Barner caught three of five targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss versus the 49ers.

Barner easily paced Seattle's tight ends in terms of offensive snaps (58) in Week 5, and his five targets represented his second best mark of the season so far. The majority of his targets continue to come underneath, however, and he's still looking for his first receiving touchdown of the campaign. The Seahawks will travel to take on Denver in Week 6.

Okonkwo caught four of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants.

Okonkwo had his most productive day of the year, finishing tied for the team lead in receptions with wide receiver Terry McLaurin while his six targets led the way for Washington. The tight end has now caught eight of 13 targets for 81 yards over three contests this season, and he'll look to continue building his chemistry with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels moving forward.

Helm failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

Helm failed to catch a pass in a regular-season contest for the first time in his NFL career, and the tight end has now garnered two total targets over the last two games. The Titans offense has been far from effective so far in 2026, and Helm has little to no upside from a fantasy perspective.

Hudson suffered a pectoral injury during the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Hudson finished Sunday's game having caught all three of his targets for 14 yards, which included a two-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter to give the Bengals a 21-7 halftime lead. He played a total of 27 snaps (19 on offense, eight on special teams), and although it's unclear when he picked up the injury, it's severe enough to potentially require a stint on injured reserve. Rookie seventh-rounder Jack Endries would be in line for a larger role if Hudson misses time.

Pitts caught five of six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

Pitts scored his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard reception in the second quarter. He has stirred to life after a painfully slow start, recording eight catches for 89 yards and a TD over the last two games after having just two catches for 20 yards through Week 3. Michael Penix sustained a rib injury late in the game, and while Tua Tagovailoa proceeded to throw the game-losing interception in overtime, it's worth noting that Pitts was Tagovailoa's primary target in the preseason. Atlanta's QB situation will bear monitoring ahead of a Week 6 home game against the Bears.

Andrews caught four of six targets for 28 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons.

Andrews finished third on the team in catches and receiving yards behind wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, but the veteran tight end had a forgettable night full of miscues. Atlanta's first touchdown came on a 36-yard Jessie Bates return of Andrews' first-quarter fumble, and Andrews also failed to come down with a pair of catchable balls in the end zone, one of which would have resulted in a touchdown, while the other was an attempted two-point conversion. Andrews' ceiling would rise if the Ravens get starting QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) back in Week 6 at Cleveland, but Sunday night's quiet performance was due primarily to Andrews' own miscues rather than any shortcomings on the part of backup QB Tyler Huntley.

Schultz caught three of four targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.

Schultz has now caught three or fewer passes while failing to exceed 30 receiving yards in three straight contests. The tight end has garnered just nine targets since Week 2 after he caught 16 of 22 targets for 175 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Schultz may have a tough time getting back on track against the Jaguars' impressive defense in Week 6.

Hibner (hand) has returned to action Sunday night against the Falcons, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Hibner sustained a hand injury in the first half, but he has now returned to the field after the break. The tight end will operate as the No. 2 option at his position behind Mark Andrews for the final stretch of the contest.

Henry caught three of four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 45-17 win over the Raiders.

Henry was able to reel in at least three passes for the fourth time this season, and his biggest moment of the game came in the second quarter when Drake Maye connected with him for an 11-yard score. The tight end has now caught 15 of 19 targets for 177 yards and a touchdown over the first five games of the season.

Hibner (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Falcons.

Hibner suffered a hand injury in the first quarter, and his availability for the rest of the contest is now uncertain. In his absence, Mark Andrews will continue to handle the lion's share of the workload at tight end.
