Travis Kelce vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Travis Kelce and Will Dissly is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end put up 9.1 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Will Dissly of the Los Angeles Chargers averaged 3.9 in 16. A 5.2-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 5.2 points favors Travis Kelce, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.

Travis Kelce is the volume tight end in this matchup with 76 receptions for 851 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 Travis Kelce, but the floor gap is real.

Both share a Week 5 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Travis Kelce is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Will Dissly is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Travis Kelce (age 36) 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.
