Noah Fant vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown

Noah Fant (4.4 PPG) and Will Dissly (3.9 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025.

A 0.5-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.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Noah Fant had 34 catches for 288 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.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Noah Fant sits Week 6 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.
