Fantasy Tiers

George Kittle: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #3 at the position). Will Dissly: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position).

George Kittle vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown

The numbers tell a clear story here. George Kittle put up 12.1 fantasy points per game for the San Francisco 49ers in 2025, while Will Dissly managed 3.9 across 16 games with the Los Angeles Chargers. A 8.2-point weekly edge is substantial at the tight end position.

A 8.2-PPG gap gives George Kittle 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.

George Kittle is the volume tight end in this matchup with 57 receptions for 628 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 George Kittle, but the floor gap is real.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: George Kittle sits Week 8 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

If you can acquire George Kittle 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: George Kittle (age 32) 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.
