Hurst (groin) won't return to Sunday's game at Denver.

Hurst left in the first half without being targeted by quarterback Justin Herbert. Now that Hurst officially has been ruled out for the rest of Week 6, Will Dissly, Eric Tomlinson and Stone Smartt will handle TE duties for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Andrews caught three of four targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Commanders.

The veteran tight end put together his most productive game of the season, highlighted by a 13-yard TD grab just before halftime -- Andrews' first touchdown of the year. He still has yet to see more than five targets in a game, and his role as a pass catcher will likely take a back seat to his blocking assignments as long as Baltimore continues to make Derrick Henry the focal point of the offense. Andrews could still be able to carve out decent numbers again in Week 7 against the Buccaneers.

Henry caught three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.

Henry was quiet for most of the game but came alive on a third-quarter drive after the Patriots fell behind 27-7, contributing a 30-yard catch and a six-yard touchdown grab. He finished second on the team in targets behind DeMario Douglas' nine. Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes in his first NFL start and has raised the ceiling of New England's entire passing game heading into the team's Week 7 trip to England to face the porous Jaguars defense.

Ertz caught four of five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.

The veteran tight end led the Commanders in receiving yards on the day while setting a new season high in the category. Ertz has caught multiple passes in six straight games to begin his Washington tenure, but he has yet to find the end zone and has topped 38 yards only twice, giving him a limited ceiling. Ertz will again provide rookie QB Jayden Daniels with a reliable possession option in Week 7 against the Panthers.

McBride brought in all eight targets for 96 yards in the Cardinals' 34-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

With Marvin Harrison exiting the game with a concussion in the second quarter, McBride operated as Kyler Murray's top target on the afternoon. In the process, the third-year tight end set new season highs in receptions and receiving yards while drawing his second-highest target total of the campaign. McBride now has at least six catches in three of his past four games, which leaves him trending in the right direction for a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the Chargers on Oct. 21.

Hurst exited Sunday's game against the Broncos after suffering a groin injury.

Prior to his exit, Hurst wasn't targeted in the contest. While he's sidelined, Will Dissly, Eric Tomlinson and Stone Smartt are available to handle the Chargers' TE reps.

Thomas (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Thomas' active status was foreshadowed by a combination of his activation from injured reserve Saturday and the ruling out of position mate Tommy Tremble due to a concussion. With Thomas now officially in uniform for the first time this season, the veteran tight end projects to split duties at the position with rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders versus Atlanta.

Goedert (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Goedert was injured on the third play of the game on a pass thrown his way that fell incomplete. He was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out shortly after halftime. With Goedert unable to return Sunday, Grant Calcaterra has taken over most of the work at tight end for Philadelphia. It's unclear at this time whether Goedert is at risk of missing next Sunday's clash with the Giants, and his participation during Week 7 prep should shed light on that matter.

Kmet brought in all five targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.

Kmet delivered his first multi-touchdown effort of the season via scoring grabs of 31 and two yards in the second quarter. The talented tight end also co-led the Bears in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards by a comfortable margin. Kmet's performance was his second-most productive of the season behind his 10-97-1 line against the Colts in Week 3, and he heads into a Week 7 bye with the chemistry between him and first overall pick Caleb Williams clearly on an upswing.

Engram secured all 10 targets for 102 yards and lost a fumble in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.

Engram led the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets in his return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The veteran tight end's instant chemistry with Trevor Lawrence was encouraging but not necessarily surprising given their body of work in 2023, and despite the team's overall struggles, Engram appears set to offer above-average fantasy production at the always fickle tight end position moving forward. Engram will aim to carry over the momentum into a second straight London matchup against the Patriots in Week 7.
