Dissly got on the board early with a 29-yard first quarter touchdown, churning out significant yardage per reception on his way to 80 yards on just four catches. His volume took a slight hit compared to previous weeks but his production continues to be there in his now-expanded role in the offense. Expect Dissly to continue to serve as the primary tight end after Hayden Hurst once again found himself inactive in Week 11.
Dissly was targeted heavily in the first quarter before the Chargers shifted toward the run. He led the team in targets a week after having just two catches for nine yards. Dissly ran 16 pass routes against the Titans while TE Hayden Hurst logged just six routes. Dissly could benefit from inflated pass volume in Week 11 against the Bengals.
Dissly, with Hayden Hurst back on the field, ran a route on 24 of the Chargers' 35 drop backs and served as the fourth pass-catching option. Quentin Johnston's return to action will hurt Dissly's involvement in the pass game after he had 18 targets over the past two games. Dissly will be a streaming play in Week 10 against the Titans.
The veteran wide receiver will make his season debut for the Chargers in Week 9 against the Browns. The team also gets back wide receiver Quentin Johnston and tight end Hayden Hurst, making Week 9 the healthiest their pass-catching corps has been since the start of the season.
Chargers TE Hayden Hurst (groin) is off the final injury report and will play vs. the Browns this weekend. Hurst isn t a fantasy option, but his return clouds the playing time and target projections on TE Will Dissly. Try to not use Dissly in Week 9 fantasy lineups.
