Moreau caught four of five targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Bears.

With the Raiders' top two receivers out, Moreau led the team in receiving just one game after scoring his first career touchdown. The rookie appears to be gradually upping his game despite playing behind uber-athletic TE target Darren Waller. Moreau's usefulness Week 7 against a dangerous Packers pass defense is dependent on the health of Tyrell Williams (foot) and J.J. Nelson (knee).

Engram caught six of his 11 targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Vikings.

Engram drew the most targets of any Giants player, but he managed a long gain of just 14 yards and was held to little on his other catches. While this performance in part can be chalked up to a tough matchup, it's a bit concerning considering Engram totaled just 54 receiving yards a week ago against a beatable Redskins defense. While his usage remains high, things won't get any easier as he tries to get back on track Thursday against the Patriots.

Ertz caught five of seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets.

Ertz found the end zone from 11 yards out less than a minute before halftime for his first touchdown of the season. The star tight end is coming off consecutive eight-TD campaigns, so he can be expected to pick up the scoring pace moving forward. Next up is a Week 6 date with the Vikings.

Waller is a candidate for extra targets in Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Bears in London with wideouts Tyrell Williams (foot), J.J. Nelson (knee) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) all declared inactive for the contest.

The breakout tight end has seen no fewer than seven targets in any contest, and given the multiple absences and the relative inexperience of the receivers set to step up, Waller could be closer to the season-high 14 looks he saw Week 3 against the Vikings. The one damper on the possible increased opportunity naturally is a Bears defense that's allowed an average of just 50 receiving yards per game to tight ends this season.

Gentry (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Gentry stepped into a bigger role with 25 offensive snaps last week against the Bengals (though he wasn't targeted), but he'll be a healthy scratch Week 5 with Vance McDonald (shoulder) ready to play. Nick Vannett will work as the Steelers' No. 2 tight end.

Daniels was promoted to the Cardinals' active roster Saturday.

Daniels was previously on the Cardinals' practice squad. He'll provide depth behind Charles Clay and Maxx Williams, but his fantasy aptitude is negligible with just two targets in 12 career games.

Graham is expected to benefit from an enhanced role in the Packers' passing attack Sunday against the Cowboys with Davante Adams (toe) ruled out for the contest, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The Packers offered a preview of what might come this weekend when Adams exited with the toe injury on the final drive of the team's Week 4 loss to the Eagles. On three straight downs at the one-yard line, Aaron Rodgers targeted Graham, with the final pass ultimately getting intercepted on a deflection. Graham still corralled his lone other red-zone target for a touchdown earlier in the game and finished with season highs in receptions (six) and yards (51), a welcome development after he failed to catch a pass in both of the prior two weeks. Given that Adams is now slated to miss a full game along with the fact that few established options exist behind him on the depth chart at receiver, Graham should once again be one of Rodgers' favored reads in the passing game.

Knox is set to serve as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end for another game with teammate Tyler Kroft (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

Knox has really been making his mark in Kroft's absence, taking over the top spot on the depth chart and catching three balls each of the last two weeks, including his first NFL touchdown in Week 3. The rookie was on the field for a season-high 65 percent of the offensive plays last week against the Patriots. Expect a similar workload this week with a handful of targets.

Andrews (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers after practicing fully Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Per Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun, Andrews "looked less tentative in practice this week than he had in recent weeks," which sets the stage for the tight end to remain a key cog in the Ravens' passing attack in Week 5. Four games into the 2019 season, Andrews has averaged eight targets an outing, en route to hauling in a team-high 23 catches for 266 yards and three TDs.

Kroft (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Kroft's continued absence comes as little surprise after he was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday. The veteran should benefit from a Week 6 bye, leaving the door open for him to potentially make his season debut Oct. 20 versus Miami.
