Bottom Line

Knox signed a contract extension last September, then saw GM Brandon Beane add Round 1 TE Dalton Kincaid. He adds legit red zone competition and figures to take a bite out of Knox’s target share.

Outside of deep formats, you can pass on Knox in non-best ball redraft leagues. But keep him circled as a potential in-season streamer.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Among 26 TEs with 50+ targets, Knox ranked 23rd in Pro Football Focus receiving grade, 10th in catch rate, fourth in TDs, and 23rd in yards per route run.
  • The TDs helped propel him to the overall TE13 finish in PPR.
  • Playoffs included, Knox went on a five-game scoring streak starting in Week 14.
  • Still, Knox finished as a top-6 fantasy TE only once; a top-12 TE five times.
    • He finished worse than TE18 in eight different weeks.
  • Knox missed one game with a foot/hamstring injury (Week 5).
  • On the year, his 65 targets (4.3 per game) tied Isaiah McKenzie for third on the team.
  • Drops remained an issue for the 5th-year pro.
    • He's now posted at least a 9.3% drop rate in all four NFL seasons.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Buffalo took the air out of Knox’s fantasy value with the drafting of Round 1 TE Dalton Kincaid.
    • The Utah product brings pro polish following five college seasons. His tape, production, and draft capital suggest a sizable year-one role.
  • Recall that Buffalo signed Knox to a contract extension just last September. If there’s a hopeful slant, more two-TE sets are possible this fall.
  • Buffalo returns OC Ken Dorsey, who helped this unit rank 13th league-wide in pass rate; 8th in attempts per game.
  • QB Josh Allen remained at the top of his game. Compared to 2021, Allen improved his yards per attempt, adjusted completion rate, TD rate, INT rate, and PFF passing grade.
  • Buffalo lost ~150 targets to free agency, mainly from RB Devin Singletary and WR Isaiah McKenzie.
    • RB James Cook should absorb a chunk of those. Buffalo also added slot/gadget WR Deonte Harty.

Bills TE Dawson Knox (back) missed practice again on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. Knox's absence would figure to turn TE Dalton Kincaid into close to an every-down player -- and a nice TE1 play in fantasy lineups.

Bills TE Dawson Knox (back) did not practice on Wednesday. WROC-TV's Thad Brown tweeted that Knox "seemed in good shape," so we're tentatively expecting him to be available for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. We'll update Knox's status again tomorrow.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid notched 5 catches (6 targets) for 43 yards in Week 2. He matched Dawson Knox in routes run – 22 – but it was Knox who cashed in with a goal line score. The rookie saw an end zone target of his own, but it fell incomplete. Kincaid also took a hard shot to his ribs on the play. We’ll keep an eye on his practice participation this week. If he’s ready to go for Week 3 (as we expect), Kincaid will likely slot in as a fringe TE1 at Washington.

Dynasty Write-up
Spotty production and drops remained a theme for Knox in 2022. This time, though, he wasn’t able to repeat the lofty 9-TD campaign from 2021. He’s at least tied to QB Josh Allen through the 2026 season.
