Fantasy Tiers

Mason Taylor: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) TE (ranked #34 at the position). Will Dissly: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Mason Taylor is producing at 23% of elite pace and Will Dissly at 18%. That ranking gap means Mason Taylor carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Mason Taylor vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Mason Taylor finished the 2025 season at 5.1 PPG over 13 games with the New York Jets, while Will Dissly clocked in at 3.9 across 16 appearances for the Los Angeles Chargers. A 1.2-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Mason Taylor had 44 catches for 369 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: Mason Taylor is off Week 13 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

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: Mason Taylor (age 22) 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.
