  • Patriots' Austin Hooper: One catch versus Falcons

    Hooper caught his only target for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    As long as the veteran tight end works in a timeshare that favors Hunter Henry, his weekly fantasy upside will be limited. Through nine contests to date, Hooper has recorded a modest 13-174-1 receiving line on 14 targets.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Blanked by Houston

    Engram failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.

    Engram was unable to get anything going in Week 9, as he played second fiddle to fellow tight end Adam Trautman against the Texans. The 31-year-old Engram played 51 percent of Denver's offensive snaps Sunday, reaching above a 50 percent snap share for just the second time this season. Even so, it was Trautman who saw the majority of work at tight end, playing 73 percent of snaps and catching both of his targets for 25 yards. The Denver tight end position is seemingly one to avoid for fantasy purposes, as neither Engram nor Trautman are reliable options, and those hoping Engram could have a strong year in head coach Sean Payton's system have likely already moved on. The veteran will remain difficult to trust when the Broncos host the Raiders in Week 10.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: Four catches Sunday

    Henry caught four of his six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons.

    Henry logged 51 of 68 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and on the heels of being targeted just once in Week 8, the tight end saw more typical volume Sunday. Overall, Henry has recorded a 29-368-4 receiving line on 43 targets through nine games, a rate of production that keeps him on the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Hunter Long TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Hunter Long: Does little on three targets

    Long secured one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders.

    The 27-year-old led Jacksonville's tight ends with a 66 percent snap share despite briefly exiting Sunday's contest due to hip and knee injuries. Long is operating as Jacksonville's No. 1 tight end with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) still on the mend, but he has just five receptions on nine targets for 41 yards since Strange landed on IR.

  • Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Just one catch vs. Green Bay

    Sanders caught his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

    The second-year tight end from Texas has struggled to settle in since returning from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, posting just four catches for 24 yards across 87 offensive snaps. Even so, he's expected to remain the Panthers' top pass-catching tight end heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: No catches in Week 9

    Tremble failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

    Although Tremble served as the Panthers' No. 1 tight end (29 snaps) and logged more offensive snaps than Ja'Tavion Sanders (28 snaps) in the Week 9 win, it didn't translate to production. Since Sanders returned from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, Tremble has caught just two of three targets for four yards across 104 offensive snaps. He's expected to remain a minor portion of Carolina's offensive game plan heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Scores in blowout win

    Barner caught three of four targets for 24 yards and rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders.

    Barner took a direct snap in the third quarter and plowed into the end zone to extend the Seahawks' lead to 38-7. The second-year tight end continues to operate as the clear No. 1 on the depth chart ahead of rookie Elijah Arroyo, as Barner played 43 of 51 offensive snaps (84 percent) and finished tied for second on the team in targets. He's scored five touchdowns through eight games, but has averaged just 29.5 receiving yards per game.

  • Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Scores first TD

    Arroyo caught two passes on two targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders.

    Arroyo notched his first career touchdown on a 26-yard pass in the second quarter. Despite the blowout, the starters played nearly the entire game, and Arroyo played just 22 of 51 offensive snaps (43 percent), which has his standard workload this season with AJ Barner handling a nearly every-down role. Arroyo's touchdown provided an intriguing flash of athleticism and upside, but he'll be tough to depend on until he secures an increased role.

  • Texans' Harrison Bryant: Logs one reception in loss

    Bryant caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos.

    Bryant played a usual role, serving as the backup tight end to Dalton Schultz, who missed a couple of practice sessions leading up to the game. Though six appearances on the season, Bryant has recorded two catches for six yards on six targets.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Only one target

    Helm recorded one catch on one target for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers.

    Helm had started to see a slight uptick in his production in recent weeks, topping 30 yards in two of four games entering Sunday's contest. However, the Titans attempted only 21 passes in the loss to the Chargers, limiting the volume of all of their pass catchers. Chig Okonkwo remains the team's primary tight end, though Helm could cut into that role as the season progresses.
