Kelce finished with six receptions on nine targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jets.

The buzz surrounding Kelce and new acquaintance Taylor Swift carried over to Week 5 with the pop star in attendance for Sunday's matchup. Unfortunately for Kelce's fantasy managers, he was unable to recreate last week's touchdown grab. Patrick Mahomes was not in sync with his top receiving option on a couple of miscues, one of which resulted in an interception. Kelce still produced a respectable receiving line while finishing as Mahomes' most-targeted receiver. Kansas City's superstar duo will look to get back on track in a favorable matchup against Minnesota next Sunday.

Kincaid brought in four of five targets for 27 yards in the Bills' 48-20 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

The rookie finished second in receptions and targets to Stefon Diggs on the afternoon for the Bills, and he outpaced position mate Dawson Knox by three catches and targets apiece. Kincaid has seemingly already developed into Josh Allen's preferred pass-catching option at tight end, as he now has 15 receptions for 99 yards on 17 targets, while teammate Dawson Knox has a more modest eight catches for 58 yards and one touchdown on 13 targets. Kincaid's next opportunity to build on an encouraging start to his career comes in a Week 5 matchup versus the Jaguars in London.

Otton brought in three of four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 26-9 win over the Saints on Sunday.

The second-year tight end worked himself free for his first touchdown of the season, a four-yard grab in traffic just past the midway point of the second quarter. Otton has mostly been a complementary option in the air attack as expected -- he's recorded three receptions or fewer in three of four games -- but he could enjoy a larger role in a Week 6 matchup against the Lions following a Week 5 bye if No. 1 wideout Mike Evans is unable to suit up due to the hamstring injury that caused his early exit Sunday.

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.
