Warren caught seven of nine targets for 83 yards and added a one-yard touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Steelers.

The second-year tight end led the Colts in catches and receiving yards while tying Keenan Allen for the team lead in targets, and Warren produced Indy's only TD of the game with his goal-line plunge in the second quarter. Warren is seeing strong volume as one of the few pass catchers Daniel Jones can rely on, and through five games he's delivered a 30-213-2 line on 36 targets. Given Jones' lack of options, Warren could be busy again in Week 6 against the winless Titans.

Fannin caught one of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Jets.

Fannin was neutralized by New York's defense in rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium. The 2025 third-round pick's sophomore season is off to an inconsistent start, as Fannin has failed to exceed 27 yards on three occasions while recording at least 51 yards on two occasions. He had scored three times during a brief two-game touchdown streak that was snapped in Sunday's dud. Fannin will try to get back on track in Week 6 against the Ravens.

Likely caught 11 of 13 targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Commanders.

Likely's career-high 11 receptions included a three-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter and a 17-yard touchdown reception in the fourth, which helped the Giants erase a 19-6 second-half deficit. The shifty TE has drawn double-digit targets in three of his first five games with the Giants, producing 33 catches for 284 yards and four TDs. Likely needs 193 receiving yards to match his 2024 regular-season career high from the third of his four seasons in Baltimore. He and Malik Nabers should continue to work as the Giants' top two pass catchers in Week 6 against the Saints.

Kraft brought in all five targets for 64 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Packers' 31-7 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Kraft was an ideal complementary piece alongside top receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, who combined for 12 receptions for 266 yards and two touchdowns (Watson) on the afternoon. Kraft still managed to finish with his second-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season, and he should remain busy in what is likely to be a high-scoring Week 6 home showdown against the Cowboys next Sunday night.

Loveland brought in two of five targets for 19 yards in the Bears' 31-7 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

The second-year tight end's quiet season continued on a difficult day for the Bears offense overall. Loveland was coming off a season-best six-catch, 57-yard effort against the Jets in Week 4, so Sunday's downturn was notable and marked third sub-20-yard tally in the first five games of the season. Loveland may have an opportunity to reap the benefit of having Caleb Williams back under center in a Week 6 road matchup against the Falcons next Sunday.

Sadiq won't return to Sunday's game versus the Browns due to a concussion.

Prior to having a concussion check in Week 5, Sadiq had two catches (on three targets) for three yards and lost a fumble. Mason Taylor should serve as the Jets' primary tight end for the rest of Sunday's contest, though Jeremy Ruckert may be more involved in the passing game;.

Goedert caught six of nine targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Back in the lineup after a two-game absence due to a knee injury, Goedert led the Eagles in targets and receptions, although the volume didn't lead to much yardage. With the Philly backfield and wide receiver room depleted by injuries, the veteran tight end could well remain Jalen Hurts' favorite option in the short term. Goedert will take an 11-119-2 line on 16 targets through three contests into a Week 6 clash with the Panthers.

Sadiq is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns after exiting in the third quarter to be evaluated for a head injury.

The Jets will presumably put Sadiq through concussion tests before determining whether he's fit to return to the game. Prior to exiting the contest, Sadiq recorded two catches for three yards on three targets and also lost a fumble.

Strange caught seven of eight targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.

After breaking out for a 7-95-0 line last week, Strange tied that season high in catches, although for less yardage. The tight end is re-establishing himself as Trevor Lawrence's preferred safety valve, which should assure him a solid floor for volume. Strange will take a 21-235-1 line on 26 targets through five games into a Week 6 clash with the Texans.

Kolar (forearm) is active for Sunday's game against Denver, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

Kolar missed the last two games but will return despite practicing in a limited capacity during the week. With Kolar active in Week 5, Oronde Gadsden is expected to slide back to the No. 2 spot on the tight-end depth chart.
