Engram secured three of five targets for 22 yards in the Giants' 36-9 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Engram's day is accurately encapsulated by his underwhelming stats, which were particularly disappointing on a day when the Giants were missing Saquon Barkley (knee) and Sterling Shepard (toe). The fourth-year tight end was reportedly looking very explosive during training camp after missing the second half of last season with a foot injury, but he's now averaging just 8.7 yards per grab on his 11 receptions through three games. Engram will look to better his numbers across the board versus the Rams in Week 4 road battle.

Dwelley secured all four targets for 49 yards in the 49ers' 36-9 win over the Giants on Sunday.

The third-year tight end saw some extra opportunity with Jordan Reed (knee/ankle) leaving the game on two separate occasions, the second time for good in the second half. George Kittle (knee) is likely to return for a Week 4 Sunday night matchup against the Eagles, but Dwelley could operate as his primary backup if Reed remains sidelined.

Graham caught six passes for 60 yards and two touchdowns in Chicago's 30-26 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

With the Bears playing from behind for most of this contest, they were forced to go with a pass-heavy attack, resulting in Graham being targeted 10 times, which was second on the team behind Allen Robinson. He was also targeted in the end zone on two different occasions, but both attempts fell incomplete. Once Nick Foles took over under cente forr Mitchell Trubisky early in the second half, it was clear that Foles was very comfortable throwing the ball to his tight end, leading to seven of his targets coming after the quarterback change. Between being targeted 17 times and his high usage in the red zone this season, he has the look of a solid streaming option at tight end.

Waller (knee) caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.

While Waller was able to suit up, he seemed to be operating at far less than 100 percent after catching 18 balls over Las Vegas' first two games. If the tight end can get healthier, he should be more involved in Week 4 against the Bills.

Goedert (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Bengals.

Goedert left the contest in the first quarter after making his only catch, a seven-yarder. Before heading to the locker room, his left ankle was examined by the team's medical staff, and the injury is severe enough to end his day. With Goedert out, Philly will lean on Zach Ertz to handle most of the TE work, while Richard Rodgers is the only other Eagle at the position.

Goedert (ankle) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Goedert limped off the field after making a seven-yard catch and had his left ankle examined on the sideline before the visit to the locker room. It's unclear if he'll be able to return, but in Goedert's absence Zach Ertz should have plenty of opportunity to produce with just Richard Rodgers to worry about in his position group.

Keene (coach's decision) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The 21-year-old will be inactive for his third straight contest this season, highlighting his lack of a role in the offense. With Keene sidelined, Ryan Izzo and Devin Asiasi will be the only healthy tight ends on the roster Sunday.

Waller (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Waller missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, before returning to a limited session Friday, but assuming no in-game issues, look for the tight end -- who logged a 12/105/1 stat line while being targeted 16 times in this past Monday's win over the Saints -- to continue to be a focal point of the Raiders' offense in Week 3.

Waller (knee) is expected to play Sunday at New England, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Waller sat out the first two practices of the week before working as a limited participant Friday to earn the questionable tag, and he's likely to suit up against the Patriots. RB Josh Jacobs (hip) is also expected to play, which would provide the Raiders with their top two offensive weapons.

Cager was elevated from the practice squad to the Jets' active roster ahead of their Week 3 trip to Indianapolis, Andy Vasquez of USA Today Sports reports.

Cager should see some game action against the Colts as one of four active wide receivers, along with Chris Hogan, Josh Malone and Braxton Berrios (hamstring), who is listed as questionable. If Berrios can't go, the undrafted free agent out of Georgia would see the field in three-wide sets.
