Henry caught two of three targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets.

Henry scored from one yard out in the final minute of the first half, bobbling the ball in the back of the end zone but ultimately securing possession. He has found the end zone in each of his last four games, and Henry could see a bump in volume if fellow tight end Jonnu Smith -- who exited early with a shoulder injury -- is unable to suit up Week 8 against the Chargers.

Horsted failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Aside from a two-yard touchdown reception two weeks ago, Horsted doesn't have another catch on the year, and unless he moves up the Chicago depth chart, it's unlikely he'll have much fantasy value.

James caught three passes for 20 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

James took over the second tight-end role with Jimmy Graham (COVID-19) sitting this one out, but he had most of his production when the game was well out of hand. Stuck in an anemic Chicago passing attack while not being the lead tight end, James has limited fantasy upside.

Hockenson (knee) caught six passes for 48 yards on nine targets against the Rams on Sunday.

The Rams were well aware that the Lions would try to feed Hockenson in this one and prepared accordingly, including setting elite corner Jalen Ramsey against Hockenson at times. Although Hockenson's efficiency was lacking Sunday and the struggles of quarterback Jared Goff might make that an ongoing risk, the nine-target usage for Hockenson is rather encouraging. It wasn't an easy matchup for Hockenson, yet the ball headed his way often. He'll face the Eagles in Week 8.

Kmet caught five passes for 43 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Kmet wasn't a factor until he collected a few catches once the game was out of hand in the second half, and he led the team in all receiving categories, including six targets. He's posted at least 40 yards in back-to-back games and a total of three times on the season, and he's beginning to emerge as a streaming option at tight end.

Seals-Jones caught six passes on seven targets for 51 yards against Green Bay on Sunday.

Seals-Jones wasn't explosive with his seven targets, averaging just 8.5 yards per reception, but he was an efficient security blanket target in a game during which Taylor Heinicke struggled to get the ball to anyone other than Seals-Jones and Terry McLaurin. Seals-Jones has shown the ability to provide useful fantasy production if he gets enough snaps, particularly with the injuries Washington has dealt with at receiver, but it's possible that Logan Thomas (hamstring) could return soon. Seals-Jones is unlikely to play regularly upon Thomas' return.

Andrews caught three of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bengals.

Andrews cooled off after finding the end zone three times over the previous two games. He posted his lowest yardage total since Week 1, and Andrews' three catches tied his season low from the opener. The standout tight end should bounce back after Baltimore's Week 8 bye.

Gesicki recorded seven of eight targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-28 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

The fourth-year tight end co-led the Dolphins in receptions and targets while pacing the team in receiving yards. Gesicki recorded his second touchdown of the year in the latter portion of the third quarter, bringing in a six-yard scoring toss from Tua Tagovailoa with 5:18 remaining in the period. This was yet another encouraging performance from Gesicki after he'd posted an 8-115 line on nine targets against the Jaguars in London in Week 6, and he'll look to keep the momentum going in a tough Week 8 road battle against the Bills.

Kelce recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.

Kelce drew double-digit targets for the fourth time in his last five games and also led the team. However, the offense was out of sync for large portions of the game, so he finished under 100 receiving yards for the fourth consecutive contest. Kelce's longest gain of the day went for 17 yards, with his only other double-digit pickup going for 11 yards. While he hasn't put together massive performances regularly this season, Kelce has still managed at least six receptions in all but one contest on the campaign.

Tonyan caught four receptions on five targets for 63 yards and one touchdown against Washington on Sunday.

Tonyan had largely disappeared from the box score for a month straight, catching just six receptions for 32 yards on 13 targets in the prior four games, so his reemergence against Washington was encouraging to see. Tonyan will likely remain a low-volume target like he was in 2020, but a game like this is a reminder that he doesn't necessarily need much target volume to be useful as long as his yards per target and touchdowns per target approach his 2020 levels. The Packers could find themselves in a shootout in their Week 8 game against Arizona on Thursday, and if so that might be a viable setting for Tonyan to stay involved two weeks in a row.
