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. |

Panthers | Tremble catches 4 passes for 46 yards, two touchdowns in win over Eagles Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Tommy Tremble caught 4 passes for 46 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 3.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.

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. |

Colts | Colts activate TE Will Mallory off IR with Warren 'questionable' Sat Oct 17, 01:01 PM
The Colts activated TE Will Mallory off injured reserve on Saturday after opening his 21-day practice window. Mallory had spent the entire season on IR after a thumb injury that cost him the final two preseason games. He has been behind Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox, and Drew Ogletree on the depth chart, but Warren is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans with a groin injury after being limited in practice on Friday. Mallory led the Colts with six catches for 80 yards in the preseason opener against the Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Mallory was expected to be activated soon, so this may have nothing to do with Warren popping up late in the week as questionable with a groin issue, but if Warren can't go vs. the Titans, Mallory will help pick up the slack. |

Steelers | Pat Freiermuth added to injury report, questionable for Week 6 Sat Oct 17, 12:22 PM
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth has been added to the injury report with a calf injury and is questionable for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers. Freiermuth was not on the injury report previously.
| Footballguys view: This is usually a sign that a player was recently hurt, which leaves us in the dark as to how severe the injury is and whether it will limit the player's effectiveness if they do play. Freiermuth is probably still a viable tight end play as long as he's active and we don't hear that the injury is worrisome. If Freiermuth is out, Darnell Washington would be worth a look as a streaming tight end because the Steelers only have two of their top five wideouts for this game. |

Colts | Tyler Warren suffers groin injury in practice, questionable vs. Titans Fri Oct 16, 04:03 PM
Colts TE Tyler Warren suffered a groin injury in practice on Friday. He is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
| Footballguys view: Warren went down with a preseason groin injury but quickly returned to practice and was ready for Week 1. If this is an aggravation of that injury, his outlook for this week could be murky. Warren is coming off his best game of the year and was looking like a TE1 you could trust, but fantasy managers should plan for an alternate. The Colts kick off early, so if he can't go, fantasy managers will have no shortage of options to pivot to. |

49ers | Kittle asked Lynch about acquiring Chargers edge Khalil Mack Fri Oct 16, 12:11 PM
49ers GM John Lynch said TE George Kittle asked him on Thursday about the possibility of acquiring Chargers DE Khalil Mack, who has three sacks for the 0-5 Chargers. Asked on KNBR whether he is talking to teams, Lynch said, "Just because the flow of the trade deadline is approaching, yes. That's our job to do that, to talk with our counterparts around the league. We receive calls, we make calls, just to see where the market is at."

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq set to be full participant Friday Fri Oct 16, 10:51 AM
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq (concussion) will be a full participant in Friday's practice, head coach Aaron Glenn said. Sadiq was limited in Thursday's practice after being in the concussion protocol earlier in the week. He left the Week 5 game against the Browns with the concussion.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday and Thursday. Full participation on Friday should allow him to clear concussion protocol. We'll get more news after practice. But assuming Sadiq is active, he can be started as a TE1 this week against the Patriots. |

Jets rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq was a limited participant on Thursday's injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Patriots. Sadiq was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Browns with a concussion and was still in the concussion protocol on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: The Jets held only a walkthrough on Wednesday, so that day's participation was an estimation. The talented rookie tight end needs to clear the league protocol before he can play. Stay tuned. |

Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq remains in the concussion protocol as of Wednesday. Sadiq was ruled out with a concussion during Sunday's win over the Browns. The Jets visit the Patriots in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq was concussed in Week 5, and now he must get through the protocol to play in Week 6. If the rookie can't clear protocol in time, Mason Taylor would be a flex-worthy tight end against the Patriots on Sunday. |

Bengals | Tanner Hudson suffers torn pec, likely out for the season Tue Oct 13, 11:49 AM
Bengals TE Tanner Hudson suffered a torn pectoral and will likely be out for the season, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday. Hudson has been a big receiving option for QB Joe Burrow and caught a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Hudson suffered the injury while trying to make a tackle on special teams in Cincinnati's 31-24 victory in Week 5. Earlier in the game, he had three catches for 14 yards and a touchdown reception. Cincinnati's other reserve tight end options include Erick All Jr. and Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick in this year's draft who has been inactive in three of the team's five games this season. |

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. |
