Waller caught nine of 12 targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.

He was once again Derek Carr's favorite target, and no other Raider caught more than five passes on the afternoon. Waller appears over the knee issue that may have hampered him last week, and the tight end could see high volume in Week 5 against a Kansas City defense that's allowed two touchdowns to TEs through its first three games.

Kmet failed to catch his only target in the Bears' 19-11 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Kmet has caught just a single pass for 12 yards on the season, and he won't have fantasy value unless his role in the Chicago passing attack increases significantly.

Graham caught four passes for 33 yards in Chicago's 19-11 defeat to the Colts on Sunday.

Graham was blanked in the first half, but after the Bears fell behind by double digits, they had to lean heavily upon the pass, and as a result, Graham ended up with a respectable five targets. He'll likely continue to be a factor when Chicago is in the red zone, but he's also averaging six targets per game, giving him a decent weekly floor for a tight end.

Engram caught six of 10 targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.

He led the Giants in targets on the afternoon as Daniel Jones was forced to get rid of the ball quickly, but Engram wasn't able to do much with the volume. The fourth-year tight end has only 131 receiving yards through four games and has yet to find the end zone, but that could change in Week 5 against a reeling Cowboys defense that's allowed a touchdown to a TE in each of its last three contests.

James caught one of two targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 35-39 loss to the Saints.

James caught his longest pass as a member of the Lions, but he'll certainly remain a complementary piece of the Lions' passing game as long as everyone else is healthy.

Hockenson caught two of four targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-29 loss to the Saints. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Hockenson was mostly held quiet by a Saints defense that had been the weakest in the league at defending tight ends coming into the game, though the second-year pro was able to salvage his day with a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter. His two-point conversion capped the scoring, as Detroit never got the ball back after pulling within six with 3:40 to go. Hockenson has caught 15 of 20 targets for 180 yards and two touchdowns heading into Detroit's Week 5 bye.

Andrews recorded three receptions for 57 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4 against Washington.

Andrews bounced back from a tough Week 3 performance when he appeared out of sync with Lamar Jackson. He recorded a pair of touchdowns in a single game for the second time this season, hauling in scores of 25 and 22 yards. There was little else left for Andrews to do throughout the game, as the Ravens attempted only 23 passes in their lopsided victory. Andrews will have another favorable matchup in Week 5, as Baltimore will face off against the Bengals.

Togiai (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

Togiai played 53 offensive snaps over the past two weeks and failed to catch his lone target, and he won't be available Sunday as a healthy scratch. Trey Burton (calf) returned from injured reserve Saturday and will be in the mix with Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox.

Akins has been diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Akins recorded three catches for 46 yards before absorbing an illegal hit from Vikings safety Harrison Smith, who was ejected for his actions. Darren Fells will operate as the top tight end for the rest of the game while Pharaoh Brown rotates in.

Akins is being evaluated for a possible concussion Sunday against the Vikings, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Prior to his exit from the game, Akins paced the Texans with three catches for 46 yards. Darren Fells is next up for the team's pass-catching looks at tight end.
