Will Dissly Fantasy

The Seattle Seahawks believe that tight end Will Dissly is a big part of their offense and moved to re-sign him in free agency when another team that knows him well attempted to pry him away. "Offensively right now, his leadership is huge. He's a core dude on the offense," general manager John Schneider said. Gerald Everett is now with the Chargers, but the Seahawks acquired Noah Fant in the trade that sent quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. Dissly has yet to record over 24 receptions or top 262 yards receiving in his four NFL seasons in Seattle, and he's unlikely to be much of a fantasy consideration in 2022, considering the team's QB situation and the fact that Fant should be the primary pass-catching tight end.

Tight end Will Dissly has agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal to return to the Seahawks. After completing his four-year rookie contract, the 25-year-old will get a bump in pay. However, with Russell Wilson no longer under center, things will undoubtedly look different in Seattle. Dissly finished the 2021-22 campaign by racking up only 21 catches for 231 yards and a touchdown. He'll likely continue to prove his value as a blocker, so managers shouldn't consider him an adequate fantasy option unless he starts to become more involved in the offense.

The Seattle Seahawks activated tight end Will Dissly and right tackle Brandon Shell from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Dissly missed the Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears, while Shell, the team's starting right tackle, has missed the last three games due to COVID and a shoulder injury. In one more game played than teammate Gerald Everett, Dissly has 20 receptions for 223 yards and one touchdown on 25 targets compared to 44 catches for 422 yards and four touchdowns on 55 targets for Everett. So Dissly will only become fantasy relevant if Everett were to miss time with injury, although Dissly's return could put a dent in Everett's increasing streamer appeal after he went for a season-high 68 receiving yards and his fourth touchdown of the season in Week 16 against Chicago.
