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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Oct 22, 2024 12:30 AM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) could find himself fantasy relevant in a Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals. Dissly hasn't done a ton this season, totaling 13 catches for 111 yards. His best fantasy finish so far has been a TE18 finish in Week 2, but with several Chargers pass catchers including fellow tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) injured and not expected to play, Dissly could see more targets thrown his way by necessity. He's still not a TE1 option, but he should put up solid TE2 stats and has a decently high floor for his position.
Oct 19, 2024 8:20 PM EST
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly made three catches in a Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. Dissly was targeted three times, making all three catches for 29 yards. He ended up second on the team in both catches and receiving yards. The Chargers didn't throw much, completing just 14 passes on 20 drop backs, but Dissly should retain a similar role in the offense going forward. He'll be a floor-play TE2/3 without much upside but could come down with an occasional touchdown here and there.

The Los Angeles Chargers are signing former Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly to a three-year, $14 million deal with $10 million fully guaranteed in the first two years on Monday, according to a source. Veteran Gerald Everett is a free agent, so Dissly has a chance to come to LA in 2024 and play a meaningful role as both a pass-catcher and blocker in head coach Jim Harbaugh's first season in his return to the NFL. The 27-year-old Dissly was a former fourth-round selection in 2018 by Seattle out of Washington, and he caught 127 passes for 1,421 yards and 13 touchdowns in his six years with the Seahawks. Last year, Dissly had just 17 receptions for 172 yards and one score, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be much more than a touchdown-dependent tight end streamer in his new home with the Bolts.

The Seattle Seahawks are releasing tight end Will Dissly on Tuesday, according to a source. The move saves the Seahawks $7 million in cash on the 2024 salary cap. The 27-year-old has 13 career touchdowns in his six seasons in Seattle, but he wasn't much of a fantasy weapon while splitting snaps with Noah Fan the last couple years. In 16 games (14 starts) for the team this past season, Dissly caught just 17 passes on 22 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown. The former fourth-round selection by Seattle in 2018 out of Washington has never had more than 34 receptions, 349 yards or four touchdowns in a single season. Regardless of where he lands on the open market, Dissly is unlikely to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had 46 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. While Dissly was the one who scored, it was Colby Parkinson who saw the biggest increase in snaps after the early departure of Noah Fant (hand) due to injury. Both tight ends tied with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to lead the team in receptions with three apiece. In a season where Seattle's offensive line was often injured and struggling to hold their ground, the Seahawks rotated their tight ends frequently and utilized them as extra blockers more often than not. As such, the touchdown was Dissly was rarely involved in the passing game and his production in Week 18 leaves him with a final tally of 17 catches for 172 yards and one touchdown in 2023.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (hip) came into Thursday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys with a questionable tag, but he's officially active for the Week 13 contest and will play. The Seahawks haven't really involved their tight ends much this year, so Dissly can continue going ignored in fantasy lineups in this one. The 27-year-old has only 10 receptions for 108 yards and no touchdowns on the year in 10 games played. He hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 2 and is coming off a one-catch, 21-yard performance in last Thursday's blowout loss to the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Dissly has only 13 targets in the passing game all year long.
Nov 30, 2023 7:13 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (hip) was upgraded to a limited practice on Tuesday after he didn't practice on Monday. The veteran tight end injured his hip during his team's loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thanksgiving but he's trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. Dissly's ability to practice again on Wednesday will be a good sign as to his status heading into Thursday night.
Nov 28, 2023 9:28 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (hip) did not participate in practice on Monday while he deals with a hip issue. He was able to play in the team's last game against the 49ers on Thanksgiving, but he only saw around 27% of the offensive snaps. Fantasy managers who have some stock in Noah Fant may want to monitor Dissly's status because it could mean some more snaps for Fant in Week 13. Otherwise, Dissly doesn't move the needle either way.
Nov 27, 2023 9:58 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight ends Will Dissly (shoulder) and Noah Fant (knee) are both officially active for the Monday night contest against the New York Giants. Both Dissly and Fant came in with questionable designations, but they'll both suit up to close out Week 4 action. Dissly was held out of last week's win over the Carolina Panthers and will return to split the pass-catching workload with Fant. In his first two games, Dissly put up just five catches for 52 yards. Fant has recorded eight receptions for 97 yards in his three games played in 2023. The passing game in Seattle still runs through receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Metcalf, which makes both Dissly and Fant touchdown-dependent TE2 options in starting fantasy lineups.
Oct 2, 2023 7:25 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) carries a questionable tag ahead of Monday's encounter with the Giants. The 27-year-old, who has five catches for 52 yards this season, injured his shoulder in Week 2, keeping him out of the lineup in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. Under normal circumstances, Noah Fant (knee) would probably see a few additional looks from Geno Smith. However, Fant is also questionable, meaning third-string tight end Colby Parkinson might draw the start in week 4. That said, no matter who sits atop the depth chart, Fant, Dissly, or Parkinson haven't done enough to earn a spot in any fantasy lineup.
