- Julius Thomas missed last week's game and wasn't practicing on Wednesday. His situation will be one to monitor all week, as Denver prepares for the Sunday nighter with the Chiefs. Jacob Tamme is a touchdown-dependent replacement.
- In a tough year for fantasy tight ends, Delanie Walker is emerging as one of the better options outside of the elite three. Walker had 155 yards in last week's loss to the Eagles, marking the second time he's eclipsed 140 yards in a game this season. The Titans are often trailing, forcing them to throw and Walker's schedule is favorable the rest of the year.
- Jordan Cameron is practicing this week and could suit up for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 8. If he does, he could return to a much more dangerous Browns offense, with the running game finding it's stride and Josh Gordon back in the lineup. Cameron has plenty of upside for the last month of the fantasy season.
- Dwayne Allen didn't practice Wednesday, and the team is calling him day-to-day. If he can go versus Washington, he'll be a low-end TE1 thanks to his scoring potential. If he misses Week 13, Coby Fleener will move up a few spots.
- Larry Donnell's targets and production have dropped off and with players like Cameron, Allen, and even Jordan Reed potentially returning to action, Donnell is sliding down the tight end rankings. His matchup with Jacksonville should be a game he can excel in, but it's tough to trust him at this point.
