  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Leading receiver on seven targets

    McBride corralled six of seven targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.

    McBride finished as the Cardinals' leading receiver after ceding that honor to WR Marvin Harrison in Week 1. The 25-year-old McBride has racked up six receptions in each of his two starts so far, putting him on pace for another 100-plus reception season following last year's breakout 111-catch campaign. McBride's allergy to the end zone (career high of three TDs in 2023) is what holds him back from breaking the fantasy stratosphere. The Colorado State product is still a PPR monster and a TE1 play against the 49ers next Sunday.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Leads team in targets in OT win

    Ferguson caught nine of 12 targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.

    The tight end led the Cowboys in target volume during a wild seesaw affair and tied CeeDee Lamb for the team lead in receptions, although Lamb out-paced him in yards with 112. Ferguson has re-established himself as the main security blanket for Dak Prescott, and while he's still looking for his first touchdown since he caught three against Green Bay in the wild-card round of the 2023 season, he's delivered a 14-101-0 line on 18 targets through the first two games of the current campaign. Ferguson could hit paydirt in Week 3 against a Bears defense that just gave up a TD to the Lions' Brock Wright, one of five touchdowns thrown by Jared Goff in a 52-21 rout.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Another four-catch outing

    Kincaid caught four of six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Kincaid led the Bills in targets and receiving yards as the passing attack took a back seat to the running game, which produced 224 yards and three touchdowns. The 2023 first-round pick has opened his third NFL campaign with a pair of four-catch performances and should remain involved in Thursday's Week 3 home game against the Dolphins.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Makes impact again in Week 2

    Johnson caught five of nine targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

    For the second straight game Johnson saw impressive volume, finishing second on the Saints in targets behind Chris Olave's 10, and this time the tight end was able to turn one of them into a score as he caught an 18-yard strike from Spencer Rattler inside the final two minutes of the first half. Johnson saw only 66 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2024, but he's already gotten 21 in the first two games of the current campaign, leading to a 13-125-1 line. He could be headed for another big effort in Week 3 against a Seahawks defense that gave up two TDs to San Francisco TEs -- George Kittle (hamstring) and Jake Tonges -- in its opener before allowing a combined 7-58-0 line on eight targets to Steelers tight ends Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth in Week 2.

  • Will Mallory TE | IND

    Colts' Will Mallory: Healthy scratch Week 2

    Mallory (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Mallory will be a healthy scratch for a second straight week, and his next chance to play is Week 3 against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 21. Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree will serve as the Colts' backup tight ends behind rookie first-rounder Tyler Warren.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Will not return Sunday

    Zylstra (ankle) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

    The tight end did not record a stat before exiting earlier in the first half. Detroit still has two tight ends, Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright, ahead of Zylstra on the depth chart.

  • Shane Zylstra TE | DET

    Lions' Shane Zylstra: Questionable to return Sunday

    Zylstra (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

    The tight end did not record a stat before exiting. Zylstra played on 10 special-teams snaps and six offensive snaps in Week 1. He is listed as Detroit's third tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

  • Jelani Woods TE | NYJ

    Jets' Jelani Woods: Healthy scratch again

    Woods (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

    Woods was claimed off waivers by the Jets in late August after failing to make the Colts' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. However, he will be in street clothes as a healthy inactive for a second consecutive week, and his next opportunity to make his Jets debut is Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Sept. 21. Mason Taylor was able to shake off an ankle injury to be cleared to play and will serve as the Jets' starting tight end while Jeremy Ruckert and Stone Smartt serve as the backups.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Won't play against Tennessee

    Parkinson (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Parkinson sprained the AC joint in his shoulder in the first half of the Rams' Week 1 win over the Texans. The injury prevented the 2020 fourth-rounder from practicing all week, and he will observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson serve in depth roles at tight end behind Tyler Higbee. Parkinson's next chance to play is Week 3 against the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 21.

  • Mason Taylor TE | NYJ

    Jets' Mason Taylor: Active for Week 2

    Taylor (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    After not practicing Wednesday, Taylor was limited Thursday and then worked fully Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his Week 2 availability confirmed, the rookie second-rounder -- who recorded an 88 percent snap share in his regular season debut versus Pittsburgh last Sunday - profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option for now after recording just one catch (on his only target) for 20 yards against the Steelers while working in tandem with Jeremy Ruckert (45 percent snap share, two targets).
