The Chargers’ tight end situation remains complex: Will Dissly made an impact on his first drive but may not serve as the primary receiving tight end for the Chargers.
The tight end group, featuring all impactful players, is critical for fantasy. Last season, Dissly was the go-to tight end despite primarily being a blocker. Players like Tucker Fisk handled blocking roles, while defensive players Scott Matlock contributed as a converted fullback. The Chargers let go of Hayden Hurst and Stone Smartt and added veteran Tyler Conklin from the New York Jets and rookie Oronde Gadsden.
Although Conklin didn’t feature in this game, Dissly, Gadsden, Fisk, and Matlock did. This suggests that Conklin is likely the leading receiving tight end for the Chargers. Dissly’s participation was unexpected, given his experience; neither Fisk nor Matlock filled his initial drive’s snaps. Both Dissly and Gadsden started together at tight end, with Dissly taking five out of six snaps, hinting at Gadsden’s potential ahead of him. Dissly’s early season role appears to lean more toward run-blocking, similar to his previous experiences in Seattle, making him less likely to be the tight end contributing the most fantasy points.
