Pitts caught five of eight targets for 87 yards during Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Seahawks.

After a quiet start to the season, Pitts was targeted early and often during Sunday's win, finishing with team highs in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Four of Pitts' five catches went for at least 10 yards, including a 28-yard gain in the first quarter. Marcus Mariota also probably missed the tight end on a few deep balls, hindering his potential production, but Pitts still submitted a solid performance. However, his lack of involvement in the red zone continues to be a concerning trend from his rookie year, and he's failed to score through three games. Pitts was never going to be held in check for the entire season, but if he can't find the end zone more in 2022, the second-year phenom will have a difficult time reaching his full potential.

Woods brought in two of three targets for 13 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

The rookie was the surprise target on both of Matt Ryan's touchdown tosses, recording one- and 12-yard grabs in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. Woods had yet to see a target prior to Sunday, so despite the surprising fantasy performance Sunday, it's difficult to project what his role might be in a Week 4 home divisional clash against the Titans.

Uzomah (hamstring) caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 27-12 loss to the Bengals.

Uzomah returned from a one-game absence but was the clear No. 2 option at tight end behind Tyler Conklin, who caught all eight of his targets for a team-high 84 yards. As long Conklin's healthy, Uzomah's role figures to remain minimal.

Knox (foot) secured all four targets for 25 yards in the Bills' 21-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Knox worked through a foot issue this past week and then overcame heat-related cramping to put together a decent showing from a PPR standpoint. The third-year tight end now has back-to-back four-catch tallies, an encouraging development going into a Week 4 road showdown against the Ravens.

Waller recorded three receptions on five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Titans.

Waller finished tied for fourth in targets, and backup tight end Foster Moreau matched him. It was expected that passing volume would condense around Waller and Davante Adams with Hunter Renfrow (concussion) out. Instead, Mack Hollins led the team in targets, receptions and yards. It was a poor performance for Waller, but he still has 13 receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown through three games this season.

Andrews brought in eight of 11 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens' 37-26 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Andrews led the Ravens in receptions, receiving yards and targets across the board, hauling in five- and 16-yard touchdown passes along the way. The star tight end has 17 receptions and a trio of scores in the last two games alone, and he should once again play an integral role in a Week 4 home showdown against the Bills.

Conklin caught all eight of his targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 27-12 loss to Cincinnati.

C.J. Uzomah returned from a hamstring injury, but Conklin remained the clear top pass-catcher among New York's tight ends, as Uzomah was targeted only once. Conklin led all Jets in catches and receiving yards, and he has been targeted 24 times through three weeks by veteran Joe Flacco. He'll hope to get similar volume from Zach Wilson (knee) when the starting quarterback returns, which could be as soon as Week 4 against the Steelers.

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.
