Andrews had eight receptions 89 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.

Andrews was seemingly quarterback Lamar Jackson's first and second reads in the passing game, as only one other Baltimore receiver (Devin Duvernay) saw more than two targets in the narrow win. The star tight end was coming off of an uncharacteristic two-catch dud last week, so a return to prominence was a welcome sight for his fantasy managers. Andrews should sit in his usual spot near the top of the weekly tight end projections heading into a matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Trautman recorded two receptions on three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks.

Trautman saw three targets for the second consecutive game after he combined to earn only one target across the first three matchups of the season. He delivered his first touchdown of the campaign when he slipped down the seam of the Seattle defense for a 22-yard catch late in the third quarter. Trautman's production has remained modest, but he appears to be the top pass-catching tight end in New Orleans.

Higbee caught seven of 10 targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Cowboys.

The tight end tied Cooper Kupp for the team lead in both catches and targets, but Higbee's longest gain went for only 10 yards. He's been Matthew Stafford's second-most reliable option so far this year, seeing double-digit targets three times in five games, and while he has yet to get into the end zone, Higbee is on pace for a career-best campaign heading into a Week 6 meeting with the Panthers.

Hill rushed the ball nine times for 112 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks. He also completed his lone pass attempt for 22 yards and an additional score.

Hill took advantage of Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (groin) being inactive to emerge as one of New Orleans' key playmakers. He accounted for four of the team's five touchdowns, with rushing scores coming from eight, nine and 60 yards away. Hill also delivered on his lone pass attempt when he hit Adam Trautman down the seam for a 22-yard score late in the third quarter. Prior to Sunday's game, Hill had 13 total offensive touches across three games, but his Week 5 performance might force the coaching staff to get him more involved on a regular basis.

Kittle caught five of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers. He also lost a fumble.

The numbers aren't impressive on the surface, but Kittle led the 49ers in receptions on the afternoon, and he posted his best performance of the year after he missed the first two games with a groin injury. He'll look to keep increasing his production in Week 6 against a Falcons defense that has struggled to contain tight ends so far in 2022.

Ertz caught six passes for 48 yards on 10 targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Ertz no doubt hoped to do more damage against his former team, but the Eagles knew to pay close attention and kept Ertz contained. Ertz should have at least one more week of substantial target volume while DeAndre Hopkins remains suspended, and with the hapless Seahawks defense up next it could be a good bounce-back setting for Ertz.

Goedert caught eight passes for 95 yards on nine targets against Arizona on Sunday.

Goedert has been highly effective for the Eagles thus far in 2022, turning 29 targets into 24 receptions for 335 yards and a touchdown. The one issue is that his target volume is rather modest as he competes for targets against two star wide receivers, and Goedert might be hard-pressed to maintain his excellent efficiency. Regardless of the week-to-week fluctuation, Goedert should provide standout tight end production in one of the league's most productive offenses. He faces Dallas in Week 6.

Engram had six receptions (10 targets) for 69 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans.

Engram turned in his best fantasy line of the season after posting a pair of duds in Weeks 3 and 4 (two combined catches for 25 yards). The athletic tight end lived up to that label, showing burst on a couple of impressive catch and runs. The 27-year-old has 19 receptions for 168 yards and no touchdowns through five games as the Jaguars' starting tight end. Perhaps this strong game could get Engram going heading into a matchup against the Colts next Sunday.

Conklin didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.

Conklin has just six targets in two games since Zach Wilson returned from a knee injury after racking up 24 over three games with Joe Flacco under center. After his early run of usefulness, Conklin's fantasy stock is falling ahead of a Week 6 trip to Green Bay.

Henry brought in four of five targets for 54 yards in the Patriots' 29-0 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Henry produced season-high numbers across the board while working with rookie Bailey Zappe, who leaned on him a good amount as a security blanket. Henry has a pair of one-target games this season, but with nine looks over the last two games, his fortunes may be turning in that regard. However, Jonnu Smith's absence Sunday due to an ankle injury helped boost Henry's workload.
