Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Daniel Bellinger

Thursday, October 9, 12:53 AM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. Dissly was able to get a full week of practice in last week, but ultimately didn't suit up against Washington. He missed three straight games with the knee injury, but appears to be on the right track to play in Week 6. He'll likely serve as a depth piece behind rookie Oronde Gasden and Tyler Conklin.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is a desperation-level fantasy option for the Week 6 Thursday night tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite seeing increased usage last week. Bellinger led the team in receiving yards in Week 5 with four receptions on four targets for 52 yards, earning 7.2 fantasy points while playing a 52% snap share, an elevated role due to the offense utilizing more two-tight end sets following the Malik Nabers injury. This short-term value is severely limited by a brutal matchup against the Eagles, who rank as the 4th toughest defense against tight ends, allowing an average of only 7.82 fantasy points against the position. Given the Eagles' 3rd-best red zone defense (42.9% Defense Red Zone TD Rate) and Bellinger's low ceiling (zero touchdowns in 2025), he remains off the fantasy radar for all but the deepest leagues.
