Dissly was the de facto No. 1 option in a muddled Chargers TE room that also included Stone Smartt, Hayden Hurst, Tucker Fisk and Eric Tomlinson for at least eight games apiece in 2024. After six years as more of a depth option in Seattle, Dissly took advantage of his opportunity atop the depth chart and set career highs in targets (64), catches (50) and receiving yards (481) while accounting for the only two touchdown catches among Chargers tight ends. Los Angeles signed Tyler Conklin to a one-year deal in the offseason, and while it isn't a foregone conclusion that Conklin will leapfrog Dissly for the top spot on the depth chart, Conklin has a better track record as a pass catcher, having averaged 554 receiving yards over the past four seasons. Rookie fifth-round pick Orondo Gadsden - who began his college career as a WR - could also contend for targets. Unless a clear No. 1 option emerges, the Chargers seem poised to frustrate fantasy managers with a TE-by-committee approach.
