Tonyan caught an 18-yard pass in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Tonyan is averaging less than one reception per game, and he's yet to post 20 yards in any contest. Unless he moves into a more prominent receiving role, he'll have limited fantasy value.

McBride brought in three of five targets for 22 yards in the Cardinals' 27-0 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

McBride's catch and yardage totals, modest as they were, qualified as the second highest for the Cardinals on an afternoon when rookie Clayton Tune threw for only 58 yards in his starting debut. Despite the downturn following a breakout 10-catch, 95-yard, one-touchdown performance versus the Ravens in Week 8, McBride could reemerge as a significant component in the air attack if Kyler Murray (knee) is activated ahead of a Week 10 home matchup against the Falcons.

Otton secured six of nine targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Otton was the surprising leader in receptions and targets for the Bucs on the afternoon, exploiting a Texans defense that had been vulnerable to tight ends in the first half of the season. The second-year pro found the end zone from three and 14 yards out for his first two scores since Week 4 against the Saints, and he's now amassed an impressive 15 receptions on 21 targets over his last three games. Otton will look to carry over his burgeoning chemistry with Baker Mayfield into a Week 10 home matchup against the Titans.

Schultz brought in 10 of 11 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Schultz's career-best day saw him lead the Texans in receptions and tie with Tank Dell for the team lead in targets. The veteran tight end also recorded his fourth touchdown of the campaign on a nine-yard grab early in the fourth quarter, his fourth trip to the end zone in the last five games. Schultz has developed quick chemistry with C.J. Stroud, and despite the amount of weapons available to the rookie signal-caller, Schultz should continue playing a key role in a Week 10 road matchup against the Bengals.

Njoku brought in four of six targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 27-0 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

The veteran tight end finished second on Cleveland in receptions and targets in Deshaun Watson's return from a shoulder injury, and he added his second touchdown in as many weeks on a five-yard scoring grab in the third quarter. Njoku has been on quite the productive streak over the last three games, recording a 13-157-1 line in that span. Njoku should once again play an important role in a key Week 10 divisional road matchup against the Ravens next Sunday.

Sullivan sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's loss to the Colts, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Sullivan had a productive day before his departure, securing four of five targets for 28 yards. It's unclear whether his shoulder injury will impact his availability for Thursday's game in Chicago.

Goedert (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Goedert went to the locker room after falling awkwardly at the end of a catch in the second half. He was originally deemed questionable to return but has subsequently been ruled out. Goedert will finish Sunday's game with three catches for 50 yards on four targets. While the severity of Goedert's injury has yet to be clarified, the tight end will have the benefit of a Week 10 bye to recover before the Eagles return to action in a Week 11 Super Bowl rematch in Kansas City on Monday Night Football.

Ogletree (foot) didn't return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Ogletree was considered questionable to return to Sunday's game after sustaining a foot injury, but he was unavailable down the stretch. Whether he'll be available next Sunday against New England remains to be seen.

Hockenson recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over Atlanta. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game that Hockenson is also dealing with an oblique/rib issue, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Hockenson had a quiet first half, hauling in only one of three targets for seven yards. However, he came alive as Joshua Dobbs got settled into the game, with two of the tight end's catches going for key first downs and another setting up the game-winning score in the second half. Hockenson has now topped 50 receiving yards in five consecutive games, and it appears that he'll remain productive even without Kirk Cousins (Achilles). However, Hockenson also suffered an oblique or rib issue, so monitoring his status for a Week 10 matchup against New Orleans will be important.

Goedert officially was diagnosed with a right forearm injury during Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

At the end of a 28-yard catch and run, Goedert had his right arm twisted to the ground and also landed hard on that region, which forced him to the locker room late in the third quarter. Per Zangaro, X-rays were ordered up for Goedert before he was deemed questionable to return. Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam are the only other healthy tight ends on the active roster with Grant Calcaterra (concussion) inactive.
