Barner caught 5-of-9 targets for 69 yards in the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Barner saw an intense target share in Sunday's contest, picking up the slack for the Seahawks' offense. The Commanders' defense relentlessly prioritized Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the game developed, leaving Barner to see plenty of attention in a losing effort.

Herbert reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Herbert played just one offensive snap and another six on special teams in his regular-season NFL debut Sunday against the Bills. The tight end figures to see regular elevations from the practice squad while Charlie Kolar recovers from a broken forearm.

Likely caught two of five targets for 13 yards during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.

After logging 13 catches through the first two games of the regular season, Likely was held to only two receptions in Week 3, the first game with Jameis Winston as the starter instead of Jaxson Dart (knee, IR). Likely's five targets were second-most on the Giants behind Malik Nabers (six), but the scoring floors of all Giants pass catchers figure to be lower with Winston under center. That said, New York could turn the keys over to the recently acquired J.J. McCarthy if Winston continues to underwhelm. The Giants will stay home for Week 4 against the Cardinals, whose defense gave up a 6-82-2 receiving line to tight end George Kittle in a 36-30 loss to the 49ers in Week 3.

Hudson reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Hudson caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. The 31-year-old tight end has appeared in two games this season, securing all three of his targets for 17 yards. The Bengals like to use multiple tight ends, and Hudson played behind both Drew Sample and Mike Gesicki but ahead of Erick All against Pittsburgh. Hudson would likely need an injury to Gesicki to become relevant in fantasy.

Andrews caught three of five targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys.

Andrews was limited by a hand injury that he suffered in the second quarter, and he was only on the field for 33 of the team's 64 offensive snaps. The tight end has recorded at least three catches in each of the team's first three games, reeling in 13 of 18 targets for 122 yards so far this season. Andrews has yet to reach the end zone this year, and his next chance will come against the Titans in Week 4.

Strange caught three of five targets for 32 yards during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Most of Strange's production came on a 23-yard catch midway through the second quarter, which put the Jaguars just outside the red zone and helped lead to a 10-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Jakobi Meyers five plays later. Strange finished Sunday's game tied for the second-most targets and catches and third in receiving yards behind Meyers (64) and Parker Washington (32). Strange is off to a somewhat slow start to the 2026 season, though he's competing against Meyers, Washington and Brian Thomas for targets in the passing game. Strange will take a 7-72-1 receiving line (on 10 targets) into a Week 4 road clash against the Bengals.

Ferguson caught three of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown while also losing a fumble during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens.

Ferguson was able to reach the end zone for the second straight week, connecting with quarterback Dak Prescott for a 19-yard score in the third quarter. The tight end did have a mishap early in the fourth quarter, losing a fumble after reeling in a short pass from Prescott. Ferguson has now caught nine of 11 targets for 72 yards and three touchdowns over three contests this season, and he'll face a tough test against the Texans dominant defense in Week 4.

Henry caught one pass on two targets for five yards during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

The Patriots offense struggled as a whole Sunday, with Drake Maye completing 14 of 25 passes (8.0 YPC) for 199 yards and two interceptions. Even with A.J. Brown (ankle, IR) sidelined for the last two weeks, Henry has logged just four catches for 45 yards on seven targets, and he's well behind pace to match his 60-768-7 receiving line (on 87 targets) across 17 regular-season games in 2025. Up next is a Week 4 road tilt against the Bills, whose defense held Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden catchless on three targets in a Week 3 win for Buffalo.

The Lions signed Kitselman (leg) to the practice squad Monday.

Kitselman reached an injury settlement with the Lions during training camp in mid-August due to a leg injury he sustained in practice. He's since been medically cleared to sign with a team, and he's opted to return to Detroit as a member of the practice squad. Kitselman would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if one of the four tight ends on the Lions' 53-man roster were to miss time.

Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Parkinson is day-to-day due to an AC joint sprain in his shoulder that he picked up during the Rams' 30-26 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

The Rams are already expecting Terrance Ferguson (ankle) to not be available for Week 4 against the Eagles this Sunday, and Los Angeles could also be without their top tight end in Parkinson. Wednesday's injury report will be the first indication of Parkinson's chances of playing Week 4, but if he's not cleared to suit up, then the Rams would lean more heavily on Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and rookie second-rounder Max Klare. While Parkinson failed to haul in his lone target against Denver, it's worth noting that Higbee put together an 8-62-1 receiving line on 11 targets, which was second-most behind wide receiver Davante Adams (13) among Rams pass catchers.
