Who Should I Start? Will Dissly or Dawson Knox

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly struggled his way through a rough loss in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans. Dissly was targeted five times, making two catches for 16 yards total. He dropped a pass while completely wide open and also was unable to catch a rather easy pass that he batted and turned into an interception instead. Dissly came on as a solid and reliable high-floor fantasy tight end in the second half of the season, but he was almost solely responsible for a 14-point swing in the most important game of the season for the Chargers. Dissly signed a three-year deal before the season, so he should be expected back with the Bolts, but they'll likely look for a more traditional pass-catching tight end either in free agency or in the draft.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) returned to the practice field on Thursday. Knox landed on the active/non-football injury list to begin training camp with a hamstring injury but was activated by the team on Sunday. In 16 games last season, Knox caught 22 passes for 311 yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old is a key piece for a Buffalo offense that likes to feature multiple-tight end formations, but Knox is clearly behind fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid as a receiver. Unless there's an injury to Kincaid, Knox is unlikely to factor in fantasy during the 2025 season.
