Andrews caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Broncos.

Andrews' performance in Week 9 was a big letdown after he had upped his production over the previous three contests, scoring four touchdowns in that span. The 29-year-old's two targets accounted for his lowest total since Week 4, as he wasn't a major part of the game plan against a stingy Denver defense.

Pitts secured his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.

Pitts was an afterthought in Week 9, as his one target in the contest represented his lowest total of the season. Top wideout Drake London (hip) exited the game and could be in danger of missing a Week 10 matchup with the Saints, in which case Pitts could be a beneficiary. Through nine games, the 24-year-old Pitts has totaled 50 receptions for 552 yards and six touchdowns, putting him on pace to have his most productive season in his four-year career.

Hurst caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns.

After missing the past two games with a groin injury, Hurst returned to a limited role as a backup tight end in Los Angeles behind teammate Will Dissly. In six games this season, Hurst has totaled just seven catches for 65 yards. His minimal production should keep him far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Titans.

Dissly caught two of his three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns.

Dissly led all Chargers tight ends in playing time Sunday, logging 39 of 57 offensive snaps in the contest. Fellow tight ends Eric Tomlinson and Hayden Hurst played 16 and eight snaps, respectively. Dissly's nine yards accounted for his lowest mark of the season, and was especially disappointing after he had produced a 13-122-0 receiving line on 18 targets across the previous two contests. Hurst missed both of those games with a groin injury, and though Hurst isn't expected to handle a major role moving forward, his return to action in Week 9 looks as though it could suppress Dissly's snap and target counts moving forward.

Granson caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Granson was on the field for 44 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, just behind fellow tight end Mo Alie-Cox (48 percent) for the lead in the position group. The 26-year-old Granson now has just four receptions for 75 yards through nine games this season, and his lack of consistent involvement in the passing game should continue to keep him well off the fantasy radar.

Smith secured five of six targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.

Smith played a season-high 68 percent of offensive snaps in the loss, while also recording his fourth straight game with at least six targets. His recent uptick in involvement in the passing game has been encouraging, though that's come with wideout Jaylen Waddle becoming less of a factor with an average of just 24.5 receiving yards in his last four appearances. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has historically distributed targets primarily to Tyreek Hill and Waddle, and if that trend eventually resurfaces, it could come at Smith's expense. Still, Smith has earned streaming fantasy consideration heading into a Monday night road game against the Rams in Week 10.

Gray didn't catch his lone target in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.

Gray has performed quite well this season as the No. 2 tight end behind star TE Travis Kelce, as the former has produced 17 receptions for 208 yards through eight games. He needs to find the end zone to have any fantasy appeal.

Morris caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win against Miami.

Morris logged just eight offensive snaps in the victory, but he made an impact with a two-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth quarter to break a 20-20 tie. That reception was the 25-year-old's first catch and first target of the campaign. With that in mind, Morris is not on the fantasy radar as he sits behind both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox on Buffalo's tight-end depth chart.

Mundt failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.

Mundt slid to the No. 3 spot at tight end with T.J. Hockenson returning to the field in Week 9 after missing the first seven games of the season while recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in 2023. Mundt was limited to a season-low 19 offensive snaps and he'll continue to operate behind Hockenson and Josh Oliver moving forward.

Knox finished Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins with one catch on two targets for five yards.

Knox had his best game of the season in Week 8 against Seattle with two catches for 50 yards, but he couldn't follow that with meaningful production against Miami. The veteran tight end has recorded one or zero catches in eight of his nine contests on the campaign, making him an afterthought in most fantasy leagues. It would likely take Dalton Kincaid missing time for Knox to reemerge on the fantasy landscape this season.
