Henry recorded four receptions on four targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts.

The Patriots seemed to prioritize getting their tight ends involved in Sunday's win against the Colts, as Henry and Jonnu Smith combined to see eight targets. Henry did the majority of his damage on a 30-yard catch early in the fourth quarter -- New England's longest play from scrimmage -- to help set up a field goal on the same drive. Overall, he now has three games with at least four catches and 50 yards on the campaign.

Hurst recorded five receptions on five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Panthers.

Hurst did the majority of his damage in the first half, racking up four receptions for 22 yards. With the Bengals up by 35 after two quarters, the team significantly scaled back its passing attack, in turn limiting all pass catchers' numbers. Even so, Hurst has topped 40 yards and recorded at least four catches in each of his last three games.

Moreau recorded two receptions on five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Moreau was the Raiders' primary tight end for the third consecutive game in the absence of Darren Waller (hamstring). He did the majority of his damage on a 30-yard reception early in the second quarter, which helped set up a long touchdown pass to Davante Adams. In each of the last three games without Waller, Moreau has seen a minimum of five targets, though that's translated to only 101 total yards.

Otton caught five of six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.

The rookie tight end was quiet most of the game, but he emerged as Tom Brady's favorite target in the fourth quarter, hauling in a 28-yard pass to begin the Bucs' final possession before capping it with a one-yard game-winning TD with just nine seconds left on the clock. Otton has seen at least five targets in all four games Cameron Brate (neck) has missed this season, and the trust he's earning from Brady could allow him to retain a significant role even if Brate is healthy for a Week 10 clash with the Seahawks in Germany.

Ertz caught five of eight targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.

The tight end caught a six-yard strike from Kyler Murray with less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter to bring the Cardinals within a field goal, but the Arizona defense couldn't stop Seattle from answering back. Ertz has found the end zone in back-to-back games, giving him four TDs on the season, and he'll look to extend that streak in Week 10 against a Rams defense that just gave up a game-winning score to Buccaneers rookie TE Cade Otton.

Fant caught five of six targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

The tight end nearly doubled his previous season high in receiving yards as he led the Seahawks in that category. Fant's target volume remains erratic -- Sunday's five targets represented his second-highest usage of the year -- but his role in the Seattle offense appears to be growing heading into a Week 10 clash with Tampa Bay in Germany.

Pitts secured two of seven targets for 27 yards in the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Pitts paced the Falcons in receiving yards and tied with Drake London for the lead in targets, but the sparseness of the former tally is a testament to how underwhelming a day it was for Atlanta's air attack overall. The athletic tight end is a victim of head coach Arthur Smith's decision to keep Marcus Mariota in a very strict game-manager role, so expectations should be tempered despite what would seem to be a mostly favorable matchup against the Panthers in a Week 10 Thursday night clash.

Kmet secured five of six targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns and rushed twice for nine yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Kmet was second or tied for second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Bears, but his pair of touchdown grabs made it a prolific fantasy day overall for the previously struggling tight end. Kmet, whose scores came from 18 and four yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, now has three trips to the end zone over the last two contests, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 home divisional matchup against the Lions.

Hockenson brought in all nine targets for 70 yards in the Vikings' 20-17 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

The newly acquired tight end made quite the splash in his first game in Minnesota, posting a team-high reception total while checking in second in yardage and targets to Justin Jefferson. Hockenson's robust usage and the fact he outpaced Adam Thielen by six receptions overall could signal the dawning of a new day in the Vikings offense, with head coach Kevin O'Connell apparently willing to deploy Hockenson as much more of a pass-catching asset than he did Irv Smith (ankle). Hockenson's first opportunity to build on the standout effort comes in a tough Week 10 road showdown against the Bills.

Everett caught five of eight targets for 36 yards and added one rushing attempt for no gain in Sunday's 20-17 win over Atlanta.

Everett notched a third consecutive five-catch performance but didn't make much of an impact otherwise. He has drawn 24 targets over the past three games and should continue to see plenty of looks from Justin Herbert in Week 10 against the 49ers, especially if Keenan Allen (hamstring) and/or Mike Williams (ankle) remain sidelined.
