  • Sam LaPorta TE | DET

    Lions' Sam LaPorta: Records six receptions

    LaPorta tallied six receptions on seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.

    The Lions' offense was sluggish for the entire game, though LaPorta escaped with a decent stat line. His six receptions were his second-highest mark in seven games, and he topped 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in that span. Also encouraging was LaPorta's role, as he finished third on the team in targets -- ahead of the likes of Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and Jameson Williams.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Season-best effort in win

    Kelce secured 12 of 13 targets for 179 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Kelce led the Chiefs in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon by a wide margin, with his 142 receiving-yardage total over the first two quarters also serving as his career high for a half. The perennial All-Pro was much quieter in the second half, but he still posted season-best figures across his receiving line. Kelce has also now eclipsed the 100-yard mark in consecutive games for the first time in 2023 heading into a Week 8 road divisional clash with the Broncos.

  • Darren Waller TE | CAR

    Giants' Darren Waller: Best performance of season Sunday

    Waller caught seven of eight targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Commanders.

    The tight end led the Giants in catches, receiving yards and targets on the day, and he scored his first TD of the season on a 15-yard grab from Tyrod Taylor in the second quarter. Waller's role in the offense is growing, and he's posted a 20-227-1 line on 26 targets over the last three games while working with two different QBs. If Daniel Jones (neck) returns to the lineup in Week 8 against the Jets, it won't have an impact on Waller's fantasy upside.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Questionable to return

    Musgrave is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Broncos due to an ankle injury.

    Musgrave took a helmet-to-helmet hit before exiting the game, but it looks like the main concern is due to his ankle. The rookie tight end had four receptions on five targets for 30 yards before exiting.

  • Logan Thomas TE | SF

    Commanders' Logan Thomas: Four grabs in Sunday's loss

    Thomas caught four of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants.

    The tight end produced his second-highest yardage total of the season on a day when Sam Howell was once again facing near-constant pressure. Thomas has been able to stay mostly healthy so far in 2023, missing only one game, and as a result he's on pace for his best season since his breakout 2020 campaign.

  • Gerald Everett TE | CHI

    Chargers' Gerald Everett: Suffers quad injury

    Everett exited Sunday's contest at Kansas City due to a quadriceps injury, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Prior to his departure early in the fourth quarter, Everett hauled in three of four targets for 26 yards and one touchdown. Because Tre' McKitty was a healthy scratch Sunday, Donald Parham and Stone Smartt are the Chargers' healthy and available tight ends.

  • Dalton Kincaid TE | BUF

    Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Breakout game in Week 7 loss

    Kincaid (concussion) caught all eight of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Patriots.

    In his return from a one-game absence, Kincaid led the Bills in catches and receiving yards while finishing four targets behind Stefon Diggs' team-high total. This was easily the best game of the 2023 first-round pick's young career, as Kincaid's previous highs were five catches and 43 yards. Kincaid has 25 catches to Dawson Knox's 15 heading into Thursday's Week 8 game against the Buccaneers, but Knox continues to take priority in the red zone while Kincaid has yet to find the end zone in his young career. Knox had a would-be touchdown erased by a penalty in the first quarter and caught a two-point conversion in the fourth.

  • Mark Andrews TE | BAL

    Ravens' Mark Andrews: Pair of touchdowns against Lions

    Andrews recorded four receptions on six targets for 63 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Lions.

    Andrews played his part in Baltimore's blowout win, catching touchdowns of eight and 11 yards, while chipping in a long gain of 22 yards. It was his second multi-touchdown performance of the season, and he now has five overall. As expected, Andrews has remained a focal point of the Ravens' offense, as he now has at least four catches in every game and at least 60 yards in each of his last four contests.

  • David Wells TE | TB

    Buccaneers' David Wells: Inactive again

    Wells (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    A healthy inactive for the second week in a row, Wells appears to have been surpassed by Payne Durham as Tampa Bay's No. 3 tight end. While playing limited snaps in each of the Buccaneers' first four games, Wells recorded two receptions for minus-10 yards.

  • James Mitchell TE | CAR

    Lions' James Mitchell: Cleared for Week 7

    Mitchell (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.

    Mitchell missed back-to-back games due to a hamstring injury, but he'll return to action versus Baltimore. The second-year tight end has played more special-teams snaps (31) than offensive snaps (25) this season and has yet to record a target.
