Strange caught both of his targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 42-7 win over Indianapolis.

Strange was able to make it seven games in a row with multiple catches to open the 2026 campaign. The tight end tied running back Bhayshul Tuten for the team lead in receiving yards, exceeding 50 yards for the third time in the last four games. Strange has now reeled in 28 of 35 targets for 334 yards and a touchdown over seven contests this season.

Adkins caught both of his targets for four yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Chiefs.

The block-first tight end secured a two-yard score in the fourth quarter to pull the Broncos within three points, before they scored the eventual game-winning touchdown on the next possession. Adkins now has six grabs for 44 yards and a score on seven targets this season. He has no fantasy appeal.

Gadsden caught all five of his targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

Gadsden was able to lead the team in catches while he finished with one fewer target than team leader Ladd McConkey. The tight end has now reeled in at least three passes for the second straight game and third time over the last four contests after having failed to do so in any of the team's first three regular-season games. Gadsden and the rest of the Chargers will face a tough test in Week 9 against the Texans.

Mayer caught five of six targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets.

Mayer's six targets were second on the team behind Brock Bowers' 10, and only Bowers (26) ran more routes than Mayer's 20 on Kirk Cousins' 27 dropbacks. The tight end has just one touchdown this season but has remained an integral part of Las Vegas' passing attack. He's already surpassed his 2025 catches and yards totals, posting 36 grabs for 351 yards through eight games this season. Mayer will be a fantasy TE2 for next Sunday's date with the 49ers.

Goedert caught all four of his targets for 30 yards and added a two-yard run in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.

Goedert has 15 catches for 139 receiving yards in three games since Tanner McKee took over as Philadelphia's starting QB, but the veteran TE has now gone five consecutive appearances without a TD after scoring 13 times in the span of 15 regular-season appearances through Week 1 of this season. Goedert had a ball bounce off his hands for an interception in the second half, but the play was negated by a defensive penalty, removing what would have been the lone blemish on Goedert's otherwise clean, though unimpressive, stat sheet. He'll try to snap his touchdown drought in Week 9 against the Giants.

Gray caught both of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.

The Chiefs' TE2 caught a four-yard score in the third quarter, his first touchdown of the season. Kansas City uses plenty of 12 personnel, using both Travis Kelce and Gray on offense, but Gray handles more of the blocking duties. On the season, he has 14 grabs for 173 yards and a touchdown. There isn't much meat on the bone here for fantasy purposes.

Boerkircher caught his lone target for a 31-yard touchdown in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts.

The rookie tight end converted his long touchdown on a busted coverage, putting the Jaguars up 14-0 in the second quarter. Boerkircher entered Sunday with six grabs for 52 yards and a touchdown on eight targets across six games. He has minimal fantasy appeal outside of single-game DFS slates ahead of Thursday night's date with the Ravens.

Freiermuth caught both of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-6 win over the Browns. He added one rushing attempt for a one-yard touchdown.

With time expiring in the second quarter, Freiermuth took a direct snap and punched in a one-yard rushing score to put the Steelers up 20-6 headed into halftime. The tight end entered the season with zero career carries but now has four through eight games, turning them into five yards and a touchdown. As a receiver, Freiermuth has been held to exactly two catches in each of the last three games and has yet to hit 50 yards in any game this season. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet with the Steelers headed into their bye week.

Washington caught three of five targets for 94 yards during Sunday's 27-6 win over the Browns.

Washington led the team in receiving yards while finishing tied for second on the team in targets with wide receiver Germie Bernard. The tight end's biggest moment of the game came in the third quarter when he reeled in a short pass from Aaron Rodgers and took off for a 58-yard gain. Washington has now reeled in 19 of 28 targets for 254 yards and three touchdowns over eight contests to open the 2026 regular season.

Dulcich caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.

Dulcich has yet to score a touchdown this season, but the tight end is settling in as one of Malik Willis' favorite targets. He has at least four catches in four of his last five games but has reached 50 receiving yards in just two of seven contests. Dulcich is in the large bucket of low-floor, low-ceiling TE2 options in fantasy, but he does get a plus Week 9 draw against the Lions.
