Dawson Knox Activated off Active/NFI List

Sunday, July 27, 6:19 PM

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was activated off the active/non-football injury list on Sunday. The veteran was dealing with a hamstring injury. Fortunately, his stint on the shelf didn't last too long. The 28-year-old has spent his entire career in Buffalo, totaling 193 catches (299 targets) for 2,277 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was once one of the most productive tight ends in the National Football League. However, since combining for 15 touchdowns during the 2021 and 2022 campaigns, Knox has only found the end zone three times in the last two seasons. Although Dalton Kincaid has had his share of struggles, he's still the No. 1 tight end on the depth chart. While that doesn't necessarily mean Knox won't get looks from Josh Allen, he likely won't be consistent enough to warrant starting consideration in any fantasy format.

Juwan Johnson Suffers Undisclosed Injury

Wednesday, July 30, 12:08 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (undisclosed) suffered an undisclosed injury during training camp practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kellen Moore. The Saints will provide an update on Johnson's injury on Thursday. The Saints are dangerously thin at the tight end position with both Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list, so they will be hoping that Johnson's injury isn't very serious. If he's out for a while, the Saints would be left with rookie Moliki Matavao, Seth Green and Jack Stoll. The 28-year-old Johnson re-signed in New Orleans for three years and $30.75 million after setting career-highs in catches (50), targets (66) and receiving yards (548) in 2024, but he found the end zone only three times. If Johnson's injury isn't serious, he should be the Saints' top pass-catching TE to begin the season, but he shouldn't be considered anything more than a TE2 in fantasy.
