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

Friday, November 7, 11:59 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has logged 288 offensive snaps this season, the most on the team at the position. However, that hasn't exactly helped his production. In Knox's eight appearances, he's caught only nine passes (14 targets) for 118 yards. He also has only one touchdown, which occurred in the Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Knox was once a go-to option for quarterback Josh Allen, with the 28-year-old combining for 15 touchdowns in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Unfortunately, he's regressed significantly since the start of the 2023 campaign, finding the end zone only four times. Granted, the 2019 No. 96 overall pick could have a decent fantasy showing at some point before the end of the year. Still, he's tough to trust, especially if Dalton Kincaid is on the field. With that in mind, Knox isn't worth starting in any fantasy format in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) is officially active on Sunday as the team takes on the New York Jets in Week 10. Fannin was added to this week's injury report after not practicing on Thursday, and he entered Sunday's game with a questionable tag. The 21-year-old should remain in starting fantasy lineups in a plus matchup against a Jets team that lost two of their best playmakers at the trade deadline on Tuesday in defensive lineman Quinnen Williams and cornerback Sauce Gardner. Fannin comes into Sunday's tilt with team highs in catches (38), receiving yards (352), and targets (51) while also scoring twice to begin his NFL career. His fantasy ceiling is a bit capped with David Njoku also being involved, but at the very least, Fannin should be considered a low-end TE2 for fantasy managers now that he's officially playing.
