Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Taylor (thumb) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Glenn noted that Taylor will be "just fine" after exiting this past Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers due to the thumb injury, but the second-year tight end still appears likely to miss time. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that Taylor is viewed as week-to-week, and unless he's able to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he'll presumably be ruled out in advance of Sunday's game in Detroit. If Taylor ends up being sidelined for Week 3, rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq could be in line for a big uptick in playing time after handling and 42 and 36 percent snap shares in the Jets' first two games.

Yankoff caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to Dallas.

Yankoff logged 21 of the Commanders' 71 offensive snaps, ranking third among the team's tight ends behind Ben Sinnott (48) and John Bates (22). Washington was without starter Chig Okonkwo, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. Yankoff doesn't seem slated for a major role even with Okonkwo out of action, so he's currently off the radar in most fantasy formats.

Bates played 22 offensive snaps and 14 special-teams snaps in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Bates played 22 of the Commanders' 71 offensive snaps in his start. The tight end was primarily used as a blocker for the team's run game but did not steal any targets from Ben Sinnott in the effort.

Adkins caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for six yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars.

Adkins played 23 of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps while also contributing six snaps to the special-teams unit. The No. 3 tight end was particularly reliable in his complementary role, catching everything thrown his way and scoring a fourth-quarter touchdown to tie the game at 13 points.

All notched two receptions (on three targets) for five yards during Sunday's 20-6 win versus the Texans.

All logged 25 offensive snaps in Week 2, finishing behind Drew Sample (36) and Mike Gesicki (21). After not garnering any attention from Joe Burrow in the 33-27 win over the Buccaneers in Week 1, the 26-year-old was targeted three times versus the Texans. All finished his rookie 2024 campaign with 20 receptions for 158 yards, but he didn't play in 2025 due to a knee injury. While All should have a weekly presence in the offense as long as he's healthy, he won't carry much fantasy value as long as Gesicki, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown are available.

Sample notched zero targets during Sunday's 20-6 victory over the Texans.

Sample logged 36 snaps on offense in the win over Houston, finishing ahead of Erick All (25) and Mike Gesicki (21). However, after catching three passes in the 33-27 victory over the Buccaneers in Week 1, he wasn't targeted in Week 2. The 30-year-old veteran has spent his entire career with the Bengals since entering the NFL in 2019, most recently finishing the 2025 campaign with 15 catches (20 targets) for 106 yards and one touchdown. While Sample could find the end zone at some point this season, he's not expected to play a pivotal role on the receiving end. That likely won't change even if Gesicki or All aren't available, considering Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown should continue doing most of the heavy lifting on offense.

Delp gathered in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 24-17 victory over the Ravens.

Delp didn't suit up for the 31-30 overtime loss to Detroit in Week 1 due to a hamstring issue, though he was on the field for Sunday's 24-17 upset win over Baltimore. However, despite the rookie's availability in Week 2, he appeared in just nine of the Saints' 68 offensive snaps, catching his only target for eight yards, while logging six snaps on special teams. Although Delp could see more action moving ahead, it doesn't appear as if he will be more involved than Noah Fant and Juwan Johnson anytime soon.

Whiteheart caught one of his two targets for a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

Whiteheart played 27 of the Browns' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, and his one catch, which came with 3:51 remaining, erased a 19-16 deficit and proved to be the difference in the game. The tight end also contributed on 15 special-teams snaps. Whiteheart is the second option at tight end behind Harold Fannin but plays a significant run-blocking role.

Mundt caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 24-20 win against the Titans.

Mundt started along with fellow tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), and he logged 49 of Philadelphia's 76 offensive snaps. The significant playing time was partly due to Goedert exiting in the first half after spraining his MCL. Goedert is now slated to miss multiple weeks due to the injury, but that won't necessarily mean that Mundt will be an attractive fantasy waiver-wire pickup. The Eagles signed veteran Zach Ertz to a contract Tuesday, and he'll likely slide in as the team's top tight end during Goedert's absence, though it's unclear how long Ertz will need to get up to speed.

Moreau caught both of his targets for 34 yards and added a tackle on special teams during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

Moreau was listed as a starter, though he played only 23 of the Texans' 80 offensive plays, well behind Dalton Schultz's 54 snaps. Moreau ended up fourth on the Texans in receiving yards, which included a 25-yard catch early in the second quarter, and he's up to a 4-49-0 receiving line through two regular-season games. The Texans hit the road for Week 3 against the Colts, and while Moreau will contribute on offense and special teams, his pass-catching production will be limited while working behind Schultz.
