San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Saubert was minimally involved but efficient in the team's passing game during a 27-24 loss to the Rams in Los Angeles. Saubert, filling in for George Kittle (hamstring), did good work in the run-block game and caught two-of-two targets for 41 yards. There are no updates on Kittle's injury at this time, but there are no indications that he's dealing with a multiple-week injury. Even if Kittle were to miss again, it seems likely that Sunday's performance is on the high side of what might be expected from Saubert in Week 4 versus the New England Patriots.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) was activated off the injured reserve and is expected to make his season debut next week. In a corresponding move, the Vikings placed offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw on the injured reserve. Hockenson has been sidelined since the beginning of the season after suffering a torn ACL and MCL last year. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status next week during practice but should be expected to return to action. Before suffering a season-ending injury, the 27-year-old tight end was on pace to enjoy the best season of his career as he caught 95 passes for 960 yards and five scores. He should be viewed as a high-end TE1 for the remainder of the season.
