Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.

Musgrave surpassed the two receptions and nine yards he managed over the first three weeks of the season, but his output and snap count (25) still paled in comparison to fellow tight end Tucker Kraft, who was on the field for 65 plays and racked up six receptions on nine targets for 53 yards and a score. The Packers could utilize more two-tight-end formations if Christian Watson (ankle) misses time, but Musgrave remains well behind Kraft when it comes to fantasy value.

Stover caught his lone target for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4.

Stover's 27-yard catch moved the Texans to midfield on a drive that eventually resulted in the team's first touchdown. Brevin Jordan's season-ending knee injury has elevated Stover to the No. 2 tight end behind veteran Dalton Schultz. The rookie tight end has two catches on two targets for 45 yards.

Schultz caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over Jacksonville.

Schultz again dealt with an ankle injury during the practice week, but it hasn't prevented him from seeing significant action. In Week 3, he logged 96 percent of the offensive snaps, and the veteran tight end was on the field for 87 percent of plays Sunday. Schultz moved up to third on the target list with Tank Dell (chest) inactive for the game.

Ruckert caught both of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

Ruckert has put together back-to-back two-catch efforts, but he has just four targets to Tyler Conklin's 14 over that span. With Conklin firmly atop the depth chart and the Jets' offense as a whole struggling to find consistency, Ruckert remains off the fantasy radar until further notice.

Hooper logged 38 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers while catching both of his targets for 13 yards and a TD, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Meanwhile, fellow tight end Hunter Henry was on the field for 50 snaps en route to hauling in two of three targets for 12 yards. Through four contests to date, Hooper has six catches on 11 targets for 68 yards and a TD, a pace that keeps him off the fantasy radar while splitting work with Henry.

Conklin caught four of eight targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

After leading the Jets with 93 receiving yards in a 24-3 win against the Patriots the week before, Conklin crashed back down to earth despite tying Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard for the team lead in targets against the Broncos. Conklin didn't catch either of his two first-half targets and had a 12-yard catch in the third quarter nullified by a penalty, but he chipped in a few short catches after that point to at least salvage a passable PPR performance. Conklin and the Jets will try to bounce back against the Vikings in a Week 5 trip to London.

Akins caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders.

Akins filled in for starter David Njoku (ankle) for a third consecutive game, but he saw his fewest snaps of any of those contests. Blake Whiteheart (21 snaps) and Geoff Swaim (24) shared the load at tight end Sunday. Akins has nine receptions on 14 targets for 76 yards over four games this season.

Whiteheart caught all three of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.

Whiteheart capped Cleveland's first drive of the game with a one-yard touchdown grab, the first of his career. He was targeted twice on the 15-play drive and wound up being more productive than starter Jordan Akins, who caught one of two targets for 10 yards. Until David Njoku (ankle) is ready to play, Whiteheart and Akins could split red-zone looks.

Andrews dropped his only target in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.

Andrews uncharacteristically dropped a sure catch that hit him in the hands early in Sunday's lopsided victory. The All-Pro tight end still helped his team to victory with several key blocks in front of Derrick Henry (24-199-1) and the rest of Baltimore's rushing attack. That said, the perennial fantasy stud has faded in 2024 to the tune of a 6-65-0 receiving line through four weeks, providing no relief for fantasy managers who took him early in drafts. Andrews will perhaps re-establish trust with both fantasy GMs and his MVP quarterback when the Ravens visit the Bengals in Week 5.

Kincaid caught five of seven targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.

Kincaid continued the trend of increasing his target and receiving yard totals in every game this season, topping his respective Week 3 marks of five and 41. He's still searching for the first 50-yard performance of his sophomore season after topping that mark in six of his last 11 regular-season games as a rookie. Kincaid will try to finally reach that threshold in Week 5 against the Texans.
