Bryant caught both his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Ravens.

By the fourth quarter, the Browns were down two tight ends and Bryant was the lone healthy body left at the position. The team's bye week is not until Week 9, so the tight end room will be sparse to start preparations for Week 8 against the Bengals after both David Njoku (ankle) and Pharaoh Brown (neck) left the loss to Baltimore. Njoku tweeted he'll "be back soon," while Adam Schefter of ESPN reports his injury "isn't serious." Brown is being evaluated for a concussion, per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. Pending the status of the injured players, Bryant could take on a larger role next week at home.

Gesicki caught three of seven targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.

Gesicki failed to capitalize off of last week's two-score performance, crashing back down to earth with a forgettable fantasy line. The seven targets with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) back under center was noteworthy, as the duo failed to produce more than four targets in any game both have been active in this season. Gesicki remains a fringe fantasy tight end heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

Myarick hauled in both of his targets for 21 yards in a Week 7 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Rookie Daniel Bellinger exited the game late in the second quarter after being carted off the field with an eye injury, leaving Myarick to handle the bulk of the work at tight end. The third-year pro made a key catch near the end of the half to help set up a Graham Gano field goal, and he finished the game with a career-high 21 yards through the air while recording multiple receptions for the first time this season. If Bellinger is forced to miss additional time, Myarick would presumably fill in as a starter in his stead.

Hooper recorded three receptions on three targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts.

Hooper turned in his best game as a Titan, as he managed lengthy receptions of 23,19 and 14 yards to lead the team in receiving. Prior to Sunday's matchup, Hooper had failed to surpass 19 receiving yards in any matchup, so it's unclear whether he will continue to see an increased role in the offense. Like every Titans' pass catcher, Hooper should primarily be targeted in games where the team is chasing points.

Dulcich recorded six receptions on nine targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Jets.

Dulcich was active for his second career game and remained entrenched as Denver's top tight end. He finished tied with Courtland Sutton for second on the team with nine targets and was second only to Jerry Jeudy in receiving yards. Dulcich worked almost exclusively in short areas of the field, though he did manage a 16-yard reception late in the fourth quarter. He could lose some targets when Russell Wilson (hamstring) is able to return, but Dulcich appears to have quickly integrated himself into the Denver offense.

Freiermuth secured eight of nine targets for 75 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 loss to Miami on Sunday.

Freiermuth missed last week's win over the Buccaneers due to a concussion, but he returned to action in Week 7 and led the Steelers in receiving yards during their narrow loss. The 23-year-old's efficiency has been somewhat inconsistent early in the year, but he's been targeted at least seven times in four of his first six appearances of the season.

Everett caught five of nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks.

The tight end tied Mike Williams for second on the Chargers in targets, but Everett's production was fairly modest relative to that volume. It's still the fourth time in the last six games he's hauled in at least five passes, and he should remain a key secondary piece in the offense coming out of a Week 8 bye -- especially if the ankle injury Williams suffered in the fourth quarter Sunday proves to be serious.

Kittle caught six of nine targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Chiefs.

Kittle went blow-for-blow with Travis Kelce on National Tight End Day in the NFL, finishing with a near identical stat line to his Kansas City counterpart. The former finished with the finer fantasy results, adding a touchdown (his first of the year) with an impressive grab for a score early in the fourth quarter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan appears to finally be scheming Kittle as a receiver with more frequency, resulting in strong results over the last two weeks (14-181-1) after a horrid start to the year. Kittle will look to keep things rolling against the Rams next Sunday.

Dissly caught all four of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 37-23 win over the Chargers.

The tight end didn't post huge numbers, but he tied for second on Seattle in both receptions and receiving yards. Dissly also tied his season highs in catches and targets while setting a new season high in yards, topping his 43 yards from the Seahawks' opener. However, that modest production makes him little more than a TD-dependent fantasy option heading into a Week 8 clash with the Giants.

Conklin caught four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over Denver.

Conklin led the Jets in targets in a game that saw Corey Davis and Breece Hall exit due to knee injuries while Elijah Moore (personal) sat out. Despite slowing down in recent weeks, Conklin has still racked up an impressive 38 targets through seven games.
