FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.

It may not be obvious in the box score, but FitzPatrick was credited with his first career start Sunday, and he wound up playing 16 more snaps than fellow tight end Luke Musgrave, who was the presumptive top option at the position with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season. It remains to be seen how the playing time will be divided among the two -- as well as Josh Whyle, who scored in Week 11 -- moving forward, but none are particularly appealing fantasy options at this point.

Schultz (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.

Schultz has been dealing with a shoulder injury for nearly a month, but he's played in each of the Texans' last four games and made 21 catches on 31 targets for 205 yards and one touchdown. Considering his production hasn't tailed off with Davis Mills and not C.J. Stroud (concussion) under center the last two contests, Schultz remains a viable fantasy option ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Bills.

The Patriots signed Dippre from the practice squad Monday.

Dippre gives New England another healthy body at tight end with Austin Hooper still dealing with his concussion. Dippre has never appeared in a regular-season NFL contest.

Hawes wasn't targeted in the Bills' 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

With Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined, Dawson Knox played 77 percent of the offensive snaps and caught one of three targets for 23 yards. Hawes played 34 percent of the snaps on offense but failed to draw a target from Josh Allen. The fifth-round rookie tight end has eight catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets across 10 games this season.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said Kincaid (hamstring) will be listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Buffalo will host a walkthrough Monday, but Kincaid's hamstring injury will nonetheless keep him from participating in any capacity. That bodes poorly for the starting tight end's odds of gaining clearance in time for Thursday's road matchup against the Texans, especially given that he's been labeled "week-to-week" and has missed only one contest so far. Dawson Knox played 75 percent of the offensive snaps versus the Buccaneers in Week 11 with Kincaid sidelined, though he secured just one catch for 23 yards (on three targets).

Hockenson had three receptions for 39 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to Chicago.

There were some encouraging signs for Hockenson as the Vikings offense used him more in short routes over the middle that were lacking in quarterback J.J. McCarthy's previous starts. However, McCarthy and the passing game struggled overall, which limits Hockenson's upside. McCarthy was just 16-for-32 passing as he struggled with accuracy and had two interceptions.

Farrell was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 41-22 victory over Arizona.

Farrell was able to nab his second touchdown of the season against the Rams last week, but he reverted to his blocking role against the Cardinals on Sunday. The veteran backup logged 16 snaps on offense (29 percent) behind George Kittle's dominant 6-67-2 receiving line. Farrell's fantasy value is completely dependent on vulturing short touchdowns from Kittle, which keeps the former off the fantasy radar for Week 12.

Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.

It was presumed that Musgrave would be the Packers' tight end who benefited most from the absence of Tucker Kraft (knee), and he did in Week 10, leading all players at his position in snaps and receiving yardage. However, things took a sharp turn Sunday, as he not only finished second in both departments but third behind John FitzPatrick and Josh Whyle -- who both, unlike Musgrave, were credited with a Week 11 start. Roles are seemingly fluid in Green Bay's tight end room for the time being, but those counting on Musgrave in fantasy leagues should at the least be evaluating other options.

Bellinger didn't catch his only target in a Week 11 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

The Giants had a different look on offense Sunday with Mike Kafka taking over on an interim basis for former head coach Brian Daboll and with Jameis Winston stepping in at quarterback for the injured Jaxson Dart (concussion). Bellinger also dealt with a groin injury during the week, which may have also impacted his output Sunday. Ultimately, the fourth-year tight end finished without a catch for the third time through 10 contests on the campaign while logging a 47 percent offensive snap share. Theo Johnson remains the clear No. 1 tight end for the Giants, so Bellinger isn't a viable fantasy asset even when Dart is healthy.

Johnson corralled three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's Week 11 loss to Green Bay.

Johnson set career-high marks with seven catches for 75 yards the previous Sunday against Chicago, but he went back to something close to his usual level of production versus the Packers. That may have had something to do with a change at QB -- Jaxson Dart (concussion) didn't play, and the Giants elected to go with Jameis Winston rather than Russell Wilson behind center. Johnson's stat line Sunday was slightly better than his averages of 2.9 receptions for 26.6 yards over the first nine games of the campaign, and he seems to have built a decent weekly floor with at least three catches in seven of his past eight contests. Should Dart be able to return to action against Detroit on Sunday, Johnson's outlook would likely bump up a bit.
