Who Should I Start? Eric Ebron or Will Dissly

Wednesday, December 4, 2:50 PM

Tight end Eric Ebron announced his official retirement from the NFL on Wednesday. Ebron was the 10th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions out of North Carolina. He played four seasons in Detroit, two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, and two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He last appeared in a game in 2021. Overall, Ebron accumulated 351 receptions on 561 targets for 3,837 receiving yards, and 33 receiving touchdowns (13 in 2018). He added three scores as a rusher.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly struggled his way through a rough loss in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans. Dissly was targeted five times, making two catches for 16 yards total. He dropped a pass while completely wide open and also was unable to catch a rather easy pass that he batted and turned into an interception instead. Dissly came on as a solid and reliable high-floor fantasy tight end in the second half of the season, but he was almost solely responsible for a 14-point swing in the most important game of the season for the Chargers. Dissly signed a three-year deal before the season, so he should be expected back with the Bolts, but they'll likely look for a more traditional pass-catching tight end either in free agency or in the draft.
