Even with Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined in Week 11, Bills TE2 Dawson Knox had a modest outing, recording one catch for 23 yards on three targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid did not practice on either Monday or Tuesday heading into Buffalo's Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans on Thursday night, so Knox could have another chance to be his team's lead tight end. Still, in the two games he's played this season without Kincaid, Knox has recorded two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Expectations for Knox should be limited, but the 29-year-old does have a better chance to find the end zone without Kincaid in the lineup. In the deepest fantasy leagues, Knox could be a low-end streaming option for managers to add off the waiver wire heading into Week 12.

Through nine games this season, Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has recorded 12 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets. However, he could see a significant role increase in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Bills TE1 Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined by a hamstring injury. With Kincaid absent due to injury in Week 6, Knox scored his lone touchdown of 2025. Still, he recorded just one catch for 19 yards on two targets in that game. Tampa Bay has also been fairly stingy against tight ends so far this season, allowing an average of five receptions and 43 yards per game to the position. Even with Kincaid out, Knox will still likely split playing time to some degree with Bills tight end Jackson Hawes. At best, Knox profiles as a desperation deep-league streamer at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Tampa Bay.
Nov 15, 2025 1:01 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is once again rising in the positional rankings as starter Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday. The Bills enter an exciting Week 11 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where scoring should be plentiful. Knox saw four targets against the Dolphins last week, as Kincaid was limited to just 18 plays. The Bills' injury report should be monitored closely, but Knox could be a valuable plug-and-play option if he is forced into the lineup Sunday.
Nov 12, 2025 11:23 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has logged 288 offensive snaps this season, the most on the team at the position. However, that hasn't exactly helped his production. In Knox's eight appearances, he's caught only nine passes (14 targets) for 118 yards. He also has only one touchdown, which occurred in the Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Knox was once a go-to option for quarterback Josh Allen, with the 28-year-old combining for 15 touchdowns in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Unfortunately, he's regressed significantly since the start of the 2023 campaign, finding the end zone only four times. Granted, the 2019 No. 96 overall pick could have a decent fantasy showing at some point before the end of the year. Still, he's tough to trust, especially if Dalton Kincaid is on the field. With that in mind, Knox isn't worth starting in any fantasy format in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins.
Nov 7, 2025 11:59 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could continue to see the bulk of the snap share, as Dalton Kincaid (oblique) remains questionable for Week 8. Despite the increased opportunities, Knox has failed to cash in. The seven-year veteran saw just two targets in their last game, but did haul in a 19-yard touchdown. Knox remains a touchdown-dependent play this week, but with the other weapons on the team, he is hard to trust for fantasy purposes. The Bills will need to limit the Panthers' offense to give the team extra opportunities against a stingy top-10 defense this week.
Oct 25, 2025 2:34 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox found the end zone for the first time this year in Monday night's 24-14 loss to the Falcons. He only had one catch on his two targets, but made it count for a 19-yard score. Knox was in a more prominent role with Dalton Kincaid out. Kincaid was originally listed as questionable due to an oblique injury, but was ruled out before kickoff. Knox has been getting decent playing time but not a ton of targets this season. After Monday's game, he has seven catches for 73 yards in his six games, but he could be a deep league option if Kincaid isn't able to return after the Bills' bye week. Knox has shown he can contribute when in a larger role, but his targets are typically limited when Kincaid is healthy. Since Buffalo is headed to its bye in Week 7, the waiver wire probably has better options available for a short-term solution in most leagues.
Oct 14, 2025 9:43 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could be in line for an expanded role in Week 6 with Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against Atlanta. Fantasy managers rostering Kincaid should consider adding Knox as insurance, given the late-game kickoff. A proven red zone threat, Knox would likely step into a larger pass-catching role if Kincaid is ruled out. The veteran tight end posted 517 yards and six touchdowns during his last full season as the primary starter in 2022, earning a Pro Bowl nod. With the Falcons boasting the league's top-ranked pass defense, Josh Allen may lean on his tight ends in short-yardage and scoring situations--making Knox a viable streaming option if he's elevated to TE1 duties in Week 6.
Oct 11, 2025 2:41 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) returned to the practice field on Thursday. Knox landed on the active/non-football injury list to begin training camp with a hamstring injury but was activated by the team on Sunday. In 16 games last season, Knox caught 22 passes for 311 yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old is a key piece for a Buffalo offense that likes to feature multiple-tight end formations, but Knox is clearly behind fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid as a receiver. Unless there's an injury to Kincaid, Knox is unlikely to factor in fantasy during the 2025 season.
Jul 31, 2025 2:33 PM EST
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was activated off the active/non-football injury list on Sunday. The veteran was dealing with a hamstring injury. Fortunately, his stint on the shelf didn't last too long. The 28-year-old has spent his entire career in Buffalo, totaling 193 catches (299 targets) for 2,277 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was once one of the most productive tight ends in the National Football League. However, since combining for 15 touchdowns during the 2021 and 2022 campaigns, Knox has only found the end zone three times in the last two seasons. Although Dalton Kincaid has had his share of struggles, he's still the No. 1 tight end on the depth chart. While that doesn't necessarily mean Knox won't get looks from Josh Allen, he likely won't be consistent enough to warrant starting consideration in any fantasy format.
Jul 27, 2025 6:19 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) was absent from Wednesday's practice. Bills head coach Sean McDermott declined to offer a timetable for his return, saying the team is taking it "one day at a time." The 28-year-old was placed on the active/non-football injury list on Tuesday, but can be activated anytime. Knox appeared in 16 games last season (13 starts), totaling 311 receiving yards on 22 catches and scoring once. With Dalton Kincaid continuing to emerge as a featured weapon in Buffalo's offense, Knox will need to make the most of his reps once healthy to maintain a significant role in 2025.
Jul 23, 2025 2:46 PM EST
The Buffalo Bills placed tight end Dawson Knox (undisclosed) on the Non-Football Injury list on Tuesday, per KPRC's Aaron Wilson. It's unclear exactly what Knox is dealing with, but he will not be on the field with the rest of the Bills players for the start of training camp this week. The 28-year-old was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2022, but that was before Dalton Kincaid entered the mix. In the last two seasons, Knox has been more of an afterthought in Buffalo's offense, catching 44 of his 69 targets for 497 yards and three touchdowns in 28 regular-season games (24 starts). He was better last year than he was in 2023, but Kincaid is likely to see more targets from quarterback Josh Allen if he's healthy going forward. When healthy, Knox will continue to see playing time, but he probably won't be a realistic TE1 unless Kincaid misses time with an injury.
Jul 22, 2025 5:40 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox hasn't been able to much on the field this season. In fact, Knox has two receptions or less in each of the last five games. The 28-year-old is now the backup tight end with Dalton Kincaid emerging as the top option in Buffalo. Knox has fallen back on the pecking order with the Bills having a handful of viable receiving options. That being said, Knox won't be much of a fantasy option for the Week 18 matchup against the New England Patriots. Possibly, Knox gets more chances if the Bills rest some starters, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help this weekend.
Jan 5, 2025 9:37 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox should not be relied upon for fantasy purposes this weekend when his team lines up against the New York Jets. The 28-year-old is back to a low-volume role in Buffalo's offense with the return of fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid. Since his return in Week 15, Kincaid has racked up eight receptions on 14 targets, to Knox's four catches on five looks. It'd be one thing if the second-year pro were out-producing him on a larger share of snaps, but Knox has led the duo in that regard over that stretch. On top of his diminished role, the Jets are giving up the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2024 (10.6) -- further hampering his chances at a viable fantasy output. The Ole Miss product ranks as RotoBaller's PPR TE34 ahead of Week 17's slate.
Dec 28, 2024 5:09 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox expects to share snaps and targets with fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) in Week 15 as the latter returns from injury. Knox played over 80% of the snaps in two of three games with Kincaid sidelined (the other was the snow game against San Francisco). Knox totaled seven receptions for 101 yards and zero touchdowns in those games. Josh Allen should have his full roster of receiving weapons against the Lions. That removes Knox from the tight-end streaming conversation. He should be on waiver wires for the start of the fantasy playoffs.
Dec 13, 2024 5:02 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox only caught one pass on one target for five yards in a narrow loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old was Buffalo's primary tight end with Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined. Knox and running back James Cook were the only Bills starters who did not benefit from a 42-point Buffalo bonanza. Knox hasn't been getting many looks despite Kincaid's extended three-game absence. Kincaid should be nearing a return. Knox should not be started next week against a rugged Detroit defense.
Dec 8, 2024 9:15 PM EST
Dawson Knox's time as a full-time starter may be coming to a close. The Buffalo Bills tight end has been atop the team's depth chart with Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined for the last two games. Kincaid has returned to limited participation in practice and is questionable on Sunday against the Rams. If he is inactive again, Knox will be Josh Allen's primary tight end target. However, he shouldn't be started in fantasy football. Knox has totaled six receptions for 96 yards and zero touchdowns in the two games without Kincaid.
Dec 6, 2024 9:17 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox led the team with 56 receiving yards on only two catches (two targets) in the 35-10 blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers at Orchard Park on a snowy Sunday night. Players on both sides of the ball looked like they were on ice skates during a snowstorm that basically lasted the entire game. While Knox was only targeted twice, he made the most of his work and was the only Buffalo player to go over 30 receiving yards in a run-heavy game script. The 28-year-old's season-high 56 yards also came with second-year TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) missing his second straight game due to injury. In the last two weeks with Kincaid sidelined, Kincaid's production has gone up, catching six of eight targets for 96 receiving yards. Knox's Week 14 fantasy value will all depend on whether Kincaid is able to return.
Dec 2, 2024 12:48 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox will be atop the depth chart on Sunday night when the team hosts the San Francisco 49ers. Starter Dalton Kincaid (knee) will be inactive for the second consecutive game. Knox logged a season-high mark in targets (six) and receptions (four) for 40 yards in place of Kincaid before the team's bye week. The 49ers are the sixth-best defense against fantasy football tight ends this season. With all 32 teams in action, Knox is outside of streaming consideration.
Nov 30, 2024 12:41 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox caught four passes for 40 yards in the team's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Knox started and operated as Buffalo's top tight end with Dalton Kincaid (knee) inactive. That resulted in a season-high mark for receptions and targets (six). His stat line provided a respectable fantasy score for managers who streamed the position. Buffalo will take their bye week in Week 12. When they return to action, Kincaid may be healthy enough to play. Knox can be dropped in most leagues.
Nov 18, 2024 12:59 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox will be the team's go-to tight end this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dalton Kincaid (knee) will be inactive. Despite logging just 10 receptions this season, the 28-year-old is in the streaming conversation. He's had explosive weeks in the past and the matchup is fantastic. Defending the tight end position is the weakness of the Kansas City defense. The unit allows the second-most fantasy points and most yards to the position. Fantasy managers needing help at tight end should be able to find Knox on the waiver wire and plug him into lineups.
