All didn't have a catch in Sunday's win over the Browns, getting targeted once on 28 snaps.

Playing time wasn't a problem for All, but game flow was. The Bengals played with a lead from the opening kickoff, and once they got out to a 21-6 lead, they barely attempted to throw the ball. All has played more snaps than Mike Gesicki in four straight games, and the rookie tight end appears to be tightening his grip on the top job for Cincy.

Stover caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to Green Bay.

The passing attack struggled in this game, as quarterback C.J. Stroud was held to 86 yards while completing just 10 of 21 throws. However, Stover still saw his usual one target for the week. The rookie tight end has five catches on six targets for 66 yards through seven contests. Stover is firmly behind Dalton Schultz on the depth chart but has become more prominent, averaging 26 snaps over five weeks since Brevin Jordan suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Freiermuth brought in two of three targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.

Freiermuth finished second in receiving for the Steelers behind star wideout George Pickens (5-111-1). The 25-year-old Freiermuth did most of his damage on a 44-yard reception from new starting quarterback Russell Wilson in the lopsided victory. The starting tight end had topped 50 yards in receiving just once during interim starter Justin Fields' six starts this season. The change at quarterback in Pittsburgh could spark an upward trend in Freiermuth's fantasy value heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Giants.

Ertz recorded four receptions on five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.

Ertz finished third on the team in targets and served as a reliable short-area target for Marcus Mariota. His longest catch of the game went for 15 yards early in the third quarter, though his biggest moment came on a 12-yard touchdown catch just before halftime to set off the blowout victory. Ertz isn't likely to post spectacular stat lines moving forward, but he does have at least four targets in all but one game this season.

Sanders recorded six receptions on six targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders.

Tommy Tremble (back) was forced to miss his second consecutive game, allowing Sanders to be one of the few bright spots in Carolina's blowout loss. Across the last two contests, Sanders has recorded 11 receptions for 110 yards on 13 targets. His potential usage once Tremble is healthy remains unclear, but Sanders has taken the opportunity to show he can be a productive pass catcher as a pro.

Akins caught all four targets for a season-high 42 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bengals in Week 7.

Cleveland's tight ends had a big day in the first game after the organization traded Amari Cooper to the Bills. Akins and starter David Njoku combined for 18 targets, the most for the tight end position this season. In a related note that impacts all receivers, quarterbacks Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) were removed from the game, leaving Jameis Winston to close out the contest. At this point, the Browns don't know who will be starting at quarterback next week against Baltimore.

Kincaid recorded three receptions on six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.

While the rest of the Buffalo passing offense saw some fluctuation, Kincaid remained in a stable role. He's now seen either six or seven targets in four consecutive games while recording at least 45 yards in three of them. Kincaid narrowly missed out on a bigger performance, as he was tackled at the two-yard line after a 25-yard gain at the end of the third quarter. While it hasn't been a breakout season, Kincaid has become a consistent contributor.

Gray brought in all four of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.

Gray finished as the Chiefs' leading receiver in an odd game that featured no passing touchdowns from either side. San Francisco keyed its defensive focus on limiting star tight end Travis Kelce (4-17-0), allowing the 25-year-old Gray to operate freely for his highest receiving total of the season. Fantasy managers should consider this a high-water mark for Gray so long as Kelce remains healthy, which the latter should be for next Sunday's tilt against the Raiders.

Parkinson caught both of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over the Raiders.

Parkinson saw his target total dip from 13 in the Rams' previous contest to just two against Las Vegas. The veteran tight end's production didn't suffer much after gaining just 20 less yards despite the 11-target dip. Parkinson remains a decent option at a shallow fantasy position heading into Thursday's tilt against Minnesota despite his fluctuating target total this season.

Kittle corralled six of seven targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.

Kittle finished as the 49ers' leading receiver after both Deebo Samuel (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) exited Sunday's contest early. The 30-year-old Kittle wasn't able to extend his touchdown streak to five games in the loss, but he finished with his highest yardage total of the season. San Francisco may have to lean on its star tight end even more down the stretch if Aiyuk's MRI results reveal a torn ACL like the team fears he suffered. Either way, Kittle remains a top fantasy option heading into a Week 8 matchup against Dallas.
