Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Juwan Johnson

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.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson hauled in eight of nine targets for 89 yards in the Week 16 victory over the Jets. His eight receptions were his most since Week 1, and Johnson has maintained a steady role in the Saints' passing attack all season, recording either a touchdown or at least four catches in all but two games. With injuries across the offense and a growing connection with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, he should continue to see a healthy volume of targets. Johnson projects as a TE1 against a Titans defense that ranks middle of the pack against opposing tight ends.
