Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra recorded one reception on two targets for 34 yards in the team's dominant 41-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Calcaterra flashed his ability with a big gain, but his opportunities remain limited in an offense heavily focused on wide receivers DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown. With the receivers commanding the majority of targets, Calcaterra remains a lower option in the passing game and a tough sell as a consistent fantasy contributor. The Eagles wrap up their regular season in Week 18 against the New York Giants, and Calcaterra's role is unlikely to expand significantly.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught five receptions for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, also carrying the ball once for 17 yards on the ground. With seven targets, it was Okonkwo's third straight game leading his team in looks through the air; the rapport with quarterback Mason Rudolph seems as though it's here to stay. While not an especially dazzling performance against a poor Jags defense, it was a solid day for a fantasy tight end, especially on nobody's radar just a month ago. Heading into the final game of the season, Okonkwo has proven to be his QB's favorite option and is faced with a Texans defense allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to tight ends this year.
