Mike Gesicki TE | CIN
Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Targeted once in win
Gesicki caught his lone target for minus-nine yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.
Gesicki had his worst statistical game of the young season Sunday, tallying season lows in targets, catches and yards. In addition, the 28-year-old tight end saw his lowest offensive snap share in Week 4, playing 32 percent of snaps while rookie Erick All played 60 percent of snaps. Though one game should not lead to panic, the emergence of All could result in a reduced number of opportunities for Gesicki. Nonetheless, the veteran will look to bounce back in a Week 5 matchup against the Ravens.

Erick All TE | CIN
Bengals' Erick All: Four grabs in Week 4
All secured all four his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.
With Sunday's performance, All has now recorded four catches on four targets in three-straight games. In addition, his 60 percent offensive snap share was a season-high. Though the rookie is No. 2 on the tight end depth chart, he played 18 more snaps than veteran Mike Gesicki in the contest. All's solid play may earn him even more opportunities going forward. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder will look to be more involved in Week 5 when the Bengals host the Ravens.

Dawson Knox TE | BUF
Bills' Dawson Knox: One grab against Ravens
Knox secured his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
Knox had a quiet day in Week 4 while fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid led the Bills in targets against the Ravens. The 27-year-old Knox played 27 of Buffalo's 59 offensive snaps, 10 fewer than Kincaid. Though the two tight ends are sharing playing time, Knox's smaller role in the passing game limits his fantasy potential. The veteran shouldn't be trusted for fantasy purposes barring an injury to Kincaid. The Bills will visit the Texans in Week 5.

Josh Oliver TE | MIN
Vikings' Josh Oliver: TD catch in win
Oliver had two receptions for 10 yards, including a two-yard touchdown, on two targets in Sunday's win at Green Bay.
Oliver started at tight end and played on 46 of the offense's 68 snaps. He went out for a pass on 14 snaps. Despite the touchdown, he's mostly a blocking end with just five targets in four games.

Johnny Mundt TE | PHI
Vikings' Johnny Mundt: Two receptions in win
Mundt had two receptions for 15 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Mundt's window for viable fantasy value may be closing with the return of Jordan Addison from an ankle injury and with T.J. Hockenson (knee) potentially returning to practice this week or next from the PUP list.

Nick Vannett TE | LAR
Titans' Nick Vannett: No targets
Vannett was not targeted in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
Vannett played a season-high 50 percent of offensive snaps in Week 4 against the Dolphins. However, he was used as a blocking tight end and now has zero targets in half of his four games.
-
Noah Fant TE | NO
Seahawks' Noah Fant: Two catches in loss
Fant secured both of his targets for 26 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.
Fant continued his underwhelming start to the 2024 season, as the veteran has recorded just 11 catches for 111 yards through four weeks. Operating as the Seahawks' No. 1 tight end, the 26-year-old has not been a huge part of the offense, instead sharing tight end duties with Pharaoh Brown and AJ Barner, while Seattle's wide receivers and running backs soak up most of the targets from quarterback Geno Smith. Like most other tight ends in fantasy, Fant remains difficult to trust heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Giants.

Josh Whyle TE | GB
Titans' Josh Whyle: Posts season-high snap share
Whyle recorded one catch on one target for five yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
Whyle earned a season-high 55 percent snap share, which was the highest rate of any tight end on the team. That didn't lead to much production as the Titans used a run-heavy game script while holding a lead for the entire game. Whyle could see more receiving opportunity coming out of Tennessee's bye in a Week 6 matchup against the Colts.

Chigoziem Okonkwo TE | WAS
Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: One catch in win
Okonkwo recorded one catch on three targets for five yards in Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins.
It was another quiet performance for Okonkwo, although he did match his season high in targets. While he out-targeted Josh Whyle 3-1, Okonkwo is still an afterthought for fantasy purposes.
-
Pharaoh Brown TE | ARI
Seahawks' Pharaoh Brown: Minimal production against Lions
Brown caught one of two targets for three yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.
Brown finished with just one catch on two targets for the second-straight contest. The veteran tight end's 31 percent snap share was down from Week 3, as teammates Noah Fant and AJ Barner both played ahead of him. Brown remains in a depth role with limited opportunities in Seattle's offense, keeping him off the fantasy radar heading into Week 5 matchup with the Giants.
