Hudson suffered a pectoral injury during the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Hudson finished Sunday's game having caught all three of his targets for 14 yards, which included a two-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter to give the Bengals a 21-7 halftime lead. He played a total of 27 snaps (19 on offense, eight on special teams), and although it's unclear when he picked up the injury, it's severe enough to potentially require a stint on injured reserve. Rookie seventh-rounder Jack Endries would be in line for a larger role if Hudson misses time.

Pitts caught five of six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Pitts scored his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard reception in the second quarter. He has stirred to life after a painfully slow start, recording eight catches for 89 yards and a TD over the last two games after having just two catches for 20 yards through Week 3. Michael Penix sustained a rib injury late in the game, and while Tua Tagovailoa proceeded to throw the game-losing interception in overtime, it's worth noting that Pitts was Tagovailoa's primary target in the preseason. Atlanta's QB situation will bear monitoring ahead of a Week 6 home game against the Bears.

Andrews caught four of six targets for 28 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons.

Andrews finished third on the team in catches and receiving yards behind wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, but the veteran tight end had a forgettable night full of miscues. Atlanta's first touchdown came on a 36-yard Jessie Bates return of Andrews' first-quarter fumble, and Andrews also failed to come down with a pair of catchable balls in the end zone, one of which would have resulted in a touchdown, while the other was an attempted two-point conversion. Andrews' ceiling would rise if the Ravens get starting QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) back in Week 6 at Cleveland, but Sunday night's quiet performance was due primarily to Andrews' own miscues rather than any shortcomings on the part of backup QB Tyler Huntley.

Schultz caught three of four targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

Schultz has now caught three or fewer passes while failing to exceed 30 receiving yards in three straight contests. The tight end has garnered just nine targets since Week 2 after he caught 16 of 22 targets for 175 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Schultz may have a tough time getting back on track against the Jaguars' impressive defense in Week 6.

Hibner (hand) has returned to action Sunday night against the Falcons, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Hibner sustained a hand injury in the first half, but he has now returned to the field after the break. The tight end will operate as the No. 2 option at his position behind Mark Andrews for the final stretch of the contest.

Henry caught three of four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

Henry was able to reel in at least three passes for the fourth time this season, and his biggest moment of the game came in the second quarter when Drake Maye connected with him for an 11-yard score. The tight end has now caught 15 of 19 targets for 177 yards and a touchdown over the first five games of the season.

Hibner (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Falcons.

Hibner suffered a hand injury in the first quarter, and his availability for the rest of the contest is now uncertain. In his absence, Mark Andrews will continue to handle the lion's share of the workload at tight end.

LaPorta brought in all five of his targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

The athletic tight end was a constant presence in the air attack during the high-scoring victory, and he finished with a season-high yardage total that also set the pace for the Lions on the afternoon. LaPorta also contributed his third touchdown of the campaign -- and his second in as many games -- with a 38-yard grab in the second quarter. LaPorta has his two highest yardage tallies of the season in the last two games, which affords him plenty of momentum heading into the Week 6 bye that precedes a Week 7 divisional showdown at home against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Kittle (illness) caught five of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks.

Kittle had an uncharacteristic third-down drop on San Francisco's opening drive but caught his other five targets to finish second on the 49ers in receiving yards despite playing through an illness. Mike Evans easily led the team with seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's win. Kittle will have an extra day to recover before the Commanders come to town for Monday Night Football in Week 6.

Quitoriano caught both of his targets for 15 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 45-21 loss to Detroit.

Quitoriano entered Sunday having recorded just two receptions since the beginning of the 2023 campaign. The tight end made the most of his two chances in Week 5, reeling in a two-yard touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett in the first quarter before later connecting with the quarterback again for a 13-yard score in the third quarter. Quitoriano's performance figures to be an anomaly, and he carries no fantasy value moving forward.
