Seahawks face changes after first losing season in a decade
After the first losing season in more than a decade it seems as if there will, or should, be changes coming for the Seattle SeahawksJANUARY 10, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sidelined by heel Dissly (heel) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Dissly injured his heel in the team's Week 17 win over the Lions and was unable to practice during the week as a result. His season is now over, and he ends the campaign with 21 receptions for 231 yards and one touchdown across 15 games.

Questionable for Week 18 Dissly (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Dissly was a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll have a chance to take the field in Week 18. If he's held out against the Cardinals, Colby Parkinson could see an uptick in playing time.

DNP on Thursday Dissly (heel) was absent from the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact The tight end has been absent from both of the Seahawks' first two practices of the week while dealing with a heel injury, putting his ability to play Sunday against the Cardinals in question. If Dissly is unable to play in Week 18, Colby Parkinson would operate as the primary reserve option behind Gerald Everett.

Cardinals host Seahawks, still have shot at NFC West title
The Arizona Cardinals still have a shot at winning the NFC West for the first time since 2015 on Sunday when they host the Seattle SeahawksJANUARY 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
No practice Wednesday Dissly (heel) didn't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Dissly sustained an injury during a Week 17 win versus the Lions, which coach Pete Carroll clarified as a "heel bruise or something" after the 51-29 win, per Boyle. While he logged a DNP on the Seahawks' first practice report of Week 18 prep, Dissly has a pair of chances to fit in some activity ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona.

Flashy return of Seahawks' offense comes too late in season
The Seattle Seahawks finally provided another example of what their offense was supposed to look likeJANUARY 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hurts heel in Week 17 Dissly injured his heel in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact "(Dissly) banged his heel," coach Pete Carroll said. "He's got a heel bruise or something. I'm not sure what it is right now." The backup tight end had one catch for eight yards before getting hurt. Dissly's status for the team's Week 18 trip to Arizona is up in the air.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Off COVID-19 list The Seahawks activated Dissly (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Impact Dissly found himself on the COVID-19 list last Wednesday due to a positive test that forced him to miss this past Sunday's loss to the Bears. Now that he's back on the active roster, he can set his sights on setting new career highs in catches (he needs five more) and receiving yards (he needs 40 more) over the final two contests of the campaign.

Added to reserve/COVID-19 Dissly (illness) was moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Impact Gerald Everett and/or Colby Parkinson should pick up more snaps if Dissly isn't available this Sunday against Chicago. The 265-pound tight end typically plays around half or more of Seattle's offensive snaps, but he hasn't seen more than four targets in a game all year.
DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Catches one pass Dissly caught his lone target for three yards in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.
Impact Dissly finished with a 46-percent snap share compared to Gerald Everett's 84-percent share. This has typically been the norm this season, especially when the Seahawks haven't been able to establish the run to the extent they'd prefer. With just 223 receiving yards through 14 games, Dissly shouldn't be on fantasy radars.
DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Seahawks-Rams moved to Tuesday Dissly and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
Impact Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. After Tuesday's game, the Seahawks will face a quick turnaround for Week 16 with a Sunday matchup versus the Bears on Dec. 26.

Season-high 38 yards Dissly caught two of three targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans.
Impact Dissly recorded a 68 percent snap share, out-snapping Gerald Everett (61 percent) for the first time since Week 6. It's unclear if this will be the standard moving forward, but the Seahawks will likely lean on Everett more in negative game scripts. Dissly maintains limited fantasy appeal with 19 receptions for 220 yards and a touchdown through 13 games.
DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Snares two passes Dissly caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.
Impact Dissly played 31 snaps (46 percent), marking his fourth straight game with less than a 53 percent snap share. Meanwhile, Gerald Everett has logged a 75 percent snap share or better in each of those games. Dissly is mostly being utilized as a run blocker in offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's offense, evidenced by his 17-182-1 line through 12 games.
DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Season-low snap share Dissly caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to Washington.
Impact Dissly logged 16 of a possible 47 offensive snaps, marking a season-low 36 percent. Meanwhile, Gerald Everett played 37 snaps and caught five passes for 37 yards and a score on a team-high nine targets. Dissly isn't a viable fantasy option as long as Everett is in the fold.
DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Snags one pass Dissly caught one pass (three targets) for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Dissly has recorded 13 receptions for 156 yards and a touchdown through 10 games. He finished with 25 of 49 snaps Sunday while Gerald Everett logged 42. That has been the trend for the last few weeks, though neither tight end has shown enough consistency to be a weekly fantasy option.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Registers 22 yards Dissly caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 17-0 loss to the Packers.
Impact Dissly lost six yards on a catch in the first quarter but rumbled for 28 yards on his second catch of the game in the second quarter. The fourth-year tight end hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 1, and he has registered just 12 receptions for 140 yards and a score thus far.

Second straight targetless outing Dissly wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Dissly didn't receive a target for a second straight week. He now has 12 targets through eight games, translating to 10 receptions for 118 yards and a score. Dissly needs to find the end zone to be fantasy relevant, but that will be tough as long as Gerald Everett is healthy.
