Will Dissly Fantasy Overview

2024 Summary

Dissly nearly doubled his previous high for targets in his first season with the Chargers. He still ranked just 22nd among TEs in targets, though, tied for 18th in receptions, 21st in receiving yards, tied for 24th in TD catches, and 30th in half-PPR points per game.

Dissly played just 56.8% of the offensive snaps across his 15 games, though the Chargers clearly valued his receiving more than Seattle did over the TE’s first six years. Dissly ran a route on a career-high 86.5% of his pass snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. He set career highs in total slot snaps (32.1% of his total pass snaps) and snaps out wide (15.9%).

But Dissly also registered a career-low 9.6 yards per catch on a shallow 4.8-yard aDOT. His 78.1% catch rate was strong but actually checked in short of his career mark (80.5%).

2025 Expectations

The Chargers signed TE Tyler Conklin to a one-year, $3 million contract – with nearly all of that guaranteed. That lands Conklin well short of Dissly’s $5.875 million 2025 cap number. But it figures to challenge his receiving role.

Stone Smartt ranked second among Chargers TEs last year with just 19 targets, less than a third of Dissly’s total. Conklin caught 51+ passes each of the past four years and has run a route on more than 85% of his pass snaps each of the past three years.

There’s a chance the team signed him to take a significant chunk of the TE targets while freeing Dissly up to block more. It’s also possible the team wants two solid TEs to help support a higher rushing rate than last year.

Either way, Conklin’s arrival makes the unexciting Dissly even less attractive as a fantasy option.
