Hooper logged 38 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers while catching both of his targets for 13 yards and a TD, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, fellow tight end Hunter Henry was on the field for 50 snaps en route to hauling in two of three targets for 12 yards. Through four contests to date, Hooper has six catches on 11 targets for 68 yards and a TD, a pace that keeps him off the fantasy radar while splitting work with Henry.

Conklin caught four of eight targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

After leading the Jets with 93 receiving yards in a 24-3 win against the Patriots the week before, Conklin crashed back down to earth despite tying Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard for the team lead in targets against the Broncos. Conklin didn't catch either of his two first-half targets and had a 12-yard catch in the third quarter nullified by a penalty, but he chipped in a few short catches after that point to at least salvage a passable PPR performance. Conklin and the Jets will try to bounce back against the Vikings in a Week 5 trip to London.

Akins caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders.

Akins filled in for starter David Njoku (ankle) for a third consecutive game, but he saw his fewest snaps of any of those contests. Blake Whiteheart (21 snaps) and Geoff Swaim (24) shared the load at tight end Sunday. Akins has nine receptions on 14 targets for 76 yards over four games this season.

Whiteheart caught all three of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.

Whiteheart capped Cleveland's first drive of the game with a one-yard touchdown grab, the first of his career. He was targeted twice on the 15-play drive and wound up being more productive than starter Jordan Akins, who caught one of two targets for 10 yards. Until David Njoku (ankle) is ready to play, Whiteheart and Akins could split red-zone looks.

Andrews dropped his only target in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.

Andrews uncharacteristically dropped a sure catch that hit him in the hands early in Sunday's lopsided victory. The All-Pro tight end still helped his team to victory with several key blocks in front of Derrick Henry (24-199-1) and the rest of Baltimore's rushing attack. That said, the perennial fantasy stud has faded in 2024 to the tune of a 6-65-0 receiving line through four weeks, providing no relief for fantasy managers who took him early in drafts. Andrews will perhaps re-establish trust with both fantasy GMs and his MVP quarterback when the Ravens visit the Bengals in Week 5.

Kincaid caught five of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.

Kincaid continued the trend of increasing his target and receiving yard totals in every game this season, topping his respective Week 3 marks of five and 41. He's still searching for the first 50-yard performance of his sophomore season after topping that mark in six of his last 11 regular-season games as a rookie. Kincaid will try to finally reach that threshold in Week 5 against the Texans.

Henry brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.

Henry finished with disappointing numbers for the third time in four starts this season. The veteran tight end saw one more target than backup Austin Hooper, but the latter was the recipient of Jacoby Brissett's lone passing touchdown in the loss. Henry showed us in Week 2 that he can be a fantasy factor, but that glow has faded heading into Sunday's tilt against the Dolphins.

Kelce recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers.

After combining to earn only 12 targets through three games this season, Kelce finally saw a more significant role in the Chiefs' offense. He had a few big gains on the day, the longest of which was a 38-yard catch down the right sideline on the team's first possession. While Kelce isn't likely to return to his production from past campaigns, he'll almost certainly regain his role as the centerpiece of the offense with Rashee Rice (knee) suffering an apparent long-term injury Sunday.

Bowers caught two of three targets for 19 yards and added a 12-yard run in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Bowers has just seven targets in Vegas' last two games after being targeted 17 times in his first two games, as defenses have paid more attention to the rookie first-round pick after his hot start. He scored five touchdowns on 19 rushing attempts over his three years at Georgia, so perhaps Bowers will add more of that element to his game moving forward after registering his first NFL rushing attempt in Sunday's win. Bowers will look to increase his involvement as a pass catcher Week 5 against the Broncos.

Parkinson brought in four of seven targets for 33 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Parkinson tied for second in receptions and was the runner-up in targets as well on the afternoon for the Rams, who continued to operate without top two receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee). The fifth-year veteran has at least three receptions in three of his first four games, but if Tyler Higbee comes off the reserve/PUP list ahead of a Week 5 home matchup against the Packers, Parkinson's role in the offense could start to diminish even if Kupp and Nacua remain out.
