Higbee secured two of three targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 26-9 victory against the Cardinals.

The veteran tight end's day was defined by a big drop instead of the two catches he did make. A third-down pass from Matthew Stafford bounced just off of Higbee's fingertips, which turned what would've been a six-yard touchdown into a 25-yard field goal from Brett Maher. Through two games since Cooper Kupp's return to the lineup, Higbee has just six targets and four catches for 38 yards, and the lack of volume makes it difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups while Kupp and rookie Puka Nacua continue to dominate the attention of Stafford. A Steelers defense that has been respectable at defending against tight ends lies in wait in Week 7.

Engram brought in all seven targets for 41 yards in the Jaguars' 37-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Engram led the Jaguars in receptions by a comfortable margin as Trevor Lawrence (knee) threw for only 181 yards at 6.0 yards per attempt. The veteran tight end now has seven catches in three of the last four contests, and he's already up to 44 targets through six games, putting him on pace to surpass last season's 98. Engram next takes aim at the Saints defense in a Week 7 road matchup, although it remains to be seen if he'll be operating with Lawrence or C.J. Beathard as his quarterback in that contest.

Moreau reeled in all four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 20-13 defeat against the Texans.

Moreau benefited from this uncharacteristically passing-centric outing for the Saints' offense, as he logged more than two receptions and 20 receiving yards for the first time this season. Fellow tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) missed his third game in a row while quarterback Derek Carr attempted a season-high 50 passes. Therefore, it's not surprising that Moreau would see an uptick in his production in this contest. The 26-year-old logged the team's fifth-most targets and sixth-most receiving yards, and he's now totaled seven receptions (on seven targets) for 59 yards and one touchdown over four games played. Expect Moreau to once again take a backseat if Johnson returns for Thursday night's Week 7 matchup against Jacksonville.

Waller (groin) is active for Sunday's contest at Buffalo, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Despite sitting out Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Waller was considered "day-to-day" by coach Brian Daboll, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Indeed, Waller was able to log capped sessions Thursday and Friday before the Giants listed him as questionable for Week 6 action. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported early Sunday that Waller was in line to play Sunday, and indeed that has come to pass. Waller has a tough task ahead of him against a Buffalo defense that has allowed a cumulative 19-156-0 line on 27 targets to tight ends in five games this season.

Knox (wrist) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

Meanwhile, fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (concussion) is unavailable for the contest, a context that should allow Knox to see increased opportunities versus the Giants, thus boosting his Week 6 fantasy upside. Also on hand to provide the Bills with TE depth Sunday is Quintin Morris, who has yet to record a target in five contests to date.

Kmet brought in two of three targets for nine yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

The trusted tight end couldn't get anything going when Justin Fields (hand) was in the game, and Kmet's day predictably didn't improve once undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent took over under center in the third quarter. Kmet's yardage total was a season low, and if Fields is forced to miss any further time, the former's production could certainly be affected.

Kincaid (concussion) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

Kincaid approached the contest listed as questionable after logging limited participation in practice this week but was evidently unable to clear the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of the contest. As a result, fellow TE Dawson Knox (wrist) figures to see added opportunities in the Bills offense Sunday. Kincaid will now target a potential return to action Oct. 22 against the Patriots.

Henry (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.

Henry briefly exited in the second half but promptly returned to the field. The tight end is available to help New England's comeback bid in Vegas.

Henry left Sunday's game against the Raiders after suffering an ankle injury.

Prior to his exit, Henry caught one of his three targets for seven yards. In his absence, Mike Gesicki and Pharaoh Brown are available to handle the Patriots' Week 6 tight end duties.

Njoku (hand) caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the 49ers.

Njoku has yet to reach 50 yards in a game or score a touchdown this season. The veteran tight end's chances of accomplishing either of those feats would be bolstered if starting quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) returns in Week 7 against the Colts following a two-game absence.
