Colston Loveland TE | CHI
Bears' Colston Loveland: Follows breakout with 55-yard game
Loveland caught all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.
Loveland finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Rome Odunze (86), though this was a substantial step back from Loveland after the rookie first-round pick broke out for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 9 win over the Bengals. Prior to Week 9, Loveland hadn't exceeded 38 receiving yards in a game, but he looks to have surpassed Cole Kmet as the go-to pass catcher among Chicago's tight ends heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Vikings.

Ja'Tavion Sanders TE | CAR
Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Five receptions against Saints
Sanders caught all five of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to New Orleans.
It was the second-highest reception total of the season for the second-year tight end, after a 7-54-0 line in Week 2. Sanders is still looking for his first touchdown of 2025, and Carolina's limited passing attack might not give him many opportunities to end that drought. Sanders will take a 20-148-0 line on 25 targets through seven games into a Week 11 clash with the Falcons.

Harold Fannin Jr. TE | CLE
Browns' Harold Fannin: Four catches in Week 10 loss
Fannin (hamstring) caught four of seven targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
Fannin hurt his hamstring Thursday but played through the injury and finished second on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards behind Jerry Jeudy. Fellow Browns tight end David Njoku scored his third touchdown of the season, while Fannin remains stuck on two touchdowns heading into a Week 11 home game against the Ravens. Fannin leads the team with 42 catches and 396 receiving yards, as the rookie third-round pick has been one of the few bright spots for the 2-7 Browns.

David Njoku TE | CLE
Browns' David Njoku: Finds paydirt in Week 10 loss
Njoku caught both of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.
Njoku's nine-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was his third touchdown in Njoku's last four games. He remains a touchdown-dependent fantasy option due to the emergence of rookie tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring), who had four catches for 44 yards Sunday. Up next for Njoku and the Browns is a Week 11 home game against the Ravens.

Juwan Johnson TE | NO
Saints' Juwan Johnson: Career-best day in win
Johnson caught all four of his targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Panthers.
The tight end put together a career-best day in terms of yardage, including a 30-yard touchdown from rookie quarterback Tyler Shough in the fourth quarter, the second straight game in which the duo has connected for a score. Johnson is having a breakout campaign in his sixth NFL season, putting together a 43-491-3 line on 61 targets through 10 games heading into the Saints' bye week.

AJ Barner TE | SEA
Seahawks' AJ Barner: Active Sunday
Barner (calf) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals.
Barner followed up back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 10 prep due to a calf injury with a full session Friday, but he still entered the weekend listed as questionable. Despite the designation, he'll be available to a Seahawks offense that'll be down two wide receivers in Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf). As a result, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak could lean more on the team's tight ends in the passing game Sunday.

Mitchell Evans TE | CAR
Panthers' Mitchell Evans: Returns to game
Evans (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Saints, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
The tight end injured his ankle earlier in the first half, walked off under his own power and briefly went to the locker room. The injury must not have been serious, as it didn't take long for Evans to return to the contest.
