Kelce secured four of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for one yard in the Chiefs' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

The All-Pro tight end secured his second touchdown of the season late in the first quarter with a three-yard grab, but he had a relatively quiet day overall by his standards as Patrick Mahomes targeted eight different players overall. Kelce has no fewer than seven targets in any of his first three games and has collected 17 receptions overall in that span, sending him into a Week 4 road showdown against the Buccaneers with solid momentum.

Kmet caught two of three targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Texans.

Kmet nearly doubled the receiving yardage total of Darnell Mooney, who finished second on the team with 23 yards. That stat is much more of an indictment on Chicago's passing game than a compliment to Kmet, who came into the game without a catch on the season. Kmet will look to build on this performance in Week 4 against the Giants.

Goedert caught three passes for 26 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Washington on Sunday.

Goedert briefly left the game with a shin issue but returned shortly afterward. Goedert made efficient use of his workload Sunday, but as a pass catcher, he might be a tad overqualified for the target count the Philadelphia offense can offer him. At the very least, it will be difficult for Goedert to draw heavy usage when DeVonta Smith (eight catches for 169 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets) and A.J. Brown (five catches for 85 yards and one touchdown 10 targets) produce like they did against Washington. If one of those two should see lighter volume in a given game, then that would likely open up more opportunity for Goedert. Through three games, the athletic tight end has 11 receptions for 168 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets.

Otton (personal) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

As expected, the rookie tight end will not be available after missing practice all week. In his absence, fellow rookie Ko Kieft and veteran Kyle Rudolph, the latter garnering active status for the first time this season, will serve as complementary options behind top tight end Cameron Brate.

Knox has returned to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Knox briefly left in the second half due to heat-related issues, but he's since returned. The tight end has caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and will look to continue his strong play in the fourth quarter.

Lewis (groin) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Lewis logged limited practices Wednesday and Friday with a DNP on Thursday. The veteran tight end has yet to be targeted this season despite playing 38 and 47 percent of the offensive snaps in the first two weeks respectively.

Goedert (shin) has returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Goedert caught three passes for 26 yards and a touchdown before leaving the contest briefly. He'll look to continue his strong play in the second half of Sunday's matchup.

Knox is questionable to return Sunday against the Dolphins due to heat-related issues.

Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, it felt like 100 degrees right before kickoff and the heat has had a significant impact on the players. Isaiah McKenzie is also questionable to return due to the same issue.

Goedert (shin) is questionable to return Sunday against the Commanders, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Goedert caught three passes for 26 yards and a touchdown before suffering the injury. If he's unable to return, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra would be candidates for increased roles.

Parham (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Jaguars.

Parham practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, but the third-year-pro will have to wait another week to potentially make his season debut. In his absence, Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers will continue to see an increase in snaps. Parham will work to return in Week 4 against the Texans.
