Higbee caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-10 victory against the Panthers.

Higbee came into the contest with an ankle issue, and that may have contributed to his season lows in targets, receptions and yardage. The Rams go on bye next week, giving Higbee extra time to fully recover from the injury before he gets another chance to torch the 49ers in Week 8, after he put up a solid 10-73-0 line on a whopping 14 targets against them in Week 4.

Hendershot caught two of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

With Dalton Schultz (knee) sidelined again, Hendershot saw a career high in targets but wasn't able to do much with them. The tight end remains behind fellow rookie Jake Ferguson in the pecking order, giving Hendershot little fantasy relevance even if Schultz isn't able to return to action Week 7 against the Lions.

Ferguson caught four of six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

The rookie tight end recorded his first NFL score early in the fourth quarter, catching a short pass from Cooper Rush and making a slick move around a Philadelphia defender to get into the end zone. The catches, targets and yards also were career highs for Ferguson, but his run of deep-league fantasy relevance likely will come to an end once Dalton Schultz (knee) is 100 percent.

Pruitt caught his only target for two yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 28-14 victory over the 49ers.

Pruitt was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a second consecutive week and played 16 offensive snaps, four more than his first appearance. He quickly made an impression on Sunday's game, catching a two-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota for his first scoring grab of the campaign. Pruitt is eligible for only one more elevation before he'll have to be signed to the active roster.

Goedert caught two of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Cowboys.

Goedert was asked to stay back and block a little more than he is used to following the early departure of star right tackle Lane Johnson (concussion), which is part of the reason he finished with such a forgettable stat line. The 27-year-old was providing consistent production with at least six standard fantasy points in every game prior to Sunday's dud. Goedert's fantasy managers will have to wait until after the Eagles' upcoming bye week to see if he can bounce back against the Steelers on Oct. 30.

Fant recorded six receptions on seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 19-9 victory over the Cardinals.

Fant saw an uptick of involvement in the offense, tallying a season-high seven targets. He wasn't particularly efficient with the opportunity, but he did manage to lead the team in receptions and yards. Though Fant's usage has been inconsistent to begin his time in Seattle, he now has over 40 yards in each of his last two games.

Bellinger tallied five catches on five targets for 38 yards while scoring a touchdown in a 24-20 victory versus the Ravens in Week 6.

Bellinger's longest reception of the day went for a modest 10 yards, but he still led the Giants with 38 receiving yards in the win. His five catches were a season high, and he narrowly fell short of his top mark of 40 receiving yards set in Week 3 against Dallas. His biggest contribution was an eight-yard touchdown reception with just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Bellinger hasn't seen enough volume to be more than a fringe fantasy option, but he's scored twice this season and seems to be gaining the trust of Daniel Jones, so he's not entirely off the radar.

Ertz recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Seahawks.

Ertz tied for the team lead in targets with Rondale Moore, though that was skewed by the early exit of Marquise Brown (ankle). Regardless of the reason, Ertz has now seen double-digit targets in consecutive games -- and for the fourth time in six games. He made more of his opportunity against the Seahawks, with much of his production coming on a 32-yard reception late in the third quarter. Though this was an encouraging performance, target distribution in Arizona could change significantly as DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) is due back in Week 7 against the Saints.

Kelce caught eight of 10 targets for 108 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bills.

While he wasn't able to follow up last week's record-setting four-TD performance by getting back into the end zone, Kelce still reached triple digits in receiving yards for the second time this season. The Kansas City superstar will look to stay productive in Week 7 against a banged-up 49ers defense that just gave up two TDs to Atlanta tight ends.

Kittle had eight catches on 10 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Falcons.

Kittle finally posted a fantasy line better resembling his price tag on draft day, setting new season highs in receptions, targets and yards. Head coach Kyle Shanahan figured out how to get his star tight end involved in the offensive gameplan after averaging just five targets in the three games he was healthy for this season. Kittle still hasn't scored a touchdown, so fantasy managers are hoping that the 28-year-old remains a focal point of the offensive gameplan heading into a matchup against Kansas City next Sunday.
