The Los Angeles Chargers are signing former Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly to a three-year, $14 million deal with $10 million fully guaranteed in the first two years on Monday, according to a source. Veteran Gerald Everett is a free agent, so Dissly has a chance to come to LA in 2024 and play a meaningful role as both a pass-catcher and blocker in head coach Jim Harbaugh's first season in his return to the NFL. The 27-year-old Dissly was a former fourth-round selection in 2018 by Seattle out of Washington, and he caught 127 passes for 1,421 yards and 13 touchdowns in his six years with the Seahawks. Last year, Dissly had just 17 receptions for 172 yards and one score, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be much more than a touchdown-dependent tight end streamer in his new home with the Bolts.
The Seattle Seahawks are releasing tight end Will Dissly on Tuesday, according to a source. The move saves the Seahawks $7 million in cash on the 2024 salary cap. The 27-year-old has 13 career touchdowns in his six seasons in Seattle, but he wasn't much of a fantasy weapon while splitting snaps with Noah Fan the last couple years. In 16 games (14 starts) for the team this past season, Dissly caught just 17 passes on 22 targets for 172 yards and one touchdown. The former fourth-round selection by Seattle in 2018 out of Washington has never had more than 34 receptions, 349 yards or four touchdowns in a single season. Regardless of where he lands on the open market, Dissly is unlikely to be anything more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had 46 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. While Dissly was the one who scored, it was Colby Parkinson who saw the biggest increase in snaps after the early departure of Noah Fant (hand) due to injury. Both tight ends tied with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to lead the team in receptions with three apiece. In a season where Seattle's offensive line was often injured and struggling to hold their ground, the Seahawks rotated their tight ends frequently and utilized them as extra blockers more often than not. As such, the touchdown was Dissly was rarely involved in the passing game and his production in Week 18 leaves him with a final tally of 17 catches for 172 yards and one touchdown in 2023.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (hip) came into Thursday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys with a questionable tag, but he's officially active for the Week 13 contest and will play. The Seahawks haven't really involved their tight ends much this year, so Dissly can continue going ignored in fantasy lineups in this one. The 27-year-old has only 10 receptions for 108 yards and no touchdowns on the year in 10 games played. He hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 2 and is coming off a one-catch, 21-yard performance in last Thursday's blowout loss to the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Dissly has only 13 targets in the passing game all year long.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (hip) was upgraded to a limited practice on Tuesday after he didn't practice on Monday. The veteran tight end injured his hip during his team's loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thanksgiving but he's trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. Dissly's ability to practice again on Wednesday will be a good sign as to his status heading into Thursday night.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (hip) did not participate in practice on Monday while he deals with a hip issue. He was able to play in the team's last game against the 49ers on Thanksgiving, but he only saw around 27% of the offensive snaps. Fantasy managers who have some stock in Noah Fant may want to monitor Dissly's status because it could mean some more snaps for Fant in Week 13. Otherwise, Dissly doesn't move the needle either way.
Seattle Seahawks tight ends Will Dissly (shoulder) and Noah Fant (knee) are both officially active for the Monday night contest against the New York Giants. Both Dissly and Fant came in with questionable designations, but they'll both suit up to close out Week 4 action. Dissly was held out of last week's win over the Carolina Panthers and will return to split the pass-catching workload with Fant. In his first two games, Dissly put up just five catches for 52 yards. Fant has recorded eight receptions for 97 yards in his three games played in 2023. The passing game in Seattle still runs through receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Metcalf, which makes both Dissly and Fant touchdown-dependent TE2 options in starting fantasy lineups.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) carries a questionable tag ahead of Monday's encounter with the Giants. The 27-year-old, who has five catches for 52 yards this season, injured his shoulder in Week 2, keeping him out of the lineup in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. Under normal circumstances, Noah Fant (knee) would probably see a few additional looks from Geno Smith. However, Fant is also questionable, meaning third-string tight end Colby Parkinson might draw the start in week 4. That said, no matter who sits atop the depth chart, Fant, Dissly, or Parkinson haven't done enough to earn a spot in any fantasy lineup.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was limited for the second straight day in practice on Friday. Dissly was held out of the Week 3 win over the Carolina Panthers, but he appears to at least have a shot at returning on Monday night this week on the road in New York against the Giants. In his absence last Sunday against Carolina, Noah Fant saw more playing time for Seattle and finished with four catches on five targets for 41 yards. The 27-year-old Dissly has done very little in his first two games of 2023, catching all five of his targets for 52 yards. Even if Dissly is able to make a return in Week 4 on Monday night, fantasy managers in single-tight end leagues should be able to find better options for their starting lineups.
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Dissly was able to get out on the practice field after head coach Pete Carroll said he was going to be sidelined. Dissly continues to deal with a lingering shoulder issue that he suffered during Week 2. The fact Dissly was able to practice gives some hope that he could play Monday night versus the New York Giants. Otherwise, Noah Fant and Cody Parkinson would likely split up the reps at tight end.
