Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Dalton Schultz

Sunday, November 2, 11:36 AM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (illness) is inactive for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. This marks the fifth absence of the year for Dissly, who was a healthy scratch last week against the Minnesota Vikings. Oronde Gadsden II will continue to lead the position group as a mid-range TE1 in fantasy football while Tyler Conklin and Tucker Fisk occupy depth roles.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz corralled 3-of-4 targets for 22 yards in his team's 20-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. The veteran -- along with the rest of Houston's pass-catchers sans Nico Collins -- couldn't find much room to operate against the hosting Chiefs in Week 14. In spite of the aerial attack's poor performance, Schultz remained involved, placing second on the team in catches and third in yards and targets. Rookie Jayden Higgins' ascension caps the former's weekly upside, but there's still some PPR appeal here on a squad that ranks eleventh in overall pass rate (58.23%). Even with Sunday's lowly fantasy output, the 29-year-old had recorded at least five catches and six looks in eight of his last 11 appearances. He's a stable option ahead of Week 15's waivers.
