The Bottom Line

Brenton Strange is the better fantasy play this season.

Brenton Strange has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 4.0-PPG advantage is real (7.9 to 3.9), and Brenton Strange's 3 touchdowns show scoring upside. Will Dissly is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Brenton Strange is producing at 36% of elite pace and Will Dissly at 18%. That ranking gap means Brenton Strange carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Brenton Strange vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown

Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Brenton Strange (Jacksonville Jaguars) finished the 2025 season averaging 7.9 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Will Dissly (Los Angeles Chargers) came in at 3.9 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Brenton Strange carries a 4.0-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brenton Strange had 46 catches for 540 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: Brenton Strange is off Week 7 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

If you can acquire Brenton Strange at a discount because your league-mates undervalue tight end production, do it. Will Dissly is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Brenton Strange (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Will Dissly (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
