Bills TE Dawson Knox is "well ahead" of TE O.J. Howard based on the first few days of training camp, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. "Howard just hasn’t been a good pass catcher so far," Buscaglia writes. "Although he’s a good blocker, he’s not the best mover on routes and failed to secure a pair of catches he should have on Tuesday." There's still time for Howard to gain ground on Knox, but we'd only consider him a late-round option in TE-premium fantasy drafts at this point. Knox is fairly priced at his TE9 ADP.
It doesn't sound like The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia expects O.J. Howard to push Dawson Knox for the Bills' starting TE job. "Howard has not looked like the dynamic pass catcher he was when he was a first-round pick out of Alabama in 2017," Buscaglia writes. "He also looks like he can be an excellent blocker for 12 personnel while still offering a pass-catching threat. But his movement skills are well below what Knox brings to the table." We'll keep an eye on this situation in August, but we bumped Knox up the TE Rankings and Howard down.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis has been placed on the COVID list. So both Davis and WR Cole Beasley will miss Sunday's pivotal game vs. the Patriots. That leaves Stefon Diggs and Emmanuel Sanders as Buffalo's top 2 WRs, with Isaiah McKenzie likely handling #3 duties. TE Dawson Knox should also play an even bigger role than usual. It's a tough spot for QB Josh Allen against a strong New England defense.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) is not listed on the final injury report. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. We’re not expecting Knox to be limited in Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. He was sitting 4th among TEs in half-PPR points through Week 6.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. Knox averaged 4.5 targets, 3.5 catches, 47.7 yards and .8 TDs over the first 6 weeks of the season.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. Week 10 has been the target for his return from that broken hand, and he appears to have a good chance to play vs. the Jets on Sunday. Check back tomorrow for another update.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. Week 10 has been Knox's expected return target all along, so this doesn't come as a surprise. TE Tommy Sweeney ran a route on 75% of Buffalo's pass plays last week, posting a 3-30 line on 4 targets. He's in play for desperate fantasy owners.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. TE Tommy Sweeney will be atop the depth chart for this one but would be a total flier in fantasy lineups.
Bills TE Dawson Knox had surgery on his broken hand and is expected to miss 3 weeks, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Knox has a Week 7 bye, meaning that he should just miss the next 2 games vs. Miami and Jacksonville and return for Week 10. TE Tommy Sweeney is next up on Buffalo's depth chart but is unlikely to be a fantasy factor. WRs Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley should pick up extra targets with Knox out.
Bills TE Dawson Knox broke a bone in his hand in Monday night's loss to the Titans, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. "Timeline TBD but the hope is he won’t miss much time, especially with the bye," Garafolo adds. Knox owners should plan on him missing some time beyond that Week 7 bye, but we'll continue to look for updates on his timeline for return.
Bills TE Dawson Knox left early in the 4th quarter of Monday night's game at Tennessee with a hand injury. ESPN reported that he hurt the hand before throwing a 2-point conversion pass to Josh Allen, but went through with the play anyway. Knox is questionable to return.
Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic believes Bills TE Dawson Knox is “quickly speeding away” with the starting job. Free agent addition Jacob Hollister has missed most of training camp with a back injury. Per Buscaglia, Knox has “looked impressive” outside of 1 drop. Perhaps his development is why Buffalo hasn’t made a move for Zach Ertz. Knox, only 24, is currently coming off the board at TE28 in FFPC best balls.
Bills WR Cole Beasley, WR John Brown, RB Devin Singletary and TE Dawson Knox are all inactive for today’s game against the Jets. Don’t expect to see much of QB Josh Allen or RB Frank Gore. Top CB Tre’Davious White is also inactive for Buffalo.
