Dawson Knox vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown
Dawson Knox and Will Dissly are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Dawson Knox averaged 5.4 PPG across 16 games with the Buffalo Bills, while Will Dissly posted 3.9 PPG in 16 appearances for the Los Angeles Chargers.
A 1.5-PPG gap gives Dawson Knox the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Dawson Knox had 36 catches for 417 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.
Dawson Knox has his bye in Week 7, and Will Dissly rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
