Andrews caught all five targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 36-35 win over the Chiefs.

Andrews' performance was an improvement over his three-catch outing in Week 1, but he has still yet to score a touchdown after scoring 17 over the last two seasons. It seems like Lamar Jackson is looking to go downfield more, which has resulted in more targets for Marquise Brown and the newly-acquired Sammy Watkins. Andrews will look to get his first taste of the end zone against the Lions on Sunday.

Kelce had seven receptions (eight targets) for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-35 loss to Baltimore.

The Ravens were keying in on Tyreek Hill (three receptions for 14 yards), so Kelce was asked to do most of the heavy lifting on underneath routes. Even his 46-yard touchdown came on a short pass that the tight end took to the house with some nifty moves for a big man. Kelce has proven that his superhero abilities are not tied to the beard he shaved this offseason, as he now has 13 receptions, 175 yards and three touchdowns through two contests. The star tight end will look to keep things rolling against the Chargers in Week 3.

Freiermuth brought in all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Raiders.

Freiermuth was targeted just once in his NFL debut against the Bills last week, but he was more involved in the passing game during Sunday's loss. Eric Ebron saw two targets in Week 2, but Freiermuth drew the start against the Raiders and has carved out a modest role early in his NFL career.

Goedert recorded two receptions on two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers.

The Eagles didn't have much production through the air as a team, which trickled down to affect the pass catchers. Goedert finished second on the team with 24 yards, behind only Quez Watkins, who tallied 117. Things should open up more for the offense in Week 3 against Dallas, though Jalen Hurts has shown a tendency to spread the ball around, so Goedert may not have bankable volume moving forward.

Kroft caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 25-6 loss to the Patriots.

Kroft and fellow tight end Ryan Griffin (two catches for 10 yards) both played minor roles as the Jets failed to find the end zone in their home opener. With rookie quarterback Zach Wilson struggling to get comfortable at the NFL level, the Jets' passing attack will be tough to trust in Week 3 against the Broncos.

Pitts secured five of six targets for 73 yards in the Falcons' 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The fourth overall pick slogged through his NFL debut against the Eagles a week ago, but Pitts looked much more the part Sunday in a tough defensive matchup. Pitts notched a team-high 24-yard reception on his way to pacing the Falcons in receiving yardage, and he also flashed improved efficiency after bringing in only half his eight targets in Week 1. Pitts will look to continue his ascent against a vulnerable Giants defense in a Week 3 road battle.

Fant recorded four receptions on six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Jaguars.

Fant was the team's second-most targeted receiver in the absence of Jerry Jeudy (ankle). The majority of his work was limited to short areas of the field, and he managed only 5.5 yards per target as a result. However, he found the end zone from 14 yards away -- it was his only catch that went for double-digit yards -- to prop up his production. Fant should remain heavily involved in the offense in another exploitable matchup in Week 3 against the Jets.

Gesicki caught three of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.

Gesicki was third in both targets and receiving yards behind wide receivers DeVante Parker and Jaylen Waddle. It was encouraging to see the 25-year-old tight end get more involved after failing to record a catch in the season opener, but Gesicki's struggles as a blocker will likely continue to limit his usage in Week 3 against the Raiders and beyond. Jacoby Brissett played most of the game under center following Tua Tagovailoa's rib injury, so it remains to be seen who will be throwing to Gesicki moving forward.

Waller recorded five receptions on seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Steelers.

Waller turned in a solid performance, but it was a disappointment relative to his explosive Week 1 effort. Even so, he matched Henry Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow to lead the team in targets and provided chunk gains of 25, 13 and 10 yards. Opposing teams are likely to focus a lot of attention towards Waller, though if Ruggs continues to beat defenses deep, Waller could find more room to operate.

Smith (hip) caught four of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-6 win over the Jets.

Smith suited up after battling a hip injury during the week. James White and Jakobi Meyers tied for the team lead in targets while Smith checked in third in the category, just ahead of fellow tight end Hunter Henry (four). The Patriots have just one passing touchdown heading into a Week 3 date with the Saints, as New England's formula for winning games revolves around the defense and running game.
