Jason Witten set to break all-time games mark for tight ends
When Jason Witten entered the NFL 17 years ago as a third-round pick in Dallas, his famously blunt coach, Bill Parcells, delivered him a simple messageDECEMBER 31, 2020 • Associated Press
Season-high five targets in loss Witten caught two of five targets for 12 yards in Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.
Impact Witten's five targets more than doubled his previous season high, but his 2.4 yards per target made for a forgettable performance while No. 1 tight end Darren Waller caught five passes for 112 yards. Having been eliminated from the playoff race, the Raiders might finally decide to give a handful of Witten's ineffective reps to Foster Moreau behind Waller in Week 17 against the Broncos.

Spectates Waller's big day Witten failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.
Impact Witten's involvement in the Raiders' aerial attack has been nearly nonexistent lately with just three total targets throughout the Raiders' past five games, while also logging less than 20 offensive snaps in back-to-back contests. Fellow tight end Darren Waller erupted for 200 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns on 13 receptions Sunday, combating the offense's struggles on the ground. Witten may be tasked with providing additional run-block support Week 14 after the Raiders averaged just 2.9 yards per carry on 25 rush attempts against the Jets.

Travis Kelce continues torrid streak as Chiefs keep winning
It’s a good thing that Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce doesn’t spend much time dwelling on gaudy individual statisticsDECEMBER 7, 2020 • Associated Press
Limited to 17 snaps in blowout loss Witten was not targeted during Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Falcons.
Impact Witten has been targeted no more than twice in a single contest all season, so his lack of involvement on a day the Raiders needed to air it out came as no surprise. The veteran tight end should factor back into the mix primarily as a run blocker Week 13 against the Jets.

Late touchdown not enough Witten caught a one-yard touchdown pass on his only target in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Witten's clutch touchdown reception put the Raiders ahead with less than two minutes left in the contest, but Las Vegas was ultimately unable to keep Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes from constructing a game-winning drive. Witten's offensive snap share surpassed the 50-percent mark Sunday, but fellow tight end Darren Waller led the unit in receiving again with seven catches on as many targets for 88 yards and a score. Witten figures to provide a run-blocking presence again in Week 12 against the Falcons.

Logs 38 snaps in Cleveland Witten caught two passes on as many targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Browns.
Impact Witten was the Raiders' third-leading receiver Sunday as windy conditions limited all of Las Vegas' pass-catchers to under 30 yards each. Fellow tight end Darren Waller led the way with five catches for 28 yards on six targets, though Witten tied his season high with 38 offensive snaps while providing additional support as a run blocker.

Contributes pair of receptions in upset victory Witten caught both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chiefs.
Impact Witten logged a season-high 38 offensive snaps, but the veteran was limited to just 3.0 yards per reception. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Darren Waller continued to shine with a team-high five catches on seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. Witten remains ahead of 2019 fourth-rounder Foster Moreau in the pecking order, however.

Makes touchdown grab in loss Witten caught two passes on as many targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.
Impact Witten hauled in his first touchdown as a Raider with time winding down in the second quarter to make it a one-score game heading into halftime. The 38-year-old would ultimately be overshadowed by fellow tight end Darren Waller, however, as the latter secured nine of 12 targets for 88 yards. Witten has seen the field for at least 25 percent of Las Vegas' offensive snaps in all four games to this point.
