C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI
Jets' C.J. Uzomah: Three catches against Bills
Uzomah caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.
Uzomah set a new season high with three receptions and actually saw one more target than fellow Jets tight end Tyler Conklin, but this performance still didn't move the needle much in fantasy. Look for Uzomah to continue focusing primarily on blocking when the Jets resume play after their Week 10 bye.

Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Seahawks' Colby Parkinson: Season-high snap count
Parkinson hauled in both of his targets for a total of six yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.
The third-year tight end logged a season-high 29 offensive snaps. Parkinson still hasn't made much of a fantasy impact this year, as he has just 12 catches for 165 yards and one touchdown through nine games.

Will Dissly TE | LAC
Seahawks' Will Dissly: Rings up 24 yards
Dissly caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.
Dissly and Noah Fant both played 42 offensive snaps, but Fant capitalized on the opportunity with five catches for a team-high 96 yards. Head coach Pete Carroll continues to roll out offensive personnel that features two or three tight ends, so Dissly's playing time should be secure all season. However, his fantasy value continues to depend on whether he can find the end zone, as the fifth-year tight end has yet to record more than 45 receiving yards in a game this year.

Austin Hooper TE | ATL
Titans' Austin Hooper: Nabs two catches in loss
Hooper had two receptions (three targets) for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Hooper actually turned in his one of his better stat lines in a game where his starting quarterback completed just five passes. The 27-year-old still owns a paltry 12/150/0 receiving line through eight starts, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats heading into a matchup with Denver next Sunday.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Cracks century mark on SNF
Kelce hauled in 10 of 17 targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Titans.
Kelce churned out another TE1 performance for his fantasy managers, but there were some points left on the table. The normally sure-handed tight end had a couple of ugly drops -- one of which turned into an interception for Patrick Mahomes -- resulting in a poor 58.8 percent catch rate (well below his 78.2 percent catch rate this season) and some visible frustration early in the contest. All things told, the end results were still strong for the fantasy stud. Kelce and the Chiefs will take on the Jaguars next Sunday.

Hunter Henry TE | NE
Patriots' Hunter Henry: Records four catches
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.

Hayden Hurst TE | LAC
Bengals' Hayden Hurst: Five receptions in blowout win
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.
-
Foster Moreau TE | HOU
Raiders' Foster Moreau: Manages 42 yards
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.

Cade Otton TE | TB
Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Hauls in winning TD
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.

Zach Ertz TE | WAS
Cardinals' Zach Ertz: Scores for second straight game
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.
