Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Solid showing against Baltimore
Schultz recorded five receptions on six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.
Schultz was C.J. Stroud's favorite target in the first half, recording four receptions on four targets for 53 yards. Schultz played a key role on multiple scoring drives for Houston, recording 11- and 12-yard receptions to keep a pair of possessions alive on third down before logging a 21-yard catch to set up a touchdown just before halftime. This was Schultz's highest yardage total of the season, and he has five receptions in three consecutive contests.

Trey McBride TE | ARI
Cardinals' Trey McBride: Limited to 41 yards
McBride recorded five receptions on seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans.
The Cardinals' offense completely stalled in the second half, with Kyler Murray throwing for only 78 yards in the final two quarters. That led to a muted stat line for McBride, who still led the team in targets and was tied for the lead in receptions. However, his longest catch of the day went for only 12 yards, and he's now been held below 55 yards in each of his last three games.

Mason Taylor TE | NYJ
Jets' Mason Taylor: Role continues to grow
Taylor caught nine of 12 targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys. He also caught a two-point conversion.
The rookie tight end led the Jets in catches and targets and was only four yards back of Garrett Wilson for the team lead in that category as well. Taylor is blossoming now that he's put an early-season ankle issue behind him, and over the last three games he's delivered an 18-150-0 line on 25 targets as he begins to establish himself as the team's No. 2 pass-catching option behind Wilson. Taylor will look for his first career touchdown in Week 6 against the Broncos.

Jake Ferguson TE | DAL
Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Hauls in two TDs in win
Ferguson caught seven of nine targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-22 win over the Jets.
Dak Prescott continues to lean heavily on the tight end while CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is sidelined. Ferguson was on the other end of two of the QB's four TD passes on the afternoon, hitting paydirt on a 26-yard strike and a one-yard toss in the second quarter as the Cowboys built a 23-3 lead before halftime. Over three games since Lamb went down, Ferguson has compiled a 27-171-3 line on 30 targets, and his seven receptions Sunday were a team high. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 6 against the Panthers.

Dallas Goedert TE | PHI
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Gets into end zone again Sunday
Goedert brought in three of nine targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Goedert was surprisingly second on the Eagles in targets, but he had the third-fewest receiving yards during an inefficient afternoon against a tough Denver defense. Nevertheless, Goedert got into the end zone for the third time in the last two games on a two-yard catch just past the halfway point of the second quarter. Goedert has all four of his touchdowns this season in the last three games, and although he's averaging only 8.9 yards per reception, he remains an intriguing option at his position for a favorable road Week 6 matchup against the Giants on Thursday night.

Juwan Johnson TE | NO
Saints' Juwan Johnson: Role shrinks in Week 5 win
Johnson caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Giants.
The tight end produced his worst numbers of 2025, and while the returns of Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau from knee injuries didn't cut into Johnson's workload at all -- he was on the field for 56 offensive snaps (85 percent) -- Spencer Rattler and the Saints' offense did make an effort to attack downfield more than they had in the first month of the year. That change may have had more to do with the quality of the Giants' secondary than it did any growth in Rattler's game, but the window for Johnson to be a reliable fantasy option may be closing rapidly. He'll try to bounce back in Week 6 against the Patriots.

Darren Waller TE | MIA
Dolphins' Darren Waller: Stays productive in Week 5 loss
Waller secured all five targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Waller made a splash with a two-touchdown effort in a Week 4 win over the Jets, a game that marked his first regular-season action since the 2023 season. With Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) going down for the season in that contest, Waller figured to see his opportunity rise exponentially beginning with Sunday's game, and that came to fruition. While the majority of the veteran tight end's production came in the first half, Waller still finished second in receptions and receiving yards for Miami on the afternoon while adding a four-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter. Waller figures to remain a key figure in the air attack during a Week 6 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Daniel Bellinger TE | NYG
Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Leads Big Blue in receiving yards
Bellinger caught all four of his targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints.
The 52 receiving yards not only led the Giants on the afternoon, they were a season high for Bellinger, who caught multiple passes in a game for the first time in 2025. The elevated usage came in the wake of Malik Nabers (knee) being lost for the season, as rookie QB Jaxson Dart wasn't able to stretch the field at all -- Bellinger's 18-yard grab in the first quarter was New York's longest completion. Theo Johnson also saw more volume than usual and was on the other end of both of Dart's TD passes, making him the top option for the team at tight end, but Bellinger could see enough targets to have some deep-league utility during a Week 6 clash with the Eagles.

Theo Johnson TE | NYG
Giants' Theo Johnson: Snags two TDs in Week 5 loss
Johnson caught six of seven targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints.
With Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the season, rookie QB Jaxson Dart turned to the short passing game to keep the offense moving as Johnson and fellow TE Daniel Bellinger combined to haul in 10 passes on 11 targets for 85 yards, while rookie RB Cam Skattebo added a 6-45-0 line on seven targets. Johnson was the only one of the trio to get into the end zone, however, catching a one-yard score in the first quarter and a 15-yard strike in the second -- Dart's only two TDs of the afternoon. The six catches and seven targets were also season highs for Johnson, and his role in what appears to be a very limited Giants passing attack could remain elevated in Week 6 against the Eagles.

Tip Reiman TE | ARI
Cardinals' Tip Reiman: Carted off field
Reiman was carted off the field after sustaining an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
The cart quickly came out for Reiman after he went down with a right ankle injury, and he has been officially ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Elijah Higgins will step into the TE2 role behind Trey McBride in Reiman's absence.
