Fantasy Tiers

Cade Stover: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position). Will Dissly: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Cade Stover is producing at 16% of elite pace and Will Dissly at 18%.

Cade Stover vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Cade Stover finished the 2025 season at 3.5 PPG over 15 games with the Houston Texans, while Will Dissly clocked in at 3.9 across 16 appearances for the Los Angeles Chargers. A 0.4-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Cade Stover had 22 catches for 215 yards; Will Dissly posted 32 for 285. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

One scheduling note: Cade Stover is off Week 14 and Will Dissly Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook
