NFL Player News

Kolar (forearm) was spotted with his left arm in a sling following Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Kolar recorded three catches for 21 yards on three targets over 40 snaps on offense before a forearm injury forced him out of the contest in the second half. He was one of two Chargers tight ends to leave the game due to injury, as David Njoku (knee) also made an early departure. Head coach Jim Harbaugh declined to provide updates on Kolar and Njoku after the game, so until the team releases its first Week 3 injury report Wednesday, the statuses of both players will be muddled heading into next Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

Goedert (knee) is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday after exiting Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Goedert played 19 snaps on offense and recorded a four-year reception on two targets before sustaining the knee injury in the second quarter. Though the Eagles deemed Goedert questionable to return, he never ended up checking back into the game and now is set to undergo further testing as the team looks to determine the severity of his injury. If the knee issue keeps Goedert from suiting up in the Eagles' Week 3 matchup with the Bears next Monday, Johnny Mundt (2-8-0 receiving line, 64 percent snap share Week 2) would be the next man up at tight end.

Kelce secured nine of 11 targets for 101 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

Patrick Mahomes was in vintage form Sunday night, and Kelce unsurprisingly was a big reason why. The legendary duo was in sync throughout the night, and it helped Kelce to team-high figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran tight end has posted a combined 12-172-1 line on 16 targets over his first two games, making him a top option at his position in all formats as a tantalizing Week 3 road matchup against the Dolphins approaches next Sunday.

Warren caught six of seven targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs. He also rushed once for three yards.

Warren opened the scoring with a one-yard touchdown catch, giving him two touchdowns in as many games to begin his sophomore season. The 2025 first-round pick is already halfway to his rookie total of four touchdown catches in 17 games, though Warren also had a rushing TD in 2025. If Alec Pierce (heel) were to miss any additional time after exiting in the first half of Sunday's loss, Warren and Josh Downs would be the top candidates to pick up the slack in the passing game for the run-heavy Colts offense. Warren and the Colts will try to snap a nine-game losing streak dating back to last season when they host the Texans in Week 3.

Strange caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

Parker Washington (12 targets) and Brian Thomas (eight) saw a combined 20 targets on Trevor Lawrence's 29 pass attempts, leaving very little opportunity for the rest of the Jaguars' pass catchers. Strange still ran 25 routes on 31 dropbacks, proving he's an every-down tight end in one of the league's premier offenses. He'll be a touchdown-dependent TE1/2 next Sunday against the Patriots.

Helm caught both of his targets for 13 yards in the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Through two games, Helm has six grabs for 40 scoreless yards on seven targets. He's unlikely to be a productive fantasy option in a Tennessee passing offense that has been anemic so far this season.

Mayer brought in three of four targets for 23 yards in the Raiders' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Mayer served as the No. 1 tight end for the second straight game to open the season due to Brock Bowers' (knee) absence. Mayer played a complementary and mostly short-area role as expected, but through his two starts, he's posted a serviceable a 9-55-0 line on 11 targets. Bowers reportedly could be healthy enough to play in a Week 3 road matchup against the Saints, a development that would relegate Mayer to his usual No. 2 role.

Henry caught three of five targets for 40 yards in the Patriots' 20-3 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

In the team's first game without A.J. Brown (ankle), Henry ended up pacing the Patriots with his five targets, though Drake Maye spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers. While Henry led the team in looks, Romeo Doubs turned his four targets into three catches for a game-high 96 receiving yards. After two contests this season, Henry has six catches for 66 scoreless yards. He's one of many in the touchdown-or-bust bucket at tight end for fantasy.

Head coach Klint Kubiak described Bowers (knee) as "very close" to returning after Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bowers has missed the first two games of the season, but the Raiders are off to a 2-0 start despite their star tight end's absence. He could be ready to return from a meniscus trim for Week 3 at New Orleans. Bowers' practice participation level during the week will provide an indication of his potential availability.

Kittle caught all four of his targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins.

Kittle gained half of his yardage on a 40-yard catch to start the second half, and he scored a 12-yard touchdown three plays later. He had just 12 receiving yards in the Week 1 win over the Rams, as Kittle returned from an Achilles tear sustained in January. Kittle will try to build on Sunday's strong performance in Week 3 against the Cardinals.
