Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Grant Calcaterra

Saturday, October 11, 2:41 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could be in line for an expanded role in Week 6 with Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against Atlanta. Fantasy managers rostering Kincaid should consider adding Knox as insurance, given the late-game kickoff. A proven red zone threat, Knox would likely step into a larger pass-catching role if Kincaid is ruled out. The veteran tight end posted 517 yards and six touchdowns during his last full season as the primary starter in 2022, earning a Pro Bowl nod. With the Falcons boasting the league's top-ranked pass defense, Josh Allen may lean on his tight ends in short-yardage and scoring situations--making Knox a viable streaming option if he's elevated to TE1 duties in Week 6.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra (oblique) missed another practice on Wednesday and has officially been ruled out for Week 6 on Thursday Night Football against the division-rival New York Giants. Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the loss in Week 5 to the Denver Broncos and will miss at least one game as a result. The good news is that the 26-year-old will have extra time to recover before the team's Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 19. When healthy, Calcaterra isn't really relevant as the No. 2 TE in Philly behind Dallas Goedert. He has four catches for 40 yards and no touchdowns in five games in 2025 after a career-best year in 2024 in which he posted a 24-298-1 line on 30 targets in 17 regular-season games. Expect Kylen Granson to back up Goedert on Thursday night.
