Ferguson recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Patriots.

Ferguson has been a favorite check-down option for Dak Prescott early this season, and that was no different Sunday as he led the team in targets, receptions and yards. He was a significant contributor to the offense early in the game, as he racked up 50 of his 77 yards within the first four offensive possessions. Ferguson now has seven targets in three of four contests this season, and he's been trusted in more of a downfield role in the last two weeks.

Henry recorded four receptions on five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys.

Henry was one of the few bright spots for New England, as he led the team in targets, receptions and yards. He also accounted for three of the Patriots' longest gains of the day, which went for 21, 14 and 12 yards. Henry has at least five targets in every game this season and has topped 50 receiving yards in three of four contests.

Lewis caught his lone target for eight yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Lewis is a blocking specialist who saw his first target of the season. It's unlikely he earns a regular role as a receiver unless his role changes.

Tonyan caught two passes for 18 yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Tonyan's two receptions were his first catches of the season. As the clear No. 2 tight end behind Cole Kmet, Tonyan will likely struggle to see consistent target volume.

Kmet brought in seven of nine targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also rushed once for one yard.

Kmet was second in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for Chicago with what were also season-high figures. The fourth-year pro's pair of scoring grabs, which came from 22 and three yards out in the second quarter, featured some nifty work from Kmet in conjunction with Justin Fields. Kmet typically has a handful of productive games per season, so Sunday's numbers aren't a complete surprise. They also may not be easily replicable, but Kmet will aim to carry his momentum over into a Week 5 Thursday night matchup against the Commanders.

Parham (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Chargers' game against the Raiders on Sunday.

Parham exited the game in the first half and has now officially been downgraded to out. The 26-year-old was unable to haul in his only target, and in his absence, Stone Smartt should see an increase in playing time.

Njoku (arm/face) caught six of seven targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens.

Njoku didn't seem negatively affected by the burns he suffered in a home accident Saturday, as he was the only player to exceed 20 receiving yards for the Browns with backup quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center in place of Deshaun Watson (shoulder). The veteran tight end set season highs in targets and catches while finishing two yards shy of his season high, but Njoku's outlook for Week 6 against the 49ers would still benefit if Watson returns following the Week 5 bye. Njoku caught two touchdowns in five games alongside Watson last season, but he's still searching for his first score of 2023.

Higbee (Achilles) secured five of 11 targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 29-23 overtime win against the Colts.

Despite landing on the injury report early in the week with a dreaded Achilles injury, a freshly-extended Higbee showed no signs of a slowdown as he was peppered with targets from Matthew Stafford all game long. The only thing missing from the veteran tight end's resume this season is a touchdown, but Higbee hasn't seen the end zone much through his career (20 career touchdowns in 114 career games). With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) likely back soon, Higbee will likely find himself as more of a supporting role in the passing game behind the aforementioned Kupp, rookie phenom Puka Nacua, and Tutu Atwell, which may depress his value somewhat.

Parham (wrist) is questionable to return against the Raiders on Sunday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Parham left Sunday's game in the first half after not catching his lone target. Stone Smartt will be in line for more snaps if the 26-year-old is unable to return to action.

Andrews caught all five of his targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Browns.

Andrews scored a seven-yard touchdown with 11 seconds left in the first half, then added an 18-yard touchdown in the fourth as the Ravens padded their lead. The productive tight end led the team in targets as Lamar Jackson threw it only 19 times with the Ravens content to keep the clock running with a run-heavy approach after taking the lead over a Browns team that was missing Deshaun Watson (shoulder). Despite the modest volume, Andrews delivered his first multi-touchdown game since Week 3 of last season. He'll remain a set-and-forget fantasy play at tight end in Week 5 against the rival Steelers.
