Rams | Higbee catches 8 passes for 62 yards, a touchdown in loss to Broncos Mon Sep 28, 12:01 AM
Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee caught 8 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 1.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.2.

Rams | Ferguson held to 1 catch for 9 yards in loss to Broncos Mon Sep 28, 12:01 AM
Los Angeles Rams TE Terrance Ferguson caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson missed some time after injuring his ankle in the first quarter. He had been deemed questionable to return after heading to the locker room in the first quarter. He was X-rayed, and apparently the results were negative. Ferguson returned to action, but failed to make an impact. He'll continue to be an interesting streaming option -- at least until he demonstrates the kind of consistency that will make him a front-line fantasy asset. |

Saints | Johnson catches 8 passes for 53 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Raiders Sun Sep 27, 07:47 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught 8 passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns on 8 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 8.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.3.

Raiders | Bowers catches 10 passes for 116 yards, a touchdown in win over Saints Sun Sep 27, 07:47 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Sunday's 35-27 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.6.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders had managed to win their first two games without Bowers, but he was a difference-maker right from the start in his season debut. His seven catches for 87 yards in the first half helped fuel four scoring drives, giving Kirk Cousins a dependable connection and the Saints another problem to solve. And he kept adding to that production, showing how valuable his presence can be to an offense still discovering its potential. The Raiders play the Chiefs in Week 4. |

49ers | Kittle catches 6 passes for 82 yards, two touchdowns in win over Cardinals Sun Sep 27, 07:31 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle caught 6 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 36-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 11.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.2.
| Footballguys view: Just another day at the office for Kittle, who tore his Achilles only nine months ago. With Mike Evans hurt, the 49ers will need more from Kittle as a receiver, but with Trent Williams hurt, they will need more from him as a blocker. Either way, they need him, and you should be feeling great if you took Kittle despite the uncertainty about his Achilles during the offseason. |

Browns | Fannin catches 7 passes for 51 yards, two touchdowns in win over Panthers Sun Sep 27, 07:01 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin caught 7 passes for 51 yards and two touchdowns on 9 targets in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 7.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.6.

Giants | Likely held to 2 catches for 13 yards in win over Titans Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 13 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.3.
| Footballguys view: Likely started out the season two scores and the look of a player who would be one of the best picks this at his position. Since then, the Giants lost Jaxson Dart and the passing game has been poor with Jameis Winston at the helm. Likely is still a good fantasy play against the Cardinals, who just gave up two scores to George Kittle in Week 3. |

Bills | Kincaid held to 2 catches for 38 yards in win over Chargers Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 2 passes for 38 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 12.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.8.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid's push to be the top fantasy tight end this season ran into a brick wall against the Chargers. He fumbled on his long gain of the day and was otherwise a nonfactor. He is still a strong TE1 against the Patriots next week as this whole game seemed like an aberration for the Bills offense. |

Chargers | Gadsden held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Bills Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden was a dud even though he is the only healthy Chargers tight end. He can be dropped if you picked him up as a what-the-heck tight end for Week 3. |

Jets | Sadiq catches 7 passes for 105 yards, a touchdown in loss to Lions Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq caught 7 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 6.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq made a diving touchdown catch to open the scoring, and though he left the game briefly with an undisclosed injury, the rookie was a big part of the passing game for the rest of the contest with No.2 receiver Adonai Mitchell out with a finger injury for this game. Sadiq will be a hot waiver-wire pickup this week heading into a matchup with the Bears. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. scores second TD, 14-yarder from Watson gives Browns late lead Sun Sep 27, 04:09 PM
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from QB Deshaun Watson, giving Cleveland a 19-18 lead over the Panthers with 1:48 left on Sunday. Watson extended the play before finding Fannin. It was Fannin's second touchdown of the game after he caught a 2-yard score from Watson in the first half. He finished with seven catches for 51 yards on the day.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was an afterthought in an embarrassing Week 1 loss at Jacksonville, but he came alive for five catches last week and made the two biggest plays of the day for the Browns offense. He's back to being an every week fantasy TE1 going into a Thursday night game against Pittsburgh. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs scores three TDs in win over Jets Sun Sep 27, 04:05 PM
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs scored three touchdowns, two rushing and the go-ahead score with 2:25 left, and finished with 164 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets, giving him six touchdowns through three weeks.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs got the offense jumpstarted after early struggles with a long catch and run, and he was inevitable as the force that finished drives with touchdowns in the second half to help the Lions eke out another nerve-wracking home victory. The Lions offense hasn't been a dangerous downfield passing unit, but that hasn't stopped Gibbs from exceeding even the highest expectations through three weeks. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers (knee) expected to make season debut at Saints Sun Sep 27, 10:13 AM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 3 game at the Saints, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. Bowers, who underwent a meniscus trim just days before the season, logged limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday before a planned rest day on Friday, per head coach Klint Kubiak. The Raiders also did not elevate TE Chris Myarick from the practice squad, as they had in each of the past two weeks with Bowers inactive. TE Michael Mayer started in Bowers' place in the first two games.

Broncos | Payton: Evan Engram blocking 'well' Sat Sep 26, 12:19 AM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Friday that TE Evan Engram is blocking "well," which is part of the reason his snap count is up.
| Footballguys view: Payton is right. Engram has done a much better job in that department this season, and it's leading to more playing time. In his first season with the Broncos, Engram was only on the field for around 40 percent of their snaps. This year, that number is pushing towards 60 percent of the snaps. The Broncos are using a tight end by committee with Engram, Nate Adkins, and Adam Trautman. That lessens the fantasy value for Engram even though he's clearly getting more involved. We like him as a TE2 with upside. |

Jets | Adonai Mitchell (finger) questionable vs. Lions after second limited practice Fri Sep 25, 04:21 PM
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) is questionable for Sunday's Week 3 game at the Lions after being limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was unexpectedly added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant. He showed up on Friday with his hand heavily taped up. He reportedly had his finger caught in a jersey, and the extent of the injury is still uncertain. If the tape job we saw on Friday is any indication of his availability this week, it's hard to imagine Mitchell out there. If he can't play, Isaiah Williams could get some extra run against his former team, the Lions. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers (knee) questionable for Sunday, sat out Friday 'as planned' Fri Sep 25, 03:02 PM
Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Saints, head coach Klint Kubiak said on Friday. Bowers was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out as planned on Friday, according to Kubiak.
| Footballguys view: If there's one thing we've learned about Klint Kubiak in his young career as a head coach, it's that we cannot trust him. He's been optimistic about Bowers, but that must be taken with a grain of salt. Bowers returned to practice last week with a noticeable limp in his gait, and was ultimately inactive. He practiced in a limited fashion twice this week before missing Friday's practice. There's definitely a desire to elevate Bowers into lineups after missing him for the first few weeks, but the risk here is impossible to overlook, especially with a late kickoff. We'll hope for a positive report from Jay Glazer or Adam Schefter before the early games kick off, but Bowers is a huge risk without that. Fantasy managers with a good tight end might just want to play them early. Those without a strong secondary option should look on the waiver wire for Juwan Johnson, T.J. Hockenson, Mark Andrews, or Cade Otton as pivots with late kickoffs. |

Commanders | Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) 'unlikely to play' Sunday vs. Seattle Fri Sep 25, 11:01 AM
Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Seahawks, GM Adam Peters said on Friday, September 25.
| Footballguys view: The initial expectation when Okonkwo left Week 1's game with a hamstring injury was that he would miss some time. He still hasn't returned to practice. Assume he's out this week. The passing game should funnel through Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. No other tight end on the roster can bring what Okonkwo does to the offense, so they'll game plan around their receivers. |

Jets | Mason Taylor (thumb) ruled out for Sunday against Detroit Fri Sep 25, 11:01 AM
Jets TE Mason Taylor (thumb) will not play on Sunday against the Lions, head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday, September 25.
| Footballguys view: Taylor had negative two yards in Week 1. He was active in Week 2, but played less than half the snaps and didn't draw a single target. Taylor dealt with some injuries as a rookie and is getting off to a slow start in Year 2. He's off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues, and isn't much more than a deep dynasty stash right now. |

Falcons | Pitts held to 1 catch for 5 yards in win over Packers Thu Sep 24, 08:15 PM

Jets | Adonai Mitchell (finger) limited Thursday, Mason Taylor (thumb) out again Thu Sep 24, 05:07 PM
Jets WR Adonai Mitchell was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant due to a finger injury, his first appearance on the injury report for any reason this season. Mitchell has nine catches for 123 yards through two weeks. TE Mason Taylor (thumb), RB Kene Nwangwu (back), S Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad) all missed practice for the second straight day, while LBs Joseph Ossai (foot) and David Bailey (elbow) remained limited. Injury designations for Sunday's game at Detroit will be revealed on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was a full participant on Wednesday, and now he's getting a limited designation. Against the Lions on Sunday, Mitchell would be a WR3/flex option if he plays in Week 3. Mitchell caught 6-of-12 tarhets for 63 yards in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Packers. |

Titans | Tony Pollard (ankle) practices Thursday, Tyjae Spears not spotted again Thu Sep 24, 03:47 PM
Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) practiced on Thursday, September 24, after sitting out Wednesday's session, as Tennessee prepares for Sunday's game at the New York Giants. RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) was not spotted at practice on Thursday. TE Daniel Bellinger was also not spotted at practice, while CB Cor'Dale Flott (quad), who missed last Sunday's game, practiced again and said he thinks he is trending in the right direction.
| Footballguys view: Both Pollard and Spears missed Wednesday's practice, so at least Pollard is back out there on Thursday. While Spears may miss the game against the Giants (check back Friday to be sure), Pollard is trending in the right direction. Pollard is an RB3/deep flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 3. |

Bengals | Burrow 'sore' after Houston win as Iosivas heads to IR with torn thumb Wed Sep 23, 02:33 PM
Bengals.com reports that head coach Zac Taylor said Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow is sore after last Sunday's win in Houston and won't know his practice status until the team takes the field Wednesday afternoon. Taylor also confirmed that WR Andrei Iosivas is headed to injured reserve with torn thumb ligaments, saying, "It's a weeks' issue, not a season-long issue. It will definitely be the IR window, plus maybe a little bit more." Taylor said the team will replace Iosivas' production by committee, pointing to TE Mike Gesicki and the receiver room, while WR Ke'Shawn Williams, inactive the first two games, figures to be active against Pittsburgh. DT B.J. Hill (Achilles) is listed as wait-and-see after missing last Sunday's game.
| Footballguys view: The veteran quarterback played through a back issue in Week 2. Burrow completed 20-of-31 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns in Cincinnati's 20-6 Week 2 win over the Texans. He was sacked five times, and the Bengals might want to clean that up to keep their superstar quarterback upright. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers 'expected' to make season debut Sunday Wed Sep 23, 03:27 AM
Pro Football Talk reports that Raiders TE Brock Bowers is expected to make his season debut this Sunday. Bowers has not played since December 21, 2025.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders have been working towards a Bowers return, and we're likely to get it in Week 3 against the Saints. Bowers hasn't played yet this year, but he should be featured in the Klint Kubiak offense. He's a clear-cut TE1 for Fantasy GMs when on the field. |

Jets | Mason Taylor 'week-to-week' with thumb injury, could miss Week 3 Wed Sep 23, 03:21 AM
The New York Jets placed three players on injured reserve on Tuesday and may also be without TE Mason Taylor for their Week 3 game against the Lions in Detroit. Taylor is reportedly considered week-to-week with a thumb injury.
| Footballguys view: Taylor was a "DNP" on Wednesday. While leading the Jets' tight ends in snaps, rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq is leading the team in targets at the position. If Taylor can't go, Sadiq becomes a better option for Fantasy GMs looking for some TE production. |

Rams | Ferguson's snap count suggests he's staking claim to TE1 role Wed Sep 23, 03:21 AM
Yahoo Sports' Rams snap count review notes that second-year TE Terrance Ferguson is emerging as the Los Angeles Rams' top tight end. Ferguson caught 6-of-9 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Giants.
| Footballguys view: We saw Ferguson get more work for the Rams in Week 2 with WR Puka Nacua out of action. It's unclear whether or not Nacua will be able to play on Sunday night against the Broncos in Week 3. Ferguson could perform nicely, regardless of Nacua's status, due to the Broncos being historically weak against the tight end position. |

49ers | Shanahan: Robinson's high ankle sprain 'most likely an IR candidate' Tue Sep 22, 11:00 AM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday that WR Demarcus Robinson's high ankle sprain will 'most likely be an IR candidate,' noting such injuries typically require three to six weeks to heal.
| Footballguys view: Shanahan said that with Robinson potentially sidelined, wide receivers Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge could take on larger roles in the offense. "Pretty much all our guys who are up, we always mix them in on offense, but as you lose starters, those guys have to be able to do more and more," Shanahan said. While that sounds good, it doesn't make them viable fantasy plays. Instead, it might give you more optimism about the front-line players here, like Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Mike Evans (if available this week). |

Eagles | Eagles bring back Zach Ertz to practice squad after Goedert's MCL sprain Mon Sep 21, 07:01 PM
Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports reports that Eagles TE Zach Ertz is rejoining Philadelphia's practice squad with the expectation that he will play in the team's upcoming game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: The move comes after Eagles TE Dallas Goedert sprained his MCL during Sunday's win over the Titans and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Ertz, 36, last played for the Eagles in 2021 and spent last season with the Commanders before tearing his ACL in Week 14, catching 50 passes for 504 yards and four touchdowns prior to the injury. |

Chargers.com reports that Head Coach Jim Harbaugh announced on Monday that TEs David Njoku and Charlie Kolar are both headed to Injured Reserve after injuries suffered in Sunday's game against the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh said Njoku suffered a fibula injury and Kolar has a forearm injury, meaning each must miss a minimum of four games. The moves leave TE Oronde Gadsden as the only tight end on the Chargers' active roster, with Harbaugh saying, "A lot of confidence in Oronde's game... so many things that he does well." Harbaugh added the team is exploring additions to the tight end room. |

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said TE Brock Bowers was "close -- very close" to playing in Week 2 after undergoing a recent knee procedure.
| Footballguys view: Kubiak said Bowers went through an on-field, pregame workout before Sunday's game and "looked great," but he was ultimately ruled out. Last season, Bowers caught 64 passes for 680 yards with seven touchdowns in 12 games; through two games this year, TE Michael Mayer has started in his place, catching nine passes for 55 yards. The Raiders play the Saints in Week 3. |

With 25.1 fantasy points, Kelce was the TE2 overall through Sunday night. The Chiefs face the Dolphins in Week 3. Kelce is a locked in starter for that one. |

| Footballguys view: Starting in place of injured QB Sam Darnold, QB Drew Lock completed 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 139.1 passer rating. RB Emanuel Wilson led Seattle's rushing attack with 21 carries for 91 yards, while RB Jadarian Price added 52 yards on 13 carries before exiting with a chest injury.

Chargers | TE David Njoku sidelined by a knee injury Sun Sep 20, 06:17 PM
Chargers TE David Njoku (knee) was injured in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Raiders. He did not return.
| Footballguys view: With Njoku and starter Charlie Kolar (forearm) sidelined, Oronde Gadsden II was the primary tight end for the Bolts. He immediately made an impact against the Raiders, posting a touchdown in the third quarter. If Njoku is forced to miss time, Gadsden's fantasy appeal will rise. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert injury: Eagles tight end questionable to return Sun Sep 20, 02:06 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a knee injury in the first half against the Titans in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Unlike Saquon Barkley, Goedert did not return to the game. After putting up a two-touchdown game in Week 1, Goedert was an attractive play in Week 2 against the struggling Titans defense, but was a zonk instead. Johnny Mundt is the backup, and the Eagles could also look to first round pick Makai Lemon to play a bigger role in the passing game for any games Goedert misses. |

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft caught 2 passes for 15 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 20-17 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 9.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.5.
| Footballguys view: Kraft didn't do much even though Jayden Reed left the game on the first drive. He should be set up for a bounce back game on Thursday against the woeful Falcons defense that just gave up two scores to Darren Waller. |

Bears | Loveland held to 1 catch for 3 yards in loss to Vikings Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland caught 1 pass for 3 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 9.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.8.
| Footballguys view: Exactly zero fantasy analysts were saying to sell Loveland last week, but that would have been the smart move. He's going to be a low ceiling play until Caleb Williams comes back from his hamstring injury, but you can't drop him. |
Colston Loveland player page
Texans | Schultz catches 12 passes for 140 yards in loss to Bengals Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught 12 passes for 140 yards on 14 targets in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 8.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Schultz was a week winner if you plugged him in because Nico Collins was out with a hamstring injury. The Texans lost despite his production because of numerous mistakes on offense and a very improved Bengals defense. Collins is on the doubtful side of questionable for Week 3, so Schultz will be probably be a good play against the Colts in Week 3. |

Panthers | Waller catches 3 passes for 33 yards, two touchdowns in win over Falcons Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller caught 3 passes for 33 yards and two touchdowns on 3 targets in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 2.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.8.
| Footballguys view: Waller's big frame was hard for Bryce Young to resist in the red zone. Waller had another touchdown called back in Week 1 (on his birthday!), so this wasn't a fluke. Waller is going to be worth a waiver wire pickup with many tight ends struggling through the first two weeks. |

Raiders | Bowers doubtful again, Raiders elevate TE Chris Myarick for depth Sat Sep 19, 04:08 PM
Pro Football Talk reports that Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers was not officially ruled out on Friday, but signs point to him missing his second straight game on Sunday. The Raiders elevated TE Chris Myarick from the practice squad to provide depth at the position while Bowers' status remains in question.
| Footballguys view: Bowers returned to practice on Friday, and it's likely he needs another week to recover from his knee injury. With Bowers doubtful, it looks like Michael Mayer will get the start and should be considered a low-end TE1 in Week 2. |

Commanders | TE Chig Okonkwo ruled out for Week 2 Sat Sep 19, 02:15 AM
Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) is listed as out on the Week 2 injury report. Okonkwo did not participate in Saturday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Okonkwo didn't practice this week, so it's not a surprise he's missing Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Fantasy GMs will look elsewhere for help at the position. The Commanders will now turn to guys like John Bates and Ben Sinnott in Okonkwo's absence. |

49ers | TE George Kittle returns to full practice Sat Sep 19, 02:15 AM
49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) was a full participant in Saturday's practice after being limited in an earlier session this week.
| Footballguys view: Kittle is a TE1 for Fantasy GMs against the Dolphins this week, even after a dud in Week 1. He turned five targets into two catches for 12 yards in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Rams. Kittle played about 46 percent of the team's snaps in Week 1, and we expect him to get an uptick in playing time as he continues to work back from the Achilles injury he suffered in January. |

49ers | George Kittle will be on field this week Tue Sep 1, 12:08 AM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) will be eased back into practice over the next few days, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Kittle's return to team drills comes a day after ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Kittle was expected to practice this week. Schefter reported that Kittle hasn't had any setbacks in his recovery and that he has a legitimate chance to play against the Rams to open San Francisco's 2026 season. The 49ers will practice the next three days before traveling to Melbourne to resume preparations for the opener. Shanahan said it wasn't necessary to know if Kittle will play before leaving, but that it wouldn't be a bad thing. We'll be watching for more. |
