Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Tanner Conner

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could continue to see the bulk of the snap share, as Dalton Kincaid (oblique) remains questionable for Week 8. Despite the increased opportunities, Knox has failed to cash in. The seven-year veteran saw just two targets in their last game, but did haul in a 19-yard touchdown. Knox remains a touchdown-dependent play this week, but with the other weapons on the team, he is hard to trust for fantasy purposes. The Bills will need to limit the Panthers' offense to give the team extra opportunities against a stingy top-10 defense this week.

Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner could suddenly be thrust into a larger role this week for the Dolphins after Darren Waller (pectoral) landed on IR and Julian Hill (ankle) was also ruled out for the team's Week 8 matchup with the Falcons. Conner played about 50% of snaps in the first few weeks of the season when Waller was out, but has had a reduced role since then. He had two catches for 20 yards back in Week 1, and he snagged a season-best 28-yard grab last week against the Browns. He has flashed a little upside, but how he'll deal with all the extra work is uncertain, especially in a tough matchup against the Falcons. Conner is a high-risk, speculative pickup, but his expected bump in playing time makes him worth monitoring and considering as a desperation play this week.
