Kraft caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Kraft briefly left Sunday's contest with a shoulder injury, but he was able to return and finish the game. Kraft was limited in all three practice sessions last week with the same injury, suggesting it could be a lingering issue. However, he was not listed on the final injury report for Week 3, and there has not yet been any indication that his Week 4 availability is up in the air.

Sanders failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

With Tommy Tremble all the way back from a hamstring injury, Sanders has reverted to being Carolina's No. 2 tight end. The rookie played just 26 offensive snaps and was held without a catch for the first time in his young career. However, Sanders could earn increased playing time in the Panthers' relatively weak tight end room as the season progresses -- Tremble has never caught more than 23 passes in a season during his career and has a limited ceiling as a pass-catcher.

Musgrave caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Musgrave did not start alongside fellow tight end Tucker Kraft for the first time this season, and although he closed the gap in the snap-count department -- Kraft played 39 to Musgrave's 33 -- the latter once again played only a bit role in the offense. Musgrave has tallied just two receptions on four targets through three weeks, so although starting quarterback Jordan Love (knee) could return in Week 4, something else will have to change before Musgrave is back on the fantasy radar.

Tremble caught all three of his targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

The Notre Dame product appears to be the Panthers' top tight end once again after being out-snapped by Ja'Tavion Sanders in Week 2. Tremble played 38 more offensive snaps and saw two more targets than Sanders during Sunday's win. However, Tremble's increased offensive workload didn't translate into many more opportunities. Carolina's offense looks rejuvenated with Andy Dalton taking the reins from Bryce Young, meaning Tremble could find fantasy relevance more often as long as the veteran remains under center.

Schultz caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

Schultz, who had been hobbled by an ankle injury during the practice week, was on the field for 96 percent of the offensive snaps. A season-ending injury to Brevin Jordan (knee) cleared out the only real threat to Schultz's volume, and his five targets Sunday were a season high.

Andrews did not record a catch on one target in Sunday's 28-25 win over Dallas.

Baltimore attempted only 15 passes after maintaining a significant lead for the majority of the matchup. That limited volume for all of Baltimore's pass catchers -- including Isaiah Likely -- but the performance still continued an alarming start to the season for Andrews. In three games, he's commanded only eight targets while racking up 65 yards.

Pitts brought in two of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Pitts did most of his damage on a 50-yard reception that did not result in a touchdown in Sunday's narrow loss. The 2021 first-round pick has produced 105 yards and one touchdown off of eight receptions through three weeks. Better days should be ahead for the athletic tight end now that a proven arm like Kirk Cousins is delivering him the football compared to recent Falcons signal-callers. That said, Pitts' production to date will result in a mid-level rating heading into another tough defensive matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Ferguson recorded six receptions on 11 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to Baltimore.

Ferguson returned from a one-game absence caused by a knee injury and immediately led the team in targets, receptions and yards. The majority of his production came in the final 16 minutes of game time as the Cowboys took to the air, highlighted by gains of 17 and 26 yards late in the third quarter. This was a unique game script, but Ferguson should remain a key figure in Dallas' offense and often command the second-most targets behind CeeDee Lamb.

Kelce caught four of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons.

Kelce's slow start continued in the first half, as he had just four yards on two targets. He made a nine-yard catch on the first play of the third quarter and added an 18-yard catch four plays later but then went quiet again. The star tight end has a meager 69 receiving yards and has yet to score a touchdown heading into a Week 4 road game against the Chargers.

Trautman secured his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers.

Trautman led all Denver tight ends in playing time, as he was on the field for 68 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps. The veteran's catch was his first of the season, as he has not been a big part of the Broncos' underwhelming aerial attack through three weeks. Trautman's usage ahead of the more versatile Greg Dulcich is a bit puzzling, especially on a day in which rookie quarterback Bo Nix attempted 36 passes. Even with his increased playing time in Week 3, the 27-year-old Trautman should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos visit the Jets in Week 4.
