Buccaneers | Cameron Brate scores two times Sun Dec 9, 08:03 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cameron Brate had just two catches for 12 yards in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints, but both were good for touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: Winston to Brate has been money in the red zone at times before and it was again today. Winston played poorly in the second half, so we still don't have a great feeling about Brate against the Ravens next week. |

Browns | David Njoku finishes with three grabs Sun Dec 9, 05:25 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku posted three catches for 35 yards on four targets in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers.
| Footballguys view: Njoku was in the middle of his modest range of outcomes and didn't help fantasy teams this week, but he could still be a viable streamer next week against the Denver defense that George Kittle tore apart this week. |

Panthers | Ian Thomas steps up in road loss Sun Dec 9, 04:44 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas posted a game highs with nine receptions and 11 targets in the Week 14 road loss against the Cleveland Browns, finishing with 77 yards.
| Footballguys view: Cam Newton's compromised shoulder made it more difficult for him to throw downfield, so just like after Greg Olsen left last week, the rookie tight end was a frequent target. He'll be worth a playoff streamer start against the Saints defense that gave up two scores to Cameron Brate today. |

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski caught eight passes for 107 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

| Footballguys view: Anderson and Crowell should play but both have unfavorable matchups at Buffalo this week. The Jets offense will get Sam Darnold back this week, but the Bills defense destroyed them in Week 10 and they are the best D/ST play in this AFC Least matchup. |

DL Denico Autry (back) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 7, and is listed as questionable. WR T.Y. Hilton (shoulder), DT Margus Hunt (knee) and CB Christopher Milton (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday and are listed as questionable.

TE Erik Swoope (knee) was limited in practice Friday but was also not included on the injury report. TE Eric Ebron (back, illness) and WR Chester Rogers (groin) were full participants in practice Friday and have been removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Autry had a massive impact last week with three sacks and two forced fumbles. He would be greatly missed against Deshaun Watson if he can't go with Margus Hunt also ailing. Kelly will be missed on the offensive line against the Texans strong pass rush. The Colts are far from full strength for this pivotal game. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Daurice Fountain was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Friday, Dec. 7. TE Clive Walford was waived in a corresponding move. The Colts also signed QB Phillip Walker back to the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: This move is probably more about Dontrelle Inman being out than TY Hilton being a game-time decision. Fountain was actually drafted ahead of camp star Deon Cain and was getting praise for his work on the practice squad. He's worth monitoring in deep dynasty leagues. |

| Footballguys view: Engram is a low ceiling TE1 this week against Washington, but there is always risk of reinjury in the first week back from a hamstring issue. Rhett Ellison goes back to the waiver wire. |
