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.

Waller caught eight of 10 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Broncos.

The veteran tight end was Bryce Young's favorite option on the afternoon, leading the Panthers in catches, targets and receiving yards, and Waller was on the other end of a 15-yard TD strike from the QB in the third quarter. It was Waller's most productive game since he returned from a brief retirement last season, and through eight games in 2026 he's put together a 23-299-4 line on 35 targets. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 10 against the Saints.

LaPorta brought in four of five targets for 32 yards in the Lions' 19-9 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

LaPorta finished a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a quiet day for the Lions' passing attack. The fourth-year tight end had back-to-back 80-plus-yard efforts in Weeks 4 and 5, but he's totaled a modest 83 total receiving yards over the subsequent three contests. LaPorta will look to boost his production back up in the Week 10 matchup against the Patriots in Germany next Sunday.

Kelce brought in four of six targets for 72 yards in the Chiefs' 35-12 win over the Jets on Sunday. He also rushed once for one yard.

Kelce led the Chiefs in receiving yards and finished second in targets on the afternoon, and his tally in the former category also served as the legendary tight end's second highest of the season. Kelce got there with a big boost from a game-high 38-yard catch, and he'll take a formidable 33-482-2 line into a Week 10 road matchup against the Falcons next Sunday.

Coach Sean McVay noted Sunday that Ferguson pulled his hamstring during Friday's practice and will likely be sidelined for another couple of weeks, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Ferguson, who had previously been out with an ankle injury, was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and on the verge of a return to the Rams' lineup prior to Friday's setback. With that in mind, McVay said that the tight end was going to be a "big part" of the game plan Sunday against the Commanders. Instead, Tyler Higbee (one catch for 13 yards on five targets) and Colby Parkinson (four catches on any many targets for 13) yards) were the team's primary pass-catching options at the TE position in Week 9.

Alie-Cox is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Dallas due to a groin injury.

Alie-Cox exited in the fourth quarter and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. The veteran tight end has been a minor part of Indianapolis' offense this season, logging four catches through eight games. Alie-Cox hadn't recorded a catch or target prior to his departure Sunday.
