Asiasi was on the field for 29 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Raiders, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

That's a season high for the rookie, but he wasn't targeted in the contest. For now, New England's tight ends aren't a big part of the team's passing attack, and Asiasi's fantasy upside is limited in that context, especially because he continues to be out-snapped by Ryan Izzo (43).

Lewis was targeted twice and finished with one reception for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-30 victory over the Saints.

Lewis found himself in the right place at the right time when Aaron Rodgers scrambled out of the pocket in the third quarter, and he was able to find paydirt for the first time this season. He's started all three games the Packers have played, but he's been targeted only three times and was on the field for just 20 of the 62 plays Green Bay ran Sunday. Robert Tonyan is the tight end to target if you're looking to scoop up a Packers tight end.

Thomas caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 21-16 win over the Chargers.

Thomas was unsuccessfully targeted on Carolina's first offensive play, then hauled in his only other look shortly after committing a holding penalty in the second quarter. Through three games, the tight end has managed just three grabs for 25 yards despite his regular starting role, making for a disappointing fantasy return to date.

Hurst registered a one-yard touchdown on his only catch during Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bears.

The 27-year-old has now gone for touchdowns in back-to-back weeks, after totaling just three total TDs across 28 regular-season games in a Ravens uniform. Hurst's fantasy output was salvaged by the score Sunday, as he attracted only three targets against Chicago after tallying 13 combined between Weeks 1 and 2. Hurst will face a Packers defense in Week 4 that has so far held opposing tight ends to 139 total receiving yards with zero TDs.

Moreau caught two passes on as many targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.

Moreau caught his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard connection with quarterback Derek Carr as time nearly expired in the first half. The LSU product also collected just the third 20-plus yard reception of his young career Sunday in New England, while starter Darren Waller caught only two of four targets for nine yards.

Everett caught both of his targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo.

While his 34 receiving yards hardly moved the fantasy needle, both grabs showed off Everett's athleticism. He's talented and has the potential to be a solid fantasy contributor, but his target share will probably never provide enough opportunities as long as the Rams are healthy, and especially with fellow tight end Tyler Higbee clearly ahead of him on the depth chart. There's still a chance Everett proves to be a late bloomer, so keeper/dynasty managers should add him to their watch lists in case he finds a larger role elsewhere -- he's in the final year of his rookie contract, after all.

Higbee caught both his targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo. He also caught a pass to complete a two-point conversion.

After scoring three touchdowns last week against Philadelphia, it wasn't surprising to see Buffalo focus on slowing down Higbee, and he didn't catch a pass until halfway through the third quarter. The fourth-year tight end did have an impressive 31-yard reception and remains a focal point of the passing attack, but opposing teams could also continue game planning to keep him in check. Week-to-week inconsistently could quickly prove to be part and parcel for Higbee moving forward.

Thomas caught four of seven targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Browns, playing 85 percent of snaps on offense.

Thomas has finished first or second on the team in targets in every game this season, but it hasn't translated to consistent production, as he's now on pace for a 64-501-5 receiving line on 128 targets. If nothing else, his catch rate should improve as the year moves along, though efficient production may be too much to ask for in an offense with Dwayne Haskins at quarterback. Thomas is tied for the second-most targets (24) among tight ends, so he's at least on the map as a low-end fantasy option for Week 4 against the Ravens.

Akins caught two of three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Steelers.

Akins, who had his second catch of 20-plus yards on the season, has 11 receptions through three weeks. Darren Fells was considered the big name among Houston tight ends entering 2020, but Akins has passed him as the No. 1 option at the position in Houston. He's played 78.2 percent of the offensive snaps compared to Fells' 44.2 percent.

Bryant caught one of two targets for three yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington.

Bryant's touchdown catch, the first of his NFL career, proved to be the game-winning score for the Browns, who fought back from two deficits in the game. Bryant has one catch in each of his first three games while getting additional reps in the wake of a knee injury to David Njoku. Bryant's 40 snaps and 63 percent of the offensive plays were season highs for the rookie.
