Will Dissly (TE, SEA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 44% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Once again, Week 3 showed what the tight end landscape looks like. These are your top PPR scorers of the week: Darren Waller, Greg Olsen, Austin Hooper, Evan Engram, Jordan Akins, Will Dissly, Dawson Knox, Darren Fells. Of those, I'm betting my left hand you had not heard at least one of their names up to this point. Other than Engram and Hooper, none of the rest had anything close to a high ADP during draft season. So you get the idea. Rostering tight ends and getting production from them weekly is a crapshoot.

One of the players I mentioned, Will Dissly, could be on the verge of big things. Entering Week 3, Dissly was first at PPR/Target with 3.46 (Mark Andrews was second at just 2.94). After this week, that mark has dropped to 3.02 but still has him first at it. All of this considering Dissly put on a dud in Week 1 (2.2 PPR) against Cincinnati. Since that game, though, it's been quite a turnaround for his season.

In the two weeks following the season-opener, Dissly has 22.0 and 18.2 PPR. He is currently the third-most targeted player in the Seahawks offense and the next-guy-in-line only behind Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Dissly has 12 receptions on those 14 targets for 124 yards (8.9 Yards per Target) and has scored a team-leading three touchdowns. He is the only tight end in the league to have reached that mark in three games, tied with nine WR and only beaten by another three wideouts that have four scores.

If there is an efficient attack, it is the Seahawks. Seattle's passing offense ranks sixth or better in Yards per Attempt, Completion percentage, QB Rating, Average Yards After Catch and passing TD so far. Although Nick Vannett is the TE2 of the team, the four-year veteran doesn't look like a threat for Dissly as long as he keeps producing. In 74 snaps, Dissly has been targeted 14 times to Vannett's five in 57. No matter Vannett's running routes and not blocking almost all the time, Wilson just simply never looks his way.

In any deeper league, Dissly should be snatched from waivers before someone else get his hands on him. His ownership rate is skyrocketing already, and his production merits it. Make him one of your top WW priorities if you have a hole at TE, are streaming the position, or have doubts placed on the guys you're currently rostering (Eric Ebron or OJ Howard, for example) in case you decide to move from them.
