  • Mike Gesicki TE | CIN

    Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Produces 91 yards in victory

    Gesicki caught five of six targets for 91 yards during Sunday's 43-17 win over the 49ers.

    Gesicki finished second on the team in targets and receiving yards while posting his second-best totals of the season in both categories. He averaged an impressive 18.2 yards per reception and pleased fantasy owners by bouncing back after totaling just two catches for 30 yards over his previous two games. Gesicki will look to build on this productive outing in a seemingly favorable matchup next Sunday against the Broncos.

  • 49ers' George Kittle: Makes four catches vs. Dolphins

    Kittle caught four of eight targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 43-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Kittle led the team in catches while tying for first in targets and receiving yards. The production was quite modest compared to his 183-yard effort from a week ago and wasn't aided by the team's decision to remove Jimmy Garoppolo at halftime following a dismal opening half. Kittle could bounce back in next week's matchup against the Rams but will need better quarterback play to produce against one of the better defensive units in the NFC.

  • Evan Engram TE | DEN

    Giants' Evan Engram: Gets into end zone Sunday

    Engram caught one of two targets for 16 yards and gained nine rushing yards and a touchdown on two carries in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.

    The tight end opened the scoring for the Giants midway through the first quarter on a reverse, taking the pitch from Daniel Jones and eluding Everson Griffen for a three-yard score, Engram's first visit to the end zone this season. However, he saw little attention afterward. After seeing a season-high 10 targets in last week's loss to the Rams, his lack of activity as a receiver was a disappointment. Engram will look to earn a more consistent role in Week 6 against Washington.

  • Darren Waller TE | MIA

    Raiders' Darren Waller: Five catches in Week 5 upset

    Waller brought in five of seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 40-32 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Waller led the Raiders in receptions and targets, and his five-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter began a comeback from a 21-10 deficit. Waller has just two scores on the campaign, but he's already boasting a 34-295 line on 47 targets through five games. The veteran tight end will look to continue surging in Week 7 against the Buccaneers following a Week 6 bye.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Yet another TD in Week 5

    Andrews corralled six of his nine targets for 56 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 27-3 win against the Bengals.

    The reigning Pro Bowl tight end has been on a tear in the scoring department with TDs on three of his 12 targets the past two weeks. Andrews has been held to three or fewer receptions on three occasions thus far this season, but his five total TDs compensate for the low catch total. A thigh injury that hindered Andrews throughout the practice week is something to keep an eye on, but after he made it through Sunday's contest with no issue, he's seemingly a full-go for a Week 6 matchup against the Eagles. Heading into the weekend's slate of games, Philadelphia ranked second-worst in the NFL with five receiving TDs surrendered to opposing tight ends.

  • Gerald Everett TE | CHI

    Rams' Gerald Everett: Leads team in receiving yards

    Everett secured all four targets for 90 yards in the Rams' 30-10 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday.

    Everett was the surprising leader in receiving yards on the day for the Rams, with a 40-yard grab playing a key role in his tally. The fourth-year pro logged a season high in targets a week after seeing just one versus the Giants, so he'll look to follow this performance with another productive one in a Sunday night Week 6 road matchup against the 49ers.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Paces pass catchers in loss

    Kelce brought in eight of 12 targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 40-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    The All-Pro tight end led the Chiefs in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, and his seven-yard touchdown grab with 3:57 remaining gave Kansas City some fleeting hope. Kelce's 100-yard effort was his first of the season, and he's now logged double-digit targets on two occasions over the first five games. Kelce will look to stay hot in a Week 6 Monday evening road matchup versus the Bills.

  • Blake Bell TE | KC

    Cowboys' Blake Bell: Returns to action Sunday

    Bell (knee) has re-entered Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Bell briefly left the field with a knee issue Sunday, but he managed to return without missing much time. He'll resume working as the top backup to Dalton Schultz.

  • Blake Bell TE | KC

    Cowboys' Blake Bell: Leaves Sunday's game

    Bell was forced out of Sunday's game against the Giants with a right knee injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Bell departed in the first quarter after reeling in his lone target for a 13-yard gain. It didn't appear too serious at the time, but if he's unable to return, Sean McKeon is due for an increase in reps behind starter Dalton Schultz.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: In uniform Sunday

    Andrews (thigh) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    As expected, Andrews is a go after being added to the Ravens' injury report Thursday in the wake of logging a limited practice and subsequently being one of 12 players listed as questionable by the team for Sunday's game. Through four contests, the tight end has hauled in 12 of his 20 targets for 166 yards, with two-TD efforts in both Week 1 and Week 4.
