Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Luke Schoonmaker

Thursday, September 25, 12:53 AM

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (knee) was listed as a DNP in Wednesday's practice, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Dissly did not play in their Week 3 win over the Broncos, and that opened the door for rookie Oronde Gadsden to emerge and potentially become a big piece moving forward. Gadsden was active and saw playing time for the first time in his career, and he earned seven targets, catching five for 46 yards. Dissly's snap count is certainly in danger when he returns as head coach. Jim Harbaugh has already indicated that Gadsden will see more work. Dissly had a productive season last year, but he isn't as talented a receiver as Tyler Conklin and Gadsden. He likely won't have fantasy relevance anytime soon, and the injury doesn't help things.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Luke Schoonmaker (concussion) was not listed on the team's injury report Monday, which indicates that he has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Schoonmaker was sidelined for nearly two weeks while recovering, and now, he's back just in time for the season opener. The 26-year-old was productive while backing up Jake Ferguson last season, as he caught 27 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown through 17 games (six starts). Schoonmaker should be left on waivers for now, but he would instantly become a high-end TE2 if Ferguson were to miss any games.
