  • C.J. Uzomah TE | PHI

    Bengals' C.J. Uzomah: Pedestrian results against Dallas

    Uzomah had five catches for 43 yards on five targets Sunday against the Cowboys.

    Uzomah is still searching for his first NFL touchdown, though the red zone targets have been few and far between since Week 2 - he had two apiece the first two weeks, and just one since.

  • Marcedes Lewis TE | DEN

    Jaguars' Marcedes Lewis: Unable to practice Monday

    Lewis (hip) did not practice Monday.

    Though dealing with a hip pointer, Lewis is still expected to play against the Bears this weekend. However, he'll likely need to partake in practice before that expectation could possibly come into fruition.

  • Austin Hooper TE | ATL

    Falcons' Austin Hooper: Held to one reception in win

    Hooper caught one pass for 14 yards in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

    Quarterback Matt Ryan threw 28 passes Sunday, but only one of them was in the direction of Hooper. Atlanta's passing offense is one of the best in the game this season, but the availability of options means Hooper isn't getting regular targets.

  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Chargers' Hunter Henry: Grabs a short touchdown at Oakland

    Henry hauled in three of four targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss at Oakland.

    Henry set up his one-yard touchdown in the third quarter with a 59-yard reception. On the long pass, Henry showed off decent speed in the open field, running away from a couple of defenders. Meanwhile, Antonio Gates (hamstring) returned from a two-game absence, and came up with a touchdown catch of his own. Even though Gates is back, Henry has probably done enough to remain a part of the offense. Next week, he'll have a touch matchup against the Broncos.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Eagles' Zach Ertz: Quiet Sunday in loss to Lions

    Ertz caught all three targets for just 37 yards in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Lions.

    Ertz was deemed healthy enough to return after sitting out the last two games with a rib injury, but he was not a large of Sunday's game plan, as the targets were distributed rather evenly among Philadelphia receivers. He was heavily involved in the season opener before he was injured, and should see his workload increase in Week 6 versus the Redskins.

  • Jesse James TE | LV

    Steelers' Jesse James: Finds end zone Sunday in win over Dolphins

    James caught six of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Jets.

    The Steelers aired it out Sunday as they struggled to generate offense on the ground, leading to season highs in targets and receptions for James. He should be no better than the fourth or fifth receiving option on his team most weeks, but he clearly has the attention of Ben Roetlisberger in the red zone, as he already has three scores to his name this season. He will look to add to his totals in Week 6 versus the Dolphins.

  • Dwayne Allen TE | NE

    Colts' Dwayne Allen: Finds pay dirt in win over Bears

    Allen caught all six of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-23 win over the Bears.

    Allen's touchdown catch came on a crucial fourth down from the 1-yard line in the first half. He found the end zone for the first time since Week 1 while also setting a season high in catches. The veteran tight end only scored once in 13 games last season, but his eight-touchdown 2014 campaign proves that he's capable of being a dangerous red-zone weapon for the Colts.

  • Connor Hamlett TE | DAL

    Browns' Connor Hamlett: Scores first NFL touchdown against Patriots

    Hamlett caught one pass (one target) for a 17-yard touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

    Hamlett was activated off the practice squad earlier this week due to injuries to tight ends Randall Telfer (ankle) and Seth DeValve (knee) and was able to make his mark with his first NFL touchdown reception. Gary Barnidge is still the man in Cleveland, but Hamlett could ultimately turn into a red-zone threat.

  • MyCole Pruitt TE | PIT

    Vikings' MyCole Pruitt: Suffers knee injury

    Pruitt went down with a knee injury in Week 5 and is questionable to return, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    If he can't return, Kyle Rudolph will represent the only healthy tight end remaining for the Vikings for the remainder of the contest.

  • MarQueis Gray TE | MIA

    Dolphins' MarQueis Gray: Questionable to return with leg injury

    Gray has a leg injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Titans, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Gray sits behind Jordan Cameron and Dion Sims on the Dolphins' tight end depth chart, so if he is forced to miss the rest of the game, it shouldn't affect the overall performance of Miami's offense too much. In any case, Dominique Jones is in line to take Gray's share of snaps if the latter is unable to return to Sunday's game.
