Okonkwo recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.

Okonkwo saw his snap rate dip below 50 percent and narrowly out-produced Josh Whyle. A touchdown propped up Okonkwo's Week 1 stat line, though he now has only 31 yards combined on five catches across two games.

Fant caught one of three targets in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.

It was another underwhelming performance by Fant, as he has produced just 25 receiving yards despite Geno Smith throwing for 498 yards through two games. Fant is still playing plenty of snaps, as he handled an 80 percent share in Week 2. However, it appears Fant's role hasn't improved much in the Seahawks' new system.

Kalinic reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Kalinic played 14 snaps during Sunday's 41-10 loss at Arizona, all on special teams. Whether he gets called back up for Week 3 action might depend on the availability of Davis Allen (back).

Fant reverted to Dallas' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Fant played 14 snaps during Sunday's 44-19 loss versus the Saints, all on special teams. If Jake Ferguson (knee) returns for Week 3 as expected, it's hard to imagine any other Cowboys tight end carrying much fantasy value.

Whiteheart reverted to Cleveland's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Whiteheart played a healthy 22 offensive snaps during Sunday's 18-13 win at Jacksonville, but he didn't draw any targets. He might suit up again in Week 3 if David Njoku (ankle) remains unavailable.

Franks reverted to Carolina's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Franks played just one offensive snap during Sunday's 26-3 loss versus the Chargers. With Tommy Tremble presumably close to being back to full strength, it's hard to imagine Franks earning a significant share of the Panthers' tight-end snaps any time soon.

Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.

Musgrave and fellow tight end Tucker Kraft both were credited with a start for the second time in as many weeks, and Musgrave closed the gap on his counterpart in the snap department after a wide disparity Week 1. However, Musgrave was on the field for 31 of the 70 plays Green Bay ran Week 2 while Kraft was out there for 56. Kraft already has a leg up and is receiving ample praise for his blocking abilities, so expect Musgrave to remain the complementary option among the two.

Saubert finished with two receptions on as many targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.

Saubert failed to bring in his lone target against the Jets in Week 1, officially recording his first reception with San Francisco after signing with the club this past offseason. The veteran backup saw 26 snaps on offense in the loss compared to starter George Kittle's 51. Saubert won't generate much fantasy buzz in games that Kittle is active for this season.

Parkinson secured one of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Parkinson's stats took a step back from a solid Week 1 performance, but the entire Rams offense struggled with just 269 yards of total offense in the blowout. Cooper Kupp (ankle) almost certainly is going to miss time after being seen in a walking boot after the contest, which leaves Parkinson, Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson as the team's leading receiving options until Kupp, Puka Nacua (knee) or Tyler Higbee (knee) return from injury.

Farrell caught both his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 18-13 loss to Cleveland.

The 26-year-old had an increased role since starting tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was a late scratch Sunday, but it was Brenton Strange who operated as Jacksonville's primary tight end with three catches for 65 yards and a 68 percent snap share. Farrell played 28 of 60 offensive snaps and is unlikely to be significantly involved in the passing game even if Engram misses more time.
