Parkinson secured all three targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-7 win against the Jaguars.

The quartet of Rams' tight ends each played at least a third of the snaps on offense, with Parkinson leading the position group in yardage, Terrance Ferguson snaring a touchdown, and Tyler Higbee (who notably played the least out of the group) earning six targets. Given the diversity in usage between the four tight ends, a breakthrough for fantasy purposes seems highly unlikely. Parkinson's 7-58-0 receiving line is just slightly below his typical standard over the past three seasons, and his next chance to add to that total will be in two weeks, as the Rams are on bye in Week 8.

Tonges logged eight snaps on offense (12 percent) and was not targeted in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons.

George Kittle (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve for Sunday's contest, which pushed Tonges back down to third on the tight end depth chart. Luke Farrell (33 percent) finished second in playing time behind Kittle (81 percent), as it appears that the coaching staff prefers the former's blocking in the No. 2 role over Tonges' play-making ability. Tonges did an admirable job filling in for Kittle, producing a 25-224-3 receiving line in five-plus games played. Fantasy managers can safely move on from Tonges in Week 8, but he is a name to remember for any games Kittle might miss in the future.

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Bowers (knee) is expected to be back on the field after the team's Week 8 bye, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Bowers hasn't played since Week 4 due to a lingering PCL injury and bone bruise, but the star tight end is expected to be back in the lineup Week 9 versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 2. Carroll said the same of wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe), who joined Bowers on the sideline during the team's blowout 31-0 loss to Kansas City in Week 7. Bowers surpassed 100 receiving yards Week 1 but then logged three consecutive games below the 50-yard mark and without a touchdown while playing through his knee injury, so fantasy managers will hope he's able to return to both full health and his usual productivity levels when back in the lineup.

Waller is considered week-to-week due to a strained pectoral that the Dolphins do not believe will require surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Waller was forced out of Miami's loss to the Browns in Week 7 after playing just 15 offensive snaps without recording a catch, and he now appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. With the Dolphins already without Tyreek Hill (torn ACL) for the rest of the season, an absence for any stretch of time on Waller's part will be a significant blow to a passing game that's already struggling. Tight ends Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will benefit from increased workloads Week 8 if Waller can't go, as will wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in the No. 3 role behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waller isn't expected to be available versus Atlanta or on Thursday Night Football against the Ravens in Week 9, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Njoku (knee) remains day-to-day, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku missed three straight practices before being ruled out for Cleveland's eventual win over the Dolphins in Week 7. He'll almost certainly need to retake the field as at least a limited participant before returning to the lineup, meaning Njoku's status at practice will have to be monitored ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots. Rookie Harold Fannin will continue benefiting from an increased workload until Njoku returns to action.

Long caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.

With Brenton Strange (IR, hip) sidelined due to an injury, Long operated as the Jaguars' No. 1 tight end in the Week 7 loss. However, the increase in playing time didn't translate to production, as Long finished Sunday's contest with the sixth-most targets (three) and receiving yards (16) on the team. The 27-year-old is expected to remain Jacksonville's top tight end until Strange returns from injured reserve, but that likely won't yield significant fantasy value. His next opportunity to take the field will likely come in Week 9 against the Raiders.

Hooper caught both his targets for 11 yards and a TD in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

Overall, Hooper has compiled a 10-116-1 receiving line on 11 targets through seven games, a rate of production that keeps the veteran tight end off the fantasy radar as long as Hunter Henry remains healthy.

Ruckert didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

Ruckert seemingly had an opportunity to step up, as the Jets were without top wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) and the Panthers entered Week 7 having allowed the most yards in the league to tight ends. Instead, Ruckert was blanked completely while Mason Taylor also came up short of expectations with three catches for 31 yards on five targets. Taylor has clearly surpassed Ruckert in the passing game heading into a Week 8 trip to Cincinnati.

Conner secured one of three targets for 28 yards during Miami's ' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Conner and Julian Hill (one catch for one yard on two targets) both saw increased usage due to Darren Waller (pectoral) being forced off the field early versus Cleveland. With Tyreek Hill (IR, knee) already done for the year, both Conner and Hill will attain limited fantasy value in deeper leagues that require multiple starting tight ends if Waller remains sidelined for Miami's road matchup at Atlanta in Week 8.

Hill brought in one of two targets for one yard during the Dolphins' 31-6 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Hill and Tanner Conner (one catch for 28 yards on three targets) both saw increased involvement Sunday with Darren Waller (pectoral) making an early exit, but neither were able to translate that opportunity into notable production due to a miserable showing from Tua Tagovailoa and Miami's passing game. If Waller remains sidelined as the Dolphins look to bounce back on the road versus Atlanta in Week 8, Hill will gain limited fantasy appeal in deeper formats that require multiple starting tight ends.
