Helm caught five of nine targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 43-36 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Helm led the team in targets while he was able to register a new career-high 76 receiving yards in the contest. The tight end has now reeled in eight passes over the last two weeks after he caught nine of 13 targets for 60 yards over the first six games of the 2026 campaign. Helm will have a tough test against the Jaguars in Week 10 after the team's bye week in Week 9.

Hockenson caught four of five targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions.

Hockenson secured an eight-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to give the Vikings a 15-12 lead, and he's now up to 31 grabs for 295 yards and three touchdowns on 37 targets through seven games this season. Hockenson, though, missed all but two offensive snaps in the Week 5 win over the Saints after suffering a concussion. A favorite target for Kyler Murray in the middle and short areas of the field, Hockenson has settled in as a lower-end TE1 in fantasy. He gets a plus matchup with the Bills next Monday night in another spot the Minnesota offense may be forced to push the gas pedal.

Gesicki caught four of six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-36 overtime win against the Titans.

Gesicki was able to reach the end zone for the fifth straight game, connecting with Joe Burrow for a 25-yard score in the fourth quarter. The tight end's four catches and 76 receiving yards were both his highest totals since Week 1 versus Tampa Bay. Gesicki has now caught 17 of 24 targets for 241 yards and six scores over seven contests to open the regular season.

Andrews caught three of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bills.

Though Lamar Jackson (ankle) made his awaited return to the lineup, his stay lasted just one offensive snap Sunday before suffering a serious thumb injury. Tyler Huntley then exited the game with a toe injury in the second quarter, forcing undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano into emergency QB duties. No Ravens player produced even 25 receiving yards against Buffalo. Andrews has been in an extended slump and won't be a trustworthy fantasy tight end for Thursday night against the Jaguars.

Kincaid (chest) caught four of six targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens.

Kincaid was questionable coming into the game due to a chest injury, but he managed to suit up and finished as the team leader in receiving yards. He made a 40-yard catch early in the fourth quarter and capped the following drive with a 23-yard touchdown catch. The streaky TE has returned to form with 11 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown over the past two games. Kincaid had just four catches for 52 yards over his previous three outings after starting the season with 12 catches for 225 yards and a TD through two games. Next up for Kincaid and the Bills is a Week 9 MNF clash with Minnesota's elite defense.

Kelce caught five of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Broncos.

The 37-year-old tight end caught more than four passes and topped 60 yards for the first time since Week 2, but his TD drought stands at four games. Kelce moved up another rung on the NFL's all-time leaderboards with this performance, as he passed Torry Holt to take over 18th place in career receiving yards (13,412). Kelce will take a 29-410-2 line on 42 targets through seven games in the current campaign into a Week 9 clash with the Jets.

Pitts caught two of five targets for six yards during Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers.

Pitts was unable to make it four straight weeks with a touchdown, and he was held to two or fewer catches for the first time since Week 3 versus Green Bay. The tight end has exceeded 50 receiving yards just one time over eight contests to open the 2026 campaign, so fantasy managers are pretty reliant on him reaching the end zone. Pitts and the rest of the Falcons' offense will have a good chance to get back on track in Week 9 against the Bengals' inconsistent defense.

LaPorta caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 19-15 win over the Vikings. He added two rushing yards on one attempt.

After being limited to 1-18-0 on two targets in last Sunday's victory over the Packers, LaPorta remained quiet in a second straight divisional matchup with a formidable defense. A Week 9 date with the Dolphins will present a get-right spot for the tight end, who has 31 grabs for 367 yards and three touchdowns through seven games this season. LaPorta will be a locked-in TE1 play against Miami.

Warren secured four of 10 targets for 18 yards in the Colts' 42-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Warren tied for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in targets on another forgettable afternoon for the Colts, one where Indianapolis dropped to 2-6 on the season and Daniel Jones was benched late. With rumors swirling both Josh Downs and Jonathan Taylor could be traded by the Nov. 10 deadline, Warren could be the biggest skill-position weapon the Colts have during the second half of the season alongside Alec Pierce (IR, heel). Warren's catch and yardage totals Sunday were both his second lowest of the season, and it remains to be seen if he'll be catching passes from either Jones or Anthony Richardson in a Week 9 home matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Henry (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game at Miami.

Henry exited in the first half of this Week 8 matchup and eventually was ruled out midway through the fourth quarter, ending it with three catches (on three targets) for 30 yards. Eli Raridon will act as the Patriots' top pass-catching tight end for as long as Henry is sidelined.
