Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Pat Freiermuth

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth logged three receptions for 15 yards on four targets in a Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Freiermuth, who was incredibly productive to close the regular season, wasn't very involved on Saturday night as the Steelers struggled to move the ball for much of the contest. He was given an opportunity on Pittsburgh's first play from scrimmage but unfortunately dropped the pass. The fourth-year pro was signed to a lucrative extension in 2024 and will head into the 2025-2026 campaign as one of the team's featured pass-catchers. For fantasy purposes, Freiermuth's value going forward will largely depend on who is under center for the Steelers with Russell Wilson entering free agency this offseason.
