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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of the team's Week 8 road outing against the Seattle Seahawks. The 27-year-old picked up an ankle injury during the Bills' 34-10 dismantling of the Tennessee Titans last Sunday but was still able to log 31 snaps (56%). Despite beginning the week tagged with a DNP, Knox upgraded his participation over the ensuing two practices -- culminating with a full session on Friday. He'll now head into Week 8 without a designation. It's fantastic news for the Bills, as they'll now have both starting tight ends available Sunday, with Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) also off the injury report. Look for them to garner their usual snap counts in their primary roles against one of the better pass defenses in the league on a per-play basis.
Oct 25, 2024 3:33 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight ends Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) and Dawson Knox (ankle) were both listed as limited practice participants on Thursday. Kincaid was wearing a non-contact jersey for the second straight day, while Knox made his return to practice after skipping Wednesday's session. Fantasy managers will want to check back for Buffalo's final injury report on Friday, but it's trending toward both Kincaid and Knox being active for the Bills for their Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field this Sunday. Kincaid hasn't broken out yet in 2024 in his second season like many had expected, but he's still worth low-end TE1 consideration on a weekly basis because of the lack of depth at the TE position. He currently ranks as the TE13 in half-PPR scoring and will face a Seattle defense that has been a top-10 matchup for opposing TEs on a weekly basis through seven weeks.
Oct 24, 2024 6:20 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight ends Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) and Dawson Knox (ankle) were officially listed as limited and DNP for the team's first practice of the week. Both TEs played their typical allotment of snaps in Sunday's home victory over the Tennessee Titans. However, they both came away from the contest a little dinged up. While Kincaid's collarbone issue doesn't seem like it will keep him from action, Knox's lack of participation isn't a boon for his status this coming Sunday. The latter dealt with an ankle injury during the preseason, though it's unclear if this recent ailment has afflicted the same side of the body. If the 27-year-old can't suit up for the Bills' Week 8 road tilt against the Seattle Seahawks, the second-year TE figures to see an elevated snap count. It's a situation to monitor over the coming days.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (ankle, groin) did not take part in Thursday's training camp practice due to a pair of injuries. Because of the fact that Knox isn't practicing late in the week, he's unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers as a precaution. There's no indication that his injuries are serious enough to put his availability in question for the Week 1 regular-season opener. The 27-year-old's fantasy stock took a huge hit last year with the addition of rookie Dalton Kincaid. Knox will still have a key role in Buffalo's offense in 2024, but as long as Kincaid stays healthy, he's going to take a clear back seat as a pass-catcher at the tight end position. The former third-rounder in 2019 out of Mississippi had a career-low 22 catches for 186 yards and two scores in 2023 and should stay on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues unless Kincaid gets hurt.
Aug 15, 2024 1:52 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (groin, rest) didn't suit up for Sunday's practice session. Head coach Sean McDermott said that this was a rest day for the veteran tight end. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as Knox has been dealing with a groin issue as well. Knox is looking for a bounce back campaign after a rough 2023 season. He finished with 22 receptions for 186 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games last season. Before that, Knox had two straight seasons with 45-plus catches and over 500 yards each season. The Bills lost a few offensive contributors this offseason which could possibly lead to more targets for Knox. However, the arrival of Dalton Kincaid could continue putting Knox on the backburner.
Aug 4, 2024 6:36 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox likely knows a reduced role is on the way again for him in 2024, although he is a favorite of quarterback Josh Allen's in the locker room, so it remains to be seen how much he'll be on the sidelines in favor of second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid. Allen may need to rely on Kincaid more to pick up a big amount of slack to keep the offense moving with an unproven receiver unit this year. Buffalo moved away from heavy usage of 12 personnel early in 2023 and mostly settled into 11 personnel. If that's the plan again in 2024, it will be interesting to see how they divvy up the snaps between Kincaid and Knox. Either way, unless Kincaid misses time with an injury, it's going to be hard to justify starting Knox outside of two-TE leagues.
May 9, 2024 2:36 PM EST
The Buffalo Bills and tight end Dawson Knox agreed to a reworked contract on Monday that lessens his $14.4 million salary cap hit in 2024, according to a source. Knox is going into Year 2 of a four-year, $52 million contract extension with the Bills. After the team drafted Dalton Kincaid last year, Knox's fantasy value took a huge hit. The 27-year-old former third-round selection in 2019 out of Mississippi caught a career-low 22 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns on 36 targets in 12 regular-season games in 2023. Knox had career-highs in receiving yards (587) and touchdowns (nine) in 2021, but coming anywhere close to those numbers is out the window now as long as Kincaid stays healthy and Knox remains in Buffalo.
Mar 11, 2024 1:17 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he was removed from the injury report on Friday and will be active for Monday's Super Wild Card Weekend game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Knox played second fiddle to impressive rookie Dalton Kincaid throughout the regular season, and that's unlikely to change during the postseason. 2023 was easily the 27-year-old former Pro Bowler's weakest statistical campaign, averaging 1.8 receptions for 15.5 yards (8.5 yards per catch) with two total touchdowns over 12 games. Even with starting wideout Gabe Davis (knee) sidelined on Monday coupled with a cheap $2,900 DraftKings salary, it's not enough to make Knox relevant outside of single-game DFS showdowns as a TD-dependent dart throw. Unless you're searching for a contrarian option, Knox should be avoided.
Jan 14, 2024 1:45 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (illness) came down with an illness on Thursday and did not practice with the rest of the team. Knox still has a few more days to get ready for Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but he could end up with a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report. Since returning from a wrist injury in Week 14, Knox caught seven of his eight targets for 88 yards and one touchdown in five games. He only played over 50 percent of the offensive snaps in one of those five games and will most likely continue to cede playing time to rookie Dalton Kincaid in the playoffs if he's feeling better by Sunday's game. Kincaid is the much better DFS lineup option, especially if receiver Gabe Davis (knee) is unable to play against Pittsburgh.
Jan 11, 2024 7:16 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in the team's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran missed the previous five games with a wrist injury. In his return, he logged his lowest snap count (47%) of the 2023 season. Dalton Kincaid continued to earn starter-level snaps, targets (8), and catches (5), although Knox outpaced the rookie in yards. Now a part-time player, Knox isn't worth rostering in redraft formats. He won't be on fantasy radars when the Bills host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15.
Dec 11, 2023 9:55 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (wrist) is officially active for Week 14 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after being activated from IR on Saturday. Given that Dalton Kincaid has emerged as the Bills' clear No. 1 tight end, Knox can't be trusted in fantasy football.
