  • Ben Sinnott TE | WAS

    Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Catches sole target in loss

    Sinnott caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

    Sinnott played 48 of the Commanders' 71 offensive snaps as well as nine special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The tight end started due to Chig Okonkwo's (hamstring) absence and also put in plenty of time as a blocker.

  • Austin Hooper TE | ATL

    Falcons' Austin Hooper: Records two catches in loss

    Hooper caught two of his four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers.

    Hooper's target tally was fairly robust considering his role as the No. 3 tight end. The 31-year-old saw the second-most targets for the Falcons on Sunday, finishing behind only wide receiver Drake London. For as long as either Cooper Rush or Jack Strand is at the helm of the offense, Hooper's large catch radius and experience could keep netting him consistent attention and production.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Rushing touchdown in win

    Barner caught his only target for eight yards while also adding a one-yard rushing touchdown during Sunday's 31-7 win over Arizona.

    Barner was on the field for 56 of the team's 70 total offensive snaps, but he left his mark on the game in the third quarter, punching the ball in from one yard out on a direct snap. The tight end has yet to find his stride as pass catcher this season, reeling in all three of his targets for 21 yards over the team's first two games.

  • Kenyon Sadiq TE | NYJ

    Jets' Kenyon Sadiq: Two snags in loss

    Sadiq caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers.

    Sadiq was only on the field for 27 of the team's 74 offensive snaps, but he was able to record multiple catches for the second game in a row to open his career. The most notable development of the game for Sadiq came in the second half when starting tight end Mason Taylor suffered a thumb injury. If Taylor is unavailable for Week 3, Sadiq would stand to operate as the Jets' unquestioned top option at tight end against the Lions' porous secondary.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Starts in Sunday's loss

    Washington caught one of his two targets for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

    Washington played 37 offensive snaps and two special-teams snaps as the tight end started alongside Pat Freiermuth. The 25-year-old has become a staple of the Steelers' 12-personnel offense and is slated to continue primarily serving as a blocker who sees occasional opportunities in the passing game.

  • Chris Myarick: Returns to Las Vegas' practice squad

    Myarick reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

    Myarick will head back to the practice squad after he logged three snaps on offense during Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers. If Brock Bowers (knee) is available to make his season debut in Week 3 against the Saints, it's unlikely that Myarick would be elevated for that contest.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Broncos' Evan Engram: Held to one catch vs. Jacksonville

    Engram hauled in his lone target for 17 yards during the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Engram's five-yard catch early in the second quarter was nullified by an illegal formation penalty. The veteran tight end didn't show up in the box score until his 17-yard grab midway through the fourth quarter, which helped lead to a three-yard rushing touchdown by rookie Jonah Coleman three plays later. Engram was listed as a co-starter at tight end alongside Adam Trautman, with the former playing 32 of 62 offensive snaps (51.6 percent). Engram's offensive production figures to fluctuate on a week-to-week basis, especially with Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton commanding most of the targets from Bo Nix. The Broncos will welcome in the Rams for Week 3 on Sept. 27.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Leads Bucs with five catches in Week 2 loss

    Otton caught five of six targets for 38 yards during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

    Four of the five passes Otton caught went for 10 yards or less, but he still led all Bucs pass catchers with five receptions while finishing third in receiving yards to Tez Johnson (49) and Chris Godwin (46). Otton played 58 of 65 offensive snaps (89.2 percent) and has served as a security blanket in the passing game for Baker Mayfield. That said, Otton may be used more as a pass blocker Week 3 against the Vikings and their blitz-happy defense under defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

  • Nick Muse TE | ATL

    Falcons' Nick Muse: Limited in estimated practice

    Muse (shoulder) was a limited participant in Monday's estimated practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Muse likely sustained his shoulder injury in the Falcons' loss to the Panthers on Sunday. The tight end was listed as limited, meaning there is a chance he could work through the injury and upgrade to full participation by Wednesday to dodge an injury designation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Packers.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Accumulates 34 yards in Week 2 loss

    Freiermuth caught four passes (on five targets) for 32 yards while logging a two-yard carry during the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Freiermuth and Darnell Washington were both named starters for Sunday's game, with the former leading all Steelers tight ends with 46 of 67 offensive snaps (68.7 percent). Unlike Week 1 against the Falcons, Freiermuth did not draw a red-zone target from Aaron Rodgers in Week 2, with the veteran quarterback averaging just 4.8 yards per pass attempt against New England. Freiermuth will take a 9-78-1 line (on 10 targets) into a Week 3 AFC North divisional showdown against the Bengals.
