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

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) only made two catches in a Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Dissly has been dealing with a shoulder injury but came into the game without an official injury designation. He'd been very heavily involved in the passing game over the past three games, but with Quentin Johnston returning from an ankle injury, Dissly again faded into a support role at best. He was targeted just three times, making his two catches for nine yards total. Dissly could have some touchdown-dependent value in fantasy leagues going forward, but his brief stint as a TE1 is likely over.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) is a potential streaming option in deeper leagues in a Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns. Dissly has shot up the fantasy tight end ranks lately, seeing 23 targets thrown his way over the past three games after just 10 in total through the first four. Dissly has been able to pick up the slack a bit as other Chargers pass catchers have been forced to miss time and play hurt. This week, both Quentin Johnston (ankle) and D.J. Chark (groin) are expected to play, so Dissly's target share could go down somewhat, but he's clearly built some trust with quarterback Justin Herbert and should remain part of the game plan. Dissly has been dealing with a shoulder issue and missed practice on Wednesday but was able to return to a limited practice on Thursday and got in a full session on Friday. He enters the weekend without an injury designation and should be a solid TE2 option with a high floor.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly made five catches in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Dissly remained heavily involved in the passing game, seeing seven targets thrown his way, tied for the team lead. His five catches gained 41 yards. That's now three games in a row of at least five targets for Dissly, who has developed a high floor as part of the Chargers passing game. He should continue as a solid but unexciting TE2 option in Week 9 as the Bolts travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Dissly did not participate during Wednesday's and Thursday's practice but returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity which is a promising sign for his status this weekend. Last weekend, the 28-year-old tight end saw a hefty 11 targets and was able to bring in eight of them for a season-high 81 yards. With wideouts Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey also listed as questionable, the Chargers may lean heavily on their rushing attack facing one of the worst rushing defenses in football. Fantasy managers should expect J.K. Dobbins to be heavily involved on Sunday and be viewed as a high-end RB2.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was sidelined for the second straight day during practice. This is not good to see after Dissly's eight-catch performance in Week 7. Now, Dissly is in danger of missing Week 8 after back-to-back absences. If active, Dissly sneaks onto the TE2 radar against the New Orleans Saints. Otherwise, Hayden Hurst (groin) could be asked to take on a bigger role after he returned to practice on Thursday. However, Hurst hasn't done enough this season to earn the trust of fantasy managers.
