Dawson Knox News
Tuesday, March 10, 7:39 AM
The Buffalo Bills and Pro Bowl tight end Dawson Knox agreed to a new, undisclosed three-year contract on Tuesday, sources told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Knox was a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career back in 2022, when he caught 48 of 65 targets for 517 yards and six touchdowns in 15 starts. The 29-year-old has been much less intriguing for fantasy football purposes since the Bills drafted Dalton Kincaid in the first round in 2023. In the last three seasons with Knox sharing playing time with Kincaid, the 29-year-old has totaled 80 receptions on 118 targets for 914 yards and seven total touchdowns in 45 games (36 starts). Knox still has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen and is a key red-zone asset in the passing game, but unless Kincaid misses time with an injury in 2026, Knox will merely be a touchdown-dependent TE2 with limited upside.

Isaiah Likely News
Friday, June 12, 9:56 AM
New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely, who followed head coach John Harbaugh over from the Baltimore Ravens this offseason, was quarterback Jaxson Dart's "favorite target in open practices this spring," according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. The athletic tight end was dangerous on crossing routes, and his needle is pointing firmly up in fantasy football as the 2026 season nears. The 26-year-old former fourth-round pick of the Ravens in 2022 out of Coastal Carolina never had more than 477 yards in his four seasons in Baltimore, but he should be a featured piece of the Giants' offense after he saw a career-low 36 targets in 2025. Duggan writes that the G-Men gave Likely a three-year, $40 million contract based on the projection that he "will thrive" after spending the last four years in Mark Andrews' shadow. We should expect the Giants to "manufacture touches for Likely on screens." RotoBaller has likely ranked as the No. 12 fantasy TE right now, and if receiver Malik Nabers (knee) isn't ready for the start of the season, Likely's role will be even bigger early on.
