Should You Start or Sit Will Dissly in Week 18?
Dissly returned last weekend from a shoulder injury that cost him two weeks. While I value what he brings to the table for the Chargers, the fantasy impact is minimal at best.
This season, Dissly owns a shallow route tree (4.9-yard average depth of target) and that’s a tough sell in a run-first offense led by a receiver like Ladd McConkey. Like most tight ends, he needs to find paydirt to pay off. With just one end-zone target on his 2024 résumé, I can’t get him higher than TE15 this week.
