Wesco didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 54-13 loss to New England.

Wesco has yet to catch a pass this season. The 26-year-old fullback is still in search of his first career touchdown, and the search doesn't appear close to concluding.

Engram recorded six receptions on eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.

Engram led the team with six receptions, as he benefited from the absence of Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle). He worked primarily in the short areas of the field but did manage an 18-yard gain late in the first quarter to push the Giants deep into Carolina territory. Engram now has at least three receptions in each of his last four games, though his ability to rack up targets will be hurt as the team's receiving corps gets healthier.

Higbee caught five receptions for 46 yards on eight targets against Detroit on Sunday.

Normally Higbee is highly efficient on modest target counts, but against the Lions he saw his efficiency fall off as his target count spiked upward. Other than WR1 Cooper Kupp, the Rams feature an ensemble cast of secondary targets, and Higbee is clearly part of that group. The problem is it's a big group, and Higbee probably ranks behind both Robert Woods and Van Jefferson. The fourth-leading pass catcher in the Rams offense has some amount of fantasy value, but the floor and ceiling both suffer that far down in the target order.

Henry caught two of three targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets.

Henry scored from one yard out in the final minute of the first half, bobbling the ball in the back of the end zone but ultimately securing possession. He has found the end zone in each of his last four games, and Henry could see a bump in volume if fellow tight end Jonnu Smith -- who exited early with a shoulder injury -- is unable to suit up Week 8 against the Chargers.

Horsted failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Aside from a two-yard touchdown reception two weeks ago, Horsted doesn't have another catch on the year, and unless he moves up the Chicago depth chart, it's unlikely he'll have much fantasy value.

James caught three passes for 20 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

James took over the second tight-end role with Jimmy Graham (COVID-19) sitting this one out, but he had most of his production when the game was well out of hand. Stuck in an anemic Chicago passing attack while not being the lead tight end, James has limited fantasy upside.

Hockenson (knee) caught six passes for 48 yards on nine targets against the Rams on Sunday.

The Rams were well aware that the Lions would try to feed Hockenson in this one and prepared accordingly, including setting elite corner Jalen Ramsey against Hockenson at times. Although Hockenson's efficiency was lacking Sunday and the struggles of quarterback Jared Goff might make that an ongoing risk, the nine-target usage for Hockenson is rather encouraging. It wasn't an easy matchup for Hockenson, yet the ball headed his way often. He'll face the Eagles in Week 8.

Kmet caught five passes for 43 yards in the Bears' 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Kmet wasn't a factor until he collected a few catches once the game was out of hand in the second half, and he led the team in all receiving categories, including six targets. He's posted at least 40 yards in back-to-back games and a total of three times on the season, and he's beginning to emerge as a streaming option at tight end.

Seals-Jones caught six passes on seven targets for 51 yards against Green Bay on Sunday.

Seals-Jones wasn't explosive with his seven targets, averaging just 8.5 yards per reception, but he was an efficient security blanket target in a game during which Taylor Heinicke struggled to get the ball to anyone other than Seals-Jones and Terry McLaurin. Seals-Jones has shown the ability to provide useful fantasy production if he gets enough snaps, particularly with the injuries Washington has dealt with at receiver, but it's possible that Logan Thomas (hamstring) could return soon. Seals-Jones is unlikely to play regularly upon Thomas' return.

Andrews caught three of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bengals.

Andrews cooled off after finding the end zone three times over the previous two games. He posted his lowest yardage total since Week 1, and Andrews' three catches tied his season low from the opener. The standout tight end should bounce back after Baltimore's Week 8 bye.
