Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Irv Smith Jr.

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.

The Houston Texans signed free-agent tight end Irv Smith and former starting center Scott Quessenberry to their practice squad on Tuesday following successful tryouts, according to league sources. Smith, a former second-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings out of Alabama, will give Houston more depth at the TE position behind Dalton Schultz, Brevin Jordan and rookie Cade Stover. He has 109 career receptions for 973 yards and 10 touchdowns in his career with the Vikings, Bengals and Chiefs, but injuries have really held him back from reaching his true ceiling. Texans center Juice Scruggs (groin), who missed the Week 2 win over the Bears on Sunday night, is on track to return this week against the Vikings, but Quessenberry will give the team more depth at the position. Quessenberry started for Houston two seasons ago when Justin Britt stepped away for personal reasons.
