Moreau caught two of three targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Steelers.

Moreau wasn't targeted in the Raiders' Week 1 overtime win over the Ravens despite playing 46 offensive snaps, but he found the end zone during the third quarter Sunday on a nine-yard pass from quarterback Derek Carr. Moreau will likely remain touchdown dependent with fellow tight end Darren Waller headlining the offense, but the former has been on the field for more than 50 percent of the Raiders' offensive plays through two games.

Hockenson caught eight of nine targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 35-17 loss to the Packers.

Hockenson led the Lions in all major receiving categories, with his night highlighted by an eight-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone during the second quarter. The third-year pro has now scored in consecutive games to begin this season, catching eight passes in both outings as well. Amid Detroit's underwhelming receiving corps, Hockenson's consistency and volume in the passing game makes him a rather valuable commodity at tight end. He'll look to keep his strong form going in Week 3 versus the Ravens.

Tonyan caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 35-17 win over the Lions.

Tonyan started his performance with a 19-yard gain on a screen pass. He later gave the Packers the lead as the beneficiary of a 22-yard laser from Aaron Rodgers, scoring a touchdown down the seam. With a couple forced coverage penalties and another screen-pass gain afterward, Tonyan turned in a display reminiscent of his breakout 2020 campaign, giving him good momentum ahead of Week 3's trip to San Francisco.

Hudson reverted back to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.

Hudson was promoted to the Titans' active roster prior to Week 2 to provide depth at tight end. He ended up playing 21 offensive snaps, as well as seven on special teams. In the process, he recorded one catch for 14 yards on two targets.

Knox caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins, including an eight-yard touchdown.

The TD gives Knox his second decent fantasy day of the young season, at least in terms pertaining to depth tight ends. Teams seem to be covering stud wideouts Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley a bit more aggressively than last season, so the Bills found success Sunday using secondary options such as Knox and Devin Singletary. For the second straight week, Knox was the only Buffalo tight end to catch a pass, and he was on the field for 83 percent of the offensive snaps.

Deguara (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Deguara was considered doubtful for Monday's contest after sitting out practice all week, so it's not a surprise to see him on the inactive list. Dominique Dafney will serve as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.

The Eagles placed Ertz (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

Ertz will need to clear league protocols for COVID-19 before returning to team facilities or game action, so his status will need to be monitored ahead of next Monday's divisional matchup in Dallas. The veteran tight end hasn't done much through the first two weeks of the season, and he had just one catch for six yards on two targets during Sunday's 17-11 loss to the 49ers. If Ertz were to miss time, the most notable fantasy consequence could simply be that Dallas Goedert projects for a larger workload.

Engram (calf) is participating in drills Monday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

The Giants aren't hosting a full padded practice Monday, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see Engram handling drills after he was listed as a non-participant in every practice during the first two weeks of the season. The tight end will continue to ramp up his workload with a possible eye toward making his season debut versus the Falcons in Week 3.

Hurst caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 48-25 loss to Tampa Bay.

Hurst nearly matched the stat line of high-profile rookie Kyle Pitts in the latter's NFL debut last week, but Pitts didn't take long to pull away as Atlanta's go-to pass-catcher at the position, leading the team with 73 receiving yards in this one. Few No. 2 tight ends provide much fantasy value, and Hurst is unlikely to be an exception.

Conklin had two receptions for 15 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Arizona.

Conklin played 49 snaps on offense and went out for passes on 23 snaps (after playing 59 snaps and running 38 routes Week 1). He's the Vikings' clear top tight end, but he has a small role in the passing game as the Vikings have more prominently featured a third receiver (K.J. Osborn) more than previous seasons in the passing game. Conklin eventually could find more of a red-zone role with his size (6-foot-3).
