Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Brock Bowers

Tuesday, December 2, 2:41 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was on the field for 53 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Steelers, a team-high amongst all non-QB skill position players. His four targets also tied for the team lead on a day in which Josh Allen attempted only 23 total passes. Unfortunately, Knox finished the day with only three catches for 28 yards. He has not scored a touchdown since Week 6, and despite playing the past three games with a combination of a benched Keon Coleman and an injured Dalton Kincaid, he has averaged 2.3 receptions for 22.7 yards. With Kincaid able to return to practice on a limited basis last week, there is an expectation that he could be back for the Bills' Week 14 matchup with the Bengals, officially closing the window on any streaming consideration for Knox.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is coming off an awesome two-touchdown game against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. Bowers hauled in all four of his targets for 63 yards and two trips to the end zone in the loss. This marked the first time that Bowers has scored a touchdown since Week 9. Fantasy managers are finally getting the elite tight end that they drafted at the beginning of the season. The expectation is that Bowers will see heavy usage this weekend. The Raiders only have three healthy wide receivers, so there's not a ton of competition for Bowers. The 22-year-old is by far the best receiving option on the team. He was held in check during his last outing versus the Denver Broncos in Week 10, catching one of three targets for 31 yards. Bowers will seek revenge in a home matchup this weekend. Fantasy managers should plug in Bowers as a high-end TE1 for this weekend.
