Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox hasn't been able to do 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 in 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. However, it's possible that Knox gets more chances with the Bills expected to rest some of their starters, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help this weekend.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox should not be relied upon for fantasy purposes this weekend when his team lines up against the New York Jets. The 28-year-old is back to a low-volume role in Buffalo's offense with the return of fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid. Since his return in Week 15, Kincaid has racked up eight receptions on 14 targets, to Knox's four catches on five looks. It'd be one thing if the second-year pro were out-producing him on a larger share of snaps, but Knox has led the duo in that regard over that stretch. On top of his diminished role, the Jets are giving up the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2024 (10.6) -- further hampering his chances at a viable fantasy output. The Ole Miss product ranks as RotoBaller's PPR TE34 ahead of Week 17's slate.
Dawson Knox Returns To Secondary Role Against Detroit
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox expects to share snaps and targets with fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) in Week 15 as the latter returns from injury. Knox played over 80% of the snaps in two of three games with Kincaid sidelined (the other was the snow game against San Francisco). Knox totaled seven receptions for 101 yards and zero touchdowns in those games. Josh Allen should have his full roster of receiving weapons against the Lions. That removes Knox from the tight-end streaming conversation. He should be on waiver wires for the start of the fantasy playoffs.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox only caught one pass on one target for five yards in a narrow loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old was Buffalo's primary tight end with Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined. Knox and running back James Cook were the only Bills starters who did not benefit from a 42-point Buffalo bonanza. Knox hasn't been getting many looks despite Kincaid's extended three-game absence. Kincaid should be nearing a return. Knox should not be started next week against a rugged Detroit defense.
Dawson Knox Returning To A Secondary Role In Week 14?
Tight end Dawson Knox's time as a full-time starter may be coming to a close. The Buffalo Bills tight end has been atop the team's depth chart with Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined for the last two games. Kincaid has returned to limited participation in practice and is questionable on Sunday against the Rams. If he is inactive again, Knox will be quarterback Josh Allen's primary tight end target. However, Knox shouldn't be started in fantasy football if Kincaid returns. Knox has totaled six receptions for 96 yards and zero touchdowns in the two games without Kincaid.
Dawson Knox Leads Bills In Receiving In Snowy Victory
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox led the team with 56 receiving yards on only two catches (two targets) in the 35-10 blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers at Orchard Park on a snowy Sunday night. Players on both sides of the ball looked like they were on ice skates during a snowstorm that basically lasted the entire game. While Knox was only targeted twice, he made the most of his work and was the only Buffalo player to go over 30 receiving yards in a run-heavy game script. The 28-year-old's season-high 56 yards also came with second-year TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) missing his second straight game due to injury. In the last two weeks with Kincaid sidelined, Kincaid's production has gone up, catching six of eight targets for 96 receiving yards. Knox's Week 14 fantasy value will all depend on whether Kincaid is able to return.
Dawson Knox Draws Another Start In Place Of Dalton Kincaid
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox will be atop the depth chart on Sunday night when the team hosts the San Francisco 49ers. Starter Dalton Kincaid (knee) will be inactive for the second consecutive game. Knox logged a season-high mark in targets (six) and receptions (four) for 40 yards in place of Kincaid before the team's bye week. The 49ers are the sixth-best defense against fantasy football tight ends this season. With all 32 teams in action, Knox is outside of streaming consideration.
Dawson Knox Catches Four Passes In Win Over Chiefs
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox caught four passes for 40 yards in the team's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Knox started and operated as Buffalo's top tight end with Dalton Kincaid (knee) inactive. That resulted in a season-high mark for receptions and targets (six). His stat line provided a respectable fantasy score for managers who streamed the position. Buffalo will take their bye week in Week 12. When they return to action, Kincaid may be healthy enough to play. Knox can be dropped in most leagues.
Increased Opportunities Coming For Dawson Knox In Week 11
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox will be the team's go-to tight end this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dalton Kincaid (knee) will be inactive. Despite logging just 10 receptions this season, the 28-year-old is in the streaming conversation. He's had explosive weeks in the past and the matchup is fantastic. Defending the tight end position is the weakness of the Kansas City defense. The unit allows the second-most fantasy points and most yards to the position. Fantasy managers needing help at tight end should be able to find Knox on the waiver wire and plug him into lineups.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of the team's Week 8 road outing against the Seattle Seahawks. The 27-year-old picked up an ankle injury during the Bills' 34-10 dismantling of the Tennessee Titans last Sunday but was still able to log 31 snaps (56%). Despite beginning the week tagged with a DNP, Knox upgraded his participation over the ensuing two practices -- culminating with a full session on Friday. He'll now head into Week 8 without a designation. It's fantastic news for the Bills, as they'll now have both starting tight ends available Sunday, with Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) also off the injury report. Look for them to garner their usual snap counts in their primary roles against one of the better pass defenses in the league on a per-play basis.
