Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Noah Gray

Wednesday, July 23, 2:46 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) was absent from Wednesday's practice. Bills head coach Sean McDermott declined to offer a timetable for his return, saying the team is taking it "one day at a time." The 28-year-old was placed on the active/non-football injury list on Tuesday, but can be activated anytime. Knox appeared in 16 games last season (13 starts), totaling 311 receiving yards on 22 catches and scoring once. With Dalton Kincaid continuing to emerge as a featured weapon in Buffalo's offense, Knox will need to make the most of his reps once healthy to maintain a significant role in 2025.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray is a low-floor desperation play in this Sunday's Conference Championship bout with the Buffalo Bills. Gray had a stretch of four games in the middle of the season when he snagged four touchdowns and nabbed at least four passes per contest. However, he's since caught just eight balls while seeing his snap percentage drop roughly 10-20% per outing. The drop in playing time coincides with the return of wide receiver Marquise Brown, so it makes sense that the 25-year-old has had his work cut some. He'll still be eligible to catch a short-area TD or two, but by and large, is tough to trust from a volume standpoint in a passing attack that hasn't been all that effective this season. Gray can be safely avoided for fantasy purposes, even in a game that should feature a healthy amount of points.
