Henry was on the field for 52 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints en route to catching five of his season-high six targets for 36 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, fellow tight end Jonnu Smith had a forgettable day, hauling in just one of his six targets (also a season high) for four yards while logging 30 snaps. Through New England's first three games, both players have recorded 10 catches and zero TDs while operating in a timeshare that caps their respective weekly fantasy ceilings.

Smith logged 30 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Saints, en route to catching one of his six targets for four yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, fellow tight end Hunter Henry was on the field for 52 snaps, hauling in five of his six targets for 36 yards. The six targets were actually a season-high for Smith, who saw five looks in both of the first two games, but it was a rough day for the 26-year-old, whose bobbled pass in the third quarter resulted in a pick-six. Smith will look to rebound Week 4 versus the Buccaneers, but with a timeshare in play, his weekly production could be sporadic.

Swaim recorded three receptions on four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Colts.

Anthony Firkser (knee) was sidelined for the second consecutive game, which allowed Swaim to lead the Titans' tight-end corps in snaps, targets and receptions. The majority of Swaim's production came on a 26-yard reception late in the second quarter, though the drive ended with a Ryan Tannehill interception. Firkser did not practice at all leading up to the Week 3 contest, which means he may be forced to miss further action and allow Swaim to maintain his increased role in Week 4 against the Jets.

Tremble is in line for increased work after TE Dan Arnold was traded from the Panthers to the Jaguars on Monday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Tremble wasn't targeted in either of the first two games of the season but hauled in his lone target for 30 yards while recording one carry for seven yards and a touchdown in Thursday's win over Dallas. Although the 2021 third-rounder will likely have to split work with Ian Thomas, Arnold's departure should lead to more playing time for the rookie.

Arnold was traded from the Panthers along with a third-round pick to the Jaguars on Monday in exchange for CB CJ Henderson and a fifth-round pick.

Arnold had a modest role in the Panthers' offense early in the year after signing a two-year deal with the team during the offseason. He brought in seven of 11 targets for 84 yards across the first three weeks of the season, but he'll now have a chance to carve out a larger role in the Jaguars' offense, especially while James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) is on injured reserve.

Freiermuth hauled in three of five targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Bengals.

Freiermuth had been on the field for at least 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in each of the first two weeks of the season, but he played just 36 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 3. However, he saw a season-high five targets and brought in his first career touchdown in the loss. Across his first three NFL games, the second-rounder has brought in eight of 10 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Dissly caught his lone target for 39 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings.

Dissly handled 20 offensive snaps while Gerald Everett recorded 42 snaps. Everett finished with five receptions (five targets) for 54 yards, as he serves in more of a pass-catching role than Dissly, who is the team's best blocking tight end. Dissly only has touchdown-dependent fantasy upside in Week 4 against the 49ers.

The Panthers are expected to trade Arnold to Jacksonville in a deal that includes Jaguars CB C.J. Henderson, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Arnold didn't have much competition for TE targets in Carolina, but he also wasn't needed for a large role, seeing 11 targets on 38.5 percent snap share through three weeks. He could get more playing time in Jacksonville, as the Jaguars are arguably even weaker than the Panthers at tight end, plus they're more likely to be forced into catch-up mode -- which is when a blocking-challenged TE like Arnold is more likely to see snaps and targets. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Jaguars were in the mix to sign Arnold back in March before he ultimately agreed to terms with Carolina.

Bryant did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Bears.

The good news for Bryant is that he out-targeted fellow backup tight end David Njoku (zero targets) for a second straight week. The bad news is that his 33 snaps ranked third behind Njoku (50) and Austin Hooper among Cleveland tight ends for a third consecutive week.

Njoku was not targeted in 50 snaps (62 percent share) in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Bears.

Njoku continues to get a healthy share of the snaps on offense, but his fantasy production dropped off for a second straight week following a five-target performance in a Week 1 loss to Kansas City. The main difference in the two weeks since the opener is that Cleveland is running the ball much more than they did in the Kansas City game, which was a more wide-open affair. Fellow backup tight end Harrison Bryant (33 snaps, 41 percent share) failed to catch either of his two targets.
