Trautman caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Thursday's 20-13 win over the Chiefs.

Trautman played 52 of the Broncos' 72 offensive snaps Thursday, once again playing the most snaps at tight end. Teammates Evan Engram and Marcedes Lewis played 22 and 15 snaps, respectively. Engram paced the position group in targets (4) as Denver's preferred pass-catching tight end. Meanwhile the 28-year-old Trautman continued to operate as a blocking specialist. The veteran's limited opportunities keep him far off the fantasy radar each week. Next up for the Broncos is a Week 18 matchup against the Chargers.

Engram caught all four of his targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 20-13 win over the Chiefs.

Engram continued his role as the Broncos' No. 1 pass-catching tight end, but he was unable to get much going against the Chiefs. The 31-year-old played 22 of Denver's 72 offensive snaps, behind blocking specialist Adam Trautman (52). Engram's limited playing time and inefficient production make him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The veteran will look to bounce back with a strong performance Week 18 when the Broncos host the Chargers in the regular season finale.

Williams (foot) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens due to an illness.

Williams missed three games earlier in the season due to a foot injury but was cleared to play against the Bears in Week 16. He's now battling through an illness that puts him in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game. Bo Melton (illness) and Emanuel Wilson would likely serve as the Packers' kick returners if Williams is unable to play.

Adams (hamstring) didn't practice Friday.

Adams followed up Thursday's listing of DNP with an actual absence one day later, giving him just one more chance to mix into drills this week before the Rams potentially make a ruling on his status for Monday's game in Atlanta. Coach San McVay previously told Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com that Adams isn't expected to play Week 17, so Adams getting ruled out Saturday seems more likely than not at this juncture.

Firkser failed to reel in his only target in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.

Firkser was unable to secure a pass for the second time in three weeks and the third time over six contests since making his season debut Nov. 23. The tight end once again split time with Shane Zylstra in Week 17, and Firkser did garner a target while Zylstra did not. Firkser will have one more chance to reach the end zone for the first time since 2021 when the Lions travel to face the Bears in Week 18.

Mostert (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Mostert was listed as a DNP for the first two practices of Week 17 prep due to ankle and knee injuries, but the veteran running back was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday to earn the questionable tag for Sunday's home game. If Mostert is unable to play, then Tre Tucker and Dylan Laube would be the main returners on kickoffs. Laube and Zamir White would also be in line for more rotational snaps out of the backfield behind Ashton Jeanty.

Zylstra did not garner a target in Thursday's 23-10 loss to Minnesota.

Zylstra went without a target for the second time in three games since returning from injured reserve. The tight end maintained a slight lead in offensive workload over Anthony Firkser, logging 42 offensive snaps to Firkser's 35, though the latter did garner a target. Zylstra will look to finish off the regular season on a higher note when Detroit heads to Chicago in Week 18.

Cracraft reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Friday.

Cracraft made his regular-season debut Thursday, logging a single special-teams snap as a gunner. Now back on the practice squad, the wide receiver is eligible to be elevated for the Commanders' Week 18 contest against the Eagles.

Bech (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bech was a late addition to Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a back issue, which puts the rookie second-rounder in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. His fantasy output has been inconsistent for most of the season, but he has been more involved in the Raiders offense as of late, accumulating 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 132 yards over Las Vegas' last four games. Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman, Dont'e Thornton and Shedrick Jackson would be in line for more snaps on offense if Bech is ruled out for Week 17.

TeSlaa caught three of four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.

TeSlaa was able to reach pay dirt for the second straight game and fourth time in five contests, securing a four-yard score in the second quarter. The wide receiver now has reeled in 15 of 26 targets for 221 yards and six touchdowns over 16 contests in his rookie campaign. TeSlaa appears to be a significant red-zone threat at the professional level, and he'll be a guy to keep an eye on in 2026.
