  • Charlie Kolar TE | BAL

    Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Nabs 10-yard reception in loss

    Kolar hauled in his lone target for a 10-yard reception in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

    After logging at least half the snaps in each of the Ravens' first three games, Kolar has, unsurprisingly, seen his playing time trend down the past two weeks while Baltimore has welcomed fellow tight end Isaiah Likely back from a foot injury. Andrews and Likely remain the Ravens' top two options at the position, but Kolar still logged 20 of the team's 43 snaps on offense in Week 5 while Baltimore frequently deployed Likely out of the slot.

  • Tanner Hudson TE | CIN

    Bengals' Tanner Hudson: Struggling to find role on offense

    Hudson went without a target while playing just one of the Bengals' 62 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

    Though Hudson flashed some strong pass-catching chops in his limited opportunities the past two seasons with Cincinnati, he's struggled to find playing time in 2025 with the Bengals bringing back top tight end Mike Gesicki on a new deal and signing Noah Fant to a one-year contract in the offseason. Through five weeks, Hudson has been a healthy inactive on one occasion and has played just two snaps on offense in the four games in which he's suited up.

  • Kylen Granson TE | PHI

    Eagles' Kylen Granson: Blanked on Week 5 stat sheet

    Granson went without a target while playing 22 of the Eagles' 61 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos.

    Despite seeing his most extensive playing time of the season, Granson went without a look in the passing game for the third game in a row. Granson still looks like a strong candidate to match or exceed last week's 36 percent snap share in this Thursday's game against the Giants. The Eagles are expected to be without Grant Calcaterra (oblique) for Week 6, leaving Granson as the clear top backup to top tight end Dallas Goedert.

  • Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: One grab in loss

    Arroyo secured his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Arroyo played 26 of the Seahawks' 61 offensive snaps, behind fellow tight end AJ Barner (49) and ahead of Eric Saubert (17). The rookie has recorded just six catches for 92 yards across Seattle's first five games this season. Arroyo's limited usage makes him very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The Seahawks visit the Jaguars in Week 6.

  • Cade Stover TE | HOU

    Texans' Cade Stover: Expected to return this season

    Houston executive vice president and general manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday that he expects Stover (foot) to return at some point in 2025, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Stover suffered a broken foot in the season-opening loss to the Rams and was placed on injured reserve, which ensures at least four missed games. Caserio's comments suggest the tight end will be unavailable beyond the four-week minimum. While addressing the status of Houston's injured players, the GM lumped Stover into a group whose return timeline is "not as definitive" as it is with some other players.

  • Isaiah Likely TE | BAL

    Ravens' Isaiah Likely: One grab in loss

    Likely secured his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

    Likely's catch against the Texans on Sunday was his first of the season. The 25-year-old tight end played 23 of the Ravens' 43 offensive snaps, just behind Mark Andrews (25). Andrews led all tight ends in both receptions (2) and targets (3). With Cooper Rush operating as Baltimore's starting quarterback as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is sidelined, the offense struggled to get much going in the contest. If Rush continues to start, the potential success of all Baltimore pass catchers is capped until Jackson returns. With that said, Likely should continue to play significant snaps but faces an uphill battle for consistent opportunities. The Coastal Carolina product will have his next chance to take a step forward in the Ravens' offense in a Week 6 matchup against the Rams.

  • Ian Thomas TE | LV

    Raiders' Ian Thomas: Records three catches

    Thomas caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 40-6 loss to the Colts.

    Thomas' three receptions were his first of the season after he failed to earn a single target in the first four games of the season. With both Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer (concussion) sidelined, the veteran led all Raiders' tight ends in snaps. Thomas played 38 of the Raiders' 68 offensive snaps, ahead of both Albert Okwuegbunam (31) and Carter Runyon (6). Even if Bowers and Mayer continue to be sidelined, the 29-year-old Thomas should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited potential as a pass catcher. The Raiders will host the Titans in Week 6.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Best game of young career

    Helm recorded four catches on five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.

    Helm was rumored to be stepping into a more expanded role in the Tennessee offense, and he responded by setting career-best marks in every receiving statistic. He narrowly missed his first career touchdown on a 19-yard reception early in the fourth quarter on a throw that guided him out of bounds at the one-yard line. Helm has done well with limited opportunity to begin his rookie season, and he is a bright spot for one of the least effective offenses in the league.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Solid showing against Arizona

    Okonkwo recorded four receptions on five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals.

    Okonkwo remained a relatively steady part of the Tennessee offense, and Sunday's performance marked his third game with at least four catches. His most significant contribution came late in the fourth quarter on a 16-yard catch that helped push the Titans into field-goal range. Gunnar Helm is pushing for a bigger role in the team's offense, but Okonkwo has still played more than 60 percent of offensive snaps in every game this season.

  • Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Sits out walk-through practice

    The Eagles listed Calcaterra (oblique) as a non-participant for Thursday's walk-through practice.

    Calcaterra is recovering from an oblique injury that he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Broncos. With the Eagles facing a quick turnaround for Week 6 with a Thursday night matchup versus the Eagles, the expectation is that Calcalterra will miss his first game of the season, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. If Calcaterra ends up being ruled out for the Week 6 contest, Kylen Granson would step in as the top backup to starting tight end Dallas Goedert.
