Tyler Conklin vs Will Dissly: The Full Breakdown
Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Tyler Conklin averaged 7.5 PPG across 17 games with the New York Jets, while Will Dissly posted 3.9 PPG in 16 appearances for the Los Angeles Chargers.
A 3.6-PPG gap gives Tyler Conklin 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.
Tyler Conklin is the volume tight end in this matchup with 50 receptions for 525 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 Tyler Conklin, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Tyler Conklin is off Week 12 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.
