The Bottom Line

Evan Engram is the better fantasy play this season.

This one is genuinely close. Evan Engram edges Will Dissly by 1.0 PPG, but both are in the same production tier. The decision comes down to weekly matchup, not season-long resume. If you are choosing between them in a draft, Evan Engram goes slightly earlier based on volume, but do not reach for the difference.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Evan Engram: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #35 at the position). Will Dissly: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Evan Engram is producing at 22% of elite pace and Will Dissly at 18%. That ranking gap means Evan Engram carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Evan Engram vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown

Evan Engram (4.9 PPG) and Will Dissly (3.9 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two tight ends are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Evan Engram played 16 games for the Denver Broncos; Will Dissly suited up 16 times for the Los Angeles Chargers.

A 1.0-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Evan Engram is the volume tight end in this matchup with 50 receptions for 461 yards, while Will Dissly profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (2 scores on 32 catches). In weeks where Will Dissly finds the end zone he out-scores Evan Engram, but the floor gap is real.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Evan Engram sits Week 10 while Will Dissly is off Week 5. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Evan Engram (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Will Dissly (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
