Sanders caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

Since returning from an ankle injury in the Panthers' Week 7 win over the Jets, Sanders has caught just three of five targets for 19 yards. However, he still operated as the team's top tight end in Week 8, logging 31 offensive snaps to Tommy Tremble's 28. Sanders played a significant role on Carolina's offense before sustaining an injury, catching 11 of 14 targets for 82 yards over the team's first three games. He's expected to be more involved in the passing game during the Week 9 matchup against the Packers, especially if Bryce Young (ankle) returns to action.

Tremble caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

Since the return of Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Panthers' Week 7 win over the Jets, Tremble's offensive role has decreased. During that span, he's caught both of his targets for just four yards. Although Sanders also underwhelmed in the Week 8 loss (3-19-0), he played three more offensive snaps than Tremble. Expect Tremble to remain Carolina's No. 2 tight end in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers, likely with limited involvement in the passing game.

Otton had four receptions on five targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Saints.

Otton finished second in receiving production for the Buccaneers on a low-volume passing day. After a slow start to the campaign, the veteran tight end has picked things up with averages of 5.0 receptions and 59.3 yards over his last four appearances. Otton should continue seeing elevated usage out of Tampa Bay's upcoming bye week for a team dealing with multiple injuries at the receiver position.

Kraft hauled in seven of nine targets for 143 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 35-25 win over the Steelers.

Kraft scored the Packers' first and final touchdowns in a thrilling comeback victory, fittingly resulting in a career night on National Tight Ends Day. The 24-year-old was already riding a hot streak after scoring in each of his previous two outings, and he managed to surpass the combined production from those two starts with Sunday's statistical explosion. Kraft bumped his season line up to 29-469-6 through seven games, making him a premier fantasy option for next Sunday's tilt against Carolina.

Schultz brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

The veteran tight end was coming off a season-best 9-98-0 receiving line on 10 targets versus the Seahawks on Monday night, but even with top two receivers Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both sidelined, he was unable to build upon that production. Schultz downturn was surprising in that context, as he finished with season lows in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Schultz will look to bounce back in Week 9 against a tough Broncos defense, and he could once again play without at least one of his two injured wide receiver teammates.

Kincaid (oblique) brought in one of three targets for 23 yards in the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Making his return from a one-game absence that predated the Week 7 bye, Kincaid made a splash on his one catch but otherwise was quiet. The third-year tight end had posted a 108-yard performance against the Patriots in Week 5 before sitting out Week 6, but he's now recorded 48 receiving yards or less in four of his other five games heading into a Week 9 clash with the Chiefs at home next Sunday afternoon.

Warren finished with four receptions on five targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Titans.

Warren couldn't extend his scoring streak to five games after not being on the receiving end of any of QB Daniel Jones' three touchdown strikes Sunday. The 23-year-old Warren didn't leave fantasy managers empty-handed on National Tight Ends Day after recording at least 50 receiving yards for the sixth time in eight starts this year. The impressive rookie is up to 492 receiving yards on 37 receptions with four combined touchdowns as the Colts prepare to face the Steelers in Week 9.

Ruckert caught his only target for 24 yards in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

Ruckert maintained a secondary role as Mason Taylor (quadriceps) suited up after being listed as questionable. Taylor led the team with eight targets and caught the game-winning touchdown. Ruckert's likely to remain in a backup role after the Jets' Week 9 bye.

Kittle brought in four of five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Kittle commemorated the National Tight End Day quasi-holiday he helped bring about by recording his second touchdown of the season on a 17-yard grab just before halftime. Kittle had been shut out altogether in his Week 7 return from a hamstring injury, so Sunday's production was a particularly welcome sight for fantasy managers and included a new season-high yardage total for the veteran tight end. Kittle draws another favorable matchup irrespective of who his quarterback is when the 49ers face the Giants on the road in Week 9.

Ferguson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.

Ferguson has been one of the league's most productive tight ends in 2025, but he laid an egg against a tough Denver defense. He came into Sunday's loss riding a four-game, six-touchdown streak, and Ferguson had previously fallen short of five catches only once all season. Dallas' entire passing offense struggled, as Dak Prescott failed to throw a touchdown pass. Ferguson and his teammates will likely put forth a better performance at home against the Cardinals in Week 9.
