Bowers brought in four of nine targets for 70 yards in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Bowers came on in the second half as the Raiders tried to mount a comeback, but he saw fellow tight end Michael Mayer outpace him by three receptions and 25 receiving yards on the same number of targets. Bowers' reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season lows, underscoring how significant his production had been over his first three games of the campaign. Bowers should be heavily involved again in a Week 7 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.

Ferguson caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday night's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Ferguson matched his season low with two catches, and he has now been held to 23 or fewer yards in five of six contests to open the season. The tight end hasn't found the end zone since Week 3, and through six games, he's caught 17 of 24 targets for 115 yards and three scores. Ferguson reeled in a career-high 82 passes over 17 regular-season contests in 2025, and he has some work to do to return to that form in 2026.

Kraft caught five of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday night's 23-13 win over the Cowboys.

Kraft briefly exited the game in the second half but quickly returned after a visit to the medical tent. His eight targets tied Christian Watson for third on the team behind Matthew Golden's 13, and this Green Bay offense has settled on funneling its targets mostly through the two wideouts and tight end. Kraft has just one touchdown on the season and has failed to top 65 receiving yards in a game, while being held below 45 yards four times. The upside hasn't been there, but Kraft's position as an every-down tight end in an elite offense keeps him squarely in the TE1 conversation.

Otton caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers.

Otton ws targeted on just two of Jalon Daniels' 43 pass attempts, good for a lousy 4.7 percent share. The tight end has yet to catch a touchdown this season and has been held below 40 yards in five of six contests. He's a low-floor fantasy option at the position who is best left on waivers.

Sadiq caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Patriots.

Sadiq was able to clear concussion protocol during the week, but the rookie tight end has been playing through minor injuries all season. Since catching seven passes for 105 yards in Week 3 against the Lions, Sadiq has just three catches for 15 yards on 10 targets over the last three contests. He's become waiver-wire fodder in redraft leagues.

Freiermuth caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Bucs.

Freiermuth entered Week 6 questionable due to a calf injury, but he ended up running 41 routes on Aaron Rodgers' 56 dropbacks. The tight end just didn't do much in the box score and was targeted on just 6.1 percent of Rodgers' 49 pass attempts. Freiermuth has already scored four touchdowns this season but has just 180 receiving yards on 21 grabs across 29 targets through six games. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option.

Schultz caught four of six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars.

Schultz actually led the team with his six targets, but C.J. Stroud spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers on a day he attempted 34 passes. Schultz has been held to 35 yards or fewer in five of six games this season and has yet to visit the end zone. He's a low-floor, low-ceiling fantasy bet ahead of next Sunday's date with the Giants.

Waller failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Eagles.

Waller dealt with a toe injury during the practice week and ended up playing behind both Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans in this one, as Tremble was the big producer in the box score, catching a pair of red-zone touchdowns. Waller is one of the many touchdown-or-bust fantasy options at the tight end position.

Johnson failed to reel in either of his targets during Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Johnson went without a catch in a regular-season contest for the first time since Week 3 of the 2024 campaign. The tight end had reeled in at least three passes in each of the team's first five games of the year. Over the last two weeks, Johnson has caught four of seven targets for 16 yards, and his next chance to get back on track will come in Week 7 against the Steelers in Paris.

Strange caught five of seven targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans.

Strange finished tied for the team lead in catches with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers while his seven targets were third behind Meyers (10) and Parker Washington (11). The tight end has now reeled in at least five passes in three straight contests, compiling 207 receiving yards on 19 catches in those games. The Jaguars are off in Week 7, so his next chance to continue his momentum will come Nov. 1 against the Colts.
