Lions TE Brock Wright (neck) is out for Thursday's game vs. the Packers. He'd stepped in as Detroit's lead TE with Sam LaPorta out. Wright's absence leaves the Lions with TEs Anthony Firkser and Ross Dwelley. We wouldn't even mess with this situation in Thanksgiving daily contests.

The Patriots are signing TE Anthony Firkser, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. Firkser had seasons of 34 and 39 catches with the Titans but spent 2022 hauling in just nine passes for the Falcons. He's a depth-only player for New England and likely not a lock to make the regular-season roster. He doesn't impact the fantasy football TE rankings.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 6. His absence leaves Parker Hesse as Atlanta's top TE, with Anthony Firkser behind him. Avoid that situation in fantasy lineups. The Falcons figure to lean on their run game for as long as they can on Sunday. When they do take to the air, WR Drake London should dominate targets.

The Falcons on Tuesday announced that they have signed TE Anthony Firkser. The former Titan never reached 40 receptions in a season across 4 years with Tennessee, and actually saw his receptions per game and yards per catch dip in 2021. We're not expecting fantasy significance from Firkser in Atlanta, where #2 TE Hayden Hurst finished just 37th at the position in PPR scoring last year.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Jets after missing the past 2 games. Firkser could be in for an expanded role in the passing game with WRs A.J. Brown and Julio Jones out, making him an intriguing DFS flier.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) got in a full practice on Wednesday. So he should be back for this weekend's game vs. the Jets -- good news for a Titans offense that might be without both A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. We still wouldn't trust Firkser in season-long lineups, but he could be a sneaky DFS play.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. With Firkser sidelined last week, TE MyCole Pruitt ran 19 routes (40%) and saw 3 targets vs. TE Geoff Swaim’s 17 routes (38%) and 2 targets. Neither is a viable fantasy play.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Colts this weekend. TEs MyCole Pruitt and Geoff Swaim split pass routes with Firkser out last week, leaving both guys without bankable fantasy value.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) is inactive for today’s game against the Seahawks. That leaves Geoff Swaim and MyCole Pruitt as Tennessee’s top TEs.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. Seattle. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but didn’t practice on Friday. Firkser wasn’t a great fantasy option to begin with and certainly isn’t at less than 100%.
