Bills' Dawson Knox: Catches two passes vs. Patriots
Rotowire
Knox caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.
Prior to Sunday night's loss, Knox hadn't caught a pass since the Bills' Week 2 win over the Jets. The veteran tight end from Ole Miss has primarily served as a blocker this season, catching six of 10 targets for 54 yards across Buffalo's first five games. He's expected to continue operating behind Dalton Kincaid in the Bills' Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.

Bills' Dawson Knox: No catches again Sunday
Rotowire
Knox failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.
This is the second consecutive game in which Knox has failed to record a reception, despite logging 55 offensive snaps during that span. The Ole Miss product appears firmly behind Dalton Kincaid in Buffalo's tight-end room, as Kincaid has caught six of eight targets for 96 yards and two touchdowns over the last two weeks. Knox is likely to have a similar role in the Bills' Week 5 contest against the Patriots, serving primarily as a blocker rather than a receiving option.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Blanked in Week 3
Rotowire
Knox wasn't targeted during Thursday night's 31-21 win over the Dolphins.
After catching four of his seven targets for 39 yards over Buffalo's first two games this season, Knox wasn't involved in the offensive game plan in Week 3. His counterpart, Dalton Kincaid, was the Bills' most effective receiver Thursday, catching five of his six targets for 66 yards and one touchdown. Knox appears firmly behind Kincaid as the top receiving option in Buffalo's tight end corps, but he'll likely be more involved in a Week 4 matchup against the Saints.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Two grabs in Week 2
Rotowire
Knox caught two of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Knox's five targets Sunday were second only to fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid, who saw six targets from quarterback Josh Allen. The 28-year-old Knox did play more offensive snaps, however, finishing with 41 snaps while Kincaid played 36 snaps. Despite the increased target share, Knox should not be considered for fantasy purposes as long as Kincaid is healthy. The Bills are set to host the Dolphins in Week 3.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Clear for Week 2
Rotowire
Knox (hip) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at the Jets.
The Bills limited Knox's activity level at Wednesday's practice and Thursday's walkthrough due to a hip injury, but a return to all activity Friday sets him up to be available for a Week 2 AFC East matchup. Knox earned a 57 percent snap share during this past Sunday's win against the Ravens on his way to a 2-20-0 line on two targets, while fellow TE Dalton Kincaid played 50 percent of the offensive snaps and hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and one touchdown.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Listed as limited again
Rotowire
Knox (hip) is listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.
The Bills only hosted a walk-thru practice Thursday, but Knox is being listed as limited for a second consecutive session. If he's unable to upgrade to full participation Friday, Knox will likely carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Limited in practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Knox (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Knox played 57 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's 41-40 win over the Ravens in Week 1, securing both of his targets for 20 yards. He ran just 17 routes, though, while starting tight end Dalton Kincaid ran 28 routes and brought in all of his targets for a 4-48-1 receiving line. Knox will figure to handle a similar complementary role behind Kincaid if he's able to gain clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Jets.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Two catches against Ravens
Rotowire
Knox caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Knox led all Bills tight ends in offensive snaps, but, as expected, it was teammate Dalton Kincaid who played a bigger role in Buffalo's passing attack. Knox wasn't able to get much going, while Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. Going forward, the veteran should expect similar usage, capping Knox's overall fantasy value. The 28-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Jets.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Knox (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday.
After missing the start of training camp, this marks the first practice for Knox since he came off the active/non-football injury list, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. The 28-year-old, who logged 22 catches for 311 yards and a touchdown in 16 regular-season games in 2024, thus is slated to reprise his role in a Buffalo passing offense that also features fellow TE Dalton Kincaid, who caught 44 passes in 13 contests last season.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Not practicing Monday
Rotowire
Knox (hamstring) won't practice Monday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Knox was activated off the PUP list Sunday, but the tight end is still not practicing as he deals with a hamstring injury, per Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Maiorana adds that Knox doesn't seem to be limping very much at this stage, suggesting that the the Bills are simply being careful to not rush the veteran tight end back.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Ready to practice
Rotowire
The Bills activated Knox (hamstring) from the active/non-football injury list Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Knox opened training camp on the NFI list with a hamstring injury, but he now is able to return to practice ahead of the Bills' first preseason game versus the Giants on Saturday, Aug. 9. The 28-year-old caught 22 passes for 311 yards and one touchdown across 16 regular-season games last year. He should be set to reprise his job as the No. 2 TE behind Dalton Kincaid this season.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Dealing with hamstring issue
Rotowire
Knox will miss Wednesday's opening training camp practice due to a hamstring issue, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
On Wednesday, coach Sean McDermott didn't provide a timetable for the tight end's return to the field, with the team taking it "one day at a time" with injured players such as Knox. The 2019 third-rounder was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Bills on Tuesday, but he can be activated at any time, once he's ready to resume practice.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Placed on NFI list by Bills
Rotowire
Knox (undisclosed) was placed on the active/non-football injury list by the Bills on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
An undisclosed injury will delay Knox from joining his teammates on the field in training camp, but once the tight end is ready to practice, he can be activated from the NFI list at any time. When available, Knox, who caught 22 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown (33 targets) in 16 regular-season games in 2024, is part of Buffalo's 1-2 punch at TE, along with 2023 first-rounder Dalton Kincaid.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Secures only target in AFCCG loss
Rotowire
Knox hauled in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
Knox played 62 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's season-ending playoff loss to Kansas City, compared to 46 percent of offensive snaps for second-year pro Dalton Kincaid (two catches for 13 yards on four targets). Across 16 regular-season appearances, Knox racked up 22 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown (33 targets). The veteran tight end has two more years remaining on his deal with the Bills, though the team has a potential 'out' after the 2025 season.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Two grabs in wild-card win
Rotowire
Knox caught two of three targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos.
Knox played 46 of the Bills' 76 offensive snaps in the contest, ahead of both Dalton Kincaid (29) and Quintin Morris (5). Even with his elevated snap share, the veteran tight end was unable to get much going on his three targets. With Sunday's victory against the Broncos, the Bills are now set to face the Ravens in the divisional-round on Jan. 19. Knox will likely continue to operate in a limited role against Baltimore while sharing the majority of tight end duties with Kincaid, the preferred option in the passing game.

Bills' Dawson Knox: No snaps in season finale
Rotowire
Knox did not play a single snap in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.
With the Bills locking in the No. 2 seed in the AFC after Week 17, Knox and several other players missed all or most of the Week 18 contest to rest for the playoffs. The 28-year-old Knox and fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid watched from the sideline as teammate Quintin Morris handled every tight end snap in the game. Knox will return to his role as the Bills' primary backup at the position in the team's next game, when the Bills host the Broncos in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Two catches in win
Rotowire
Knox caught two of three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions.
Knox played 51 of the Bills' 70 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Buffalo tight end. Meanwhile, teammate Dalton Kincaid returned from a three-game absence due to a knee injury and saw four more targets than Knox despite playing 17 less snaps. The 28-year-old Knox will likely continue to see his role decrease with the more dynamic Kincaid back in the mix. The veteran is best left out of fantasy lineups going forward with a Week 16 matchup against the Patriots on tap.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Targeted once in loss
Rotowire
Knox caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams.
Knox operated as the Bills' No. 1 tight end Sunday with teammate Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined for the third straight game. Despite playing 82 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps, the veteran was targeted just once in the contest. With Kincaid possibly nearing a return as soon as this Sunday against the Lions, Knox is unlikely to hold much fantasy value going forward with such limited usage in the passing game.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see if Dalton Kincaid (knee) can return for Week 14 at the Rams, but if he's out again then Knox is worth a look in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB. In two games without Kincaid, Knox has six catches for 96 yards on eight targets, and he scored at least 7.6 PPR points in each outing. The Rams are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, so Knox could be useful in deeper leagues if Kincaid remains out.
Knox caught both of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers.
Knox was the only Bills player to exceed 30 receiving yards as Buffalo relied primarily on the run in this snowy victory. Dalton Kincaid (knee) hasn't suited up since Week 10, and Knox has racked up 94 receiving yards in the two games Kincaid has missed, sandwiched around Buffalo's Week 12 bye. If Kincaid remains unavailable in Week 14 against the Rams, Knox would be in line for elevated usage in the passing game again.
