Dawson Knox News
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was the team's breakout player last season after being taken in the third round in 2019. He became almost an every-snap player and became quarterback Josh Allen's go-to-option in the red zone. Knox and Allen combined for 11 touchdowns in 17 regular season games. Knox had more routes run, targets, catches, yards, first downs and touchdowns than in his previous two seasons combined. His touchdown total probably isn't sustainable, but more big things could be in store in 2022. Travis Kelce had way more chances than Knox, but their air yards per target, reception rate, yards-after-catch average and yards per catch were strikingly similar. If Knox's role grows more next season, he could land in the upper tier of fantasy tight ends.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was expected to make some noise against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Instead, Knox was held without a catch on two targets in the win. The weather conditions were bad and the Bills finished with a total of 120 passing yards on the day. It's tough to blame Knox when the conditions didn't allow him to play up to his full ability. The hope is that he'll bounce back against the New York Jets in the regular season finale. He should have TE1 upside for that plus matchup, assuming Emmanuel Sanders (knee) remains out.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has been an inconsistent fantasy option during the second half of the season. Last week, Knox hauled in two receptions for 11 yards and one touchdown in the win. He has nine touchdowns this season, which has been saving his fantasy value lately. However, he could do some serious damage against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. A defense that ranks 29th in pass DVOA this season. However, they've done a solid job at stopping tight ends so far. That being said, Knox should be considered a low-end TE1 for this week. It is a plus matchup, but the low volume of targets lately is a little concerning for fantasy managers.

Dawson Knox was an effective weapon for quarterback Josh Allen in the red zone last year, but it was not enough to make him fantasy relevant. He finished as the TE35 in PPR leagues with a mediocre 24 receptions for 288 yards and three touchdowns. He...
