• Seahawks' Will Dissly: Stays healthy in 2020

  01/11/2021 •

  Dissly caught 24 passes (29 targets) for 251 yards and two touchdowns over 16 games during the 2020 season. Dissly led the Seahawks' tight end room in receiving yards despite running routes on just 66.9 percent of offensive snaps, fewer than both Jacob Hollister and Greg Olsen. The 2018 fourth-round pick flashed offensive upside in both of his first two seasons, producing a combined 31-418-6 line over 10 games before suffering a torn patellar tendon and a torn Achilles in consecutive seasons. Coming back from both of those injuries was a feat by itself, but there are still questions about whether he can return to the pass catcher he was beforehand. Dissly will have a chance to answer those questions in the final year of his rookie contract in 2021, but he may have to share reps with Hollister, who will be a free agent in March once again.

• Seahawks' Will Dissly: Finishes season with 24 catches

  01/04/2021 •

  Dissly was targeted twice and caught a 20-yard pass in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers. Dissly led Seattle's tight ends in Week 17 with Greg Olsen (foot) inactive after a "flare up." The Washington product out-snapped Jacob Hollister 49-41. Dissly finished the regular season with a 24-251-2 line over 16 games. Perhaps his most impressive accomplishment was staying healthy all year after his first two NFL seasons were cut short due to a patella tear and an Achilles tear, respectively. Dissly and Hollister will continue to split reps in the first playoff round against the Rams even if Olsen returns.

• Seahawks' Will Dissly: Snags three passes

  12/28/2020 •

  Dissly caught all three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams. Dissly led the Seahawks' tight ends in snaps despite Greg Olsen's (foot) return to the lineup. Olsen played just 12 snaps, and it's uncertain whether that pitch count will remain in place or if his workload will ramp up moving forward. Regardless, Dissly should continue to handle a decent workload because of his blocking abilities. He's nevertheless an undependable fantasy option with a 23-231-2 line through 15 games.

• Seahawks' Will Dissly: No targets against Washington

  12/21/2020 •

  Dissly wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington. Dissly played 37 snaps on offense, as he was out-snapped by Jacob Hollister (40 snaps) for a second straight game. Hollister finished with a 2-17-1 line. Even with Greg Olsen (foot) out of the lineup, neither tight end has distanced himself from the other in regards to fantasy utility.

• Seahawks' Will Dissly: Finds paydirt in win

  12/14/2020 •

  Dissly caught both his targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets. Dissly found the end zone for the second time since rupturing his Achilles in Week 6 of the 2019 season. He continues to look more comfortable on the field, and he likely would've played more than 49 percent of the snaps if coach Pete Carroll didn't rest his starters in the fourth quarter. Dissly's still a touchdown-dependent fantasy option, but his role in the passing game has ticked up slightly since Greg Olsen (foot) was injured.
