TE Studs

Tyler Eifert-Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals big comeback was led by their big tight end who caught a pair of touchdowns while hauling in eight of his 12 targets for a total of 90 yards. He was one of just three tight ends to receive double-digit targets and the only one to score multiple touchdowns.

Gary Barnidge-Cleveland Browns: The most impressive catch for a tight end was Barnidge’s catch off his feet of the Browns go-ahead score.  He finished with eight catches for 139 yards and a touchdown putting up his third huge week with Josh McCown under center.

Rob Gronkowski-New England Patriots: Gronk didn’t find the end zone, but he bulldozed the Cowboys like he typically does and finished with 67 yards on his four catches. Not a bad day compared to typical tight end production but not a monster day by his own lofty standards.
