Ertz recorded four receptions on four targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

Ertz remained one of Jayden Daniels' (arm) more reliable targets, as he led the team in yards while finishing second in targets and receptions. He logged a pair of receptions on Washington's first possession that went for 17 yards, and he also tallied a long 25-yard catch on the Commanders' opening drive of the second half. Ertz's outlook moving forward is complicated by the likely absence of Daniels, as he has only nine receptions for 78 yards combined across Marcus Mariota's three starts this season.

Higbee recorded three receptions on four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Saints.

Higbee opened up the scoring for the Rams as he got wide open on a play-action fake for a one-yard score. He faded to the background of the offense thereafter, though he does have at least four targets in five of his last six games. Higbee is touchdown dependent, however, as he's been held below 30 yards in all but two contests on the campaign.

Kincaid hauled in all six of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.

Sunday's production tied Kincaid's previous season highs in targets and receptions from a six-catch, 108-yard outing against the Patriots in Week 5. The 25-year-old was able to tack on his fourth receiving touchdown of the season in the win over the Chiefs, culminating in his finest fantasy performance to date in 2025. Kincaid upped his season line to 27-411-4 through seven appearances, with a couple of low-usage games holding him back from a true breakout season. Kincaid will look to carry the momentum from Sunday's showing into a road matchup against the Dolphins in Week 10.

Kelce finished with four receptions on five targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to Buffalo.

Kelce finished right around the single-game averages of 4.6 receptions and 59.3 yards that he entered Sunday's contest with, highlighting the consistent production the aging superstar has provided in fantasy this season. The 35-year-old enters Kansas City's Week 10 bye with a solid 41-540-3 receiving line through nine starts, putting him on pace to finish with his first 1,000-yard campaign since 2022. It is worth noting that Kelce was evaluated for a concussion at halftime, but he was cleared for the second half and finished without any reported setbacks. Kelce and the Chiefs will attempt to get back into the win column in a road tilt against the Broncos on Nov. 16.

Gadsden recorded five receptions on five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

Justin Herbert distributed targets extremely evenly among all of his top pass catchers, including Gadsden. Even so, Gadsden narrowly led the team in receiving yards, thanks primarily to a long 34-yard catch that came just short of the end zone. This was the fourth consecutive game that Gadsden has had at least five receptions and 65 receiving yards, and he's quickly become a reliable starting tight end in all formats.

Hill compiled zero targets during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams. He also rushed four times for 30 yards.

Hill logged a team high and a season high in rushing yards, though nearly all of those yards came on his game-long 29-yard carry in the first quarter. The 35-year-old's final touch came when he was stopped for a one-yard loss on fourth down in the red zone. The Saints' offense has been extremely inefficient all season, and things didn't improve with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough making his first career start versus Los Angeles. Hill's lack of consistent touches and the continued struggles of this offense should continue to limit his production. New Orleans will next face off with the division-rival Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

Johnson recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 31 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-10 loss versus the Rams.

Johnson hauled in the lone passing touchdown from rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who made his first career start for the Saints. This was the tight end's first touchdown since Week 2, and he tied with Chris Olave for the team's second-most targets behind WR2 Rashid Shaheed (nine). New Orleans' offense has been one of the worst-performing units in the NFL this season, but Johnson is on pace for the most productive campaign of his six-year career. Through nine games, he is just 11 catches and 149 receiving yards shy of his career-best marks from last year. The Saints next face the divisional-rival Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

Warren recorded five receptions on seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers.

Warren saw a normal amount of opportunity in the loss, though that was less impressive considering Daniel Jones took to the air 50 times. The bigger problem was Warren's lack of downfield targets, as his longest gain went for only nine yards. That led to the lowest yardage output of Warren's impressive rookie season, though he's still earned at least four receptions in all but one game on the campaign.

Bowers (knee) corralled 12 of 13 targets for 127 yards and three touchdowns while gaining six yards off of one carry in Sunday's 30-29 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Bowers burst back onto the fantasy scene with three trips to the end zone for his managers after missing the Raiders' last three contests with a knee injury. The explosive tight end notched his second 100-yard game of the season while recording his first rush attempt in 2025 (he logged five attempts as a rookie). Bowers made up for lost time with Sunday's outpouring of production, bumping his receiving line up to 31-357-3 in five starts. With no setbacks to report, Bowers will attempt to become a matchup problem for Denver's highly-touted defense on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

Bates (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Bates was limited in the final two practices of Week 9 prep due to an ankle injury, but he's been cleared to play Sunday night after going through pregame warmups. Bates and Ben Sinnott will provide depth at tight end behind Zach Ertz.
