Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Kyle Pitts Sr.

Friday, September 26, 3:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants. Dissly recorded two catches for 25 yards through the first two weeks of 2025, but this will be his second-straight missed game due to a knee injury. In Dissly's absence, Chargers rookie tight end Orande Gadsden stepped up and hauled in five catches for 46 yards on seven targets in Week 3. Gadsden is tough to trust as a fantasy starter, but he's a name to monitor and could be a shrewd waiver-wire stash in deep leagues ahead of Week 4.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his best week of the season to date in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders, reeling in all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown, his first of the year. That now makes four straight weeks with at least five targets and at least four catches to begin the 2025 campaign, currently ranking as the ninth-highest scoring tight end in half-point PPR leagues. The former first-round draft pick's target share (18.5 percent) ranks second on the team behind only Drake London, and that is even the case if you only look at Weeks 2-4 when Darnell Mooney was on the field. It's almost a five percent increase in target share compared to his involvement last season, too. The Falcons have a bye in Week 5, and Pitts returns to a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Bills, a team that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to TEs this year, so it will be a good test to see if Michael Penix Jr. can keep him involved on an every-week basis.
