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.

Gadsden caught both of his targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

One week after running just five pass routes in the Chargers' Week 1 loss to the Cardinals, Gadsden ran 15 routes against Las Vegas. He played an increased role on offense after David Njoku was carted off in the first half with a knee injury. If Njoku needs to miss additional time, Gadsden will be one of the biggest beneficiaries as the pass-catching tight end alongside blocker Charlie Kolar.

Waller caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Waller had a touchdown called back in Week 1 against the Bears on an offensive pass interference, but he made a pair of red-zone catches count in this one, scoring from seven and 12 yards. It's become evident that Carolina has big plans for Waller in the scoring area this season. He's not going to go for many yards most weeks, but he's always a candidate to get into the end zone. Waller gets a plus Week 3 draw against the Browns next Sunday.

Ferguson caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

After a quiet Week 1 against the Giants in which he caught just two passes for six scoreless yards, Ferguson bounced back with a pair of red-zone touchdowns against Washington. His four targets were still just fourth on the team, tied with Javonte Williams and behind CeeDee Lamb (nine), George Pickens (eight) and Ryan Flournoy (six) on a day Dak Prescott attempted 31 passes. Ferguson is shaping up as a touchdown-or-bust fantasy tight end headed into Week 3 versus Baltimore.

McBride caught eight of nine targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-7 loss to Seattle.

McBride was the lone bright spot for Arizona's offense, reeling in nearly half of the team's 95 total passing yards in the game. The tight end was able to find the end zone for a second straight contest to open the regular season, snagging a two-yard score from Jacoby Brissett on the opening play of the second quarter. McBride is coming off of one of the most dominant seasons for a tight end in NFL history, and he's now off to a hot start in 2026, catching 17 of 22 targets for 136 yards and two scores over the Cardinals' first two games.

Fannin secured five of six targets for 54 yards in the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The second-year tight end bounced back from a quiet Week 1 to post a productive stat line Sunday akin to many he'd generated during an impressive 2025 rookie campaign. Fannin tied for second on the day in receptions and targets for Cleveland while also checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards, serving as a frequent security blanket for Deshaun Watson. Fannin should continue seeing plenty of opportunity as his chemistry with Watson grows, and he'll next take aim at the Panthers' defense in Week 3 home matchup.

Loveland caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

After failing to catch a pass at all in the Bears' opener, Loveland wasn't much better in Week 2, although wet and windy conditions at Soldier Field put a damper on any aerial offense. The second-year tight end has been one of the league's biggest busts in the early going given his preseason hype, and his chances of turning things around quickly likely won't improve if the hamstring injury that knocked Caleb Williams out of Sunday's contest proves to be serious. Loveland could be catching passes from Tyson Bagent instead in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.

Kraft caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets.

Kraft was one of five Packers to put the ball on the ground in slick conditions Sunday, but four of those fumbles were recovered by Green Bay, including Kraft's miscue. The star tight end has just five catches for 80 yards through two games in his return from a torn ACL suffered in Week 9 of last season. Prior to the injury, Kraft averaged over 60 yards per game and scored six times in eight games during the 2025 regular season. He may still be working his way back to 100 percent heading into Thursday's Week 3 home game against the struggling Falcons.

Kolar (forearm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Kolar went to the locker room during the second half of Sunday's game after sustaining a forearm injury, and he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. With David Njoku (knee) ruled out for the rest of the game, Oronde Gadsden is the only healthy tight end left on the Chargers' game day roster.

Pitts brought in one of three targets for 15 yards in the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Pitts was able to make his mark in the catch column for the first time in the new season, but that one reception turned out to be his only contribution on the afternoon. However, given Cooper Rush and Jack Strand combined to throw for only 145 yards and three interceptions, Pitts' sparse production is largely explained away. The talented tight end figures to see his outlook brighten whenever Michael Penix (knee) or Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) are able to suit up, with a Week 3 Thursday night road matchup against the Packers their next opportunity to do so.
