Engram hauled in six of his 12 passes for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

The rookie tight end led the Giants in receptions and yards for the second straight week and had twice as many targets as his nearest competition. Engram's third touchdown of the season gave the Giants the lead early in the second quarter, but that would be all the scoring they'd do on the day. The first-round pick has established himself as Eli Manning's go-to guy now that Odell Beckham (ankle) and Brandon Marshall (ankle) are out for the year. The Giants are headed for a Week 8 bye, but Engram should continue to provide stable production Week 9 and beyond, even with the likely return of Sterling Shepard from an ankle injury.

Graham hauled in three of six targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-7 defeat of the Giants.

It could have been an even bigger day for the athletic tight end as Graham dropped a fourth-and-goal pass that hit him right in the hands as the second quarter began. He dropped another ball in space later on, too. Nevertheless, the 30-year-old has seen at least six targets (including at least one look in the red zone) in every game this season outside of Week 2 and continues to rank in the upper tier at his position. Seattle takes on Houston at home Week 8.

Derby caught six of seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 21-0 loss to the Chargers.

Derby was utilized heavily, leading the team in targets, catches and yards en route to the second highest output of his career. He broke off a 23-yard gain at one point, making him the only Broncos offensive piece to make a play longer than 17 yards. Derby had just one catch a week ago, but this effort is promising on the heels of a big game in Week 4. He seems to be growing into his role in the offense and will look to build off this outing next week against the Chiefs.

Smith caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 12-9 overtime win at Cleveland.

Smith wasn't a major contributor here, but he could be in for an expanded role in the coming weeks. Top tight end Delanie Walker exited this one with a sprained ankle, and Smith would inherit a lot of extra snaps should Walker sit. Tennessee's on bye next week, but Smith would be a solid streamer afterwards if Walker still isn't healthy.

Kroft secured all four of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 29-14 loss to the Steelers.

Operating as the starter in place of the injured Tyler Eifert (back), Kroft wasn't targeted often down the field. However, he was a reliable short-range outlet, which proved handy on a day quarterback Andy Dalton often had little time to throw. The 2015 third-rounder has now seen at least four targets per week in his new role while averaging 4.3 receptions and 39.3 yards in those games. Together with the fact he's scored three times in that same span, Kroft is looking to be a relatively high-floor fantasy option, albeit one without a ton of upside.

Henry caught four of five targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 21-0 win over the Broncos.

Henry finished second on the team in targets and led the way in yardage by a considerable amount. He's gained 163 yards on nine catches over the last two weeks, giving him three games with at least 70 receiving yards this season. Henry seems to be growing into his role as the team's new top tight end and will enjoy a favorable matchup against the Patriots in Week 8.

Hollister (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Hollister was a late addition to the injury report due to a chest injury but will suit up against Atlanta. He is mostly a blocking tight end, with only two catches for 24 yards to his name so far in 2017.

Njoku caught two passes (five targets) for a team-high 58 yards during Sunday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Titans.

DeShone Kizer was unable to hook up with Njoku before being benched, but luckily for the rookie tight end, Cody Kessler made a habit of looking his way. The two connected for gains of 27 and 31 yards, with the latter setting up a game-tying field goal in the third quarter. Njoku has hauled in at least two passes in every game this season, and he has 10 targets over the past two weeks after seeing a total of 15 during games one through five.

Daniels (knee) is active for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Jaguars.

The undrafted rookie rarely logs a significant amount of offensive snaps, and he's been targeted just seven times this season, hauling in two receptions for 19 yards. Unless there's injuries, Daniels should stay off fantasy owners' rosters.

Hollister is dealing with a chest injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Hollister was a late addition to the injury report this week and was a limited practice participant Friday. The 23-year-old mostly serves as a depth tight end and has minimal fantasy value with Rob Gronkowski and Dwayne Allen currently healthy.
