Okonkwo brought in all seven targets for 69 yards in the Commanders' 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.

The athletic tight end set the pace for the Commanders in receptions and receiving yards while also sharing the team lead in targets. It was Okonkwo's most productive performance yet over his brief four-game Commanders tenure, and the Maryland product looks like he's hitting his stride after missing Weeks 2 and 3 due to a hamstring injury. Okonkwo will head into a Week 7 bye with a combined 11-129-0 line on 13 targets over the last two games before returning to action at home against the Eagles on Sunday night, Nov. 1.

Kittle brought in five of eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 23-17 win over the Commanders on Monday night.

Kittle was one of Brock Purdy's most effective targets on the night, finishing with the 49ers' second-highest reception, receiving yardage and target totals. The athletic tight end was also on the other end of Brock Purdy's one touchdown pass, recording an 11-yard scoring grab to cap off the opening possession of the night. Kittle has at least four receptions in five consecutive games and Monday night's receiving yardage total or higher in four of his first six contests of the season, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

Helm was on the field for 33 of 46 offensive snaps (71.7 percent) but didn't show up on the box score otherwise during the Titans' 26-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Helm has seen his role on offense steadily decline since his four-catch performance in Week 1 against the Jets. He's been held without a catch in each of his last two games and has seen only two targets from Cam Ward over the Titans' last three games. Tennessee's offense is one of the worst units in the league this season, and it's hard to put much stock into any of the position players outside of rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate and, to a lesser extent, veteran running back Tony Pollard. The Titans will head back home for Week 7 against the Browns on Oct. 25,

Taylor caught four of six targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Patriots.

Taylor put together his best performance of the year, setting new season highs in catches, yards and targets. The tight end has now caught nine of 12 targets for 55 yards over four games this season. With rookie Kenyon Sadiq also heavily involved at tight end, Taylor's upside will continue to be hard to gauge moving forward.

Kolar caught three of six targets for 20 yards during the Chargers' 22-6 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Kolar finished fifth on the Chargers in receiving yards, but he was also second on the team in both catches and targets behind KeAndre Lambert-Smith (five catches on nine targets for 32 yards). Kolar has a 6-57-10 receiving line in his two outings since returning from a two-game absence due to a fractured forearm, but he's stuck in a Chargers offense that is one of the worst units in the league this season. The Chargers will look to regroup during the Week 7 bye before facing the Rams in Week 8 on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Gray caught all three of his targets for 53 yards during the Chiefs' 22-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Gray's third and final catch of Sunday's game was for 31 yards early in the third quarter. It was the fourth time in six-year NFL career that he surpassed 50 receiving yards in a game, with the other three instances taking place in 2024. Gray's 39 offensive snaps were one shy of Travis Kelce, though the latter was nursing a right ankle injury during Sunday's game, and that health concern will be worth monitoring ahead of the Chiefs' Week 7 road tilt against the Seahawks on Oct. 25.

Boerkircher caught both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans.

Boerkircher was able to find paydirt for the first time in his NFL career, reeling in a one-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old has now caught six of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown over six contests to open the regular season.

Higbee caught all four of his targets for 22 yards during the Rams' 18-16 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Higbee was not targeted by Matthew Stafford until early in the fourth quarter, but the former fumbled the ball on his first catch of the game, which was recovered by the Cardinals' defense. Higbee saw three more passes from Stafford in the quarter, and Sunday's efforts snapped his three-game streak of 60-plus yards and five-plus catches. However, the Rams are expected to be without Davante Adams (hamstring) until at least after the Week 11 bye, so Higbee could be Stafford's secondary target in the passing game behind Puka Nacua for the next few games. The Rams hit the road for Week 7 on Oct. 25, against the Raiders, whose defense gives up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season.

The Raiders cut Myarick from the practice squad Monday.

Myarick was elevated for two games in 2026, logging eight offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps without appearing in any box scores. The tight end remains a free agent able to sign with any franchise's active roster or practice squad.

Andrews caught one of three targets for four yards during the Ravens' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Andrews saw only three pass attempts from Tyler Huntley on Sunday, and it was the first time that the veteran tight end saw less than five targets this season. Andrews' 41 offensive snaps were most among Ravens tight ends, but his receiving line was below rookie fifth-rounder Josh Cuevas (4-44-1 on five targets). Baltimore will head back home for Week 7 against the Bengals on Oct. 25, and Andrews' scoring floor would be boosted if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is cleared to return from a two-game absence.
