Kelce caught four of eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Kelce increased his career total to 1,104 regular-season catches, passing Hall of Famers Marvin Harrison (1,102) and Cris Carter (1,101) to move up to fifth on the all-time list. Jason Witten holds the fourth spot with 1,228 receptions, so Kelce is more likely to be caught by Keenan Allen (1,084) than Kelce is to catch Witten. Kelce led the Chiefs with eight targets in the absence of WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) and tied fellow TE Noah Gray for the team lead in receiving yards as Kansas City mustered just three Harrison Butker field-goal attempts on offense, two of which missed. This was only the second time Kelce failed to reach the 50-yard threshold in six appearances this season. He had 71 yards in Week 1 against the Broncos, whom the Chiefs will face in a Week 8 road rematch.

Barner caught four of five targets for 42 yards while also adding three rushes for four yards during Sunday night's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.

Barner finished second on the team in both receptions and receiving yards behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The tight's four catches and 42 yards were his highest totals since he reeled in five passes for 69 yards in Week 3 against Washington. Additionally, Barner was able to rush for three first downs on Sunday night. On the year, the tight end has caught 19 of 29 targets for 180 yards while he's also added four carries for five yards and a touchdown over seven contests.

Otton failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.

Otton went without a reception for the first time this season, and he has now combined to reel in one of three targets for four yards over the last two weeks. Tampa Bay leaned on the run in the return of quarterback Baker Mayfield, and Mayfield completed seven of 11 passes for just 64 yards in the victory. Otton figures to have much better days ahead as his quarterback gets back up to speed, and the tight end's first shot at getting back on track will come Week 8 against Atlanta.

Sadiq caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

With Mason Taylor dominating the targets at tight end for the Jets, Sadiq continues to fade into the background for an offense that is unable to support more than a couple pass catchers in the box score each week. Sadiq has just four catches for 21 yards over the last three weeks with Taylor back in the lineup.

Freiermuth caught two of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints.

Over the last two weeks, Freiermuth has just four grabs for 31 yards on seven targets. In that same span, Darnell Washington has secured five grabs for 29 yards and two touchdowns as one of Aaron Rodgers' preferred targets in the red zone. Freiermuth is in the large bucket of touchdown-or-bust fantasy options at tight end.

Johnson caught one of three targets for seven yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

Johnson was held in check yet again in Week 7. The tight end has now gone three straight games without exceeding 16 receiving yards while he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3. Johnson has slowly become an unreliable fantasy option as the season has gone on, and he'll have the opportunity to hit the reset button during the Saints' bye week in Week 8.

Mayer caught all three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Rams.

After his big Week 6 in which Mayer caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards against the Bills, Mayer faded into the background against Los Angeles, as Tre Tucker (5-103-1 receiving), Brock Bowers (6-73-0) and Ashton Jeanty (8-61-1) accounted for most of the production in the passing game for the Raiders. Mayer will be a fantasy TE1/2 for next Sunday's game against the Jets.

Helm caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

They marked the tight end's first catches since Week 4, as he went back-to-back games without a grab in Weeks 5 and 6 against the Texans and Colts. Helm has yet to reach 30 yards in a game this season and is well off the fantasy radar in one of the league's worst passing offenses.

Schultz caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.

The veteran tight end paced the Texans with his six targets, matching Xavier Hutchinson, as the duo saw one more than Nico Collins on a day C.J. Stroud targeted nine different pass catchers. Schultz is still looking for his first touchdown of the season and has settled in as a low-ceiling fantasy tight end.

LaPorta caught one of two targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Packers.

It wasn't a happy Tight Ends Day for LaPorta, who had his worst performance of the season despite the fact that Jared Goff threw for over 300 yards. Even with the quiet afternoon, LaPorta still sports a 28-334-3 line on 39 targets through six games, keeping him on pace for a new career high in receiving yards. He faces another tough challenge in Week 8 versus the dominant defense of the undefeated Vikings.
