Just the obligatory TE that blows up early and fades away.Drafted to be blocking TE. Wouldn’t expect these numbers again. Reminds me of Zack Miller.
The one who routinely put up 60-800 with a pass first QB or the one in Chicago who was good for 5 TDs a year when not hurt?Drafted to be blocking TE. Wouldn’t expect these numbers again. Reminds me of Zack Miller.
With all due respect, I do believe you are incorrect. There's been plenty of chatter how he has such great hands you can barely hear the ball when he catches. Pete Carroll wasn't about to tip his hand when he kept commenting "blocking TE", he loves this kid.Drafted to be blocking TE. Wouldn’t expect these numbers again. Reminds me of Zack Miller.
Oakland-Seattle version.The one who routinely put up 60-800 with a pass first QB or the one in Chicago who was good for 5 TDs a year when not hurt?
bump.......................Nick Vannett seemed to be getting some hype during the preseason too (I didn't read up a lot, but seemed like more than Dissly?). Any SEA homers have insight on how this could play out?
I think you're right. He's not athletic but probably better receiver than you might think coming out. Still primarily a blocker though so I wouldn't expect this kind of output going forward - more of a TE2 depth guy, which could still be handy given the position.He showed good hands for sure and a knack for bumping off weak tackles. That being said, I am skeptical that he will see regular volume of targets. He doesn't look particularly quick or fast.
On the other hand, not too many rookie TEs have this kind of start to their career.
I am inclined to think that this game will be an outlier but his blocking keeps him on the field and he does show good hands, so I would guess he could produce 40-50 with 500-600 yards and 5-6 TDs. TE2. Don't see him ever being a top6 TE.
Football Jones said:Dissly might not be your typical week 1 flash in the pan. I initially had Dissly on my hot list when I was scouting for my rookie drafts so he did catch my eye. I'm really picky about who I roster at TE so he wasn't high enough of a priority for me to draft, but Dissly has some upside.
If that. I think he'll fizzle out after this week pretty darn quick. Pass.a name to be forgotten in a month?
It's all about upside at the TE position, especially in dynasty leagues.I spent 30% of my faab on him in a league with deep rosters lol. F it. I doubt anyone else pops up in that league that isn't already rostered anyway. Let's go Dissly!
He's considered the best blocking TE they have. Given the fact their line sucks, he's going to be on the field more to help block. But that also means he's going to have more opportunities to release and catch passes off of play action, schemes, etc.
Yes.Something to see here? Another TD.
Will Dissly - TE - Seahawks
Seahawks TE Will Dissly suffered a knee injury and has exited Sunday's Week 4 game versus the Cardinals.
Dissly suffered an injury to his right knee on a 5-yard catch. The injury appeared to potentially serious as he needed to be taken off the field. The rookie has had a promising start to the season, catching 8-of-14 targets for 156 yards and two touchdowns.

The Seahawks expect TE Will Dissly (torn patella tendon) to be ready early in camp.
Coach Pete Carroll was equivocating all over the map, saying Dissly should be ready before hedging and amending that the team will be "cautious." Dissly could miss the "first week or so." Carroll did say there was "no doubt" about the regular season. Dissly posted an 8/156/2 line across four games last season, but even in a tight end group that made no notable additions, the odds that he makes fantasy noise in 2019 are exceedingly slim.

Seahawks.com's John Boyle expects TE Will Dissly (knee) to have a big role in the offense.
Dissly is recovering from a torn patella tendon — one of the hardest injuries to come back from. He's unlikely to be ready for the start of training camp, but the Seahawks are counting on him for Week 1. Even with Doug Baldwin gone, it's hard to see Dissly getting many targets. Dissly's value will be tied to his red-zone usage.

Will Dissly (knee) ran routes at practice on Thursday.
He suffered a torn patella tendon in September last season and has been expected to be ready for camp dating back to at least March. Dissly will likely be ready for Week 1, and it's possible he'll be part of the solution to replace Doug Baldwin's targets. He's still only on the radar in very deep leagues.
