Dissly (hip) did not participate in the Seahawks' first practice session of the week Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Dissly logged 16 offensive snaps and 13 special-teams snaps against the 49ers on Thanksgiving, and he may have hurt his hip in that contest. Seattle plays Dallas on Thursday Night Football this week, so Dissly will probably need to get back on the practice field in the next two days in order to have a chance of suiting up for that clash. Both Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson, who have been sharing tight-end snaps with Dissly this season, would stand to see a bit of an increased workload Thursday if Dissly can't suit up.

Kampmoyer reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday.

Kampmoyer played eight snaps on special teams and one offense Sunday night against the Ravens but was unable to register any stats. This was just the first the 25-year-old has played this season, and he is still eligible to be elevated two more times.

Hesse reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

Hesse appeared in a game for the first time since recovering from an undisclosed injury when he suited up versus the Saints in Week 12. The 28-year-old played 23 offensive snaps, the second most of any tight end on the team, but he didn't record any stats.

Thomas caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.

Thomas' reception was just his third this season and his first since Week 5. After an extended absence due to a calf injury, the veteran has returned for the past two games but holds most of his value as a blocker.

Stoll was targeted twice in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills, catching one pass for 14 yards.

Stoll continues to play a larger role in the absence of Dallas Goedert (forearm), but it's far from a fantasy-relevant one. In seven games without Goedert over the last two seasons, Stoll has averaged 1.3 catches per game, which is a small number but still more than four times as high as his 0.3 catches per game when Goedert is on the field. Goedert has a chance to return Week 13 against the 49ers, which would push Stoll even further from fantasy players' thoughts.

Smythe secured one of three targets for 10 yards during Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets.

Smythe has logged three consecutive games with three targets in each, but he's totaled just 55 receiving yards in that span. The starting tight end remains effectively off the fantasy radar except in deeper formats. The Dolphins will take on the Commanders on the road Week 13.

Alie-Cox had one reception for 30 yards on his lone target in Sunday's 27-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Alie-Cox broke wide open off a run fake on fourth down for a key first down late in the game. It was a rare showing in the passing game for Alie-Cox, who has just three receptions in his last six games. It's not likely to start a trend, as he's almost exclusively become a blocking tight end.

Granson failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Granson played on 31 of the offense's 73 snaps, which was second among Indianapolis tight ends (27 snaps for Will Mallory and 34 for Mo Alie-Cox). However, Mallory (two) and Alie-Cox (one) recorded receptions. No tight end in Indianapolis has much fantasy value given how rarely they are utilized in the passing offense and how the targets are often divided among three or four options. Granson has just one reception in his last three games.

Mallory started at tight end and had two receptions for 29 yards on three targets in Sunday's 27-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Mallory was a surprise starter since he's been inactive most weeks. He led the Indy tight ends in routes run (21 routes to Kylen Granson's 16 and Mo Alie-Cox's 13), though he was third at the position in scrimmage snaps (27 snaps to 34 for Alie-Cox and 31 for Granson). No tight end in Indianapolis has much fantasy value given how rarely they are utilized in the passing offense and how the targets are split three ways, but it's worth monitoring whether Mallory's increased usage is a trend.

Kolar wasn't targeted on 19 snaps in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

There was some debate in fantasy circles as to whether it would be Kolar or Isaiah Likely as the next man up following Mark Andrews' ankle injury. Likely appears to be emphatically ahead of Kolar as it stands, as the former played 73 percent of the snaps and recorded four receptions for 40 yards on six targets Sunday. Kolar has some utility as a blocker, and his collegiate production points to him having useful pass-catching ability, but Likely is clearly a hurdle to him getting on the mainstream fantasy radar. The Ravens will be on a bye before their Week 14 matchup with the Rams.
