Who Should I Start? Eric Ebron or Dawson Knox

Wednesday, December 4, 2:50 PM

Tight end Eric Ebron announced his official retirement from the NFL on Wednesday. Ebron was the 10th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions out of North Carolina. He played four seasons in Detroit, two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, and two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He last appeared in a game in 2021. Overall, Ebron accumulated 351 receptions on 561 targets for 3,837 receiving yards, and 33 receiving touchdowns (13 in 2018). He added three scores as a rusher.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox hasn't been able to much on the field this season. In fact, Knox has two receptions or less in each of the last five games. The 28-year-old is now the backup tight end with Dalton Kincaid emerging as the top option in Buffalo. Knox has fallen back on the pecking order with the Bills having a handful of viable receiving options. That being said, Knox won't be much of a fantasy option for the Week 18 matchup against the New England Patriots. Possibly, Knox gets more chances if the Bills rest some starters, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help this weekend.
