Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Noah Gray

Sunday, December 28, 3:35 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. The 29-year-old will take on a larger workload this Sunday with Dalton Kincaid (knee) inactive. In the four games that Kincaid has missed this season, Knox totaled eight catches, 87 yards, and one touchdown. Even with his increased role in a high-powered offense, he's not a must-start tight end. He ranks in the mid-to-low TE2 tier for this week.

After a career year in 2024, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray hasn't played a major role in the offense in 2025. Gray has totalled 18 catches (32 targets) for 148 yards in 15 games this season and has yet to find the end zone after scoring five times last year. The 26-year-old's lowest snap share in a game this season was 32.3% in Week 12, so the veteran was still a part of the Chiefs offense, but he has only been targeted on 13% of his routes, down from 16% last year. The Chiefs' pass-catching situation was much more dire in 2024 than in 2025, with Rashee Rice back in the mix for most of the season, which in part led to the dip in production for Gray. However, with plenty of rumors surrounding the possibility of legendary tight end Travis Kelce retiring at the end of the season, Gray could be stepping into a starting role in 2026, which would be a big boost to his fantasy value.
