Dawson Knox Could Be Buffalo's Lead Tight End Again in Week 12

Tuesday, November 18, 9:12 PM

Even with Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined in Week 11, Bills TE2 Dawson Knox had a modest outing, recording one catch for 23 yards on three targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kincaid did not practice on either Monday or Tuesday heading into Buffalo's Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans on Thursday night, so Knox could have another chance to be his team's lead tight end. Still, in the two games he's played this season without Kincaid, Knox has recorded two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Expectations for Knox should be limited, but the 29-year-old does have a better chance to find the end zone without Kincaid in the lineup. In the deepest fantasy leagues, Knox could be a low-end streaming option for managers to add off the waiver wire heading into Week 12.

Jalen Nailor Looks For More After Breakout Week

Friday, November 14, 6:41 PM

Coming off a career-best day in Week 10, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor is tough to trust in Week 11 with a fluctuating pass-catching role. The fourth-year pro broke out for 124 yards and a touchdown on only five catches last week against Baltimore, which bested fellow wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. The Vikings consistently praise Nailor, who has a proven history of being a quality run blocker, special teamer, and making big catches when called upon. While first-time starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy seems to trust Nailor, his receiving workload hasn't been consistent enough to rely upon in most leagues. Nailor had three catches in the three weeks prior to his career day, and even against a lowly ranked Bears defense, he should be saved only for leagues with three-plus flex spots.
