Freiermuth secured his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Packers.

Freiermuth was targeted nine times across the last two games and caught his first NFL touchdown in Week 3, but he was less involved against the Packers on Sunday. He logged a career-low 11 yards in the loss but was still slightly more productive than fellow tight end Eric Ebron, who secured both of his targets for eight yards. The rookie will attempt to get back on track in a tough matchup at home against the Broncos in Week 5.

Knox recorded five receptions on eight targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Texans.

Knox finished second on the team with eight targets and continued to serve a key role in the red zone. The performance marked the first multi-touchdown performance of his career, and he's now found the end zone in three consecutive contests. Knox tallied the first score of the game on a 25-yard reception late in the opening quarter and later hit pay dirt again on a one-yard catch with 14 minutes remaining in the game. Though Knox's scoring pace isn't likely to continue, he has logged at least four receptions in three of four contests this season.

Schultz recorded six receptions on eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Panthers.

Schultz nearly replicated his Week 3 performance, when he led the Cowboys in all receiving categories. In Week 4, he led the team in targets and receptions but was out-gained by Amari Cooper. He had a few highlight plays, which included an 18-yard reception -- his longest of the day -- and and a six-yard touchdown. With the performance, Schultz now has at least seven targets in three of four games on the season.

Wesco didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.

The fullback was targeted for the first time this season here but has yet to touch the ball through four weeks. Wesco's fantasy value is nonexistent.

Kroft (rib) failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.

Kroft gutted it out through a rib injury but wasn't a major part of the game plan, while fellow tight end Ryan Griffin mustered eight yards on four targets. Quarterback Zach Wilson had the best game of his young career but found success by pushing the ball downfield to wide receivers rather than checking it down to his tight ends.

Fant caught six of 10 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

The tight end led Denver in targets and receptions on the afternoon -- in fact, no other Bronco caught more than three passes -- but Fant's longest grab went for only 14 yards. He did account for the team's only points on a three-yard toss from Teddy Bridgewater in the second quarter, but with Bridgewater now dealing with a concussion, the Broncos' passing game will be a big question mark heading into a Week 5 clash with the Steelers.

Andrews caught five of eight targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Broncos.

For the third straight game, Andrews hauled in exactly five passes, although he wasn't able to match last week's 109-yard performance. The tight end led the Ravens in targets Sunday while tying James Proche for the lead in receptions, and while Andrews in on an early pace for his first career 1,000-yard campaign, he has yet to find his way into the end zone. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 5 against the Colts.

Engram caught five of six targets for 27 yards and rushed once for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over New Orleans.

Engram tied with Saquon Barkley for third on the team in targets but struggled to get open downfield, with the tight end's longest gain going for just eight yards. Given his persistent struggles with drops and lack of explosiveness since returning from a calf injury, Engram will be tough to trust against the Cowboys in Week 5.

Goedert caught all five of his targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

Goedert scored a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter to give the Eagles a 10-7 lead, then had what would have been his second touchdown of the first half wiped out by an illegal formation penalty. The 26-year-old tight end has developed a nice rapport with 23-year-old quarterback Jalen Hurts, forming a dangerous duo that appears primed to trouble defenses in the red zone for years to come. Goedert has two touchdowns through four games and will look to build on that total against the Panthers in Week 5.

Kittle (calf) caught four of 11 targets for 40 yards against Seattle on Sunday.

Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) left after the first half, forcing the 49ers to turn to rookie third overall pick Trey Lance in the second half. It doesn't necessarily mean anything going forward, but Kittle couldn't get anything going with Lance. All four of Kittle's receptions occurred with Garoppolo in the first half, though the 49ers offense in general was probably more explosive under Lance, who threw two touchdown passes (both to Deebo Samuel). It's not clear what will happen with Garoppolo after his calf injury, but if Lance enters the starting lineup it will be worth monitoring how the chemistry develops between Kittle and the rookie. The 49ers have a crucial road matchup with the Cardinals in Week 5.
