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

Tuesday, October 14, 9:43 AM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox found the end zone for the first time this year in Monday night's 24-14 loss to the Falcons. He only had one catch on his two targets, but made it count for a 19-yard score. Knox was in a more prominent role with Dalton Kincaid out. Kincaid was originally listed as questionable due to an oblique injury, but was ruled out before kickoff. Knox has been getting decent playing time but not a ton of targets this season. After Monday's game, he has seven catches for 73 yards in his six games, but he could be a deep league option if Kincaid isn't able to return after the Bills' bye week. Knox has shown he can contribute when in a larger role, but his targets are typically limited when Kincaid is healthy. Since Buffalo is headed to its bye in Week 7, the waiver wire probably has better options available for a short-term solution in most leagues.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. is coming off the best game of his young career in Week 6 at Pittsburgh, catching seven of ten targets for 81 yards. Fannin could be set up for even more targets with David Njoku (knee) leaving Sunday's game early and missing Wednesday's practice. The rookie trailed only wideout Jerry Jeudy for the team lead in targets and looks to be building a rapport with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel on some of these underneath routes. Fannin's three highest games by snap share have come in the past three weeks, and he could be a focal point of their passing attack in Week 7 against Miami. He would rank as an upside TE1 if Njoku is unable to play.
