Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or Dawson Knox

Thursday, July 17, 2:08 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams, who was recently placed on the training-camp PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, is retiring from the NFL after eight seasons. The 30-year-old entered the NFL as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Chargers following a stellar career at Clemson. He spent the first seven seasons of his pro career with L.A. before playing for the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Overall, Williams tallied 330 receptions for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. He hangs up his cleats with two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. Known as a big-play threat, his impact diminished later in his career as he aged and dealt with injury. While he was unlikely to be a significant factor for the Chargers this year, his departure gives Quentin Johnston more breathing room after a slow start to his NFL career.

Through nine games this season, Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has recorded 12 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets. However, he could see a significant role increase in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Bills TE1 Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined by a hamstring injury. With Kincaid absent due to injury in Week 6, Knox scored his lone touchdown of 2025. Still, he recorded just one catch for 19 yards on two targets in that game. Tampa Bay has also been fairly stingy against tight ends so far this season, allowing an average of five receptions and 43 yards per game to the position. Even with Kincaid out, Knox will still likely split playing time to some degree with Bills tight end Jackson Hawes. At best, Knox profiles as a desperation deep-league streamer at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Tampa Bay.
