Dawson Knox News
Thursday, August 20, 11:06 AM
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox still has a real role in this offense, and Buffalo made that pretty clear by keeping him under contract through 2028. Fantasy is another story. Knox caught 36 passes for 417 yards and four touchdowns last season on just 49 targets. Every one of those scores came from inside the 20, which tells you where most of the appeal is coming from. The Bills are still using him there, too. Josh Allen targeted Knox on back-to-back red-zone plays during an Aug. 3 practice, with Knox scoring on a screen. Dalton Kincaid was heavily involved that day as well and has looked healthy throughout camp after knee and hamstring trouble last season. Buffalo picked up Kincaid's fifth-year option, and he remains the tougher obstacle to Knox seeing a real jump in targets. Knox can absolutely pop for a week when Allen finds him near the goal line. But 49 targets across 17 games is hard to draft around. He's still a touchdown-dependent TE2, not a sleeper.

Elijah Arroyo News
Monday, August 24, 5:13 AM
Second-year tight end Elijah Arroyo caught the final two passes of Seattle's opening drive in Sunday night's preseason matchup with the Titans, quickly moving the Seahawks from midfield into the end zone. Arroyo caught a 14-yard pass from quarterback Drew Lock on a play designed to motion him into space before the two connected on a 36-yard touchdown strike on the next play. After catching only 15 passes as a rookie, Arroyo has been a training camp standout for the defending Super Bowl champions, and he could find the field frequently in Seattle's tight end-heavy offense, potentially pushing 2025 breakout AJ Barner for some of the more valuable opportunities at the position. With the NFL trending toward more 12 and 13 personnel usage, there is no shortage of draftable fantasy tight ends, so Arroyo is not a player who needs to be targeted as RotoBaller's TE46, but if he can carry the momentum of a solid summer into the regular season, he could quickly work his way into the streaming conversation.
