Arroyo is expected to miss time after exiting Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Broncos due to a shoulder injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The Seahawks are still looking to determine the extent of Arroyo's injury, but he appears likely to be sidelined for the team's Week 7 game against the Chiefs, and a stint on injured reserve could be a possibility. The second-year tight end has handled a light role on offense through the Seahawks' first six games of the season, registering a 17-yard reception on two targets.

Mayer brought in seven of nine targets for 95 yards in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Mayer set a new single-game career high in receiving yards while outpacing position mate Brock Bowers by 25 yards in the high-scoring loss. Mayer's reception total was a team high for Las Vegas on the afternoon and served as the fourth-year pro's second best of the season. There clearly appears to be consistent room for both athletic tight ends in head coach Klint Kubiak's offense, especially with the Raiders' receiving corps lacking some depth and experience behind Tre Tucker.

Pitts brought in five of seven targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 31-23 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Pitts led the Falcons in receptions and was second and third in targets and receiving yards, respectively. The veteran tight end helped fuel an Atlanta comeback in the fourth quarter with touchdown grabs of 10 and five yards, his second and third scoring catches in the last two games. Pitts has also now posted back-to-back five-catch tallies as a Week 7 home matchup against the 49ers approaches on Sunday.

Loveland brought in six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Loveland certainly had a productive afternoon overall, but it could have been even bigger had he and Caleb Williams been able to connect on a late second-quarter pass in the left portion of the end zone. Prior to that, the talented tight end recorded a 14-yard scoring grab in tight coverage with 8:15 remaining in the first quarter to put the first points of the day on the board. Loveland's put together a pair of six-catch efforts in the last three games that serve as his most useful of the season thus far, and he'll look to build on his 19-175-1 line on 30 targets in a Week 7 home matchup against the Patriots on Thursday night.

Fannin brought in one of three targets for nine yards in the Browns' 13-10 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Fannin was quiet for a second straight game while Jerry Jeudy surprisingly paced the Browns' air attack with a season-high 69 receiving yards. Fannin's production has been hard to trust during the first few weeks of the season, as he's recorded five or more catches just twice and three receptions and 27 receiving yards or less in his other four games. Fannin will look for a boost in his numbers during a Week 7 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

Bowers brought in four of nine targets for 70 yards in the Raiders' 33-30 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Bowers came on in the second half as the Raiders tried to mount a comeback, but he saw fellow tight end Michael Mayer outpace him by three receptions and 25 receiving yards on the same number of targets. Bowers' reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season lows, underscoring how significant his production had been over his first three games of the campaign. Bowers should be heavily involved again in a Week 7 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.

Ferguson caught two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday night's 23-13 loss to the Packers.

Ferguson matched his season low with two catches, and he has now been held to 23 or fewer yards in five of six contests to open the season. The tight end hasn't found the end zone since Week 3, and through six games, he's caught 17 of 24 targets for 115 yards and three scores. Ferguson reeled in a career-high 82 passes over 17 regular-season contests in 2025, and he has some work to do to return to that form in 2026.

Kraft caught five of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday night's 23-13 win over the Cowboys.

Kraft briefly exited the game in the second half but quickly returned after a visit to the medical tent. His eight targets tied Christian Watson for third on the team behind Matthew Golden's 13, and this Green Bay offense has settled on funneling its targets mostly through the two wideouts and tight end. Kraft has just one touchdown on the season and has failed to top 65 receiving yards in a game, while being held below 45 yards four times. The upside hasn't been there, but Kraft's position as an every-down tight end in an elite offense keeps him squarely in the TE1 conversation.

Otton caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers.

Otton ws targeted on just two of Jalon Daniels' 43 pass attempts, good for a lousy 4.7 percent share. The tight end has yet to catch a touchdown this season and has been held below 40 yards in five of six contests. He's a low-floor fantasy option at the position who is best left on waivers.

Sadiq caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Patriots.

Sadiq was able to clear concussion protocol during the week, but the rookie tight end has been playing through minor injuries all season. Since catching seven passes for 105 yards in Week 3 against the Lions, Sadiq has just three catches for 15 yards on 10 targets over the last three contests. He's become waiver-wire fodder in redraft leagues.
