Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Tyler Conklin

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Tuesday. This is now back-to-back missed practice sessions for Dissly who missed last week's game with a shoulder injury. At this rate, fantasy managers should expect Dissly to sit out of Thursday's game against the Denver Broncos. Fellow tight end Hayden Hurst (hip) was designated to return from the injured reserve on Monday. Hurst practice in full on Tuesday, which gives him a chance to play on Thursday. Otherwise, Stone Smartt figures to get another start after a five-catch outing on Sunday.

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught five of his seven targets for 59 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Conklin surprisingly finished second on the Jets in receiving yards, just nine behind leader Davante Adams in the low-scoring loss. The veteran tight end has shown a nice floor in PPR leagues of late, catching 12 passes on 17 targets over his past three games. While he only has two touchdowns on the season, Conklin may be worth a look as a deep-league streaming option against the Buffalo Bills if desperate in Week 17.
