Gesicki hauled in seven of nine targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

Gesicki rebounded from a lackluster Week 1 performance to provide faithful managers with a strong receiving line against a tough defensive unit. The newly-signed tight end could wind up being a great fit as an auxiliary option for superstar QB Joe Burrow as this offense continues to progress following a tumultuous offseason. Gesicki remains a mid-range option in fantasy heading into a matchup against the Commanders on Monday Night Football.

McBride corralled all six of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams. He also scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery in the fourth quarter.

The Cardinals dominated this contest from start to finish. The fact that McBride finished as the squad's second-leading receiver in a run-heavy game script bodes well for the starter's fantasy prospects this season. The 2022 second-round pick has quietly provided 11 receptions for 97 yards through two games in his first season as the No. 1 option on the depth chart. McBride provides fantasy managers with a safe option at a generally shallow position with some added upside as both his game and this young offense develop over the course of the season.

Pruitt suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Pruitt was able to record a tackle in punt coverage Sunday, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury at some point along the way. The tight end's status should be updated when the team returns to practice Wednesday.

Kraft caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 16-10 win against the Colts.

The Packers went run-heavy with Malik Willis and not Jordan Love (knee) under center, rushing 53 times while Willis recorded just 14 passes. The results were meager receiving lines across the board aside from WRs Romeo Doubs (3-62-0 on three targets) and Dontayvion Wicks (3-26-1 on four targets), though Kraft again outproduced fellow second-year TE Luke Musgrave (1-6-0 on one target). Kraft and Musgrave both were in the starting lineup for a second game in a row to begin the season, but the former seemingly has the upper hand in terms of receiving potential -- albeit how little either player may have with Willis leading Green Bay's offense -- heading into a Week 3 road matchup with the Titans next Sunday.

Likely gathered in two of three targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Raiders.

After breaking out with a 9-111-1 line on 12 targets during a season-opening defeat at Kansas City, Likely had far less sway in the Ravens offense a week and a half later, tying for fourth on the team in targets behind WRs Zay Flowers (11) and Rashod Bateman (four) and fellow TE Mark Andrews (five). Likely wasn't looked at by QB Lamar Jackson until the second quarter, and his last two targets had to wait until the fourth period. Managers may have to ride the seesaw that is Likely this season, with his next chance to bounce back next Sunday in Dallas.

Kelce caught one of three targets for five yards and added a one-yard run in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

Kelce came just short of his first touchdown of the season in the third quarter, getting tackled inside the 1-yard line before backup left tackle Wanya Morris caught a touchdown on the next play to give Kansas City a 17-16 lead. The star tight end had a 41-yard catch called back on a holding penalty in the fourth quarter, so he came close to significantly improving his meager stat line on two separate occasions. As things stand, Kelce has just 39 receiving yards on the season heading into Week 3 against the Falcons.

Ertz caught all four of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

The veteran tight end led the Commanders in receiving yards as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels often had to get rid of the ball quickly on an afternoon that saw him get sacked five times. Ertz's role as one of Daniels' primary safety valves should give him a solid target floor, but at 33 years old, he may not be able to do significant damage with those looks. Ertz will try to put together another productive effort in Week 3 against the Bengals.

Schoonmaker caught all six of his targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.

With Jake Ferguson (knee) sidelined, Schoonmaker stepped into the starting lineup and made some athletic grabs, although his longest gain went for only 15 yards. The 2023 second-round recorded only eight receptions total as a rookie, but he appears ready to make an impact in his second NFL campaign. Ferguson's status for a Week 3 clash with the Ravens is still uncertain, but Schoonmaker's performance should reassure the Cowboys that they don't need to rush their starting tight end back into action.

Andrews brought in four of five targets for 51 yards in the Ravens' 26-23 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

As was the case in the Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, Andrews took a while to get going Sunday before finishing as the Ravens' second-leading pass catcher across the board thanks to his work in the second half. The veteran tight end doubled up position mate Isaiah Likely, who'd outperformed him in Week 1, in receptions, and he fell just one yard short of doing the same in that category. Andrews figures to be a key part of the passing game in a Week 3 road matchup against the Cowboys during which a desperate Ravens offense will have to be aggressive.

Kittle (cramps) finished with seven receptions off of eight targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.

Kittle's fantasy managers suffered a scare in the second half of Sunday's loss when the star tight end was carted off the field while favoring his leg. Fortunately, he was only being treated for cramping and returned to the contest in short order. Kittle tacked on one more reception for 16 yards before the game's conclusion to confirm his restored health. The eccentric tight end carries a 11/116/1 receiving line into a Week 3 matchup against the Rams.
