Higbee brought in all five targets for 36 yards in the Rams' 38-11 win over the Giants on Sunday.

The veteran tight end checked in a distant second in receptions and receiving yards to Cooper Kupp, but he averaged just 7.2 yards per grab. Higbee has displayed a low fantasy ceiling throughout the season, recording no more than five receptions or 68 receiving yards in any contest. His pair of touchdowns has helped prop up his value some, but fantasy managers will hope he can break out in a favorable Week 7 home matchup against the Lions.

Kelce recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 99 yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over Washington.

Kelce suffered an apparent injury to his left arm in the second half and was examined on the sideline, as reported by James Palmer of NFL Network. However, he returned to the game and appeared to put the issue behind him to to record a season-high eight receptions. He also topped 75 receiving yards for the first time since Week 3, in large part due to receptions of 20, 19 and 17 yards. For the season, Kelce has only one game with fewer than five catches and 50 yards.

Daniels exited Sunday's game against the Browns with a hamstring injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Daniels failed to catch his lone target before the injury was announced during the third quarter. Demetrius Harris and Ross Travis are Arizona's remaining healthy options at tight end since Zach Ertz isn't eligible to suit up because he already played Thursday before being acquired from Philadelphia.

Alie-Cox scored a 28-yard touchdown on three targets in Sunday's 31-3 win over Houston.

Alie-Cox made his only catch count against a Texans defense that has struggled to defend tight ends. Despite limited volume, Alie-Cox has established himself as a red-zone weapon for the Colts, with three touchdowns in his last three games. He'll look to build on his recent momentum in Week 7 against the 49ers.

Andrews caught five of his six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Chargers.

Andrews scored from nine yards out in the third quarter for his third touchdown in the past two games. The standout tight end also led the team in catches and receiving yards while sharing the team targets lead with debuting rookie Rashod Bateman. Andrews is up to 34 catches for 468 yards and three touchdowns this season heading into a Week 7 visit from the Bengals.

Hockenson caught eight of 11 targets for 74 yards during Sunday's 34-11 loss to the Bengals.

Hockenson was the only reasonably productive member of the Lions offense before the game turned into a total blowout. After a number of duds the past few weeks, this output has to be a welcome sight for fantasy managers, especially in PPR formats. While Hockenson's efficiency could be volatile from week to week as long as he's attached to Jared Goff, we can at least expect the Lions' incompetent defense to continue to force the offense into passing situations, which should allow Hockenson to continue adding to his team-leading 44 targets through six weeks.

Fortson suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's win over Washington and will miss the rest of the season, according to James Palmer of NFL Network.

Fortson's worst case scenario has been confirmed, and the tight end will miss the rest of the regular season as a result. Fortson made one catch for 27 yards Sunday against Washington, and he ends the season with five grabs for 47 yards and two scores across six games.

Mundt (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Giants, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Mundt picked up a knee injury, and it seems the issue is serious enough to rule him out for the remainder of this contest. Expect Tyler Higbee to see most of the offensive snaps at tight end, while Jacob Harris could take Mundt's place as a blocker.

Fortson (Achilles) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Washington.

While no diagnosis has been confirmed, Fortson was down for a while before getting carted off with what appeared to be a serious injury. The coming days should shed more light on the severity of the injury, but it wouldn't be surprising if he has to miss an extended period of time.

Ertz is inactive for Sunday's game in Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Ertz wasn't eligible to be active anyway following his trade from Philadelphia to Arizona on Friday due to playing Thursday against the Buccaneers. He'll look forward to making his Cardinals debut next Sunday versus the Texans, though it remains to be seen how much he'll be utilized in his initial outings with the team. In the meantime, the Cards' Week 6 tight ends will be Darrell Daniels, Demetrius Harris and Ross Travis.
