Bryant caught two of two targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.

Cleveland's tight ends had a greater share of the targets in the first game following Odell Beckham's release, although the offensive game plan was, as usual, geared toward establishing the run. Bryant's production Sunday moves him to 11 receptions for 139 yards and zero touchdowns over nine games.

Njoku caught one of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-16 win over Cincinnati.

Njoku finished off the scoring with an 18-yard grab late in the fourth quarter, cementing a big road win for the Browns, who came off a three-week stretch of wobbly efforts by the offense while also attempting to put the Odell Beckham drama behind them. All three of Njoku's targets were inside the Bengals 20, and the touchdown was his first in four weeks.

Trautman caught four of seven targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.

Trautman didn't do much before the fourth quarter, but on one drive he had four catches within six plays to help the Saints get their first touchdown, after which Trautman was unsuccessfully targeted on a two-point conversion attempt. That brings Trautman up to 13 targets in under two games with Trevor Siemian after averaging 2.2 in just over six games with Jameis Winston (knee), who will miss the rest of the year with a torn ACL. While Winston technically had higher upside than Siemian as a passer, Trautman's outlook would obviously benefit much more from someone who will more frequently throw him the ball.

Engram recorded three receptions on three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Raiders.

Engram tied for second on the team with only three targets, an indication of how little the Giants took to the air Sunday. However, he was efficient with his targets, highlighted by a 30-yard touchdown reception to cap the team's first offensive possession. Engram has now found the end zone in each of his last two games and has benefited from New York's banged-up receiving corps. That could change moving forward, however, as the Giants head into a Week 10 bye that will presumably allow them to get healthier.

Kelce caught five passes for 68 yards and one touchdown on eight targets against Green Bay on Sunday.

Kelce wasn't exactly dominant, and the touchdown occurred near the goal line off play action, but it was still an encouraging box score for Kelce, especially given the broader struggles of the Kansas City passing game. Patrick Mahomes threw for only 166 yards and one touchdown, so with that in mind Kelce's numbers begin to look better. In addition, Mahomes seemed to miss Kelce on a couple plays that might have been easy completions if Mahomes hadn't thrown it elsewhere. The Chiefs passing game has struggled for over a month now, and Kelce's numbers have suffered for it, but for this game at least Kelce was just a couple beats away from posting numbers more like the pre-slump level of production his fantasy managers have come to expect. The Chiefs go to Las Vegas for a high-stakes game against the Raiders in Week 10.

Andrews secured five of 10 targets for 44 yards in the Ravens' 34-31 overtime win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Andrews tied Rashod Bateman for second on the team in receptions and was also the runner-up in targets. The star tight end has either five or 11 catches in six of his last seven contests, giving him a safe fantasy floor heading into a Week 10 road matchup against the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Gesicki brought in four of eight targets for 54 yards in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Gesicki checked in second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Jaylen Waddle on the afternoon for the Dolphins and recorded a couple of nifty one-handed grabs along the way. The Penn State product has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in three of his past four games, sending him into the Week 10 home Thursday night matchup against the Ravens with some solid momentum.

Waller recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants.

Waller returned from a one-game absence and reached double-digit targets for the first time since Week 1 as the Raiders tried to claw their way back from small deficits throughout the game. He also provided a number of big plays -- highlighted by receptions of 24, 20 and 19 yards -- to top 90 yards in a game for only the second time this season. Waller remains well off his pace of production from the 2020 campaign, though he is still a focal point of the Raiders offense.

Arnold caught four passes for 60 yards on seven targets against Buffalo on Sunday.

Arnold was arguably Jacksonville's most effective player on offense, leading the Jaguars in all receiving categories and offering some semblance of a pass-catching threat on a day where the passing attack garnered just 151 yards on 28 attempts. The season-ending injury to DJ Chark left Arnold as one of Jacksonville's only pass catchers with any height or reach, and so far it's resulted in consistent usage for the journeyman tight end most weeks.

Uzomah caught four of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 41-16 loss to Cleveland.

Uzomah has caught four passes in each of the last two games, but he has just 57 yards over that span. The 28-year-old tight end doesn't see enough volume to rise above the touchdown-dependent tier of options at the position. He has found the end zone five times heading into the Bengals' Week 10 bye, which is already two more than his previous career high.
