Fannin brought in seven of nine targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

The second-year tight end led the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, and he capped off Cleveland's upset victory with a 14-yard touchdown grab at the 1:48 mark of the fourth quarter. The score proved to be the difference in the game, and it was preceded by a two-yard scoring grab just before halftime. After a quiet Week 1, Fannin has come alive with a combined 12-125-2 line on 15 targets over the last pair of contests, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 4 divisional home showdown against the Steelers on Thursday night.

Oliver (arm) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Oliver went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game and was promptly ruled out after being evaluated by medical staff. Gavin Bartholomew will be the top backup behind T.J. Hockenson for the rest of Sunday's game.

Parkinson (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Despite Parkinson being a listed non-participant on all three Week 3 practice reports due to a knee injury, head coach Sean McVay relayed to Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register on Friday that the tight end was "trending in the right direction" ahead of Sunday's game. Indeed, Parkinson is available, but he may yield some of his position-leading 74 percent snap share to fellow active TEs Terrance Ferguson, Davis Allen and Tyler Higbee. Parkinson has three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards and no TDs through the first two games of the season.

LaPorta caught three of four targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.

The fourth-year tight end had his quietest game of the season, as five different Lions saw at least three targets from Jared Goff on the afternoon. LaPorta has been a complementary piece of an offense dominated by Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown in the early going, producing a 14-144-1 line on 19 targets through three contests. LaPorta will look to step up his numbers in Week 4 on the road against the Panthers.

Sadiq caught seven of eight passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions.

The rookie tight end made a spectacular play to haul in his first career TD reception in the second quarter, leaping from about the five-yard line and stretching out the full length of his 6-foot-3 frame to bring in a 24-yard pass from Geno Smith. Sadiq is very quickly making an impact with his athleticism, and through his first three NFL games he's compiled a 12-143-1 line on 14 targets while adding a three-yard score on his only carry. He'll look to continue building chemistry with Smith in a Week 4 road trip to Chicago.

Andrews (hand) returned after halftime of Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Andrews missed some time in the second quarter due to a hand injury, but it won't stop him from rejoining Baltimore's offense after a spell in the locker room. He'll be looking to add to his one catch (on three targets) for nine yards prior to his exit.

Warren caught nine of 10 targets for 55 yards and added a two-yard run in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Texans.

Warren failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season but set a new career high in catches while seeing plenty of involvement as a pass catcher in the absence of wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle), who was placed on IR after exiting early in the Week 2 loss to Kansas City. The second-year tight end is poised to maintain a prominent role when the Colts travel to London to face the Commanders in Week 4.

Schultz caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.

Schultz crashed back down to earth after recording 12 catches for 140 yards in the previous game. The Texans remained without top WR Nico Collins (hamstring), and only Xavier Hutchinson (51) had more receiving yards than Schultz as C.J. Stroud threw for just 167 yards in Sunday's loss. Schultz figures to remain among Stroud's top targets in Week 4 against the Cowboys, even if Collins comes back.

Andrews exited Sunday's game versus the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro due to a hand injury.

Before he departed in the second quarter Sunday, he reeled in just one of three targets for nine yards. For as long as Andrews is sidelined, WRs Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman likely will serve as the top pass catchers in Baltimore's offense.

Kelce caught both of his targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.

Kelce notched a 48-yard gain on the game's opening play and added an 11-yard touchdown catch with 2:55 remaining in the fourth quarter. Despite Kelce's lack of involvement as a pass catcher in between those two plays, he finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Rashee Rice, who turned nine targets into 88 yards. Heading into a Week 4 road game against the Raiders, Kelce has compiled 14 catches for 231 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets.
