Patriots | Hunter Henry questionable to return, Raridon takes over as top TE Sun Nov 1, 05:28 PM
Patriots TE Hunter Henry left Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins early with a foot injury and is questionable to return. Henry appeared to suffer the injury on a four-yard completion in the second quarter and spent multiple minutes in the blue medical tent before departing to the locker room; he was the team's top receiver with three catches for 30 yards before leaving. Rookie TE Eli Raridon took over as the top tight end, with Cameron Latu and rookie Tanner Arkin also active at the position. The Patriots were already without WR A.J. Brown and RB TreVeyon Henderson and have just four active wide receivers.

Patriots WRs Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III and rookie TEs Eli Raridon and Tanner Arkin were in New England's offensive starting lineup for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins.

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 10 passes for 154 yards on 12 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 8.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.4.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was Deshaun Watson's main man against a Steelers defense that was playing prevent for most of the second half nursing a big lead. The tight end has been up and down in his second year, but this result will boost him past where he was ranked in drafts and set him up to be a success for people that stuck with him after Watson barely looked his way in Week 1 blowout loss to Jacksonville. Fannin will be a easy play as a TE1 on the road against the Saints next week. |

Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 7 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 15.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.7.
| Footballguys view: Both of Bowers touchdowns were short passes with one diving grab in the end zone and one nifty score where Klint Kubiak brought him across the formation at the snap and the defense lost him at the goal line. After missing the first two games, he has become the clear #1 tight end and "Jaxon Smith-Njigba" for Kubiak in Las Vegas. He'll face the 49ers coming off of his bye next week. |

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr. caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 7.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: Pitts was wide open for a play that could have been a long score if he wasn't overthrown, and he would have overcome the biblical rainstorm that made it near impossible for both run games to function in this contest. Pitts should still be in fantasy lineups next week against a Bengals defense that just gave up a big game to Titans tight end Gunnar Helm. |

Bengals rookie TE Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick from Texas with 10 NFL scrimmage snaps, and blocking TE Cam Grandy, who was signed off the Vikings practice squad last week, will supplement Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample in Sunday's game against the Titans following the year-ending losses of TEs Erick All Jr. and Tanner Hudson. "Those are two huge losses for us that you can't really replace with just two guys. It's going to have to be by committee," QB Joe Burrow said. Burrow said of Endries, "All the things that we talk about in the pass game, Jack seems to see it and feel it like a quarterback does," adding that he "also brings some toughness, I think, in the run game as well."

Bears TE Colston Loveland has no injury designation for Monday night's Week 8 game at the Seahawks. Loveland was added to the injury report on Friday as a limited participant with a neck injury.
| Footballguys view: Loveland was added to the injury report with Friday's neck injury, but the hope is he an get out there against the defending Super Bowl champions. Loveland caught 7-of-12 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' Week 7 win over the Patriots. We've got him as a TE1 range as per usual, and he's got no injury designation for Week 8. |

Bears TE Colston Loveland will practice on Saturday, head coach Ben Johnson said. Loveland was limited on Friday with a neck injury, which Johnson said the team hopes is minor. The Bears visit the Seahawks on Monday night in Week 8.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (calf) is off the injury report and does not carry a game designation for Sunday's game against the Jets. Bowers had been limited in Wednesday's practice with the calf injury. TE Ian Thomas (shoulder) is also off the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Another week, another injury for Bowers. After missing the first two games of the season due to unexpected knee surgery, Bowers has been on and off most injury reports since. He's played admirably this season and leads all tight ends in fantasy points per game. He's a no-brainer TE1 any time he's active. |

Jaguars TE Brenton Strange (eye) was listed without a game status on Friday's final injury report, meaning he is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Colts.
| Footballguys view: Strange practiced fully all week and can be started as a TE1 this week against the Colts. |

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) is off the injury report and set to play Sunday against the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: There was a bit of a scare when Kelce was downgraded to a limited participant at yesterday's practice, but he returned today and was removed from the final injury report. Start him this week as a middling TE1. |

Bears TE Colston Loveland was added to Friday's injury report as limited with a neck injury. Chicago plays at Seattle on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: Loveland and the Bears will have another practice tomorrow that will hopefully help us get a better understanding of this new injury. The Bears are already down Cole Kmet, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week. Behind Loveland is rookie Sam Roush, who has struggled to get up to NFL speed so far. Check back in after tomorrow's practice for an update on Loveland. |

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Parkinson missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday after getting hurt in the third quarter of last Sunday's win over the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: If active, Parkinson will be a pass-catcher alongside Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen. At least one touchdown will probably go to one of them, but good luck guessing which one. If Parkinson is active, he's a touchdown-dependent streamer. |
Colby Parkinson player page
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (chest) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Ravens, head coach Joe Brady said on Friday. Kincaid wore a red non-contact jersey at practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid had 225 yards and a touchdown in his first two games, looking absolutely dominant. Since then, he's averaged just 22.5 yards per game and hasn't scored a touchdown. Injuries have been a common theme of Kincaid's career, and he came out of the bye week dealing with the same injury he suffered in Week 6. He landed awkwardly on a ball, left the game in the third quarter, and returned late. If he's active, he can be started as a back-end TE1 in what's projected to be a high-scoring game with the Ravens. |

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday. Warren had missed two straight games with the groin injury and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Warren suffered this groin injury in practice leading up to Week 6, so the severity was largely unknown. He was able to start this week with a couple of limited practices and is now cleared for Sunday. There's been little to be excited about in the Colts offense this year, but Warren could help. As a short target underneath, he averaged 7.8 targets over his last four games. Warren, even coming off the injury, is a fantasy TE1 this week against the Jaguars. |

Rams TE Colby Parkinson (rib) missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. Parkinson was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders before returning to that game.

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was a limited participant again on Thursday, the Colts' first on-field practice of the week after a walkthrough on Wednesday. Warren, who has missed the last two games, was also limited on Wednesday. TE Drew Ogletree (knee) was limited as well ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Warren has been out of action for a couple of games, but this week he's been limited in two days of practice. Another limited practice on Friday isn't total clarity, but a full participation would make it seem like he's ready to return in Week 8. Stay tuned, and check back on Friday to see what Warren's status is. |

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid was still wearing a red non-contact jersey at practice on Thursday. Kincaid also wore the non-contact jersey on Wednesday. He left the October 18 game with a rib injury before returning in the fourth quarter.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid had a bye in Week 7 to get right, and he's trending in the right direction. A non-contact jersey is not a great start in back-to-back days of practice this week. Let's see what Friday's injury report reveals about Kincaid's status. |

Raiders TE Brock Bowers was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday because of a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: We've seen this with Bowers before. Bowers was also limited last Wednesday with a hamstring/calf injury before upgrading to full practice on Thursday. Let's see if the plan is the same this week for the superstar tight end. |

Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report. The Colts held only a walkthrough on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation of how players would have participated if practice had happened. Warren missed Sunday's game in Minnesota and was also sidelined for the Week 6 game against the Titans. The Colts visit the Jaguars in Week 8.

Bengals TE Erick All Jr. suffered his third ACL tear in his right knee in the last four seasons in last Sunday's win over the Ravens, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Wednesday. "It's awful for him," Taylor said. "He's been through this a couple of times before." With Tanner Hudson (pectoral) also lost for the season, rookie TE Jack Endries and TE Cam Grandy will have to "pick up the slack," and Taylor said of Endries: "I'm not nervous at all about using him. I think he's earned the opportunity."

Bears rookie TE Sam Roush is expected to see more snaps with TE Cole Kmet out for the rest of the season after sustaining a knee injury in last Thursday's win over the Patriots. Roush is the only reserve tight end on the 53-man roster behind starter Colston Loveland. "We've been very pleased with the improvement that [Roush] has made over these first seven weeks, and so there's a high likelihood that his rep count is going to go up as a result of what's going on here," coach Ben Johnson said. Roush, a third-round pick out of Stanford, said, "I'll have to step up in the coming weeks, and I feel confident in my ability to do that."

The Bengals officially placed TE Erick All Jr. on injured reserve with a knee injury on Tuesday. Cincinnati brought back TE Cam Grandy to the 53-man roster from the Vikings' practice squad.
| Footballguys view: The team also placed rookie TE Josh Kattus on practice squad injured reserve and replaced him on the practice squad with TE Caden Prieskorn, a first-year player out of Ole Miss. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so adding depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample was important. Of course, Gesicki is the lone fantasy-relevant option at the position here. |

Bengals TE Erick All Jr. limped off the field in Sunday's win over the Ravens with an injury to his right knee, the same knee in which he had ACL surgery that sidelined him for a year and a half. Head coach Zac Taylor said Monday he is not sure of the extent of the injury, which came a week after TE Tanner Hudson (pectoral) was lost for the year. The Bengals signed TE Cam Grandy off the Vikings practice squad, Cincinnati's Channel 5's Charlie Clifford reported. "He's somebody we can rely on, somebody we've got a lot of trust in," Taylor said of Grandy. "He was really a make-it roster guy for us."

Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that he did not know whether DE Myles Garrett or TE Terrance Ferguson will return to practice this week. McVay said he had not spoken to team doctor Reggie Scott on Monday. Both players are on injured reserve, Ferguson with an ankle sprain.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that the team will need to get more information before making any comments on TE Erick All Jr.'s knee injury.
| Footballguys view: All has played a role on offense when healthy, but he's struggled to stay on the field. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample continues to look shaky. We'll continue to watch for more on this. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Davis Allen caught 4 passes for 20 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 2.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.0.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop noted, outside of Puka Nacua, just one Rams wide receiver had a catch: Konata Mumpfield, for 15 yards. Instead, the Rams turned to their tight ends (Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Tyler Higbee) and their running backs (Kyren Williams and Blake Corum). It led to their highest-scoring game of the season. |

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught 1 pass for 18 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.3.

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught 10 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 12.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.1.
| Footballguys view: It was National Tight Ends Day on Sunday, and McBride, as he does on game days, holiday or not, was excellent again. As CBSSports.com notes, McBride became the first tight end in NFL history to record 400 regular-season catches in his first four seasons, bolstering his career total to 406. McBride has recorded at least seven receptions in all seven games this season while scoring four times heading into a Week 8 matchup with a weak Dallas pass defense. |

Rams TE Colby Parkinson has returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders after being injured in the third quarter.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson finished the day with five catches (on six targets) for 48 yards. Both Parkinson and Tyler Higbee lost a pair of touchdowns to fellow tight end Davis Allen in this one. Allen was TE4 heading into the Sunday night game. |

Giants TE Isaiah Likely said he was OK after hobbling at times through the second half of Sunday's win over the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Houston. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2. The Giants head into their bye with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. |
Isaiah Likely player page
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2.
| Footballguys view: Likely has been putting up massive ceiling games in the "Rashee Rice" role from Matt Nagy's offense, but he was quiet with J.J. McCarthy showing off his arm strength and talent with decisive downfield throws in this win. Likely is still a starting fantasy tight end heading into the bye, although the quality of his chemistry with J.J. McCarthy is still a work in progress. |
Isaiah Likely player page
The Broncos started Sunday's game against the Cardinals in 21 personnel. RBs RJ Harvey and Prentice, WRs Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle and TE Adam Trautman were on the field for the opening grouping.

New York Jets TE Mason Taylor caught 5 passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns on 6 targets in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.7.
| Footballguys view: First-round pick Kenyon Sadiq had a breakout game earlier this season against the Lions, but Taylor was the primary receiving tight end in this game. Taylor also caught a two-point conversion in another sign that he is the most trusted receiving tight end for the Jets right now. If you need to pick someone up from the waiver wire to cover George Kittle or Isaiah Likely's bye, Taylor is a viable choice who should be out there. |

New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 7.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.2.
