The Seattle Seahawks released tight end Ed Dickson on Tuesday, according to a source. Dickson was due $3 million in 2020, and the Seahawks will save most of that money with his release. The 32-year-old veteran played in just 10 games (one start) in his only season in Seattle, catching 12 passes for 143 yards and three touchdowns. He has had trouble staying healthy in recent seasons and will be, at best, a depth option for another team on the open market. Dickson's release was expected after the...

The Seattle Seahawks could release tight end Ed Dickson and save $3 million against the salary cap in order to free up some space to sign either defensive end Everson Griffen or Jadeveon Clowney. They could also look to cut safety Tedric Thompson ($2.1 million cap savings) or center Justin Britt ($8.75 million savings). Britt is coming off season-ending knee surgery and Thompson was benched last year. Dickson, 33 this summer, played in just 10 games in 2019 due to injury and made 12 catches for...

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee) is "ready this week to go" in Week 10 against the 49ers on Monday night. Dickson must be activated off the Injured Reserve before making his season debut this week. Seattle will now have Dickson, Luke Willson and Jacob Hollister at tight end with Will Dissly done for the season. Hollister has been the best TE2 in fantasy since Dissly went down, but Dickson's presence will hurt his chances of making a significant ...

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee), who is still on the Injured Reserve, will be a game-time decision for Week 9 against the Buccaneers. Dickson has yet to make his season debut, but he could immediately become the team's top pass-catching tight end with Will Dissly out for the year. Don't expect big things from Dickson right away if he plays, even in this great matchup, but he's worth scooping up off the waiver wire in deeper leagues if you're ...

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Ed Dickson (knee) is "still aways away" from returning. The 32-year-old veteran won't be ready for Week 1 and wouldn't even be a fantasy target if he was. When healthy, Dickson will compete for playing time with Will Dissly and Nick Vannett. Dickson had only 12 receptions for 143 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games played in his first year with Seattle in 2018. He's gone over 500 yards receiving just once in his career, and that ...

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson is expected to be out for up to five weeks after having knee surgery, and it's not clear if Seattle will be keeping him now. Dickson was brought in last season, but he didn't play much of a role for most of his time with the team. Now with three other tight ends vying for the roster spots and hybrid tight end/offensive lineman George Fant sidelined with a sprained ankle, it's possible Dickson will have to be let go so the team can keep another offensive ...

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said on Wednesday that veteran tight end Ed Dickson (knee) underwent knee surgery and the team is hopeful he'll only need a four- or five-week recovery period. The timetable will put his availability for the regular-season opener in question. With Will Dissly also banged up, it appears Nick Vannett and Jacob Hollister will be doing the heavy lifting during preseason games, and they could factor in prominently in Week 1.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (knee) suffered a knee injury and head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday that the team is trying to determine if he requires surgery. If he has a procedure the veteran would be sidelined four to five weeks. Dickson had an injury-marred 2018 season, and it sounds like his 2019 campaign is headed for a similar fate. It's good news for the fantasy prospects of [...]

It used to be that we ignored the tight end position until the middle rounds of a draft. Now, it's not uncommon to see a name like Kelce in the first round and not bat an eyelash, while Ertz and Kittle are guaranteed to be taken within the top 30 picks. In best-ball leagues, you must set out to "win" at every position on draft day. There is no Plan B. [...]

Recently, the RotoBaller staff put together ourup-to-date rankings for dynasty formats. As you can see, the position is ruled by a clearly established top tier, consisting of Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle. Our tight end rankings on RotoBaller reflect how dynasty startup drafts have generally played out this offseason. Kelce is usually the first tight end off the board. Once he goes, you can expect Ertz and Kittle to follow shortly thereafter, usually within the next 10-15 picks. Pla[...]
