Chargers' Will Dissly: Leads team in targets, receptions
Will Dissly caught five of his six targets for 30 yards in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.Dissly led the team in targets and receptions, but he was effectively just a checkdown option in a game in which the Los Angeles Chargers attempted just 18 passes total. The seventh-year veteran does seem to have pushed Hayden Hurst out of the pass-catching tight end platoon role, as Hurst played just eight snaps for a second consecutive week. The lack of volume in the Los Angeles pass attacking will limit Dissly's fantasy production most weeks.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Targeted three times in win
Will Dissly caught two of his three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Browns.Dissly led all Los Angeles Chargers tight ends in playing time Sunday, logging 39 of 57 offensive snaps in the contest. Fellow tight ends Eric Tomlinson and Hayden Hurst played 16 and eight snaps, respectively. Dissly's nine yards accounted for his lowest mark of the season, and was especially disappointing after he had produced a 13-122-0 receiving line on 18 targets across the previous two contests. Hurst missed both of those games with a groin injury, and though Hurst isn't expected to handle a major role moving forward, his return to action in Week 9 looks as though it could suppress Dissly's snap and target counts moving forward.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Good to go against Browns
Will Dissly (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing without limitations Friday.The same applies to fellow tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) -- who has missed two straight games -- so Dissly could lose some volume in Week 9 after racking up 18 targets in Weeks 7 and 8. In that context, he profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, especially with wideouts Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston (who had missed back-to-back contests) and Joshua Palmer slated to play Sunday.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Back at practice
Will Dissly (shoulder) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Eric Smith of the Los Angeles Chargers' official site reports.After missing practice Wednesday, Dissly is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. The same goes for fellow tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) -- who has missed two straight games -- but practiced fully Thursday. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Dissly carries an injury designation into the weekend, but the looming return of Hurst could cost Dissly (who has logged 18 targets over his last two games) some volume in Week 9.

Dobbins for the team lead in targets, and the tight end has racked up 18 targets in the Los Angeles Chargers' last two games.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Active versus New Orleans
Will Dissly (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game versus the Saints.After returning to a limited practice Friday, Dissly approached the contest listed as questionable. With his Sunday availability confirmed and fellow TE Hayden Hurst (groin) inactive, Dissly -- who caught eight of his 11 targets for 81 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 17-15 loss to the Cardinals this past Monday -- offers a lineup option for those in need of tight-end help in Week 8.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Questionable for Sunday
Will Dissly (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET game against the Saints after returning to a limited practice Friday.Meanwhile, fellow TE Hayden Hurst (groin) also is listed as questionable after logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. In the Los Angeles Chargers' 17-15 loss to the Cardinals on Monday -- a game that Hurst missed -- Dissly caught eight of his 11 targets for 81 yards. On the heels of that effort, Dissly could merit deep league attention if he plays this weekend, but if Hurst also is available, neither player would be a high-percentage Week 8 lineup option.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Misses second straight practice
Will Dissly (shoulder) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.Dissly appeared on the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 7 injury report due to the same shoulder issue, but after logging a limited practice Thursday he put in full practices Friday and Saturday to clear the way for him to suit up Monday against the Cardinals. He proceeded to turn in a season-best line (eight catches for 81 yards on 11 targets) in the 17-15 win, but his shoulder injury may have worsened at some point along the way. Dissly has now been a spectator for both of the Chargers' first Week 8 practices, so he may need to participate in some capacity Friday to have a chance at playing Sunday versus the Saints.

Chargers' Will Dissly: Sidelined to begin Week 8 prep
Will Dissly (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Eric Smith of the Los Angeles Chargers' official site reports.Dissly is coming off a breakout performance against the Cardinals on Monday, when he recorded a career-high eight receptions (on 11 targets) for 81 yards. He was Justin Herbert's favorite target in the absence of wideout Quentin Johnston (ankle), but Dissly is still working through a shoulder injury that limited him in practice leading up to Monday's contest. Dissly will have two more chances to increase his practice activity ahead of the Chargers' Week 8 matchup with the Saints on Sunday.
