Mabry was signed to the Seahawks' active roster from the practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Mabry was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, and he ended up reeling in the first catch of his NFL career, a seven-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The 26-year-old once again will provide an additional depth option behind Noah Fant at tight end in Week 18 with Will Dissly (knee) unavailable for the final contest of the regular season. If Seattle is able to sneak into the postseason, Mabry could find himself a part of the active roster past this weekend.

Thomas caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers.

Thomas was a non-factor in the contest while playing 36 of the Panthers' 66 offensive snaps. Fellow tight end Tommy Tremble played two more snaps than Thomas and was more productive, catching all three of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown. In a near-even split of playing time with Tremble, Thomas offers little in the way of fantasy production. The 26-year-old will look to make the most of his limited opportunities on offense in a Week 18 matchup with the Saints.

Otton caught two of six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.

Otton played 68 of the Buccaneers' 78 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Tampa Bay pass catcher. Despite seeing the field for all but 10 snaps, the rookie tight end failed to produce a fantasy-friendly line. Assuming his steady usage continues, Otton will look to have a bounce-back performance Week 18, when the Buccaneers visit the Falcons to close out the regular season.

Alie-Cox failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Giants.

Alie-Cox was a complete nonfactor Sunday while playing 31 of the Colts' 58 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie tight end Jelani Woods was on the field for 35 snaps and saw four targets. The veteran continues to see his opportunities shrink with the emergence of Woods on offense. Despite his limited usage, Alie-Cox will look to bounce back when the Colts host the Texans in Week 18.

Saubert caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Saubert operated as Denver's No. 2 tight end Sunday behind Albert Okwuegbunam. The 28-year-old played 24 of the Broncos' 70 offensive snaps, while Okwuegbunam played 37 snaps. In 16 games played this season, Saubert has caught 15 of 24 targets for 148 yards, all of which are career-highs. The 6-foot-5, 253-pounder should remain far off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers.

The Packers signed Allen to their practice squad Tuesday, per the team's official site.

Following Tuesday's transaction, the 6-foot-9, 255-pounder will now serve as an emergency depth option to Green Bay's tight end corps. Allen, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Nebraska, last played for the Giants' practice squad before being let go in October.

Parham caught his only target for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Rams.

Sunday marked the first touchdown for Parham this season. It's been a bit surprising to see the 6-foot-8 behemoth not used more in the red zone, but that's likely a credit to the sheer dominance of running back Austin Ekeler, who tallied another red-zone score in the aforementioned win. Parham once again saw 20-plus offensive snaps, marking the third straight week the tight end saw a relevant role since his return from injured reserve.

Mabry reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Mabry received an opportunity with the active roster for Sunday's game against the Jets, after Will Dissly (knee) was placed on IR. The 26-year-old made the most of his opportunity, catching his only target for a seven-yard touchdown. Both the catch and touchdown were the first of his career. He'll likely have an opportunity to suit up Sunday against the Rams as well.

Myarick reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Myarick saw six snaps on offense and four on special teams in Sunday's win over the Colts, but he did not record any stats. The 27-year-old has played in all 16 contests for the Giants this season, but he was waived and re-signed to the team's practice squad last week. He'll work to earn the opportunity for another elevation Week 18 against the Eagles.

Okwuegbunam caught three of six targets for 45 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Okwuegbunam stepped into a 53 percent offensive snap share in the contest with rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on injured reserve. Sunday marked only the seventh game the veteran has appeared in this season, and his snap percentage was his highest since Week 2. Additionally, Okwuegbunam's touchdown was his first trip to the end zone of the 2022 campaign. After entering the season as a candidate to take a major step forward, the season has been one to forget for the 24-year-old. Okwuegbunam should enter a Week 18 matchup with the Chargers looking to end the year on a high note as Denver's de facto No. 1 tight end.
