2025 Fantasy Outlook

Dissly was the de facto No. 1 option in a muddled Chargers TE room that also included Stone Smartt, Hayden Hurst, Tucker Fisk and Eric Tomlinson for at least eight games apiece in 2024. After six years as more of a depth option in Seattle, Dissly took advantage of his opportunity atop the depth chart and set career highs in targets (64), catches (50) and receiving yards (481) while accounting for the only two touchdown catches among Chargers tight ends. Los Angeles signed Tyler Conklin to a one-year deal in the offseason, and while it isn’t a foregone conclusion that Conklin will leapfrog Dissly for the top spot on the depth chart, Conklin has a better track record as a pass catcher, having averaged 554 receiving yards over the past four seasons. Rookie fifth-round pick Orondo Gadsden – who began his college career as a WR – could also contend for targets. Unless a clear No. 1 option emerges, the Chargers seem poised to frustrate fantasy managers with a TE-by-committee approach. Read Past Outlooks

February 17, 2025

Dissly secured 50 of 64 targets for a career-high 481 yards and two touchdowns across 15 regular-season appearances with Los Angeles in 2024. He caught two of five targets for 16 yards during the team's wild-card round loss to the Texans.

ANALYSIS
Dissly emerged as a consistent target for quarterback Justin Herbert in his inaugural season with the Chargers, setting new career-high marks across the board as a receiver. That said, the veteran tight end remained a fringe fantasy option in formats that start just one tight end, as he exceeded 50 yards in a game just twice during the 2024 season. Dissly remains under contract with Los Angeles for the next two years, though the team will have a potential 'out' to evaluate after the 2025 campaign.

With the Chargers pushed up against the cap this offseason, much of the Jim Harbaugh era began with cuts or contract restructures, but the team was able to lure Dissly away from Seattle with a three-year, $14 million deal early in the free-agency period. Given that 6-8 behemoth Donald Parham remains on the roster and the Chargers also signed veteran option Hayden Hurst later in the offseason, Dissly - who has never recorded more than 350 receiving yards in his six NFL seasons - has competition for targets in his new locale. While he could be listed as a starter, the 28-year-old may end up making most of his mark as a blocker in a projected run-heavy offense.

Dissly split tight-end reps with Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson last season but barely made a dent on the scoresheet with 34 receptions for 349 yards and three touchdowns through 15 games. He ended up missing the final three contests, including playoffs, with a knee injury that should be cleared up by training camp. As long as he's healthy, Dissly should handle plenty of snaps in 2023 because of his blocking acumen, but he's nothing more than a typical touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

The Seahawks signed Dissly to a three-year, $24 million deal after trading for tight end Noah Fant, causing some amount of confusion in the football world. Dissly is a skilled run blocker, though, and the Seahawks likely will try focusing on the ground game with Russell Wilson out of the picture. Dissly's in-line reps will give the Seahawks more flexibility to line up Fant around the formation, including the slot. But Dissly shouldn't be expected to have much of a fantasy impact, as he hasn't topped 262 receiving yards in any of his four seasons.

Dissly's first two seasons ended prematurely due to a torn patellar tendon and a torn Achilles. The 6-4, 265-pound tight end put up 31 receptions for 418 yards and six touchdowns over 10 games between 2018 and 2019. However, he couldn't sustain that level of production last year, finishing with a 24-251-2 line across 16 games. The underwhelming campaign was the result of multiple factors, including two recent and serious surgeries and the presence of fellow tight ends Greg Olsen and Jacob Hollister. Olsen and Hollister now are gone, but the Seahawks signed Gerald Everett in free agency. Dissly will have a consistent role on offense because of his run-blocking ability, but there's little fantasy value available for receivers not named DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett. Plus, the upcoming positional battle with Everett adds uncertainty to the equation.

Dissly is right in the running for worst injury luck in the NFL. In 2018, he came in as a fourth-round pick and put up 151 yards and two TDs over his first three games before suffering a torn patellar tendon Week 4. It's one of the worst injuries a football player can have, yet Dissly made it back for Week 1 last season and immediately reclaimed the starting job. Sitting on 262 yards and four TDs through five games, he had worked his way into a three-down role and earned Russell Wilson's trust in the red zone (five targets). Then Week 6 brought a torn Achilles. While the Seahawks claim they're optimistic the 24-year-old will be ready for Week 1, their offseason moves - signing Greg Olsen, drafting Colby Parkinson in the fourth round, giving Jacob Hollister a second-round RFA tender - hint at some level of doubt. The Olsen signing, in particular, appears problematic for Dissly's short-term workload.

A fourth-round pick last year, Dissly quickly emerged as the cream of the crop in Seattle's timeshare at TE, ripping off gains of 66, 34 and 24 yards before a patella tear Week 4 brought his rookie season to a halt. It's a tricky injury for any player to bounce back from, but the young tight end at least has age (23) and the timing of the injury (Sept. 30) working in his favor. While he didn't practice at OTAs or minicamp, Dissly will be about 10 months removed from the injury when Seattle opens training camp in late July. At that point he'll battle for snaps with Nick Vannett, Ed Dickson and Jacob Hollister, a group utterly lacking in upside. Given the questions Seattle faces at wide receiver with Doug Baldwin retiring, Dissly has a chance to emerge as one of Russell Wilson's preferred targets near the goal line.

Dissly is thought to be the top run-blocking tight end of the 2018 NFL Draft. This was a key reason why he was picked by the Seahawks in the fourth round. The 21-year-old only had three touchdown catches in his final two seasons at Washington. However, Ed Dickson isn't making progress on his quad injury, which could make Dissly the No. 2 tight end and give him more opportunities. Dissly's fantasy value remains low still.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Gets noteworthy competition Friday

TELos Angeles Chargers

March 21, 2025

Dissly is now joined on the Chargers' tight-end depth chart by Tyler Conklin, who signed a one-year deal Friday per Adam Schefter and Rich Cimini of ESPN.

ANALYSIS
Dissly broke out for a career-best season in his 2024 debut campaign with the Chargers, recording 50 receptions for 481 yards and two touchdowns on 64 targets over 15 regular-season games. However, Conklin represents legitimate competition for snaps considering the latter's 170 receptions over the last three seaons with the Jets, although Dissly will naturally have an experience edge in coordinator Greg Roman's offense.
