Bills | Charles Clay week-to-week Mon Oct 16, 03:11 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Charles Clay (knee) is considered week-to-week because of his knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Clay was thought to miss a month with this knee injury. That would still be at least a couple of weeks away from him getting back onto the field for the Bills. Fantasy owners have already had to make other plans at the position. |

Broncos | Two Broncos to practice Mon Oct 16, 11:47 AM
Denver Broncos LB Shane Ray (wrist) and TE Jake Butt (knee) will return to practice this week.
| Footballguys view: Ray's return will boost the Broncos defense as he'll start opposite superstar LB Von Miller. Butt is arguably the best TE on the roster, but the team will likely ease him into action when he's cleared to play. |

Texans | Ryan Griffin posts 52 yards Sun Oct 15, 05:46 PM
Houston Texans TE Ryan Griffin hauled in three receptions for 52 yards on a game-high eight targets in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: The Browns matchup vs. tight ends still gave up a lot of yards and a two-point conversion, but it was split between Griffin and Stephen Anderson. Delanie Walker should be great against them next week. |

Jets | Austin Seferian-Jenkins finds end zone Sun Oct 15, 05:20 PM
New York Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught eight passes for 46 yards and one touchdown against the New England Patriots in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Seferian-Jenkins should have had two touchdowns, but the officials inexplicably overturned a good touchdown. He's been a top five fantasy tight end in PPR leagues and should be a good option next week against the Dolphins. |

Patriots | Rob Gronkowski catches two TDs Sun Oct 15, 04:46 PM
New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski caught six passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Gronkowski bounced back for a huge day after he missed Week 5. He also drew a pass interference penalty that set up the Patriots touchdown he didn't score. He's clearly fantasy's #1 tight end heading into a Super Bowl rematch with Atlanta. |

| Footballguys view: Samaje Perine will get the start with Kelley out. He's a solid flex play and reasonable RB2 in a pinch against the porous 49ers defense. |

Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (back), who is out for the year, will be a free agent after this season, and Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer believes Eifert has played his last game for the franchise.
| Footballguys view: Eifert has the feel of a player who will never be the same and has peaked in his NFL career, although he's still rosterable in dynasty leagues until we see what happens with his career next year. |

Patriots | Rob Gronkowski says he will play Fri Oct 13, 08:02 PM
New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (thigh) said he will be able to play against the New York Jets in Week 6 even though he is listed as questionable for the game.
| Footballguys view: That's been the plan for some time now. Gronkowski missed last week's game against the Buccaneers, but he should go against the Jets. If he's playing, then he's in your fantasy lineup as a TE1. |

49ers | Week 6 injury report for 49ers Fri Oct 13, 07:11 PM
San Francisco 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk (back) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 13, and has been ruled out for Week 6. S Adrian Colbert (hamstring), LB Reuben Foster (ankle), FS Eric Reid (knee), LB Dekoda Watson (groin) and CB Ahkello Witherspoon (concussion) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. LB Ray Ray Armstrong (shoulder), WR Pierre Garcon (non-injury), DT D.J. Jones (back), TE George Kittle (chest), DT Earl Mitchell (knee), OT Joe Staley (non-injury) and SS Jimmie Ward (shoulder) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Foster is chomping at the bit to get back on the field and the release of Navorro Bowman indicates that he'll be ready to go this week. Reid is close to a return from a knee injury to fill the Kam Chancellor box safety role in this defense. The return of both would bolster a sagging run defense. |

49ers | George Kittle should play Fri Oct 13, 07:06 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (chest) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Kittle has been coming on over the last two weeks (nine receptions), but last week against the Colts he had his breakout game with seven catches for 83 yards and a touchdown. He could continue this hot streak against a banged up Washington pass defense that has allowed the third most points this season to opposing tight ends. |

CB Sterling Moore (pectoral), RB Trey Edmunds (concussion) and TE Josh Hill (concussion) practiced in full and were removed from the injury reports.
| Footballguys view: Snead has said that the team has told him he will be eased back in, so he's not a suitable play this week. If Armstead can return, it will be a big boost to the Saints pass blocking after they started a rookie at left tackle in his absence. |

All six players were removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Kelce being removed from the injury report means you can start him with confidence. Hill is also good to go after a hamstring scare earlier in the week. |
