Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Sunday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that is likely to keep him out for a couple of weeks, according to sources. Injured Reserve isn't considered likely for Dissly right now, which is good, because an IR placement would require him to miss the final four weeks of the regular season. In his first season with the Bolts, he's been productive for LA with 43 receptions, 418 receiving yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder on the final play before halftime on Sunday night and was unable to return. He'll at least be out this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and could miss the Thursday night game in Week 16 against the division-rival Denver Broncos as well. Stone Smartt, who had a season-high 54 yards on Sunday night, will take over as the starter and will be worth a look as a TE2 streamer in fantasy.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was forced to leave the game in Week 14 after getting hurt on the last play before halftime. Dissly caught two passes on two targets, totaling 19 yards before being forced to leave. Tight end Stone Smartt came in to take Dissly's place after halftime and picked up 54 yards on three catches. Dissly will be questionable at best for Week 15 against Tampa Bay, but as long as he's healthy enough to suit up, he should remain a high-floor mid-ceiling fantasy tight end option.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Sunday night divisional showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs and is questionable to return for the second half. Dissly hurt himself on the final play of the first half on a 15-yard reception. The 28-year-old caught both of his targets in a slow offensive first half for the Bolts for 19 receiving yards. The Chargers are also without rookie receiver Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) for this one, so quarterback Justin Herbert is running thin on aerial weapons if Dissly doesn't return to this contest. If Dissly is unable to return to action on Sunday night in KC, Stone Smartt will likely benefit the most at the position, with Tucker Fisk also potentially getting on the field more often. To begin the fourth quarter, Smart has also caught both of his targets for 45 yards.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly is set up for a strong comeback game in a Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Dissly put up a whole entire zero points last week, but he'd been a solid and consistent tight end option for several weeks in a row before that. The best bet is likely to chalk up the zero as a fluke and trust Dissly for another solid week of production, especially against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Dissly is right on the TE1/2 border, with a high floor (despite last week's zero) and a decently high ceiling. Both floor and ceiling go up significantly if Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) is unable to play.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly put up a zero in a Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Dissly was on the injury report earlier in the week with a groin injury, but he practiced in full on Friday and came into the game with no injury designation. Still, he ended up with only one target thrown his way and was unable to make a catch on the play. The shutout was unexpected, as Dissly has been a high-floor tight end option most of the season, but the Chargers passing game went almost exclusively through Ladd McConkey. McConkey made nine catches while no one else on the Chargers made more than two. It was likely an anomaly, and as long as he's healthy, Dissly should return to his solid, reliable production next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Dec 1, 2024 6:07 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (groin) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and cleared to play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Dissly has delivered solid production over the last six weeks, catching 28 passes for 288 yards and one touchdown during that span. Since Week 7, he ranks as the overall TE12 in PPR leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him as a fringe top-12 option this week against the Falcons, who have been near the middle of the road with the 14th-most fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends in 2024.
Nov 30, 2024 9:07 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (groin) upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Thursday. He had been a non-participant Wednesday. Dissly has played quite well lately, catching 13 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown over his last three games. Fantasy managers invested in Dissly's status should check back on Friday to see if he ends up with any sort of injury designation. At the very least, he's trending in the right direction and ranks as a mid-to-high fantasy TE2 for the time being.
Nov 28, 2024 3:44 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (knee) did not practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. The tight end did not show any sign of this injury on Monday evening as he was deployed as the clear TE1 in the Los Angeles offense. In this game, Dissly brought in all four of his targets for 47 yards. Since Week 7, Dissly has begun to see a drastic increase in targets as he has averaged 6.2 per game during this span which is an increase compared to the 3.0 he saw per game during the first six games of the season. Over his past three games, Dissly has caught at least four passes in each game and averaged 11.6 PPR points per game. If Dissly can suit up this weekend, fantasy managers should view him as a low-end TE1 facing the Atlanta Falcons.
Nov 27, 2024 5:49 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly made four catches in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Playing on Monday Night Football, Dissly was targeted four times, making the four catches for 47 yards. The Chargers ended up only completing 21 passes in this one, so Dissly was pretty heavily involved despite only the four grabs. He's been a key part of the Bolts offense since the bye week and should continue in that role in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. He's a high-floor, low-ceiling type of tight end who is best rostered in 2TE leagues.
Nov 26, 2024 12:04 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly is set for a strong performance in a Week 12 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Dissly has been the overall fantasy TE15 since Week 6, and has finished in the TE1 rankings twice in that span. He's coming off an overall TE5 finish last week, and could see even more targets thrown his way with Hayden Hurst (hip) ruled out. The Ravens defense has been very kind to opposing tight ends, allowing the fourth-most receiving yards per game to the position. Dissly had been piling on the targets and catches lately, and in Week 11 he came up with his first touchdown of the season. Another one is far from unlikely in Week 12, making him a lower-end TE1 option with some upside in what should be a high-scoring contest.
Nov 23, 2024 10:02 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly scored a touchdown in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Dissly was targeted six times and made four catches for 80 yards. His touchdown came on a 29-yard pass from Justin Herbert near the end of the first quarter. Dissly has become much more heavily involved in the passing game lately, and he's quickly working his way into the lower-end TE1 conversation. He and the Bolts will take on the Baltimore Ravens next week on Monday Night Football.
Nov 18, 2024 1:19 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly has an outstanding matchup in a Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Dissly has seen at least five targets in four of the past five games, and has totaled 32 targets and 24 catches in that span. He's become a key part of the short passing game, and against defenses like Cincinnati's, Dissly leads the team in first-read share and is second in yards per route run. The Bengals defense has allowed opposing tight ends to thrive, giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to the position. It should be a high floor game for Dissly at worst, with one of his higher possible ceilings of the season.
Nov 16, 2024 1:23 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly led the team in catches and targets in a Week 10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Dissly made five catches on six targets for a total of 30 yards. Quarterback Justin Herbert only attempted 18 passes, completing 14 of them. Dissly returned to a heavily involved role in the passing game after a down game last week. He may continue with similar involvement going forward, but he's very much just a floor play without much of a ceiling. The Bolts will take on the Bengals in Week 11 for a Sunday Night Football contest.
Nov 11, 2024 12:54 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly is unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact in a Week 10 game against the Tennessee Titans. Dissly was heavily involved in the Chargers passing game between Weeks 6 and 8, drawing 23 targets across the three games, but that was mostly due to other Chargers pass catchers missing time with injuries. In Week 9, with several pass catchers returning, Dissly saw just three targets and made two catches for a total of nine yards. He has yet to score a touchdown this season and shouldn't be relied upon as anything more than a non-zero floor tight end option. Most leagues will likely have at least one higher upside option on the waiver wire for this week.
Nov 8, 2024 2:24 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) only made two catches in a Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Dissly has been dealing with a shoulder injury but came into the game without an official injury designation. He'd been very heavily involved in the passing game over the past three games, but with Quentin Johnston returning from an ankle injury, Dissly again faded into a support role at best. He was targeted just three times, making his two catches for nine yards total. Dissly could have some touchdown-dependent value in fantasy leagues going forward, but his brief stint as a TE1 is likely over.
Nov 3, 2024 6:47 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) is a potential streaming option in deeper leagues in a Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns. Dissly has shot up the fantasy tight end ranks lately, seeing 23 targets thrown his way over the past three games after just 10 in total through the first four. Dissly has been able to pick up the slack a bit as other Chargers pass catchers have been forced to miss time and play hurt. This week, both Quentin Johnston (ankle) and D.J. Chark (groin) are expected to play, so Dissly's target share could go down somewhat, but he's clearly built some trust with quarterback Justin Herbert and should remain part of the game plan. Dissly has been dealing with a shoulder issue and missed practice on Wednesday but was able to return to a limited practice on Thursday and got in a full session on Friday. He enters the weekend without an injury designation and should be a solid TE2 option with a high floor.
Nov 1, 2024 3:36 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly made five catches in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Dissly remained heavily involved in the passing game, seeing seven targets thrown his way, tied for the team lead. His five catches gained 41 yards. That's now three games in a row of at least five targets for Dissly, who has developed a high floor as part of the Chargers passing game. He should continue as a solid but unexciting TE2 option in Week 9 as the Bolts travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns.
Oct 27, 2024 7:55 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Dissly did not participate during Wednesday's and Thursday's practice but returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity which is a promising sign for his status this weekend. Last weekend, the 28-year-old tight end saw a hefty 11 targets and was able to bring in eight of them for a season-high 81 yards. With wideouts Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey also listed as questionable, the Chargers may lean heavily on their rushing attack facing one of the worst rushing defenses in football. Fantasy managers should expect J.K. Dobbins to be heavily involved on Sunday and be viewed as a high-end RB2.
Oct 26, 2024 2:10 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was sidelined for the second straight day during practice. This is not good to see after Dissly's eight-catch performance in Week 7. Now, Dissly is in danger of missing Week 8 after back-to-back absences. If active, Dissly sneaks onto the TE2 radar against the New Orleans Saints. Otherwise, Hayden Hurst (groin) could be asked to take on a bigger role after he returned to practice on Thursday. However, Hurst hasn't done enough this season to earn the trust of fantasy managers.
Oct 24, 2024 9:49 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly led the Chargers in all receiving categories in a Week 7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Dissly was targeted 11 times, making eight catches for 81 yards. Those numbers were all good for first place in each category, as the next most targeted Charger (Ladd McConkey) saw seven balls thrown his way, making five catches. Dissly had made 13 catches all season entering this game, but he saw heavy targets as the Chargers tried to not rely on their running game for the first real time this season (it didn't work). Despite not scoring a touchdown, this might end up being Dissly's best fantasy performance of the season. Chasing points with him in Week 8 against the Saints is not likely a recommended strategy.
