauled in an 11-yard pass from Caleb Williams. Loveland was more active in the second half, and he helped tie things up at 21-21 with a one-yard touchdown pass from Williams. Loveland finished second on the Bears in targets behind Luther Burden (six), and the rookie tight end has recorded four catches or more in four of his last six games. The Michigan tight end has a 35-435-4 line on 49 targets through 12 regular-season games.

Bowers recorded four receptions on five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

Bowers made a quick impact in the game, with his first catch going for a 15-yard score on the final play of the first quarter. That matched his longest gain of the game, and though his performance was muted for most of the remainder of the contest, Bowers ultimately finished second on the team in targets, receptions and yards. He will likely remain plagued by poor quarterback play for the rest of the season, though he has still managed six touchdowns in his last six matchups.

Gesicki brought in all six targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Gesicki finished tied with Tee Higgins for the team lead in receptions and as the runner-up to his teammate in receiving yards, and both figures were also new season highs. The veteran tight end also scored his first touchdown of the campaign on a 12-yard grab with just under nine minutes remaining. Gesicki has proven to have good chemistry with Joe Burrow, so he'll remain a viable option at a tricky fantasy position in a Week 15 home rematch with the Ravens next Sunday.

Johnson secured all four targets for 38 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The veteran tight end finished with modest production yardage-wise, but he did produce a team-high reception total. Johnson also finished second in receiving yards on a low-volume day for the air attack, but he now has at least four catches in six of the last seven contests going into a Week 15 home matchup against the Panthers next Sunday.

Thomas (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup versus Denver.

Thomas is done for the day after exiting the game in the second half. With Michael Mayer out with an ankle injury, Brock Bowers and Carter Runyon are now the only healthy tight ends available for the Raiders.

Knox caught six of seven targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

On a cold, snowy day in Buffalo, Josh Allen leaned heavily on his tight ends to move the ball. Knox led the Bills in catches, targets and receiving yards, while Dalton Kincaid -- returning from a three-game absence due to lower-body injuries -- and Jackson Hawes each caught a touchdown. Knox's six grabs and 93 yards were both season highs and his best performance in three years, coming in just short of a 6-98-1 line in Week 15 of the 2022 season against the Dolphins. With Kincaid back in action, though, Knox is likely to see his role as a receiver shrink in Week 15 of the current campaign against the Patriots.

Kincaid caught four of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

After missing the prior three games with hamstring and knee issues, Kincaid made an immediate impact in his return to action, hauling in a five-yard TD in the third quarter. Josh Allen leaned heavily on all his tight ends given the cold, snowy conditions -- Dawson Knox led the Bills with six catches and 93 receiving yards, while No. 3 TE Jackson Hawes also caught a touchdown. A healthy Kincaid might be Allen's favorite target, however, and through nine games this season he's established a new career high with five TDs, along with 33 catches on 41 targets for 489 yards. He'll look to build on this performance in Week 15 against the Patriots.
