Henry caught four of his five targets for 60 yards in the overtime victory Sunday over the Colts.

Henry was shut out in the first half, but the tight end found his stride in the second, ultimately overshadowing wide receivers Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin. The 24-year-old is likely no better than No. 4 in terms of quarterback Phillip Rivers' favorite pass catchers, but situated in an explosive offense he'll likely continue to be a high-ceiling, moderate-floor fantasy option at his position.

Engram caught 11 of 14 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Cowboys.

He was Eli Manning's top option by far on the day, with Cody Latimer finishing second on the Giants with eight targets. Engram's speed and athleticism make him a mismatch for most linebackers, even the vaunted Dallas duo of Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch, and with the Giants' offensive scheme focused on shorter routes and quick strikes to help protect Manning, Engram seems headed for a breakout campaign.

Kittle brought in eight of 10 targets for 54 yards in the 49ers' 31-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The final line indicates Kittle failed to find the end zone, but he actually saw eight- and 22-yard touchdown receptions nullified by penalty in the first and second quarters, respectively. The third-year tight end also paced the 49ers in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, validating the ample fantasy-related hype he was the subject of leading into the regular season. While Kittle's yardage total was relatively underwhelming, his line would naturally have looked completely different had the aforementioned pair of scoring grabs gone on the ledger. Kittle will look to build on his solid opener at the expense of the Bengals in Week 2.

Dissly is doubtful to return to Sunday's contest against the Bengals due to a right knee injury, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Dissly hurt the same knee that sustained a patella tendon injury in 2018, ending his rookie campaign after four games. He seemed to make a complete recovery by the start of this season, but this development puts a damper on those hopes. The nature of the current issue (and its corresponding recovery timetable) should be revealed in due time.

Hooper hauled in all nine of his targets for 77 yards in Week 1 against Minnesota.

Hooper led the Falcons in receptions and yardage, turning in an ultra-efficient performance to open the season. He was aided by game script as the team was in catchup mode and forced to throw the ball 46 times, hauling in eight of his nine passes after halftime. While it was a positive start to the season, it's unrealistic to expect Hooper to continue to see the volume or efficiency that he recorded in Week 1 moving forward. However, he will draw a home matchup against Philadelphia -- who allowed a long touchdown reception to Vernon Davis on Sunday -- in Week 2, where he'll look to build on this strong opening effort.

Njoku caught four of six targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Titans.

Njoku scored a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter to cap one of two successful Browns drives in an otherwise ugly performance from the home team. After scoring four touchdowns in each of his first two NFL seasons, Njoku is hoping to establish himself as a greater threat near the goal line with opposing defenses also needing to focus on Odell Beckham, Nick Chubb and Jarvis Landry. The tight end will hope to build on this trip to the end zone in Week 2 against the Jets.

Kelce caught three of eight targets for 88 yards during Sunday's 40-26 win over the Jaguars. Fellow target Tyreek Hill left the game early with a shoulder injury and was rushed to the hospital, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.

Patrick Mahomes and Kelce are usually able to convert a higher percentage of targets into receptions, but it's hard to argue with the early results as the two connected for completions of 42 and 41 yards during the game's first 19 minutes. The fact that they came against heralded defensive playmakers A.J. Bouye and Myles Jack illustrate how much of a mismatch Kelce is no matter which position or player is covering him. Though fantasy sports certainly take a back seat to what was apparently a significant injury to Tyreek Hill, any absence Hill may have would have obvious implications for Kelce and likely lead to increased targets.

Andrews brought in all eight of his targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 59-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

The 2018 third-round pick delivered on his considerable potential with the best game of his young career. Andrews consistently proved himself a viable downfield threat for quarterback Lamar Jackson, and he then capped off his performance with a three-yard scoring connection with backup Robert Griffin III early in the fourth quarter. Andrews' day also featured a 39-yard grab, a good way to start building on the eight grabs of 20 or more yards the Oklahoma product notched during his rookie campaign. Andrews will look to build on Sunday's performance at the expense of the Cardinals in Week 2.

Daniels (coach's decision) is officially listed as inactive for Sunday's game against Detroit.

Daniels was originally promoted from the practice squad Saturday, so it's not surprising that he's among the healthy scratches. The Cardinals will roll with Charles Clay and Maxx Williams for Sunday's contest.

Seals-Jones (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Titans.

Seals-Jones was unable to make the Cardinals' 53-man roster after the preseason, but the Browns gave him another chance by claiming the tight end off waivers. With the decision to hold him out Week 1, it's clear he'll need some time to acclimate to a new system and may even need an injury to David Njoku or Demetrius Harris to make an impact in 2019.
