Dawson Knox a Viable Option Against Browns

Saturday, December 20, 11:02 AM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox caught three of four targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in the 35-31 victory over the New England Patriots. Despite Dalton Kincaid's return in Week 14, Knox has dominated, totaling 130 yards and two touchdowns over his past two games. Knox played 70% of the snaps in Week 15, while Kincaid played only 34%. With his connection to star quarterback Josh Allen, Knox has starting value in Week 16. He faces a Browns defense that ranks middle-of-the-pack against tight ends this season. The door is open for Knox to have another big outing in Week 16, but he remains a low-end option with Kincaid in the picture.

Colston Loveland a Low-End TE1 Against Packers

Friday, December 19, 9:57 PM

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland hauled in four of five targets for 63 yards in the dominant 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Loveland had his second-best showing of the 2025 season in Week 15, and injuries across the Bears' receiving room put Loveland in a good spot entering this week. Both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 16, which could cause the Bears to rely on two-TE sets much more often this week. The Packers have been strong against tight ends this season, allowing the fifth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends this season. While the rookie tight end is in a prime position to have a big outing against the Packers, he's still a low-end TE1 in Week 16 who carries a ton of risk in this Bears system.
