Ed Dickson Fantasy Stats

The Seattle Seahawks released tight end Ed Dickson on Tuesday, according to a source. Dickson was due $3 million in 2020, and the Seahawks will save most of that money with his release. The 32-year-old veteran played in just 10 games (one start) in his only season in Seattle, catching 12 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns. He has had trouble staying healthy in recent seasons and will be, at best, a depth option for another team on the open market. Dickson's release was expected after the team signed Greg Olsen in free agency. They also have Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister returning.

The Seattle Seahawks could release tight end Ed Dickson and save $3 million against the salary cap in order to free up some space to sign either defensive end Everson Griffen or Jadeveon Clowney. They could also look to cut safety Tedric Thompson ($2.1 million cap savings) or center Justin Britt ($8.75 million savings). Britt is coming off season-ending knee surgery and Thompson was benched last year. Dickson, 33 this summer, played in just 10 games in 2019 due to injury and made 12 catches for 143 yards and three touchdowns. With Greg Olsen now on the team and Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister also on the depth chart, it might be best anyway for Dickson to find another home.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee) is "ready this week to go" in Week 10 against the 49ers on Monday night. Dickson must be activated off the Injured Reserve before making his season debut this week. Seattle will now have Dickson, Luke Willson and Jacob Hollister at tight end with Will Dissly done for the season. Hollister has been the best TE2 in fantasy since Dissly went down, but Dickson's presence will hurt his chances of making a significant impact. Don't expect Dickson to play a heavy amount of snaps on Monday night, so he should be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee), who is still on the Injured Reserve, will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the Buccaneers. Dickson has yet to make his season debut, but he could immediately become the team's top pass-catching tight end with Will Dissly out for the year. Don't expect big things from Dickson right away if he plays, even in this great matchup, but he's worth scooping up off the waiver wire in deeper leagues if you're desperate at the position. Luke Willson and Jacob Hollister have been splitting repetitions at the position since Dissly went down several weeks ago.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee) is "still aways away" from returning. The 32-year-old veteran won't be ready for Week 1 and wouldn't even be a fantasy target if he was. When healthy, Dickson will compete for playing time with Will Dissly and Nick Vannett. Dickson had only 12 receptions for 143 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games played in his first year with Seattle in 2018. He's gone over 500 yards receiving just once in his career, and that was back in 2011 with Baltimore.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson is expected to be out for up to five weeks after having knee surgery, and it's not clear if Seattle will be keeping him now. Dickson was brought in last season, but he didn't play much of a role for most of his time with the team. Now with three other tight ends vying for the roster spots and hybrid tight end/offensive lineman George Fant sidelined with a sprained ankle, it's possible Dickson will have to be let go so the team can keep another offensive lineman. Even if he is kept, it's unclear if he'll actually get any use this year. For now, any fantasy owners in deep leagues should avoid this situation. There's just too much uncertainty.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said on Wednesday that veteran tight end Ed Dickson (knee) underwent knee surgery and the team is hopeful he'll only need a four- or five-week recovery period. The timetable will put his availability for the regular-season opener in question. With Will Dissly also banged up, it appears Nick Vannett and Jacob Hollister will be doing the heavy lifting during preseason games, and they could factor in prominently in Week 1.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (knee) suffered a knee injury and head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday that the team is trying to determine if he requires surgery. If he has a procedure the veteran would be sidelined four to five weeks. Dickson had an injury-marred 2018 season, and it sounds like his 2019 campaign is headed for a similar fate. It's good news for the fantasy prospects of Will Dissly, who figures to be the biggest beneficiary of a Dickson injury. Nick Vannett and Jacob Hollister are also in the mix in Seattle.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson brought in the game-winning touchdown on Thursday night as the Seahawks topped Green Bay. Dickson was only targeted once all night, and it was on a wide open pattern right down the gut with the game on the line. Unfortunately, Seattle appears to continue to struggle with how best to use a receiving tight end as Dickson has only been targeted five times in four games. Two of those have now gone for touchdowns, but his use is way too unpredictable to be a valuable fantasy target. If he can get a few more consistent opportunities, he may become viable late in the year, but it's unlikely.

The Seattle Seahawks have leaned heavily on their running game and everyone knows about their wide receivers at this point, but their secret weapon for Week 9 could be tight end Ed Dickson. Dickson returned last week to make his season debut and looked fine as he caught a pair of passes for a touchdown and 54 yards, and he's the one piece of Seattle's offense that can bring a new wrinkle this deep into a season. Plugging someone with Dickson's size and hands into Seattle's passing offense will force LA to come up with some new schemes because he's such an odd man out compared to the team's usual assortment of smaller, quicker players. At 6'4", 250 pounds, Dickson may be just the oddity the team needs to capitalize in the red zone.
