The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran tight end C.J. Uzomah on Wednesday. The Eagles signed Uzomah to a one-year pact in April and with the competition in camp, felt it necessary to cut the journeyman loose to free agency. Uzomah spent the last two seasons with the New York Jets after eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. Playing sparingly for the Jets last season, Uzomah managed just eight receptions on 12 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown grab. The Eagles' depth chart at tight end comprises Dallas Goedert, Albert Okwuegbunam, and Grant Calcaterra.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught three passes for just six yards but managed to find the end zone twice in the Lions' 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. LaPorta's touchdowns were crucial for both the Lions' victory and his fantasy output, tying his second-highest fantasy performance of the season. While the volume left much to be desired, his red zone involvement keeps him as a streamable option moving forward. LaPorta will look to retain his scoring streak when Detroit hosts the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.
