Will Dissly’s Rising Role in the Chargers’ Offense Ahead of Monday Night Football

Will Dissly, the tight end for the Los Angeles Chargers, has emerged as a key player in the team’s offense, particularly in the absence of a dominant wide receiver. In the Chargers’ recent game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Dissly had a standout performance, catching four of his six targets for 80 yards and a touchdown.

Dissly’s increased role is highlighted by his consistent target share. Since Week 6, he has seen a 20.4% target share and a 21.2% first-read share, making him a reliable option for quarterback Justin Herbert. His performance has been especially notable against defenses using two-high safety schemes, where he has led the team with a 22.5% target share and 25.9% first-read share.

Heading into the Week 12 Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens, Dissly is poised for another strong outing. The Ravens’ defense has been vulnerable to tight ends, allowing the second-most yards per game (66.9) and the most catches by tight ends this season. This matchup makes Dissly an attractive bet for both fantasy football and prop bets, with many experts predicting he will exceed 40.5 receiving yards and potentially score a touchdown.

Dissly’s connection with Herbert and his role in the offense, even with the return of other tight ends like Hunter Henry, suggests he will remain a significant contributor. His recent form and the favorable matchup against the Ravens make him a player to watch in the upcoming game.
