The Titans announced Tuesday they signed tight end Chase Coffman. To clear a spot on the roster, wide receiver T.J. Graham was waived.

The Ravens announced Tuesday they placed tight end Dennis Pitta (hip) on injured reserve. To take his spot on the roster, tight end Phillip Supernaw was elevated from the practice squad.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will be a hot name on the waiver wire ahead of Week 4, after breaking through for his first NFL touchdown. Kelce already ranks 10th among tight ends in Fantasy scoring, despite being featured on just 45.1 percent of the team's snaps through three games, a good sign moving forward.

Kelce played just 50 snaps in the team's first two games, but was on the field 47 times on offense in Week 3, 65 percent of the team's plays. He turned that into just three catches for 36 yards, but made up for it with a touchdown, and should get more looks moving forward.

Kelce has a tough matchup on the way in Week 4, as the Chiefs get set to take on the Patriots this Sunday. New England has allowed just 4.0 Fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, the third-lowest total in the league. Kelce might not pay immediate dividends as a waiver-wire pickup this week, but his growing role should lead to good things before long. 

The Jaguars waived/injured safety Chris Prosinski (elbow) and waived wideout Kerry Taylor and tight end Marcel Jensen. The team signed rookie tight end Nic Jacobs off the Saints' practice squad and added fullback Eric Kettani to its practice squad.

The Jets got their tight ends heavily involved Week 3 against the Bears. Rookie Jace Amaro caught three of four targets for 54 yards, Jeff Cumberland caught three of six targets for 18 yards and Zach Sudfeld had a 15-yard grab.

They'll face the Lions in Week 4.

The Jaguars made the inevitable move to put Blake Bortles in Sunday, and he should remain the team's starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. What does that mean for the team's skill position players?

Bortles took over at halftime and led the team on three scoring drives in his first six times out. He showed a proclivity for big plays -- two touchdowns -- and big mistakes -- two interceptions -- and made full use of the team's weapons. He targeted eight players in the game, and it broke down like this:

Cecil Shorts: eight targets, five receptions, one touchdown (7 yards); Allen Hurns: three targets, one reception, one touchdown (63 yards). one interception; Allen Robinson: eight targets, five receptions, one interception; Jordan Todman: one target; Mickey Shuler: one target; Will Ta'ufo'ou: one target, one reception; Denard Robinson: one target; Toby Gerhart: one target, one reception

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce came down with his first career touchdown in Week 3 against Miami.

Kelce caught a short pass from Alex Smith and took it 20 yards for a score in the second quarter. He was targeted four times and finished with three catches for 36 yards and a touchdown in a 34-15 victory. He has 10 catches for 166 yards and a touchdown through three games.

The Chiefs will host the Patriots in Week 3.

Patriots running back Brandon Bolden ran twice for 4 yards Week 3 against Oakland. Tight end Timothy Wright caught the only pass thrown his way for 20 yards.

The two will continue to play just a supporting role Week 4 at Kansas City.

The Jaguars backup pass catchers did little Week 3 against the Colts.

Will Ta'ufo'ou managed one catch for 28 yards. Mike Brown also had one catch, picking up 14 yards. Marcel Jensen gained 8 yards on one reception. 

They'll take on the Chargers Week 4.

Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was held in check Sunday, in a 37-34 win over Washington in Week 3.

Ertz was targeted just three times in the game, and caught only two passes, his lowest total of the season. He managed just 14 yards, with a long reception of 10 yards in the win.

Ertz has been a solid contributor through three games, as he heads into Week 4 against the 49ers with nine receptions for 177 yards and a touchdown.
