Goedert secured four of seven targets for 36 yards in the Eagles' 38-31 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Goedert saw the top wideout duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith garner the majority of Jalen Hurts' attention, as he finished a distant third in receptions and receiving yards to his pair of talented teammates. The veteran tight end's middling yardage number was his first tally below 40 since Week 4 against this same Commanders squad, but he could be more involved in a Week 9 home showdown against the Cowboys.

Henry brought in all three targets for 28 yards in the Patriots' 31-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

The veteran tight end tied Kendrick Bourne (knee) for second on the Patriots in receptions while finishing third in receiving yards. Henry has, in relative terms, bounced back from a particularly rough two-game stretch in Weeks 5 and 6 during which he posted just one catch for seven yards on five targets, now having recorded a 5-55 line on six targets in the ensuing pair of contests. Nevertheless, as with the rest of the Patriots' pass catchers, his output is seemingly capped by Mac Jones' limitations under center, although he could see a larger role in a Week 9 home matchup against the Commanders if DeVante Parker (head) and Bourne are sidelined.

Ruckert didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

Ruckert has at least one target in each of the last four games but just five targets on the season. The second-year tight end continues to play a minor role in the Jets' low-octane passing attack.

Conklin didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

Conklin had at least three catches in each of the previous five games, but he didn't account for any of Zach Wilson's 17 completions in the overtime victory. His two targets matched the combined total of C.J. Uzomah and Jeremy Ruckert, so Conklin remains the top pass catching option among the Jets' tight ends heading into a Week 9 home game against the Chargers on MNF.

Uzomah caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

Uzomah was the only tight end to log a catch for the Jets in this one, as Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert combined for zero receptions on three targets. Uzomah has yet to see more than two targets in a game this season.

McBride hauled in 10 of his 14 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Baltimore.

McBride absorbed veteran Zach Ertz's (quadriceps) targets after the latter was placed on injured reserve following last week's loss to Seattle. The end result was a career game for McBride, who upped his season receiving line to 25-265-1 through eight weeks. The 2022 second-round pick generated the exact same amount of receiving yards and touchdowns as a rookie, but he needed twice as many games to reach those totals in 2022. Ertz will miss Arizona's next three games at a minimum, opening the door for McBride to provide fantasy value until the veteran returns, beginning with next Sunday's tilt against Cleveland.

Kelce finished with six receptions on nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Broncos.

Patrick Mahomes turned the ball over three times while failing to score a touchdown Sunday, resulting in down games for most of Kansas City's position players. Kelce still produced a useful fantasy line despite his quarterback's struggles, but it felt like a down game after the star tight end combined for 31 receptions, 370 yards and two touchdowns over the previous three weeks. Kelce and the entire Chiefs offense will look to rebound as they prepare for a potential shootout against the Dolphins in Germany next Sunday.

Andrews caught four of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Cardinals.

Andrews scored from five yards out in the first quarter for his third touchdown in the last two games and sixth of the season. The tight end tied running back Justice Hill for the team lead in receiving yards as Baltimore went with a run-heavy approach that included three rushing touchdowns from Gus Edwards. Andrews has caught between four and six passes in every appearance this season heading into a Week 9 home game against the Seahawks.

Kittle brought in nine of 11 targets for 149 yards in the 49ers' 31-17 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

The prolific tight end led the 49ers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, with all his figures also qualifying as season highs. Kittle has an abundant 18 targets over the last pair of contests, and his performance Sunday offered a vivid reminder of the upside he possesses when he's freed up to operate more as a receiver than blocker. Kittle and the 49ers return to action in a Week 10 road matchup against the Jaguars following a Week 9 bye.

Hockenson caught six of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.

The tight end's big day was punctuated by a two-yard TD from Kirk Cousins in the third quarter. Unfortunately for Hockenson and the rest of Minnesota's receiving options, Cousins suffered what's feared to be a season-ending Achilles tear late in Sunday's contest. With Nick Mullens (back) on IR for at least one more game, that will likely leave fifth-round rookie Jaren Hall under center in Week 9 against the Falcons.
