Texans | Dalton Schultz good to go for Sunday vs. Giants Fri Oct 23, 05:05 PM
Texans TE Dalton Schultz (quad) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Giants. He carries no game designation after practicing on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Schultz missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday, but will play in Sunday's game against the Giants. After Jaylin Noel's breakout, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade, and Tank Dell's return, the Texans' pecking order quickly became crowded. Schultz was a great early-season streaming option while Nico Collins was out, but now he's more of a touchdown-dependent desperation play. |

Bears | Ben Johnson confirms Cole Kmet will miss rest of season with knee injury Fri Oct 23, 04:31 PM
Bears head coach Ben Johnson confirmed on Friday that TE Cole Kmet will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury he sustained midway through the fourth quarter of Thursday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. "He's going to be sorely missed," Johnson said. "And yet the train keeps rolling along. Someone else has to step up." Kmet caught three passes for 28 yards before exiting, joining Mike Ditka as the only Bears tight ends with at least 3,000 career receiving yards.

Ravens | Mark Andrews off injury report, set to play vs. Bengals Fri Oct 23, 04:01 PM
Ravens TE Mark Andrews (hand) is off the final injury report of the week and set to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Andrews practiced in full all week and wasn't in any danger of missing this game. He's a viable streamer in Week 7, but fantasy managers should note Josh Cuevas' growing role and the negative impact it could have on Andrews' outlook. |

Colts | Tyler Warren ruled out for Sunday vs. Vikings Fri Oct 23, 12:46 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday. Warren did not practice all week, missing Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday sessions.
| Footballguys view: We'll get another week without Warren. He suffered the injury in practice leading up to Week 6's game, missed the game, and hasn't practiced since. The Colts face an undefeated Vikings squad this week. Keenan Allen can eat on short targets and has value in PPR leagues as a low-ceiling WR3, but Jonathan Taylor is the only guy with any legitimate value on this roster. Warren will be in the TE1 discussion once he's healthy, and he'll try to return to practice again next week. |

Bears | Cole Kmet's knee injury believed to be a torn ACL Fri Oct 23, 12:36 PM
Bears TE Cole Kmet's knee injury is believed to be a torn ACL, a source said on Friday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Kmet is "believed to have suffered a serious, likely season-ending knee injury" and was set for more tests Friday morning, adding that "until those results come back, there is no finality." Kmet was carted off after grabbing his knee in Thursday's win over the Patriots, and head coach Ben Johnson said after the game that it didn't look very good. The Bears have not made an official statement.

Bears | Cole Kmet believed to have 'serious, likely season-ending knee injury' Fri Oct 23, 11:29 AM
Bears TE Cole Kmet, who was carted off in Thursday's win over the Patriots, is believed to have suffered a serious, likely season-ending knee injury, sources said. Kmet is undergoing testing on Friday morning, and until those results come back, there is no finality.
| Footballguys view: Kmet's production hasn't been great since 2023, when he logged a TE1 fantasy season. But he's the longest-tenured Bear and a team leader. As a traditional tight end, Kmet lets Colston Loveland run more routes, and the Bears are losing a key part of their offense, even if the box score doesn't show it. They drafted Sam Roush 69th overall this year, and he's been slow to get up to speed so far. He'll need to step into a bigger role with Kmet out, but the Bears could be in the market for a trade as they dream about a postseason run. |

Raiders | OC Andrew Janocko calls Michael Mayer 'a valuable piece to this team' Fri Oct 23, 09:31 AM
Raiders offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko praised TE Michael Mayer during his Thursday press conference, calling him "a valuable piece to this team" and adding, "He's going to be a part of our success going forward." Janocko cited Mayer's work in the "run game, pass game protections" and noted he "sits in the front row of the meeting rooms." Mayer had a career-high 95 receiving yards in last Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Bills.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders ran multi-tight-end sets on 74% of their snaps last week, clearly comfortable using both Brock Bowers and Mayer full-time. Mayer is the TE12 on the year. He has a tough matchup this weekend against the Rams, but he's firmly in the streaming discussion. |

Patriots | Raridon catches 3 passes for 56 yards, a touchdown in loss to Bears Thu Oct 22, 11:25 PM
New England Patriots TE Eli Raridon caught 3 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Thursday's 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 3.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.1.

Seahawks | Elijah Arroyo placed on IR, will miss rest of season after shoulder surgery Thu Oct 22, 03:05 PM
The Seahawks placed TE Elijah Arroyo on injured reserve on Thursday. Arroyo will undergo shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the 2026 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. The second-year tight end hurt his shoulder in last Thursday's loss to the Broncos while trying to recover a Rashid Shaheed fumble, and he finishes the season with one catch for 17 yards.
| Footballguys view: Arroya has the natural talent to be a dangerous receiving weapon in this league, but he's oft-injured and now has another injury to come back from. AJ Barner, Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup are the remaining tight ends on the 53-man roster, with Josiah Deguara recently joining the practice squad. |

Colts | Tyler Warren not practicing again Thursday Thu Oct 22, 01:20 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren (groin) was not practicing on Thursday. Warren also did not practice on Wednesday and was inactive for last Sunday's game against the Titans with the groin injury.
| Footballguys view: The Colts need to be looking to the future, so there's no need to rush Warren back out there if he's not ready. Warren is a part of the team's future, but many things are up in the air with a team that fired their GM midseason. Without Warren, the Colts would lean on Keenan Allen more like they did a week ago. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta 'disappointing' no extension, says he'll 'get paid somewhere else' Wed Oct 21, 02:54 PM
Lions TE Sam LaPorta voiced frustration about not getting a contract extension in an appearance on Pardon My Take. "It's disappointing that you go out there every week and bear the risk of getting hurt. Like last year, I broke my f--ing back for the team. And then I'm going out there this year and I'm balling, and maybe they're just not showing the love," LaPorta said. He added that "in three months, if I don't get to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore, it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid somewhere else."
| Footballguys view: The Lions and LaPorta broke off contract talks earlier this month, and the standout tight end is frustrated. If they're not completely broken off, there is a clear stalemate. A second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, LaPorta is looking to become one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson at 'final stage' of concussion protocol, will practice Wed Oct 21, 02:31 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson will practice on Wednesday and is at the final stage of the concussion protocol, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. There is optimism that Hockenson will play in Sunday's game against the Colts. Hockenson suffered the concussion in the team's Week 5 win over the Saints and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Hockenson had the bye week to rest in Week 6, and we'll see how his body responds to practice in preparation for Week 7. At this time, Hockenson has to be considered a TE2 with upside. Fantasy GMs need to circle back to see if he's cleared league protocol. |

Colts | Tyler Warren not practicing Wednesday Wed Oct 21, 02:11 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren did not practice on Wednesday because of a groin injury. TE Drew Ogletree was also not practicing.
| Footballguys view: Warren injured himself last Friday, and he missed the Week 6 contest against the Titans. Missing practice on Wednesday is not a great start to the week, and it might indicate that Warren needs more time to heal. Look for Keenan Allen to get more targets if Warren has to miss another game. |

Bengals | Erick All Jr. runs Hudson's routes; Casey expects him to 'take off the rest of the year' Mon Oct 19, 09:08 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. ran some of the routes usually reserved for Tanner Hudson and Mike Gesicki at Monday's practice, the first since Hudson was lost for the season with a pectoral injury. "He's a really talented receiver... We haven't scratched the surface on what we can do with him as a blocker and a receiver," tight ends coach James Casey said, adding, "now I'm looking for him to take off the rest of the year... Maybe he can capitalize on some of the opportunities Tanner had." All has caught five of six targets for 30 yards on 103 snaps this season after missing all of 2025 with an ACL injury, and he says there are no issues with his knee. Head coach Zac Taylor said replacing Hudson will be by committee, with Gesicki, WR Colbie Young and All among those who can fill the void.

Seahawks | Elijah Arroyo expected to miss time with shoulder injury, could face 'extended absence' Mon Oct 19, 03:54 PM
Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo is expected to miss time with a shoulder injury, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. Arroyo was hurt trying to recover a Rashid Shaheed fumble late in the first half of Thursday's 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Fowler added that the team is still determining the severity of the injury, but Arroyo could have an extended absence. The Seahawks signed TE Josiah Deguara to the practice squad on Monday for depth. This is a non-issue for fantasy managers, with Arroyo averaging .4 fantasy points per game. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid leaves with rib injury, returns in fourth quarter Sun Oct 18, 07:37 PM
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid left Sunday's 33-30 win over the Raiders with a rib injury but returned in the fourth quarter. Kincaid earlier appeared to catch a touchdown from QB Josh Allen, but it was called back on a holding penalty.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid caught seven passes for 38 yards in Vegas. His team-high eight targets were a welcome development after a three-week stretch where the tight end saw just seven combined targets. The Bills are off in Week 7 and return to play the Ravens in Week 8. |

Raiders | Mayer catches 7 passes for 95 yards in loss to Bills Sun Oct 18, 07:35 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer caught 7 passes for 95 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 5.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.0.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Tristan Cockcroft noted, the Raiders are making two tight ends fantasy relevant. Mayer -- second on their positional depth chart -- scored 16.5 fantasy points on nine targets, his third game with at least 12 points in his past four. Coach Klint Kubiak's offense has coaxed a league-leading 64.6 points from tight ends during those four weeks. Mayer was TE5 overall through the end of Sunday's late-afternoon games. His teammate, Brock Bowers, was TE11 with 11 points. |

Saints | Johnson held to 0 catches for 0 yards in win over Giants Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 34-27 win over the New York Giants. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: The Saints pass offense didn't do a lot of the heavy lifting for the team in Week 6, and Johnson's fantasy output was one of the casualties. He'll head to Paris and face the Steelers next week with a bye up in Week 8. He's not an essential hold in short-bench leagues if he's not your most productive tight end. |

Falcons | Pitts catches 5 passes for 60 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Bears Sun Oct 18, 04:21 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr. caught 5 passes for 60 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 6.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.5.
| Footballguys view: Pitts scored two garbage-time touchdowns that ended up not being garbage time, as they turned a 24-point deficit into an 8-point gap late in the game and made the Bears sweat out the final moments. Kyler Gordon sacked Michael Penix Jr. on the decisive play, focring a fumble that Chicago recovered to end the Falcons' last drive. Pitts is back to being a boom/bust TE1 after a very slow start to the season that might have gotten him dropped in some leagues. |

Browns | Fannin held to 1 catch for 9 yards in win over Ravens Sun Oct 18, 04:00 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 7.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Fannin started slow and then appeared to emerge as Deshaun Watson's favorite red-zone target with three touchdowns over two games in Weeks 3 and 4, but he has retreated to the background of the passing game again. The Browns have a good matchup against the weak Titans pass defense in Week 7, but you would be forgiven for dropping Fannin in short-bench leagues, and maybe even in a longer-bench league if you have a strong tight end option and Fannin has been on your bench. |
