Dawson Knox has Stash Value

Friday, July 10, 10:45 AM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox signed a new three-year extension with the organization this offseason. It was a bit surprising to see the Bills commit to a three-year deal with Knox, but it goes to show how much they value him on this roster. Knox is coming off a decent season in 2025. He recorded 36 receptions, 417 receiving yards, and four touchdowns across 17 games last season. Those aren't bad numbers for someone who is stuck behind Dalton Kincaid on the depth chart. The expectation is that Knox will continue being the primary backup tight end in Buffalo. He should be considered a touchdown-dependent TE2 while Kincaid is healthy. Dynasty managers who don't have a ton of depth at tight end should consider stashing Knox. The 29-year-old is capable of making plays when given the chance, but unfortunately, his opportunities are limited.

Jackson Hawes Could See Minor Role Increase if Kincaid Misses Week 6

Saturday, October 11, 2:49 PM

Buffalo Bills rookie tight end Jackson Hawes could see a small uptick in opportunities if Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is ruled out ahead of Monday night's matchup against Atlanta. The fifth-round pick has appeared in every game this season but has been used sparingly in the passing game, seeing just four targets through five weeks--hauling in all of them. While Hawes' strong blocking skills have earned him steady snaps, he remains a distant option in Buffalo's offensive pecking order. Even with a potential increase in playing time, his fantasy value is negligible, and he should be avoided in all formats unless his role expands dramatically in the coming weeks.
