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.

Otton brought in six of seven targets for 43 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

The rookie drew expanded opportunity with Cameron Brate (concussion) sidelined, and he was able to build on his 3-29 line in Week 4 with another set of career highs. Otton's performance over the last two games offers an encouraging glimpse at his upside, and it could earn him much more of a steady, larger role going forward.

Asiasi (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Asiasi was questionable for Sunday's matchup after sustaining an ankle injury during last Thursday's win over the Dolphins. However, he'll be able to play through the issue in Week 5. He hasn't had a very prominent role in the Bengals' offense early in the season.

Uzomah caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.

Neither Uzomah nor Tyler Conklin (one target, no catches) made much of an impact in this one. With plenty of talented options to throw to at both wide receiver and running back, Zach Wilson has relied on the tight end position much less frequently than Joe Flacco did while Wilson was injured over the season's first three weeks.

Hurst (groin) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.

After logging back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Hurst sat out Friday's practice, but he'll give it a go Sunday. Barring any setbacks, he's in line to continue to operate as the Bengals' top tight end, a role that through four games has yielded a 14-101-1 line on 21 targets for the 2018 first-rounder. With the wideout trio of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins (ankle) and Tyler Boyd also commanding their share of targets on a weekly basis, Hurst's volume in contests to come could be hit or miss, thus capping his fantasy upside.

Njoku brought in all six targets for 88 yards in the Browns' 30-28 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Njoku's yardage total led the Browns, and he checked in second in receptions to Amari Cooper. The athletic tight end is demonstrating excellent chemistry with Jacoby Brissett, now recording at least five receptions and 73 yards in each of the last three games. Njoku is averaging seven targets a game over the last four contests as well, sending him into a Week 6 home matchup against the Patriots with plenty of momentum.

Schultz exited Sunday's game at the Rams due to a right knee injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Schultz sprained his right PCL in Week 2 and missed one game as a result. While he was able to return Week 4 and practice in full during Week 5 prep, he limped off the field Sunday and visited with team trainers before the Cowboys labeled him questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, Schultz will finish the contest with no catches on one target.

Hockenson caught one of four targets for six yards during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England.

With DJ Chark (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (shoulder) still sidelined and Amon-Ra St. Brown playing through an ankle sprain, the Patriots seemingly made sure to eliminate Hockenson from the Lions' game plan after the tight end put up prolific numbers against the Seahawks in Week 4. Hockenson was also a guilty party on at least one allowed sack from Patriots pass rusher Matthew Judon. With a Week 6 bye on deck, a Lions offense that entered the Week 5 leading the league in yards per game (436.8) will look to get back on track in Week 7 against the Cowboys.
