  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Held to one catch

    Helm recorded one catch on one target for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

    Helm was on the field for a season-high 43 percent of offensive snaps, but that didn't translate to opportunity. This marked the first time that he failed to record multiple targets in a game this season, though he also hasn't earned more than three in any contest. Helm is a name to consider in deep dynasty leagues but is otherwise off the fantasy radar.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Four yards on three targets

    Okonkwo recorded one catch on three targets for four yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

    Cam Ward's struggles continued, as he completed only 38.5 percent of his passes while passing for 108 yards. No skill-position player on Tennessee's roster was able to excel as a result, and Okonkwo was no exception. The tight end leads the team in catches with 13 and is third in targets with 19, but that volume has resulted in only 124 receiving yards and zero TDs through four games.

  • Carter Runyon: Joins Las Vegas' roster

    The Raiders signed Runyon from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

    Runyon was elevated from the practice squad ahead of this past Sunday's loss to Chicago and logged 15 snaps on special teams (but no offensive snaps). He subsequently reverted back to the practice squad, but Las Vegas has elected to give him a spot on its active roster. Runyon could have a hard time getting into games on offense, however, as he's behind Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer (concussion) and Ian Thomas on the tight-end depth chart.

  • Bears' Colston Loveland: Takes part in practice Tuesday

    Loveland (hip) was spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Tuesday's practice session, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    After he managed just one limited practice in Week 4 prep due to a hip injury, Loveland ended up sitting out Sunday's 25-24 win over the Raiders. The rookie first-round pick appears to be trending in the right direction, however, as he took the field for an unofficial practice Tuesday during the team's Week 5 bye. With extra time to heal up, Loveland should be on track to return for the Bears' Week 6 matchup with the Commanders on Oct. 13.

  • Jeremy Ruckert TE | NYJ

    Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Hauls in 23-yard pass

    Ruckert caught his lone target for 23 yards during the Jets' 27-21 loss to the Dolphins on Monday.

    Ruckert continues to be firmly entrenched as the Jets' TE2 behind rookie first-rounder Mason Taylor, with the former playing 25 snaps on offense and seven on special teams during Monday's loss. Ruckert has opened the 2025 regular season with a 4-44-1 line through four games.

  • Tanner Conner TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Not targeted in win over Jets

    Conner was not targeted during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.

    Conner's already marginal involvement in the passing game took a backseat with the debut of veteran tight end Darren Waller. Though Waller was limited to 28 percent of offensive snaps Week 4, he was heavily utilized in those opportunities and only projects to expand his reps as the season progresses. Conner played just nine offensive snaps versus New York and he figures to face similar utilization going forward, beginning Sunday on the road against Carolina in Week 5.

  • Noah Gray TE | KC

    Chiefs' Noah Gray: Minimal impact in Week 4

    Gray gathered in his only target for one yard during Sunday's 37-20 win versus the Ravens.

    Gray's Week 4 showing is a bit of a disappointment after he claimed a combined 11 targets over the previous two contests. Gray has combined his season efforts to accumulate just six catches for 22 yards through four games, and any value he may have likely directly links to the availability of Travis Kelce. As long as Kelce is healthy and playing his full complement of snaps, Gray is unlikely to find fantasy relevance, barring the occasional touchdown.

  • Julian Hill TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Secures one of two targets

    Hill brought in one of two targets for 19 yards during Miami's 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday.

    Hill made the most of his lone reception, but it was the two-touchdown debut of veteran Darren Waller that stole headlines at the tight end position. Waller only played 28 percent of offensive snaps Monday but figures to continue ramping up that total as the season progresses, which positions Hill and Tanner Conner for reserve duties Week 5 against the Panthers.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: Highly encouraging season debut

    Waller secured three of four targets for 27 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night.

    The veteran tight end finally got on the field following his year-plus span on the sideline, with the majority of that absence due to his retirement during the 2024 offseason. Waller also had to overcome a hip issue before getting on the field Monday night, but he mostly looked like his old self while recording four- and nine-yard touchdown grabs in the second and third quarters, respectively. Waller's apparent readiness to immediately contribute is particularly a welcome sight in the context of Miami likely having lost Tyreek Hill for the remainder of the season Monday due to a knee dislocation, as the Dolphins offense will be in need of playmakers to absorb the significant loss.

  • Mason Taylor TE | NYJ

    Jets' Mason Taylor: Post season highs on MNF

    Taylor had five receptions (on seven targets) for 65 yards in Monday's 27-21 loss to the Dolphins.

    This was Taylor's finest game through four starts this season after he finished as the Jets' second-leading receiver behind Garrett Wilson. The 21-year-old Taylor has seen his target share increase on a weekly basis, finally culminating in a stat line that fantasy managers can get excited about. Perhaps Taylor can maintain this level of involvement against the Cowboys on Sunday as the Jets desperately search for a reliable No. 2 receiving option behind Wilson.
