Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Dawson Knox

Saturday, November 8, 12:12 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has not eclipsed 30 receiving yards in any contest this season and will face a tough test against the Los Angeles Chargers this week. The Chargers' defense has been solid across the board, limiting opposing tight ends to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. On the bright side, Smith did earn five targets last week, tied for the second-most on the team. He could be equally or more involved in what's projected to be a close matchup on Sunday night, but it's hard to trust him with both Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington also earning opportunities. Smith checks in as the TE26 in RotoBaller's Week 10 rankings and should be avoided in most formats.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is once again rising in the positional rankings as starter Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday. The Bills enter an exciting Week 11 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where scoring should be plentiful. Knox saw four targets against the Dolphins last week, as Kincaid was limited to just 18 plays. The Bills' injury report should be monitored closely, but Knox could be a valuable plug-and-play option if he is forced into the lineup Sunday.
