Seven weeks into the NFL season, Seattle Seahawks Tight End Will Dissly is catching almost everything thrown his way.
Among receivers with as least 20 targets, Dissly ranks first with a 95% catch rate, advanced stats show.
In fact, he’s the only player among that group with a 90% rate or better.
Dissly’s 19 catches this year have him on track to set a new season mark for yardage. He has 194 yards on the year, after never previously racking up for than 262 yards in a season.
Dissly’s career high 24 catches (2020) also appears to be in line to be topped – perhaps even this weekend.
Arizona Cardinals Receiver Greg Dortch is the league’s second most sure-handed pass-catcher through Week 7.
He’s caught 22 of 25 targets for a rate of more than 88%, while Atlanta WR Olamide Zaccheaus has caught more than 86% of his grabs.
Zaccheaus is also heading toward the likelihood of a career year as well, with his 302 yards just 100 yards short of his previous high – with 10 games left to play.
By comparison, Rondale Moore was the league’s most reliable pass-catcher in 2021 with a catch percentage just under 85%.
