Will Dissly Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly continues to recover from the torn patellar tendon he suffered last season, but he still hasn't made any game appearances. Head coach Pete Carroll made a point of addressing this with reporters this week, discussing that the team is happy with Dissly's recovery and presence in practice, but he'd like to get him some time in a preseason game or two since Dissly is still such a young player. That said, he still left the door open as to when that might occur. Dissly showed some flashes of serious receiving potential early last season before the injury, so he could be huge if he can fully return.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly was penciled in to be the starter this season after coming back from a torn patellar tendon that he suffered last September, but offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is already discussing using a committee for the position. Schottenheimer made a point of complimenting Dissly's abilities as both a pass-catcher and a blocker, but he then immediately launched into all the other possible candidates for the position. It's not clear if this is just to keep the team's fourth-rounder from 2018 working hard, but it could be a concern for those in deep leagues who think he could be a sleeper.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly's rookie campaign was cut short after four games due to a patellar injury, but he posted encouraging numbers in those games, catching eight passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. He's expected to be healthy and ready to return at some point during training camp. Dissly's ability as a blocker is what got him on the field last year, but he also showed some prowess in the receiving game, which could help him rise to the top of the depth chart this year. Still, Seattle's tight end group is a confusing situation and Dissly's still a little too raw to be trusted to be a consistent source of fantasy production in 2019, though it's worth keeping an eye on him in deeper leagues.
