Henry brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to San Francisco.

Henry finished with disappointing numbers for the third time in four starts this season. The veteran tight end saw one more target than backup Austin Hooper, but the latter was the recipient of Jacoby Brissett's lone passing touchdown in the loss. Henry showed us in Week 2 that he can be a fantasy factor, but that glow has faded heading into Sunday's tilt against the Dolphins.

Kelce recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers.

After combining to earn only 12 targets through three games this season, Kelce finally saw a more significant role in the Chiefs' offense. He had a few big gains on the day, the longest of which was a 38-yard catch down the right sideline on the team's first possession. While Kelce isn't likely to return to his production from past campaigns, he'll almost certainly regain his role as the centerpiece of the offense with Rashee Rice (knee) suffering an apparent long-term injury Sunday.

Bowers caught two of three targets for 19 yards and added a 12-yard run in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.

Bowers has just seven targets in Vegas' last two games after being targeted 17 times in his first two games, as defenses have paid more attention to the rookie first-round pick after his hot start. He scored five touchdowns on 19 rushing attempts over his three years at Georgia, so perhaps Bowers will add more of that element to his game moving forward after registering his first NFL rushing attempt in Sunday's win. Bowers will look to increase his involvement as a pass catcher Week 5 against the Broncos.

Parkinson brought in four of seven targets for 33 yards in the Rams' 24-18 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Parkinson tied for second in receptions and was the runner-up in targets as well on the afternoon for the Rams, who continued to operate without top two receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (IR, knee). The fifth-year veteran has at least three receptions in three of his first four games, but if Tyler Higbee comes off the reserve/PUP list ahead of a Week 5 home matchup against the Packers, Parkinson's role in the offense could start to diminish even if Kupp and Nacua remain out.

Freiermuth recorded five receptions on seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.

Freiermuth was one of the few things the Pittsburgh offense had going in the first half, as he led the team in targets and yards. Though his usage faded in the final two quarters, this was still a promising performance for him as he managed both his first catch of 20 or more yards and touchdown of the season. Though it hadn't led to significant fantasy success prior to Sunday's matchup, Freiermuth has a clear role in the Pittsburgh offense, as he now has at least four catches in all four games on the campaign.

Kraft secured six of nine targets for 53 yards and a touchdown and also lost a fumble in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

Kraft finished with the second-most catches on the afternoon for the Packers and established new season highs across his receiving line. He recorded his first touchdown of the season on a 13-yard grab in the fourth quarter, a play he followed up with a two-point conversion grab that brought Green Bay within six points. However, Kraft's subsequent fumble at his own 44-yard line with 4:27 remaining was costly, as his team was nine points down at the time. Kraft's increase in involvement was encouraging, however, and he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Rams on the road in Week 5.

Kittle (ribs/hamstring) corralled all four of his targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots.

Kittle was already returning from a hamstring injury that cost him the Week 3 tilt against the Rams before needing to leave Sunday's contest against the Patriots with a rib injury. The physical tight end gets banged up often, but he generally toughs it out whenever possible, illustrated by the fact that Kittle returned promptly from the medical tent while tacking on another catch before finishing off the win over New England. Do not be surprised if the eight-year pro pops up on the injury report leading up to Week 5, but assuming the fantasy stud suits up against Arizona, he makes for a strong play after providing at least four catches and 40 yards in three active games while nabbing two touchdowns for managers thus far this season.

Kmet caught three passes on three targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.

After a 10-catch outburst against the Colts in Week 3, Kmet saw his workload reduce considerably with the return of Keenan Allen from a two-game absence due to a heel injury. Kmet did finish tied for second in receptions and as the runner-up in receiving yards on the afternoon for Chicago, but his production Sunday is likely to be much closer to the norm than what he was able to do in the aforementioned loss to Indianapolis.

Sanders caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals.

Tommy Tremble appeared to have reclaimed Carolina's No. 1 tight-end spot after outperforming Sanders in Week 3. However, the rookie from Texas caught two passes to Tremble's none in Week 4, so it seems that Sanders was more involved in the team's offensive gameplan. Sanders remains too inconsistent to be a viable fantasy option at the moment, but he's likely the Panthers' best pass-catching TE, and his role could grow as he continues adjusting to the NFL level.

Tremble wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals.

The Panthers' tight-end room remains seemingly open, as Tremble was thought to be the team's top option but was out-produced by rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (two catches for 16 yards) again in Week 4. Despite Carolina's immense offensive improvements over the last two weeks, Tremble remains too inconsistent to be a viable fantasy option moving forward.
