  • Hunter Henry TE | NE

    Patriots' Hunter Henry: One catch in Week 10

    Henry, who logged 57 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his four targets in the contest for 14 yards.

    With the Patriots relying heavily on two-TE sets Sunday, Henry's teammate Austin Hooper was on the field for a season-high 41 snaps en route to catching three of his four targets for 64 yards. Given that he continues to see steady snaps in New England's Drake Maye-helmed offense, Henry -- who racked up 20 catches over his previous three outings -- is a bounce-back candidate in Week 11 versus the Rams.

  • Cade Stover TE | HOU

    Texans' Cade Stover: Multiple targets in loss

    Stover caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit.

    Stover had multiple targets, including his first in the red zone, for a third consecutive week. Dalton Schultz remains the primary option at tight end, but Stover is enjoying increased attention due to injuries at wideout. The rookie tight end has eight receptions on 13 targets for 87 yards through 10 games.

  • Zach Ertz TE | WAS

    Commanders' Zach Ertz: Leads Commanders in targets

    Ertz recorded four receptions on eight targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers.

    It was a mixed day for Ertz, who saw his involvement in the offense return after he earned only one target in Week 9. He led the team in opportunities Sunday, though that translated to an uninspiring yardage total, with Ertz's longest gain going for only nine yards. Ertz should continue to play a role in the offense, but the explosive elements will be left primarily to Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Fumble negates mild production

    Ferguson caught four of five targets for 24 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles.

    Ferguson led the Cowboys in receiving yardage in a game during which the offense mustered just 66 passing yards. The tight end's mild output was virtually negated when he coughed up one of Dallas' four lost fumbles Sunday. Ferguson was an average fantasy option when Dak Prescott (hamstring) was under center, but with the latter possibly done for the season, it is safe to downgrade the Cowboys' position players if Cooper Rush continues to start against the Texans next Monday.

  • Dalton Schultz TE | HOU

    Texans' Dalton Schultz: Season-best 66 yards

    Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

    Schultz earned fewer than five targets for only the second time since Week 3, which came as a surprise given the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee). However, Schultz still managed his highest yardage total of the season, primarily thanks to a 32-yard reception early in the third quarter. Though it was a positive performance, Schultz has still managed to top 35 yards in only two games for the campaign.

  • Sam LaPorta TE | DET

    Lions' Sam LaPorta: Dealing with sprained AC joint

    LaPorta (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint in Sunday night's 26-23 win over the Texans, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    LaPorta sustained the injury in the second half, bringing his night to a premature end. The tight end had three catches for 66 yards and a score prior to leaving the game, notching his third touchdown over the last five games. Head coach Dan Campbell said following the contest that LaPorta's injury is "not something he's super worried about," but he also added that the tight end "might miss this week." The Lions will host the Jaguars on Nov. 17, and LaPorta's status at practice will be worth monitoring ahead of the contest.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Nabs touchdown Sunday

    Goedert (hamstring) had two receptions on three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 win over Dallas.

    Goedert returned from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury to reclaim his role as the Eagles' starting tight end. The 29-year-old didn't post big receiving numbers, but he still helped fantasy managers by cashing in Philadelphia's lone passing touchdown on the day. Now healthy, Goedert should resume being a standard league starting option after racking up 17 receptions for 232 yards in his two full games prior to injuring his hamstring in Week 6.

  • Trey McBride TE | ARI

    Cardinals' Trey McBride: Gains 71 yards Sunday

    McBride caught four of five targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 31-6 rout of the Jets.

    McBride didn't replicate his anomalous rushing touchdown from a week prior, but he continued to operate as one of Kyler Murray's favorite targets in Sunday's victory. The 24-year-old McBride has accrued a 49-552-0 line (plus a two-yard rushing TD) through nine starts as Arizona enters its bye week. McBride will likely continue being a reliable fantasy tight end when the Cardinals resume play against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.

  • Sam LaPorta TE | DET

    Lions' Sam LaPorta: Questionable to return Sunday night

    LaPorta (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Texans.

    The tight end caught three passes for 66 yards and a touchdown before exiting. LaPorta has 25 catches for 366 yards and three scores on the year. Brock Wright is Detroit's next man up at tight end.

  • Evan Engram TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Evan Engram: Six catches in loss

    Engram recorded six receptions on eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.

    Engram was one of the few Jacksonville pass catchers who was able to get anything going with Mac Jones under center. He led the team in targets and was the only player to record more than a pair of receptions. The end result was still uninspiring for Engram, as he was targeted primarily in short areas of the field, limiting his ability to rack up meaningful yardage.
