It was a quiet week for tight ends, as is often the case. Travis Kelce lwas the clear top tight end play, as he was the only tight end to top 75 yards as he caught all nine of his targets for 124 yards. There were only five tight end touchdowns all week.
We did see some young tight ends take a step forward, as the Raiders Michael Mayer had his best game of his short career, catching five passes for 75 yards. And second-year TE Trey McBride out-snapped Zach Ertz, catching four passes for 62 yards.
