Dissly caught two of three targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.

Dissly recorded a 68 percent snap share, out-snapping Gerald Everett (61 percent) for the first time since Week 6. It's unclear if this will be the standard moving forward, but the Seahawks will likely lean on Everett more in negative game scripts. Dissly maintains limited fantasy appeal with 19 receptions for 220 yards and a touchdown through 13 games.

Everett caught both of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 13 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.

Everett (35 snaps) was out-snapped by Will Dissly (39) for the first time since Week 6. Although the Seahawks won by 20 points, the game wasn't actually put away until the fourth quarter, so perhaps Everett saw fewer reps after losing two fumbles in the Week 13 win over the 49ers. Nevertheless, he scored for the third time this season. Everett will continue to be a touchdown-dependant fantasy option against the Rams -- his former team -- next week.

Akins caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 33-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Akins was active for the first time since Week 9, but it did not represent a return to prominence at tight end. He played just 12 snaps, fourth among the five tight ends active for the game. Houston has turned its focus to the development of rookie Brevin Jordan, who caught a touchdown pass and was targeted seven times, so fantasy speculators can forget about Akins.

Brown was not targeted in Sunday's 33-13 loss to Seattle.

Brown was once again Houston's playing time leader at tight end with 52 snaps, more than Antony Auclair (22) and Brevin Jordan (29) combined, but it did not translate into meaningful fantasy production. The Texans rolled with five tight ends for the game, including former regular Jordan Akins and converted quarterback Jeff Driskel, which makes it hard to pinpoint any single option.

Graham caught two passes for nine yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Graham continues to operate behind Cole Kmet in the pecking order for tight-end targets in the Bears offense, and although he's scored twice over his last three games, Graham's average of 15 yards per game makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Kmet caught three passes on five targets for 17 yards in the Bears' 45-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Despite the Bears scoring 30 points, the Packers bottled up each of the Bears' primary weapons, including Kmet, who was held to fewer than 20 yards for just the second time since Week 4. With at least three receptions in seven of his last eight games, his value is elevated in PPR formats.

Pruitt recorded one reception on three targets for five yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

Pruitt finished third among Tennessee's tight ends with three targets, though that was his highest total since Week 7. While Ryan Tannehill regularly targets his tight ends, Pruitt has recorded multiple receptions in a game only three times this season.

Swaim recorded three receptions on four targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over Jacksonville.

Swaim finished third on the team with only four targets, but he managed to lead all Titans receivers in yardage. He also logged the team's longest gain of the day -- a 24-yard reception partway through the third quarter -- that helped him top 30 receiving yards for the first time this season. Despite a relatively consistent role in Tennessee's offense across his last five games, Swaim is dependent on touchdowns to rack up viable fantasy production.

Firkser recorded four receptions on five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over Jacksonville.

Firkser saw the majority of his production come within a two-drive span in the second quarter during which he recorded three receptions for 24 yards. Firkser has now seen his involvement in the Tennessee offense spike in two of the last three games, with a combined nine receptions for 60 yards. However, he's still recorded only one reception in six of his last eight contests, which makes him a difficult option to trust for consistent production.

Moreau recorded three receptions on six targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.

Moreau earned his second consecutive start with Darren Waller (knee) sidelined. Though he improved on the one-target performance from Week 13, Moreau was limited to only short gains on his trio of catches. In two games in Waller's absence, Moreau has failed to make an impact by logging a combined four receptions for 47 yards.
