Cole Kmet Injury Update

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (knee) is officially questionable to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. The veteran is dealing with a knee injury, but head coach Matt Eberflus said he has a positive outlook heading into Sunday.

If he starts, he has TE1 upside against an Atlanta Falcons defense that has been generous to tight ends. If he can't play, Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan are candidates to see more targets.

Hunter Henry Injury Update

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is officially questionable to play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. He had been limited in practice all week long after missing his first game of the season last Sunday versus the Denver Broncos. At this point, it appears that Henry will be a game-time decision for New England's second-to-last divisional clash of the 2023 season.

Given that Bailey Zappe has thrown four touchdowns to tight ends over his last three games, there's a real chance that Henry could have appeal as a fantasy TE1 if active this week. Managers invested in his availability should stay tuned for the Patriots' official inactives list on Sunday morning.

Luke Musgrave Injury Update

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) is listed as doubtful to be activated from Injured Reserve to play in Sunday night's game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The Packers designated Musgrave to return from Injured Reserve this week and he got back to a few limited practices, but he's not expected to play this weekend and might also be kept out for the Week 18 regular season finale next Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

With Musgrave and receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) doubtful to play against the Vikings and with rookie wideouts Jayden Reed (toe) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) up in the air to play, rookie tight end Tucker Kraft could see his fair share of targets in Week 17, putting him on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy.
