Arnold hauled in one of his two targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

The Wisconsin-Platteville standout did not enjoy prolific outings in Weeks 1 or 2 either, but he managed multiple receptions and at least 21 receiving yards in each of those contests. Week 3 marked a down week not only in terms of Arnold's statistical production but also in regards to his usage, as he logged a season-low 31 offensive snaps (his previous season low being 45). Arnold's upcoming matchup against Carolina is not a particularly appealing one, as the Panthers have allowed 108 receiving yards and no touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season.

Hollister caught his lone target for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.

Hollister reeled in a designed pass play from Russell Wilson at the goal line to account for his first touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old tight end still has minimal fantasy utility behind Greg Olsen and Will Dissly, as Hollister hasn't played more than 18 percent of the offensive snaps in a game this season.

Dissly caught both targets for five yards in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.

Dissly is the clear No. 2 TE behind Greg Olsen, as he's played about 40 percent of snaps through three games. The Seahawks' shift to a pass-heavy approach hasn't benefited Dissly, however. He's caught all five targets this year for just 22 yards, and none of those have come in the red zone. Fantasy managers hoping for sleeper potential with Dissly can confidently jump ship.

The Titans placed Hudson on the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Hudson either tested positive for the virus or came in contact with someone who tested positive. He'll need to pass the proper protocols before returning to the team.

Helm signed with the 49ers on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

The 49ers signed Helm off the Buccaneers' practice squad following news that Jordan Reed (knee) is expected to miss six to eight weeks. Helm will simply serve as depth since George Kittle (knee) appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

The Eagles placed Goedert (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Goedert was diagnosed with a small fracture in his left ankle following Sunday's 23-23 tie with the Bengals, and while he won't require surgery, the third-year TE will miss at least three games while on IR. He'll be eligible to return in Week 7 against the Giants, a Thursday night game. The Eagles pass catchers have been hit with a major injury bug, as Jalen Reagor (thumb) is out long term while Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) are uncertain for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Expect Richard Rodgers to handle some of the reps left behind by Goedert, but the team could opt to use fewer two tight-end sets for the time being and simply lean more heavily on Zach Ertz.

Goedert is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks after being diagnosed Tuesday with a small fracture in his left ankle, but the tight end won't require surgery to address the injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Surgery may have put Goedert at risk of missing the rest of the season, but the 25-year-old looks like he may only be in store for a short-term trip to injured reserve, which would entail an absence of at least three games. The Eagles may even hold out hope that Goedert can beat that timeline and return to action Week 6 versus Baltimore, but for the time being, he can probably safely be ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco along with the Eagles' Oct. 11 game at Pittsburgh. Along with Goedert, wideouts Jalen Reagor (thumb), DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot) are all at risk of sitting out the Week 4 game, so the undermanned Eagles could be down to tight end Zach Ertz, running back Miles Sanders and receivers Greg Ward and John Hightower as the top targets in the passing game.

Goedert sustained a fractured left ankle in Sunday's 23-23 tie with the Bengals and is expected to miss an extended period of time, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Goedert would miss "some time" with the injury, though the coach didn't offer any specifics regarding the nature of the ankle issue, nor did he put a firm estimate on how long the tight end would be sidelined. With the news that Goedert is dealing with a fracture rather than a sprain to his left ankle, the 25-year-old looks to be a strong candidate for short-term injured reserve at the very least, which would result in a three-game absence. Fellow tight end Zach Ertz could absorb some extra targets while Goedert is on the mend, but there may be plenty of looks up for grabs among the Eagles' pass-catching corps with wideout Jalen Reagor (thumb) set to remain sidelined during the Eagles' Week 4 game in San Francisco. Alshon Jeffery (foot), DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (lower body) may also be at risk of missing that contest.

Andrews caught three of eight targets for 22 yards in Monday night's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Andrews and the rest of the Ravens offense had a performance to forget, but the tight end's failure to come up with a catchable, would-be touchdown during the third quarter made his outing all the worse. On the bright side, Andrews at least led Baltimore in targets, setting a new season high in the category as well. Following back-to-back down performances, Andrews should be desperate to return to his best form in Week 4 versus Washington.

Kelce caught six of seven targets for 87 yards in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.

Kelce led the Chiefs in receiving yards while going for a season-long gain of 29 yards during Monday's contest. Although he couldn't continue his touchdown streak to start the season, instead seeing teammates Anthony Sherman and Eric Fisher vulture close-range scores through the air, Kelce still caught six passes for the third straight game and topped 85 yards for the second in a row. Up next for the highly touted tight end is a matchup against the Patriots in Week 4.
