Knox finished with four receptions on six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs.
Knox filled in for injured starter Dalton Kincaid (knee) in a headline win over the Chiefs. The 28-year-old Knox recorded new season highs in targets (six) and receptions (four), but his 40 receiving yards did not. With the Bills entering a bye week, Knox may find himself back in a backup role when the team resumes play against San Francisco on Dec. 1.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Likely to see increased reps
Rotowire
With Dalton Kincaid (knee) ruled out for Week 11 against the Chiefs, Knox is expected to take on an elevated role Sunday.
With Kincaid dealing with the injury last Sunday against the Colts, Knox played a season-high 70 percent of the offensive snaps and matched his season bests in targets (three) and catches en route to a 2-40-0 receiving line. Knox doesn't have much upside in terms of catches and yards, but he's a trusted red-zone weapon for Josh Allen and is worthy of consideration at tight end for needy fantasy players.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Dalton Kincaid (knee) missed practice Wednesday, and his status for Sunday's game against the Chiefs doesn't look good. Keon Coleman (wrist) is out for Week 11, and Amari Cooper (wrist) was limited Wednesday. It all sets up for Knox to be a significant contributor for the Bills and Josh Allen, and Knox has top-10 upside in this matchup. Kansas City is No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Knox could step into Kincaid's role of at least six targets in six of the past seven games.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Dalton Kincaid (knee) might not play in Week 11 against the Chiefs, and the Bills could also be without Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist). Knox could see a spike in targets, and he has a great matchup against Kansas City, which is No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. I would start Knox in most leagues if Kincaid is out, and he's worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Records chunk gain in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Knox brought in two of three targets for 40 yards in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid suffered a knee injury of unknown severity in the second half of Sunday's game, so Knox could be set for a bigger role in the short term. Sunday, he contributed a season-long 34-yard grab on his way to his second-highest yardage total of the season. Knox could play a key role in the air attack in a Week 11 home showdown against the Chiefs if Kincaid is sidelined for the contest.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Records one reception in Week 9
Rotowire
Knox finished Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins with one catch on two targets for five yards.
Knox had his best game of the season in Week 8 against Seattle with two catches for 50 yards, but he couldn't follow that with meaningful production against Miami. The veteran tight end has recorded one or zero catches in eight of his nine contests on the campaign, making him an afterthought in most fantasy leagues. It would likely take Dalton Kincaid missing time for Knox to reemerge on the fantasy landscape this season.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Two catches in win
Rotowire
Knox caught both of his targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Seahawks.
Knox's two receptions and 50 yards in Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks were both season highs for the veteran. The 27-year-old tight end finished the game tied with Dalton Kincaid in offensive snaps (41), but the latter had the more productive fantasy day, catching four of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown. With Kincaid continuing to see the majority of targets at tight end, Knox is best ignored for fantasy purposes. The Bills are set to host the Dolphins in Week 9.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Ready for Week 8
Rotowire
Knox (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.
Knox didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but he followed up the absence with a limited session Thursday before capping the week with full participation Friday. With fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) also in the clear after an uncapped practice Friday, the Bills' top two options at the position will be available Sunday.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Knox (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Knox missed Wednesday's session, so his return to the field a day later has him moving in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Meanwhile, Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) was limited both days, which sets the stage for Friday's injury report to add valuable context with regard to the chances of the Bills' top two TEs playing this weekend.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Practices Thursday
Rotowire
Knox (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Knox missed Wednesday's session, but the tight end's return to the field a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He presumably will need to practice fully by Friday, however, to head into the weekend minus an injury designation.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Not practicing
Rotowire
Knox missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury.
Knox appeared to have gotten hurt at one point in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans, but he nonetheless ended up playing 57 percent of snaps on offense. An absence this Sunday at Seattle likely would free up a few extra snaps for Dalton Kincaid, who was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a collarbone injury.

Bills' Dawson Knox: One grab in win
Rotowire
Knox caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
Knox played 31 of the Bills' 55 offensive snaps in the contest, continuing to fulfill No. 2 tight end duties behind starter Dalton Kincaid. With that said, Kincaid played just nine more snaps Sunday while seeing six targets from quarterback Josh Allen. The 27-year-old Knox remains off the fantasy radar, as his inconsistent production is extremely difficult to trust each week. The Bills will visit the Seahawks in Week 8.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Finds end zone in win
Rotowire
Knox caught his lone target for 12 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-20 win over the Jets.
Knox's trip to the end zone was his first of the 2024 campaign, as the veteran tight end has taken a back seat to teammate Dalton Kincaid in the Bills passing attack. Through six games, the 27-year-old has recorded just four catches on six targets for 42 yards. As long as Kincaid is healthy, Knox cannot be trusted for consistent production in Buffalo. The Bills host the Titans in Week 7.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Not targeted in Week 5
Rotowire
Knox failed to record a single target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Ravens.
Knox was held without a target for the second time this season. The veteran tight end continues to play behind teammate Dalton Kincaid, who saw six targets in the contest. Operating as the No. 2 tight end with minimal usage in the passing game, Knox can be safely left off of fantasy rosters heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Jets.

Bills' Dawson Knox: One grab against Ravens
Rotowire
Knox secured his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
Knox had a quiet day in Week 4 while fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid led the Bills in targets against the Ravens. The 27-year-old Knox played 27 of Buffalo's 59 offensive snaps, 10 fewer than Kincaid. Though the two tight ends are sharing playing time, Knox's smaller role in the passing game limits his fantasy potential. The veteran shouldn't be trusted for fantasy purposes barring an injury to Kincaid. The Bills will visit the Texans in Week 5.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Returns from groin injury
Rotowire
Knox (groin) played in Saturday's preseason game against Pittsburgh and caught his lone target for a nine-yard gain.
Knox and Dalton Kincaid both started, alongside RB James Cook and WRs Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins. Kincaid was removed from the game after two snaps, and Knox didn't stay in much longer (six snaps) before handing things over to No. 3 TE Quintin Morris, who then left with a shoulder injury. Groin and ankle injuries have cost Knox some practice time this summer, but he's been available more often than not.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Knox (groin/ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
With Knox managing a pair of injury concerns, the tight end is a candidate to miss Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers. Knox logged nine snaps in Buffalo's exhibition opener against the Bears en route to logging one target. Once the regular season starts, the 2019 first-rounder is slated to maintain a role in the Bills offense as a blocker and pass catcher, but the continued presence of 2023 first-rounder Dalton Kincaid limits the fantasy upside of Knox when both players are available.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Knox (groin) returned to practice Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Knox's absence Sunday was chalked up to "groin/vet rest," and this would seem to confirm it's nothing serious. He should still have a role in the Buffalo offense as a regular blocker and occasional pass catcher, but he isn't likely to see as many targets as he did from 2019 to 2022 now that the Bills have 2023 first-round pick Dalton Kincaid at tight end.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Managing groin injury
Rotowire
Knox isn't practicing Sunday due to a groin issue, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Knox's absence is also denoted as "vet rest" on the team's injury report, but this is the first word of a groin issue. It's unclear if the veteran tight end's absence from Sunday's practice is precautionary or if he's going to miss additional time. Knox is slated to again cede most of the team's tight end pass-catching work to Dalton Kincaid during the coming campaign.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Agrees to restructure contract
Rotowire
Knox and the Bills have agreed to a restructured contract that lowers his scheduled $14.4 million cap hit for 2024, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The tight end is entering the second season of a four-year, $52 million extension that guarantees most of his money through 2024 but none thereafter. It's possible this agreement changes that, but if not, Knox's future with the team could come into question next offseason. His fantasy value has taken a big hit since the Bills drafted fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
