Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Drew Sample

Sunday, July 27, 6:19 PM

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.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample caught all four of his targets for 14 yards on Saturday in his team's 19-17 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Though the yardage total wasn't anything to write home about, the veteran tight end tied a season high in catches. More importantly, Cincinnati's offense did just enough to earn a fifth straight victory that kept its playoff hopes alive for another day. Whether Sample and the Bengals get a shot in the Wild Card round will come down to Week 18, when Cincy needs both Denver and Miami to lose.
