Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Harold Fannin Jr.

Saturday, December 27, 11:00 AM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Knox was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday but returned on a limited basis on Friday, opening the door for him to play this week. Knox cooled off last week, hauling in just one pass for 10 yards against the Cleveland Browns, which ended his two-game production surge. The matchup is almost as tough as they come, as the Eagles have given up the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. With Dalton Kincaid (knee) also questionable entering Week 17, Knox could be more of a focal point against the Eagles, but he's still a risky TE2 given his injury and the tough matchup.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) is expected to play on Sunday despite being listed as questionable. Fannin suffered a groin injury during Friday's practice session but told reporters that he expects to be cleared to face the Steelers. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his status, but it appears the 21-year-old has avoided a major injury. Over the last four weeks, Fannin has taken a significant step forward in his development and has emerged as a weekly TE1 for fantasy. During this four-game stretch, the Bowling Green product has averaged an impressive 17.5 PPR points per game with 9.0 targets per game. With David Njoku (knee) already ruled out, Fannin should see another hefty target share if cleared to suit up.
