Knox caught all three of his targets for 37 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Sunday's 24-20 win over Kansas City.

The tight end returned from a one-game absence to see his usual small target volume, but Knox made his looks count by hauling in the game-winning score on a 14-yard strike from Josh Allen with only 64 seconds left in the game. The tight end has caught at least three passes in each of his last four games, but he'll remain a TD-dependent fantasy option coming out of Buffalo's Week 7 bye.

Brown caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England in Week 6.

This was Brown's second game with his new team, and he was given more playing time. He and Harrison Bryant are battling for snaps and targets behind starter David Njoku.

Bryant caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England in Week 6.

For the third time this season, Bryant recorded 18 receiving yards in a game, and he has no more than 45. His 19 targets are fourth on team, but he could be threatened by Pharaoh Brown, who was signed two weeks ago. Brown played two snaps in his debut last week and moved up to 19 in his second week, while Bryant dropped to a season-low 25 snaps Sunday. Both are playing second fiddle to David Njoku, who is experiencing a breakout season.

Njoku caught three of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 38-15 loss to the Patriots in Week 6.

Njoku didn't post the heady numbers he had in previous weeks, but the tight end passed the 50-yard threshold for a fourth consecutive game. He entered the contest fifth among the position group with 289 yards. Njoku is living up to four-year deal he signed during the offseason.

Uzomah caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.

Uzomah had the same number of targets and scrimmage yards as Tyler Conklin. Breece Hall has become the focal point of a Jets offense that also has a deep wide receiver corps, leaving limited touches left over for the team's pair of offseason acquisitions at tight end.

Conklin caught one of two targets for 16 yards and added a one-yard rush in Sunday's 27-10 win over Green Bay.

Conklin had one less yard and the same number of targets as C.J. Uzomah. Each of the top two tight ends saw minimal involvement as pass catchers as New York rode its running game and defense to a win at Lambeau Field. Conklin's rushing yard came as the Jets joined the recent trend of sneaking with their tight end from under center to keep its quarterback from taking a hit.

Henry brought in four of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday.

The veteran tight end followed up what had been a season-best 4-54 tally in Week 5 against the Lions with a new high-water mark in receiving yardage and his first touchdown catch of the campaign to boot. Henry got loose on a nifty 31-yard play for his score with just under six minutes to go in the third quarter, and considering he logged a career-high nine touchdowns last season, there could be more end-zone trips coming whether he works with Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones (ankle) in the Week 7 Monday night matchup versus the Bears.

Thomas caught both his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

While it was a very modest yardage total, it was good for the best performance of the day by any Panther not named Christian McCaffrey. Thomas has yet to haul in more than two catches or see more than three targets in a game this season, and the team's revolving door at quarterback -- Jacob Eason took over for P.J. Walker (neck) in the second half Sunday -- won't improve the tight end's chances of taking a step forward heading into a Week 7 tilt against the Buccaneers.

Hill (ribs) rushed five times for 39 yards and completed two of four pass attempts for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.

Hill was limited by a rib injury at practice this week, but he was able to suit up and provide his unorthodox blend of statistics. The 32-year-old fell back to earth after a monster four-touchdown performance in Week 5, as he was keyed in on defensively whenever he set foot on the field. The Saints appear set on having a traditional pocket quarterback under center (either Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston) while keeping Hill limited to specific packages and limited touches heading into a matchup against Arizona on Thursday.

Schultz (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest in Philadelphia.

Schultz aggravated a sprained PCL in his right knee last Sunday at the Rams, but after turning in two limited practices and one full one this week, he entered the weekend without a designation. The reason for his absence Week 6 isn't known but likely stems from the aforementioned injury. With Schultz on the pine, the Cowboys will turn to Jake Ferguson, Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon at tight end.
