Loveland failed to secure his lone target in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Afte catching both of his targets against Minnesota in the season opener, Loveland was shut out on one target against the Lions. The rookie has seen half of the targets that fellow tight end Cole Kmet has. Loveland may work his way into an expanded role, but he's currently a risky fantasy option.

Kmet caught two passes on four targets for 29 yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Kmet was targeted four times, and the veteran has doubled first-round rookie Colston Loveland's targets in each of the first two games. Although it's possible that Loveland sees his role grow over time, Kmet remains the top tight end for the Bears, though that may not lead to many ceiling performances in an offense that relies heavily on its wide receivers.

Ruckert caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Ruckert caught his first NFL touchdown in his 43rd game. It came on a pass from Tyrod Taylor to cap the scoring with 3:28 remaining in the fourth quarter. Taylor could start in Week 3 against the Buccaneers if Justin Fields (concussion) isn't ready to return, so perhaps Ruckert will have a chance to build on their connection in this game.

Taylor (ankle) caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Taylor suited up after being listed as questionable due to an ankle injury and was one of six Jets to record at least one catch, as Justin Fields (concussion) and Tyrod Taylor combined for only 10 completions. One of Tyrod Taylor's seven connections was a five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeremy Ruckert. Mason Taylor has made just one catch in each of his first two games, but the Jets could lean on him and other pass catchers more if the run-reliant Fields misses time due to his concussion.

Kelce had four receptions on six targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

Kelce led all Kansas City receivers in targets (six) and receiving yards (61), but he was unable to replicate the trip to the end zone that he secured for fantasy managers last week. The 35-year-old did fare better against the Eagles this time around after being held to 39 yards with no touchdowns when these two teams met in Super Bowl LIX this past February. With a thin receiver room due to absences from Rashee Rice (suspension) and Xavier Worthy (shoulder), Kelce remains a focal point on offense for a team struggling out of the gates. The Chiefs will attempt to secure their first win of the season in a road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Gesicki had three catches for 18 yards in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He was tackled inside the one-yard line on the Bengals' final drive.

The addition of Noah Fant has cut into Gesicki's production, as has the emergence of other red zone targets like Mitchell Tinsley, who scored on his lone target Sunday.

Fannin brought in all five targets for 48 yards in the Browns' 41-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

The rookie H-back/tight end tied for the team lead in receptions while finishing a close second to Jerry Jeudy in receiving yards. It was a second consecutive encouraging effort for Fannin to open his NFL career, and his usage through two games, which includes 14 targets and one rush attempt, makes it clear he's already established a solid niche in head coach Kevin Stefanski's offense going into a Week 3 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday afternoon.

Njoku brought in four of five targets for 40 yards in the Browns' 41-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Njoku tied for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards on the afternoon for the Browns. Fellow tight end Harold Fannin still outpaced Njoku by one catch and eight receiving yards, however, although both players saw the same number of targets. It appears each will retain meaningful roles in the offense for the time being, and Njoku will head into a Week 3 home matchup against the Packers with a 7-77-0 receiving line on 11 targets.

Fant had three catches for 28 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.

Through two games, Fant and Mike Gesicki seem to be sharing the tight end pass-catching duties fairly evenly and are frequently on the field at the same time.

LaPorta secured three of four targets for 26 yards in the Lions' 52-21 win over the Bears on Sunday.

LaPorta had led the Lions' pass catchers in the Week 1 loss to the Packers, posting a 6-79-0 line on nine targets. LaPorta's numbers were therefore down across the board Sunday, but Jared Goff spread the ball more than he had against Green Bay. LaPorta's production will inevitably fluctuate from game to game given the number of weapons on Detroit, but he'll remain in play for a Week 3 road showdown against the Ravens on Monday night, Sept. 22 that could be a very tightly contested affair.
