Who Should I Start? Dawson Knox or Tanner Conner

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.

In the TE3 range for Week 9, Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner should not be considered a starting option when Miami takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. The fourth-year tight end is playing more with Darren Waller (pectoral) on injured reserve, but isn't earning nearly enough work in the passing game to be relied upon in a fantasy lineup. Despite Waller missing significant chunks of the season, Conner has played more than half of Miami's snaps only once in eight weeks and has yet to catch more than two passes in a game this season. As Miami leans on receiver Jaylen Waddle, running back De'Von Achane, and receiver Malik Washington for the majority of its targets, there isn't enough receiving opportunity for Conner to be a fantasy option.
