Kalinic reverted to the Colts' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Kalinic was activated for the third game in a row with top tight end Kylen Granson (illness) ruled inactive for the first time this season. However, the 25-year-old did not record a statistic and played just six offensive snaps behind fellow tight ends Jelani Woods (41) and Mo Alie-Cox (22). Kalinic will now require a permanent spot on the active roster to continue suiting up on game days for Indianapolis this season.

Alie-Cox had two receptions for 14 yards on three targets in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.

Alie-Cox got the start at tight end and played 22 snaps on offense, but was outperformed by rookie Jelani Woods, who had eight receptions for 98 yards on 39 snaps. It's possible Woods takes over as the primary tight end target after this breakout game, but all three Colts tight ends have had their moments this season, including Kylen Granson, who was out Monday with an illness. Alie-Cox isn't a dependable fantasy asset and isn't even getting many red zone looks despite his size -- he's 6-5, but Woods is 6-7.

Farrell played 10 of his 11 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens.

Jacksonville kept four tight ends active Week 12, but Farrell and Dan Arnold (three snaps on offense) ranked far behind starter Evan Engram (51 snaps) and top backup Chris Manhertz (20 snaps) in terms of usage. Even if an injury to Engram or Manhertz opens up more playing time at tight end, Arnold is a better bet than Farrell to contribute as a pass catcher.

Arnold played three of the Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and wasn't targeted in the team's 28-27 win over the Ravens on Sunday.

Arnold went without a target for the first time since Week 6 and tied his lowest snap count of the season. He remains behind Evan Engram and Chris Manhertz on the depth chart at tight end and appears unlikely to see his role expand over the final six weeks of the campaign.

Turner played 20 of the Commanders' 60 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Washington's 19-13 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

With Armani Rogers (knee) moving to injured reserve Nov. 19, Turner has been able to dress as the Commanders' No. 3 tight end for both of the team's last two games. He's picked up a target in both contests, but he's unlikely to see his role expand much in the stretch run of the season while both Logan Thomas and John Bates are available.

Morris (illness) didn't practice Tuesday.

Morris has missed the first two practices of Week 13 prep and was sidelined for Sunday's unofficial session due to an illness. He'll have only one more chance to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against New England.

Rader wasn't targeted across five snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound tight end has seen action in eight games this season and has logged 79 snaps on offense but has yet to draw a single target. He'll continue to be deployed primarily as a blocker whenever he's on the field.

Swaim failed to corral his lone target while playing 31 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Bengals.

With rookie Chigoziem Okonkwo and top tight end Austin Hooper having both taken on heightened roles in the Tennessee passing attack of late, Swaim has functioned mainly as a blocker in recent weeks. After drawing seven targets across the Titans' first three games of the season, Swaim has been targeted a combined five times in Tennessee's subsequent eight contests. The lack of involvement isn't the result of any major downturn in playing time, either; Swaim has logged snap shares above 50 percent in each of those eight games.

McKitty did not see a single target during Sunday's 25-24 win against the Cardinals.

Gerald Everett (groin) returned to the lineup after missing last week's game, relegating McKitty to his role as blocking specialist. With Everett and Keenan Allen (hamstring) now healthy, along with Mike Williams (ankle) potentially returning soon, McKitty should continue to struggle with getting targets, and he doesn't have much fantasy value except in the deepest of leagues.

Myarick was targeted once and recorded a 23-yard reception in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Myarick, who dabbles between both fullback and tight end, produced a season-long gain on his lone target of the day. He's rarely featured in the Giants' passing game, having turned in a 7-65-1 receiving line on eight targets while appearing in all 11 of the team's contests to date.
