Re-signs with Houston
The Texans re-signed Auclair on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Auclair will return to Houston for a second straight season. The veteran tight end appeared in 16 contests during the 2021 campaign, across which span he secured all five of his targets for 47 yards and one score.

Catches lone target Week 18
Auclair caught his lone target for seven yards in Week 18's 28-25 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: This was just Auclair's second catch since Week 9, and he finished the season with five catches on five targets for 47 yards and one score. He played all 16 games, sometimes starting, but the 28-year-old was used primarily as a blocker. He becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason but could return on a modest contract to serve a similar role in 2022.

Returns from reserve/COVID-19 list
Auclair was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: The 28-year-old was forced to miss Week 17 after being placed on the COVID list Dec. 31. Auclair has had a limited offensive impact this season, making only four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown over 15 games.

Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list
Auclair was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus.
Analysis: Auclair is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season, but it's still possible that he is available for the Texans' Week 17 matchup against San Francisco. Though he consistently receives snaps, Auclair has earned only four targets this season.

Untargeted in win
Auclair was not targeted in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: It was a typical game for Auclair, who played 31 percent of the offensive snaps, which is right at his season average of 31.5 percent. He also went untargeted for the 11th time in 14 games. There's little chance the Texans get him more involved as a receiver over the final few weeks, as they are focused on developing rookie Brevin Jordan.

Has red-zone target in loss
Auclair caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Auclair was targeted in the red zone, his second such target of the season, but Seattle's defense stopped him from reaching the end zone. He's caught four of four targets for 40 yards with one touchdown in 2021. If any of the players in the tight end mix have fantasy worth, it's rookie Brevin Jordan who caught his third touchdown of the season and was targeted seven times Sunday.

Leads tight ends in loss
Auclair caught two of two targets for 23 yards and led all Houston tight ends with 36 snaps in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Miami.
Analysis: That was a season-high snap count for Auclair, who stepped into the role normally filled by Pharaoh Brown (thigh). Of the team's three healthy tight ends, Auclair is the best blocker, which should keep him on the field and active while Brown is out. The targets/catches were his first since Week 5, however.

Surprises with TD
Auclair caught his lone target for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Auclair, who has played all five games this season because of his blocking ability, was a target for the first time in 2021. This was also his first career touchdown. Houston's quarterback situation isn't conducive to producing much fantasy value for receivers, so Auclair shouldn't be viewed as a worthy addition to any fantasy lineup, especially considering he is behind both Jordan Akins and Pharaoh Brown in terms of snaps and targets.

Joins active roster
The Texans signed Auclair from their practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Auclair has been elevated for both games this season and provided value as a stout run-blocking tight end. With Tyrod Taylor and Nico Collins on IR, Auclair likely will have a spot on the active roster for the next few weeks.

Back to practice squad
Auclair (eye) has reverted back to the Texans' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Auclair got knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Browns after suffering an eye injury. He played in just two offensive snaps without recording any stats before exiting.

Won't come back Sunday
Auclair (eye) has been declared out of Sunday's game against the Browns, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Auclair's absence leaves the Texans' tight-end group thin. It's down to Pharaoh Brown and Jordan Akins for the rest of the contest.

Questionable to return Sunday
Auclair (eye) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Browns.
Analysis: Auclair has been elevated from the practice squad before each of the first two games of the season. He hasn't recorded a catch in his limited action, as he has mostly been relegated to blocking duties. The severity of the injury is unknown.

Moved up again
Auclair was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Auclair surprisingly was listed as the team's starting tight end Week 1 alongside Pharaoh Brown. No Houston tight end actually recorded a catch in that contest as the aforementioned duo was simply relegated to blocking duties. That might change with a difficult Week 2 matchup against the Browns on tap.

Reverts to practice squad
Auclair reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Auclair was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's season opener and started for the Texans, but he didn't draw any targets in the win. He'll return to the practice squad following his disappointing performance against Jacksonville but could rejoin the active roster at some point this year.

Starts Sunday
Auclair started but was not targeted in Sunday's 37-21 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Auclair was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster a day prior to the regular-season opener and added to the starting lineup along with Pharaoh Brown. Both are considered good blocking tight ends, and the Texans plan to be a run-heavy team, so his presence makes sense. Jordan Akins and rookie Brevin Jordan (inactive, coach's decision) do not bring the same level of blocking acumen. It's very likely Auclair, who played played 33 snaps (42 percent), will not have a significant role…read more

Elevated from practice squad
Auclair was elevated from the Texans' practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Jaguars, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Auclair will provide depth at tight end in Sunday's season opener. He recorded just one reception for 11 yards in 16 appearances across the last two seasons with the Buccaneers.

Dropped by Texans
Auclair was released by Houston on Tuesday.
Analysis: Auclair entered a fairly wide open tight end race when he signed with the Texans during the off-season. However, it looks like he failed to make enough of an impression with the team during his time there. The 28-year-old is now set to look for a new landing spot.

Signing with Texans
Auclair is signing a contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It appears to be pretty much anyone's ballgame for the starting tight end job in Houston following the release of veteran starter Darren Fells this offseason. Auclair saw the majority of his reps on special teams last year in Tampa Bay and failed to catch his lone target on the season. Perhaps a change of scenery can jolt the fifth-year pro's career.

Another quiet season in '20
Auclair failed to bring in his only target over eight games during the 2020 regular season, logging 70 snaps overall from scrimmage and another 83 on special teams.
Analysis: The fourth-year pro mostly toiled in anonymity again in 2020, arguably more so than in his first three seasons, when he at least got on the board with a minimum of one reception. Auclair's snap counts on both offense and special teams were both career lows, and when he was in uniform, it was for his solid run-blocking and special teams play. The depth chart simply got too steep for Auclair to navigate this past season, as Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate proved capable of handling pass-catching…read more

Sits down for Week 15
Auclair (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.
Analysis: Tanner Hudson gets the gameday nod over Auclair, providing depth at the tight end position behind Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate. Auclair garnered his second start of the season last Sunday in a win over Minnesota, fielding 14 offensive snaps. The 27-year-old has been a nonfactor in the passing game throughout 2020, as he remains without a catch on one target this season.

Boost in snap share without results
Auclair logged a season-high 25 snaps from scrimmage but did not record any statistics in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Auclair also played an additional 14 snaps on special teams, making it a busy afternoon for the fourth-year tight end. The 27-year-old's above-average run blocking is likely to continue to guarantee him active status, but he's highly unlikely to see any targets as long as Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate remain healthy in front of him.

Minimal role on offense
Auclair logged four snaps on offense without a target in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Analysis: The blocking tight end was active for the second straight week as the No. 4 option at the position, but he unsurprisingly served exclusively as an extra blocker for the ground attack. Auclair's role when active should continue to closely mirror that of Sunday night's, presently making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats absent multiple injuries at the position.

Three snaps in return
Auclair (calf), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, played three snaps from scrimmage and another nine on special teams in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.
Analysis: The big tight end had an unsurprisingly small role on offense, as the Buccaneers kept four players at the position active. Auclair may usurp Tanner Hudson for the No. 3 tight end spot on some weeks moving forward, but that slotting isn't expected to equate to any meaningful fantasy production.

Back from IR
The Buccaneers activated Auclair (calf) from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Auclair has practiced for two weeks and will return to the lineup for Monday's game versus the Giants. The 27-year-old tight end didn't play an offensive snap in the only game he suited up this year, and he'll likely stick to special teams upon returning to the lineup since Rob Gronkowski, Cameron Brate and Tanner Hudson all have secured roles.

Nearing return to action
The Buccaneers designated Auclair (calf) for return Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction page.
Analysis: Auclair has been out since Week 2 when he suffered the calf injury in a win over the Panthers. The team will need to officially activate him in order for Auclair to suit up, but this news confirms that the Laval product will return in the next three weeks. The Buccaneers could use the depth at tight end since O.J. Howard was ruled out for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Nearing return to action
Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Auclair (calf) is "close" to a return but may not be ready for Thursday's game versus the Bears, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Auclair is eligible to return to practice this week and could play in Thursday's matchup, but it sounds like he'll likely sit out another week before potentially returning in Week 6 against the Packers. The Buccaneers could use the depth at tight end since O.J. Howard is expected to be done for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Placed on IR
Auclair (calf) was placed on IR on Friday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Auclair has already been ruled out of Sunday's game against Carolina, and this move ensures that he will miss at least two additional contests. The depth tight end could return as early as Week 5 against Chicago on Thursday Night Football.

Won't play Sunday
Auclair (calf) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
Analysis: Auclair missed the last two practices of the week and will watch from the sidelines during Sunday's divisional bout. The 27-year-old TE is buried on the depth chart anyway and played strictly on special teams in the season opener.

Misses Thursday's practice
Auclair (calf) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Auclair began the week as a limited participant, so Thursday's complete lack of activity could indicate that he's suffered a setback in his recovery. Of course, Auclair only contributed on special teams Week 1, so if he's forced to sit out Sunday's game against the Panthers, it won't have a noticeable impact on Tampa Bay's offense.

Re-ups with Tampa
Auclair agreed to a one-year deal with the Buccaneers on Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Auclair had just one catch in eight games last season, but in 2020 he'll continue to provide the Bucs' tight end corps with depth and blocking prowess.

Heads to IR
The Buccaneers placed Auclair (toe) on injured reserve Tuesday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: The move ends the 26-year-old's season, as the team needed to make room for newly signed outside linebacker Sam Acho. The blocking specialist drew only three targets in eight games, catching one pass for 11 yards.

Managing turf toe
Auclair suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's loss at Seattle, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Auclair saw season-high snap counts in each of the past two weeks and caught his first pass of the season for 11 yards Sunday. The 26-year-old would likely have returning to a reduced role with O.J. Howard (hamstring) expected to return Week 10 regardless, but he'll now be in danger of missing games.
