Rams | TE Terrance Ferguson ruled out for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 04:35 PM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is listed as out on the Week 10 injury report. Terrance Ferguson did not participate in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson will hope to return after the Rams' Week 11 bye. His 21-day practice window was opened after an IR stint due to an ankle injury. And while he was on track to play last week, he injured his quad during Friday's practice and hasn't played or practiced since. We'll see what he can do before Week 12, and the Rams will hope to avoid shutting him down if he can't come back within the 21-day window. |

Rams | TE Davis Allen questionable for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 04:35 PM
Rams TE Davis Allen (oblique) is listed as questionable on the Week 10 injury report. Davis Allen was limited in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The Rams are banged up this week, and Allen is one of many on the injury report. Desperate fantasy managers can start him if he's active in hopes that he scores a touchdown, but he could score zero points without that, making him extremely risky. |

Cowboys | TE Jake Ferguson ruled out for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 04:35 PM
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee) is listed as out on the Week 10 injury report. Jake Ferguson did not participate in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering a knee injury. Brevyn Spann-Ford has been a bit more involved over the last few weeks. He's worth a stash to see what his role looks like, but only in deep leagues. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers Fri Nov 13, 04:08 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Packers. Hockenson was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday and was not seen at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: As expected, Hockenson won't play this week. Gavin Bartholomew should be a full-time tight end in his absence, making him an intriguing, albeit risky, streamer. Hockenson will hope to return next week for a Sunday Night Football matchup against the 49ers. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson not seen at Friday practice ahead of Packers game Fri Nov 13, 02:47 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson was not spotted on the field at practice on Friday. Hockenson (wrist/chest) was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday. The reporter noted his absence 'would be a big' one for Sunday's game at Green Bay.
| Footballguys view: Looks like a full week of DNPs for Hockenson, which rarely leads to an active status. Second-year tight end Gavin Bartholomew saw a nice uptick in work when Hockenson was out earlier this season and should be the team's primary pass-catching tight end this week if Hockenson can't go. He's only worth a start in extremely deep leagues, but has some upside for desperate managers. Hockenson has looked fully recovered this season from the knee injury he suffered years ago. With Kirk Cousins expected to elevate the entire Vikings offense, Hockenson will hope to return soon and benefit from a better ecosystem. |

Cardinals | Elijah Higgins signs three-year extension worth up to $26.8M Fri Nov 13, 01:03 PM
Cardinals TE Elijah Higgins and the team have agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $26.8 million, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Higgins has been the Cardinals' TE2 since they drafted him and has just started seeing more opportunities over the last few weeks. It's hard to justify stashing him outside of extremely deep leagues. But if Trey McBride were to miss a game, there's some theoretical contingent upside here. |

Patriots | Hunter Henry limited but carries no injury designation for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 12:02 PM
Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) was limited in practice but has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Lions. Henry was questionable for last Sunday's game against the Packers and was active after practicing only on Friday that week.
| Footballguys view: Henry is a vet with a good understanding of his body and the offense he plays in. He doesn't need a full week of practice to play, and he's expected to go this week. A.J. Brown's expected return puts a slight cap on Henry's ceiling, but he's a solid touchdown-or-bust streaming option in Week 10. |

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (ankle) was limited at practice on Thursday. Kincaid was also limited on Wednesday after hurting his ankle in Monday's win over the Vikings. The Bills visit the Jets on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid was limited last week by a chest injury, and he still went out there and caught three passes for 28 yards in the Bills' Week 9 win over the Vikings. Now, he's limited by an ankle injury, but we still have him as a TE1. |

Lions | Lions have received calls on Sam LaPorta, would like to keep him Tue Nov 10, 12:20 AM
The Lions have received calls from other teams about TE Sam LaPorta. Teams have gotten the impression that Detroit would like to keep LaPorta and eventually try to work out a long-term deal with him.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta is in the final year of his rookie contract, and both he and the team have been open about wanting to sign an extension. As SBNation noted, general manager Brad Holmes has previously expressed a desire to reach a long-term deal with LaPorta. Still, he has yet to address the media since reports of stalled negotiations. While not definitive, this report from Fowler suggests the Lions haven't given up on getting a deal done. |

Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner ran 3 times for 3 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 7 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 5.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.0.
| Footballguys view: Per ESPN Research, Barner became only the sixth tight end in NFL history with a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same game. Barner got his first score on a tush-push carry, which has been an unstoppable play for the Seahawks since they began using it last season. Seattle plays the Raiders in Week 10. |

| Footballguys view: Goedert said he spoke to Howie Roseman "briefly" a few weeks ago and had "a good conversation." "Obviously, anything can change," Goedert said. "For the right price, everybody's available, so we'll see what happens. But not too worried about it." We'll all be eagerly waiting to see what moves come before Tuesday's deadline. |

Rams | Terrance Ferguson pulled hamstring, likely out 'another couple weeks' Sun Nov 8, 05:06 PM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson pulled his hamstring during Friday's practice and will likely be out for "another couple [of] weeks," head coach Sean McVay said on Sunday. "You can't make it up, can you?" McVay said. McVay added that Ferguson was going to be a "big part" of the game plan for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: The Rams also have to deal with a Puka Nacua knee injury that they believe is not season-ending but will require an MRI. Matthew Stafford's fantasy value is plummeting, but the Rams running backs could be even more central in the game plan with Myles Garrett's three-sack return promising one of the NFL's best pass rushes in the second half of the season to keep games low scoring. The Rams should also be in the market for a wide receiver with Tuesday's trade deadline looming. |

Panthers | Waller catches 8 passes for 90 yards, a touchdown in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller caught 8 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 5.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.
| Footballguys view: Waller's big game should remind us to err on the side of starting tight ends when they face a Broncos defense that has allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends and six games of 62 yards or more to tight ends in nine games this season. Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid, and Hunter Henry draw the Broncos in the fantasy playoffs in Weeks 15-17. |

His lone target of the season came in the opener against the Bills and went for 16 yards. Klein had a good preseason but had been inactive since the Indianapolis game, primarily for special-teams reasons, while TE Cade Stover is a healthy scratch on Sunday.

Browns | Browns eyeing edge rusher, blocking TE to 'move Harold Fannin Jr. around even more' Sat Nov 7, 09:09 AM
The Browns are positioned as buyers ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline and have looked at adding a rotational edge rusher and perhaps a blocking tight end, Albert Breer reported. A blocking tight end "would free them up to move Harold Fannin Jr. around even more," according to Breer. Head coach Todd Monken hasn't used many extra offensive linemen in the blocking tight end role, leaving Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. or receivers like WR Malachi Corley to step in there.
| Footballguys view: Fannin is already one of the most productive tight ends in the league. Adding a blocking tight end to move him around would only make Fannin even more dangerous. With Shedeur Sanders under center against the Saints on Sunday, we should see Fannin post TE1 numbers for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Cardinals | Cardinals have 'zero intention' of trading Trey McBride despite Broncos' inquiry Sat Nov 7, 07:47 AM
The Broncos have checked in around the league on tight ends, going so far as to inquire about Cardinals TE Trey McBride ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Cardinals made it "very clear they have zero intention of trading McBride." McBride is from Fort Morgan, Colorado, and played college football at Colorado State.
| Footballguys view: McBride means a lot to the Cardinals, and it's not a surprise they're not going to trade him. The Broncos need a "joker" tight end, and Sean Payton would be over the moon to have a talent like McBride. We'll see if someone like Dallas Goedert ends up in Denver before Tuesday's trade deadline. The Broncos are looking for tight end and running back help via the trade market. Broncos GM George Paton is somewhat conservative, but he's going to be active when it comes to working the phones to make a deal. |

Rams | Terrance Ferguson ruled out for Sunday at Washington Fri Nov 6, 05:04 PM
The Rams updated TE Terrance Ferguson's status for Sunday's game at the Commanders to out with ankle and hamstring injuries on Friday. Earlier on Friday, Ferguson had been expected to play.
| Footballguys view: Just three hours after ESPN reported that Ferguson would make his return from IR this week, he's been declared out. He reportedly suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's practice. He's worth a stash in deep leagues. And assuming he's back next week, he'll be in the streaming discussion. But managers who have been holding him will need to wait at least one more week, and maybe more. |

Cowboys | 'Optimism' for Jake Ferguson on Cowboys' Friday game status report Fri Nov 6, 03:09 PM
There is "optimism" for Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) ahead of Sunday's game at the Colts, coming out of the team's Friday game status report. Ferguson did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday because of the ankle sprain.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson was the per-game TE31 going into the Week 8 game in which he was injured. The Cowboys have leaned more on three-receiver sets lately, and Ryan Flournoy's emergence has come at Ferguson's expense. Even if he's active, Ferguson isn't startable. And in most leagues, it's hard to even justify rostering him. |

Chiefs | Travis Kelce full Thursday and Friday, no game designation Fri Nov 6, 02:56 PM
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday. He has no game designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Kelce was limited on Wednesday but has logged back-to-back full practices since. Start him as a back-end TE1 against the Jets this week. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid out of red non-contact jersey at Friday practice Fri Nov 6, 02:40 PM
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (chest) was no longer wearing the red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Kincaid had been in the non-contact jersey to start Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid is expected to be a full go this Monday against the Vikings. Kincaid saved his output last week with a garbage-time touchdown. He also had a couple of solid weeks to start the season. However, he's been too volatile to earn the "plug-and-play" tag, and this week's matchup against the Vikings is among the hardest for tight ends. Coupled with the injury, he's a back-end TE1. However, being tied to Josh Allen gives him a better chance of scoring than most. |
