Okonkwo caught six of seven targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Rams.

Okonkwo finished tied for the team lead in targets with wide receiver Van Jefferson, reeling in at least five passes for the second time in three games. The tight end's seven targets matched a season high, and he is still searching for his first touchdown as a member of the Commanders after joining the team in the offseason.

Johnson caught both of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 overtime win over the Browns.

Johnson made a catch early in the game but wasn't heard from again until overtime, when he caught a 15-yard touchdown to open the extra period. It proved to be the game-winner after the Browns failed on their two-point conversion following their touchdown with one minute left on the clock. After a strong start to the season in which he caught three touchdowns and posted 50-plus yards in each of the first four games, Johnson has been limited to just 57 yards and one score on seven grabs across the last four games. With Jordyn Tyson back to muddy the picture even further, Johnson is more of a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet.

Kittle caught four of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.

Kittle had at least three more targets than any teammate Sunday but finished 28 receiving yards shy of Jordan Watkins' team-leading total, while Brock Purdy's two touchdown passes went to Christian McCaffrey and Watkins. Sunday's output marked Kittle's third-lowest yardage total of the season, but the star TE recorded at least four catches for a seventh consecutive game. He'll look to add to his season totals of 38 catches for 483 yards and five touchdowns in Week 10 against the Cowboys.

McBride recorded seven catches (on eight targets) for 54 yards during Sunday's 17-3 loss at Seattle.

With QB Jacoby Brissett getting traded to Baltimore this past week, McBride was on the receiving end of passes from Gardner Minshew, and the result was the tight end's fourth-fewest receiving yards in a game this season and also the fourth time he didn't reach the end zone through nine contests. On a positive note, McBride extended his streak with at least seven receptions to 11 outings, which matches the second-longest streak in NFL history, trailing only the 14 Antonio Brown put together from 2014-2015. McBride may have a tough task on his hands next Sunday against the Rams' surging defense.

Barner caught two of four targets for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Cardinals. He added three carries for three yards and an additional touchdown.

Barner was the Seahawks' closer, finishing off both touchdown drives with short scores against Arizona. His first was a one-yard rushing touchdown, and Barner then caught a seven-yard score from Drew Lock. Both touchdowns came in the second quarter. For the season, Barner has 23 grabs for 210 yards and one touchdown on 38 targets. He's also rushed for two scores. Barner is in the large group of touchdown-or-bust fantasy options at tight end.

Henry caught all three of his targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers.

Henry returned to action after suffering a foot injury in the first half and missing the majority of the team's Week 8 win over the Dolphins. The tight end was held in check versus Green Bay, finishing with three or fewer catches for the sixth time this season. Henry has now reeled in 32 of 37 targets for 361 yards and two touchdowns over nine contests so far during the 2026 campaign.

Bowers caught seven of eight targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-17 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed once for two yards and lost a fumble.

Bowers had a 21-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter and came one yard short of scoring again on a 33-yard catch on a fourth-quarter drive that ended with a Kirk Cousins interception in the end zone. The star TE has reached 70 receiving yards in all seven of his appearances this season and is up to six touchdowns. Bowers came five receiving yards shy of his season high and continues to roll, even as the 4-5 Raiders drop out of contention in the AFC. He'll likely face more resistance in Week 10 against the Seahawks, who just held Cardinals TE Trey McBride to 54 yards.

Fannin caught both his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints.

With Shedeur Sanders under center for the first time in place of Deshaun Watson (concussion), Fannin did little in regulation as the second-year QB instead looked for rookie wideouts Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion. Sanders went back to a more familiar target in OT, however, connecting with Fannin on a 39-yard TD in the extra frame that saw the tight end flatten a couple defenders with stiff arms on his way to the end zone. Fannin had a slow start to the season, but over the last three weeks he's amassed an 18-287-1 line on 23 targets, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 10 clash with the Texans no matter who is throwing him passes.

Goedert caught five of six targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 19-11 loss to the Giants.

Goedert finished one catch and 11 yards shy of Makai Lemon's team-leading totals in Joe Milton's first start for the Eagles. Both of Goedert's touchdowns this season came back in Week 1, and the Eagles have since changed QBs twice. Goedert's best result in the three games started by Tanner McKee was a six-catch, 61-yard outing, so the veteran TE has remained consistent even as the offense around him falls apart due to injuries. Milton, McKee and rookie fifth-round pick Cole Payton are all potential candidates to start in Week 11 against the Steelers after Philadelphia's Week 10 bye.

Warren brought in four of seven targets for 44 yards in the Colts' 27-23 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Warren tied for second in receptions and finished as the runner-up in both receiving yards and targets after a slow start to Sunday's loss. The second-year tight end's role could be even bigger by next Sunday's Week 10 home matchup against the Dolphins, as the Colts could conceivably move both Josh Downs and Jonathan Taylor, not to mention quarterback Daniel Jones, by Tuesday's trade deadline. Warren has at least four receptions in every game with the exception of Week 1 heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.
