Will Dissly's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly struggled his way through a rough loss in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans. Dissly was targeted five times, making two catches for 16 yards total. He dropped a pass while completely wide open and also was unable to catch a rather easy pass that he batted and turned into an interception instead. Dissly came on as a solid and reliable high-floor fantasy tight end in the second half of the season, but he was almost solely responsible for a 14-point swing in the most important game of the season for the Chargers. Dissly signed a three-year deal before the season, so he should be expected back with the Bolts, but they'll likely look for a more traditional pass-catching tight end either in free agency or in the draft.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly has a high floor and some projectable ceiling when the Chargers take on the Houston Texans on Saturday of Wild Card Weekend. Dissly figures to operate as a safety outlet for quarterback Justin Herbert in a game where J.K. Dobbins (ankle) and Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) may be limited or unable to play. Rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey will surely be the focus of the passing game, but Dissly could be the second read on many plays if other Chargers are forced to miss the contest. Dissly only scored two touchdowns in the regular season, but after Week 6, he averaged five targets per game and could be needed more in the red zone because of the injuries to the offense.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly scored a touchdown in a Week 18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly was targeted six times, making five catches for 42 yards. His touchdown came on a two-yard pass from Justin Herbert near the beginning of the fourth quarter. Dissly ended up second on the team in catches and third in targets. Stone Smartt, who had been splitting tight end work with Dissly, finished the game without a single target. Dissly should remain the top tight end option for the Bolts on Saturday when they face the Texans in the first round of the playoffs.
