Vikings | T.J. Hockenson 'feeling pretty good' but in concussion protocol Mon Oct 12, 02:00 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson is in the concussion protocol, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Monday. O'Connell said Hockenson is "feeling pretty good today," and the team will monitor him throughout the bye.
| Footballguys view: With backup TE Josh Oliver (torn biceps muscle) on injured reserve, the Vikings played the rest of Sunday's game with two backups: Gavin Bartholomew and Ben Yurosek, who was activated from injured reserve this weekend. That's not ideal so that the bye couldn't have come at a better time for Hockenson and the Vikings. |

Likely catches 11 passes for 94 yards, two touchdowns in tie with Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 11 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 9.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: Likely was the clear focus of the game plan as a short range target in a callback to Week 1 when he posted an 8-78-2 line against the Cowboys. This could be a week to remember for other reasons if you have Likely, however, because he limped off late in the game. We'll be watching the practice reports to see what Likely's status will be for a Week 6 home game against the Saints. |

Browns | Fannin held to 1 catch for 4 yards in loss to Jets Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the New York Jets. He was projected for 8.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.9.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was emerging as Deshaun Watson's favorite red zone target with three touchdowns in Weeks 3-4, but he was a dud on a rainy day in New Jersey. He's still worth carrying in fantasy leagues, but the nature of playing with Watson in this low wattage offense will keep his floor low and ceiling touchdown-dependent heading into a matchup with the Ravens. |

Steelers | Freiermuth catches 5 passes for 44 yards, two touchdowns in win over Colts Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth ran 1 time for 1 yard and also caught 5 passes for 44 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.
| Footballguys view: Freiermuth scored twice with the Steelers wide receiver group missing the #2 and #3 options for most of this game. He'll be an add on the waiver wire for any teams that need a streaming TE1 to cover Sam LaPorta's bye or teams that haven't found a consistent tight end option for their lineup yet. |

Colts | Warren catches 7 passes for 83 yards in loss to Steelers Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren ran 1 time for 1 yard and a touchdown and also caught 7 passes for 83 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.9.
| Footballguys view: Warren was clearly the #1 target for Daniel Jones in this game, and the team turned to him as a goal line ballcarrier on a tough afternoon for Jonathan Taylor. He is being used more as a downfield receiver and should be moving up the fantasy tight end ranks ahead of a matchup with the bottom-dwelling Titans. |

Raiders | Mayer held to 1 catch for 2 yards in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer caught 1 pass for 2 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 7.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.7.
| Footballguys view: Mayer was a big part of the Raiders pass offense in Week 4, but he was barely heard from in Week 5. The Raiders weren't able to get anything going in this game except for passes to their all-world wide receiver, err, tight end Brock Bowers. Mayer isn't an essential hold heading into a game against the Bills, but the likely high-scoring matchup does keep him in streaming consideration if you are going to the wire to cover Sam LaPorta's bye next week. |

Raiders | Bowers catches 8 passes for 110 yards, a touchdown in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 8 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 15.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.

Vikings | Hockenson held to 1 catch for 7 yards in win over Saints Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 23-13 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.2.
| Footballguys view: Hockenson suffered a concussion on the second play of the game against the New Orleans Saints. His head slammed into the turf after making his lone catch on the day just 38 seconds into the game. He remained on the ground for several minutes before jogging to the sideline and later the locker room for a concussion test. With backup TE Josh Oliver (torn biceps muscle) on injured reserve, the Vikings played the rest of Sunday's game with two backups: Gavin Bartholomew and Ben Yurosek, who was activated from injured reserve this weekend. |

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq ruled out with a concussion against Browns Sun Oct 11, 03:33 PM
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a concussion, the team announced. Sadiq had been evaluated for a head injury earlier in the game. He will now enter the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Week 6 game at New England.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq had previously fumbled in the red zone. He has turned back into a pumpkin after a Week 3 7-105-1 breakout game that ended up being more about the Lions pass defense issues than the second of the Jets three first-round picks announcing his arrival. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson downgraded to out vs. Saints Sun Oct 11, 01:25 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints. Hockenson was injured in the first quarter and had been evaluated for a concussion before being listed as questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Hockenson posted his biggest fantasy game in years with 13 catches last week against Miami. Justin Jefferson was back this week, so Hockenson's outlook wasn't as bright, but he probably still got in some lineups as a streaming TE1, so this is a disappointment. The Vikings are on bye next week, so Hockenson may not miss an additional game due to this injury. |

Rams | Colby Parkinson a full participant in Friday's practice Fri Oct 9, 06:41 PM
Rams TE Colby Parkinson practiced in full on Friday. Parkinson had been limited in Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury, and head coach Sean McVay said Thursday he expects him to be "ready to go" for Monday's game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Parkinson missed last week's game but would likely assume the primary tight end role if he's back this week. Terrance Ferguson is on IR, and Tyler Higbee filled in admirably as the top guy last week, but Parkinson brings a different level to the position, especially near the end zone. In what projects as a high-scoring matchup against the Bills, Parkinson is a viable touchdown-dependent streamer. |

Chargers | TE Charlie Kolar questionable for Week 5 Fri Oct 9, 05:30 PM
Chargers TE Charlie Kolar (forearm) is listed as questionable on the Week 5 injury report. Charlie Kolar was limited in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Kolar avoided an IR designation after injuring his forearm and is expected to return in the next week or two. The Chargers are hurting at receiver right now, with Quentin Johnston and Brenen Thompson out and Ladd McConkey pessimistically questionable. Kolar could play an in-line role, allowing the Chargers to lean on Oronde Gadsden II as a pure receiver. While Kolar isn't personally in the fantasy discussion, his return could open some things up for a flailing Chargers offense. |

Dolphins | TE Justin Joly ruled out for Week 5 Fri Oct 9, 05:30 PM
Dolphins TE Justin Joly (concussion) is listed as out on the Week 5 injury report. Justin Joly did not participate in Friday's practice.

Eagles | Dallas Goedert officially back after missing two games Fri Oct 9, 04:32 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert was listed without a game status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London and is set to return after missing the Eagles' last two games.
| Footballguys view: Initial reports were that Goedert could be an IR candidate, but he'll return after just a two-game absence. The Eagles are hurting for weapons this week with DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley both out. Goedert can be started as a high-end streamer. |

Giants | Isaiah Likely cleared to play Sunday Fri Oct 9, 04:12 PM
Giants TE Isaiah Likely (knee/groin) carries no injury designation and is officially cleared to play in Sunday's game at the Commanders. Likely was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday with the knee and groin injuries before a full session Friday.
| Footballguys view: Likely is essentially operating as the team's WR2 behind Malik Nabers, giving him plenty of value as a fantasy TE1. This week could be a bit more volatile, as Washington weather is projected to be sloppy. Likely is second in targets among all tight ends, trailing only Trey McBride. If you've got Likely, you're probably starting him. |

Titans | Gunnar Helm 'good to go' after knee issue Fri Oct 9, 12:00 PM
Titans TE Gunnar Helm is good to go, head coach Robert Saleh said on Friday. Helm popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a knee issue and was limited in practice.
| Footballguys view: After a five-target game in Week 1, Helm has managed just five targets over the last three weeks. He's way off the fantasy radar in Week 5. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert appears to practice for second straight day Thu Oct 8, 02:02 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert appeared to be practicing on Thursday for a second straight day. Goedert was among six Eagles ruled out for the Week 4 game against the Rams.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are getting thin when it comes to pass-catching options on offense, so getting Goedert back out there will help. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) are banged up. Plus, Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday. |

Lions | LaPorta catches 8 passes for 84 yards, a touchdown in loss to Panthers Sun Oct 4, 11:45 PM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught 8 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 32-26 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.4.

Bills | Kincaid held to 1 catch for 7 yards in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 10.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.2.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid wasn't heard from until late in the game even though DJ Moore left in the first half. Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir played much larger roles in the passing game as Kincaid has completely cooled off after roaring out of the gate at a top-three fantasy tight end scoring clip. Kincaid still has a very high ceiling because of his quarterback and offense, and it would take a very compelling tight end option to bench him against the Rams in Week 5 on Monday night, especially if Moore is out. |

Jets | Sadiq held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Bears Sun Oct 4, 04:01 PM
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 8.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: The Jets offense spent most of the game on the sidelines, running only 34 plays in Week 4. Both field goals came off of turnovers, and the touchdown was in garbage time. Beware of the Bears offense making opposing players busts by controlling the time of possession battle. It looks like Sadiq's breakout game in Week 3 was more about the Lions poor defense against tight ends than Sadiq announcing his arrival. He can be dropped in redraft leagues ahead of a matchup against the Browns. |

Rams | Terrance Ferguson to IR, Parkinson questionable, Klare likely to make NFL debut Fri Oct 2, 06:01 PM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson was placed on injured reserve on Friday after leaving Week 3's loss to the Broncos with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson is third on the team with 12 targets, catching seven passes for 63 yards and a touchdown. TE Colby Parkinson has not practiced this week and is questionable for Sunday's game at the Eagles. Rookie TE Max Klare, a healthy scratch every week so far, is probably going to make his NFL debut in the wake of the injuries at tight end. |
