Njoku secured five of seven targets for 29 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Njoku was third on the Browns in both receptions and targets, but that equated to very modest production yardage-wise on an afternoon during which Jameis Winston was harassed by the Chargers defense to the tune of six sacks and three interceptions. Njoku does have at least five catches in four consecutive games, and he and Winston should benefit from a more palatable matchup in a Week 11 visit to the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

McBride gathered in three of four targets for 35 yards and had a two-yard rushing touchdown during Sunday's 29-9 win versus the Bears.

The third-year pro's first career rush resulted in an end-zone visit for the Cardinals' initial tally of the contest. His target count, while below his norm of 8.0 per game, ranked second on the team to rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison's five. Game script allowed Arizona to play keep away from Chicago, as the Cards cranked out 34 carries versus just 20 Kyler Murray pass attempts. McBride will look to bounce back as a pass catcher next Sunday against the Jets.

Sanders secured four of five targets for 87 yards in the Panthers' 23-22 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Sanders recorded a team- and career-high yardage figure with the help of a game-long 46-yard catch on the second play of the second half. The rookie fourth-round pick now has at least four catches and 49 receiving yards in three of the past four games, and with Tommy Tremble (back) seemingly unable to stay healthy for long, Sanders may be asserting himself as the top option at tight end.

Gesicki secured five of six targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Gesicki was the surprise leader in receiving yards on the afternoon for the Bengals, but he'd never gotten close had it not been for the 58 yards he gained on his two second-half touchdown grabs, the latter an impressive 47-yard catch and run with 5:37 remaining to put the game definitively out of reach. Gesicki has consistently delivered strong performances whenever Tee Higgins (quadricep) has been sidelined, and he may have another opportunity to take the field without his teammate due to the short turnaround before a Week 10 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night.

Bowers secured five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Bowers had a quiet day for the most part despite the favorable matchup against a Bengals defense that had struggled against tight ends. However, he salvaged his fantasy day late with a 22-yard touchdown grab from Desmond Ridder with 41 seconds remaining, which served as only the second receiving score of his career. Bowers will continue serving as one of the primary targets for either Gardner Minshew or Ridder in a Week 11 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 17 following a Week 10 bye.

Ferguson caught seven of 10 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons.

CeeDee Lamb led the Cowboys in catches (eight) and targets (12), but Ferguson paced the team in receiving yards in his best performance since he racked up a 6-95-0 line on 11 targets in Week 3. The third-year tight end recorded two of his receptions with Cooper Rush under center in the fourth quarter after Dak Prescott (hamstring) left the game, and if Rush gets the start in Week 10 against the Eagles, Ferguson could see big volume again.

Kincaid caught four of 10 targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins.

Kincaid set a season high in targets, exceeding seven for the first time this season. The extra volume didn't lead to an uptick in production, but Kincaid has at least established a solid floor with over 30 yards in eight consecutive games after an 11-yard dud in the season opener. Kincaid will try to pick up the pace in Week 10 against the Colts.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged after Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders that he's concerned about the right knee injury All sustained in the contest, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Before hurting his knee Sunday, All had caught both of his targets for 24 yards. All previously tore the ACL in the same knee during his final collegiate season at Iowa in 2023, and after the Bengals selected him with a fourth-round pick in April, he missed the entire offseason program before being cleared for full practices in August. If All's latest knee injury costs him game action, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson would be candidates to see added snaps at tight end alongside Mike Gesicki.

Bryant exited Sunday's contest against the Bengals with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.

Prior to leaving, Bryant caught both of his targets in the passing game for 22 yards. Justin Shorter is next up on the depth chart at tight end behind Brock Bowers.

All exited Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a right knee injury.

Prior to that, All had caught both of his targets for 24 yards. While he's sidelined, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson will handle the Bengals' tight-end duties versus Las Vegas.
