  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Quiet game in Week 4

    Goedert caught two of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's overtime win against Washington.

    Jalen Hurts tied his season high with 37 pass attempts, but 13 of those went to A.J. Brown and nine more went to DeVonta Smith, leaving little for Goedert to work with. The quiet Week 4 performance means Goedert now is averaging just 3.3 catches and 22.0 yards per game. He's also yet to score a touchdown. The sixth-year tight end will look to get his season going Sunday against the Rams.

  • Noah Fant TE | NO

    Seahawks' Noah Fant: Narrowly misses long TD

    Fant (knee) caught both of his targets for 63 yards in Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants.

    Fant finished as the Seahawks' leading receiver despite seeing just two targets Monday. The veteran did most of his damage on a short pass from backup Drew Lock that he took all the way down the sideline for what was initially ruled a 52-yard touchdown. Replay review revealed that Fant's knee was down prior to breaking the plane of the end zone, so Kenneth Walker finished the job with a touchdown from one yard out. The former Bronco has strung together three solid fantasy games after posting a bagel Week 1. Fant can provide value in deeper formats when he returns from Seattle's upcoming bye week, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect huge plays like Monday's on a regular basis.

  • Darren Waller TE | CAR

    Giants' Darren Waller: Another forgettable outing

    Waller caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.

    Waller was targeted on only one of Daniel Jones' 17 first-half passes. His second target didn't come until less than six minutes remained in the fourth quarter. For all the hype surrounding the Waller-Daniel Jones chemistry entering the season, the 31-year-old tight end may have lost a step, as he's reached 40 yards only once through four games with Big Blue and has yet to find the end zone heading into a Week 5 trip to Miami.

  • Jimmy Graham TE | NO

    Saints' Jimmy Graham: Nonfactor in starting role

    Graham notched zero targets during Sunday's 26-9 defeat versus the Buccaneers.

    Graham was the only tight end to log a snap for the Saints in Week 4, as Foster Moreau (ankle) was inactive while Juwan Johnson (calf) was ruled out shortly after kickoff Sunday. Graham wound up playing 65 percent of New Orleans' offensive snaps, though he still never saw any usage as a receiver. The 36-year-old has totaled just one target across four games so far this season, and it appears his fantasy value will be limited to the occasional red-zone target in the Saints' struggling offense.

  • Kevin Rader TE | NO

    Kevin Rader: Heads back to practice squad

    Rader reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday.

    Rader was able to get some additional snaps -- nine offensive and 13 on special teams -- when Josh Whyle was ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Bengals with an ankle injury. If Whyle is unable to go for Week 5 against the Colts, Rader would have a good chance of being elevated for the second time this season.

  • Titans' Chigoziem Okonkwo: Another three empty catches

    Okonkwo recorded three catches (on three targets) for 29 yards in Sunday's 27-3 win over the Bengals.

    Okonkwo has at least three receptions in each of his last three games, though he's managed to top 30 receiving yards only once in that span. The Titans offense will continue to run through Derrick Henry, and the passing attack will center around DeAndre Hopkins, which leaves limited production available for peripheral options such as Okonkwo.

  • Sean McKeon TE | IND

    Sean McKeon: Back to practice squad

    McKeon reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday.

    Mckeon played 18 of 70 offensive snaps Sunday against the Patriots while filling in for Peyton Hendershot (ankle). McKeon could return to the active roster in Week 5 against the 49ers if Hendershot is unable to suit up.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Expected to miss multiple games

    Freiermuth (hamstring) is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    After Freiermuth went down with a hamstring injury in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Texans, the tight end appears likely to miss multiple contests. The Steelers are already without wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) until at least Week 7 while he's on injured reserve, so players like George Pickens and Calvin Austin could see a slight uptick in usage next week versus Baltimore. Rookie tight end Darnell Washington will have an opportunity to serve as the team's starter for the time being.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Night comes to early end

    Bellinger (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest with the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Bellinger suffered the knee injury on the Giants' first possession of the night and will finish the game with one catch for six yards. More information on his status may be provided after Monday's game.

  • Giants' Daniel Bellinger: Exits with knee injury

    Bellinger suffered a knee injury and is questionable to return to Monday's contest with the Seahawks, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Bellinger went down with a knee injury in the first quarter, and his status now is uncertain for the remainder of the game. Lawrence Cager is the only tight end available behind starter Darren Waller for the time being.
