Agrees to restructure contract
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.
Analysis: 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.

Disappointing fifth season
Knox finished the 2023 regular season with 22 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns over 12 games.
Analysis: An injured wrist and subsequent surgery caused Knox to miss Weeks 8-12, and by that point, rookie phenom Dalton Kincaid was well on his way to usurping the No. 1 tight end spot. With Kincaid finishing with a 73-673-2 line and having three more years on his contract, Knox seems relegated to a No. 2 role entering next season. Knox is also a decent blocker, so while he should maintain an important role in the offense, it would take an injury to Kincaid for the former to have any meaningful value…read more

Ready to face Steelers
Knox (illness) doesn't carry a designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers.
Analysis: An illness sidelined Knox for Thursday's practice, but the tight end's return to a full session Friday sets the stage for him to be available for Buffalo's playoff opener. With wideout Gabe Davis (knee) ruled out for the contest, Knox will have a chance to make his mark Sunday alongside fellow TE Dalton Kincaid and top WR Stefon Diggs, especially if inclement weather at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, according to Patrick Warren of the team's official site, results in a game plan that leans…read more

Back at practice
Knox (illness) returned to practice Friday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: An illness kept Knox from practicing Thursday, but the tight end's return to the field a day later has him trending toward being available for Sunday's playoff opener against the Steelers. The Bills' final injury report of the week will reveal whether Knox heads into the weekend with a designation or fully cleared for action.

Misses practice with illness
Knox isn't participating in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Knox's ailment apparently surfaced at some point after Wednesday's practice, as the veteran tight end didn't appear on the Bills' initial weekly injury report released a day earlier. Assuming he's able to make a quick recovery from the illness and gets back on the field for Friday's practice, Knox should still be in good position to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers. After returning from injured reserve following the Bills' Week 13 bye, Knox suited up for each of the team's…read more

Takes back seat to Kincaid
Knox played 29 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Knox is still getting on the field with regularity, playing between 43 percent and 63 percent of the offensive snaps since returning from a wrist injury in Week 14. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid led the team with 87 yards on four catches, further cementing himself as the better receiving option among the two. As for Knox, he has only one touchdown catch on the season and hasn't exceeded 36 receiving yards in any of his 11 games played, leaving him as a deep option at best among…read more

Modest production since return
Knox caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Buffalo's 24-22 win over the Chargers on Saturday.
Analysis: Knox was on the field for 46 percent of the offensive snaps compared to 40 percent for rookie teammate Dalton Kincaid, who also was targeted twice but caught just one ball for seven yards. With every game crucial for the Bills here on out and both tight ends healthy, it's becoming clear this is going to be a timeshare depending on the game situation and offensive formation. The offense is clicking, but there's also plenty of talent, and it's become tough to trust anyone on a weekly basis…read more

Not targeted in win
Knox failed to draw a single target in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Knox played 42 of the Bills' 64 offensive snaps, while rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) was on the field for 33 snaps. Neither tight end was able to record a reception in the contest, though Kincaid did see two targets out of Josh Allen's 15 passing attempts. If both Knox and Kincaid are healthy enough to play in Buffalo's Week 16 game against the Chargers on Saturday, they could limit one another's overall ceiling, though Kincaid profiles as the more intriguing fantasy option of the…read more

Three grabs in return
Knox caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) caught five passes on eight targets on the day, but Knox produces more yardage with his grabs in his first game action since Week 7. Kincaid left the game late in the fourth quarter, and the severity of his injury isn't yet clear, so while Knox had a modest role Sunday in his return from wrist surgery, he could be a bigger factor in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Returning to action in Week 14
Knox (wrist) is listed as active Sunday at Kansas City.
Analysis: Since the Bills designated Knox for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't have any practice restrictions but still entered the weekend as questionable for Sunday's game. With his status now confirmed for Week 14 action, he'll be making his first appearance since undergoing wrist surgery following a Week 7 loss at New England. Knox wasn't particularly productive before going on IR, hauling in 15 of 28 targets for 102 yards and one touchdown in seven appearances, so he may play second…read more

Activated off IR
Knox (wrist) was activated off injured reserve Saturday. He still remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Knox didn't need to be activated off injured reserve just yet, so presumably the burly tight end will play Sunday, but the Bills have yet to confirm his game-time status. It'll be interesting to see the playing-time splits between Knox and dynamic rookie Dalton Kincaid, who blossomed into one of the team's top targets in the absence of multi-year starter.

Questionable, but likely to play
Knox (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Knox will need to be activated from injured reserve before Saturday at 4 p.m. ET in order to be eligible to play Sunday, but head coach Sean McDermott said earlier Friday that the tight end has a good chance of returning to action. He logged a third consecutive full practice Friday, putting him on a path to end his five-game absence prior to the Bills' Week 13 bye. If available Sunday, however, Knox may have to settle for a smaller role than he held prior to undergoing wrist surgery. Rookie…read more

Likely to play, barring setback
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Knox (wrist) has a "good chance" to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game in Kansas City, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Knox has been practicing without limitations since he was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, a transaction that opened a 21-day window for the tight end to be evaluated in practice. Assuming he checks out fine following another full practice Friday, Knox will likely be officially reinstated from IR on Saturday. Before missing the Bills' last five games while recovering from right wrist surgery, Knox produced a 15-102-1 receiving line on 28 targets through the first seven…read more

Knox (wrist) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Knox hit the ground running in his return to practice after being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday. His full participation suggests Knox has a chance to return as soon as Sunday's game in Kansas City, though he would first have to be officially activated from IR no later than Saturday at 4 p.m. ET.

The Bills designated Knox (wrist) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Knox missed five games (Weeks 8 through 12) while recovering from right wrist surgery and is now ready to practice following the Bills' Week 13 bye. Per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, head coach Sean McDermott expressed uncertainty that Knox will be ready to play Sunday in Kansas City, but the tight end at least stands a good chance to suit up Week 15 or 16. Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid emerged as a reliable fantasy starter in Knox's absence the past month and a half, though No. 3…read more

Week 14 return possible
Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that the Bills are "hopeful but not certain" that Knox (wrist) will be able to return to action after the Bills' Week 13 bye, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Knox, who remains on IR, last suited up in Week 7, but it's possible that he could return to the mix as soon as the Bills' Dec. 10 contest against the Chiefs. While that's hardly a lock to happen, it does appear as though the tight end will be back before the end of the season. In the meantime, Dalton Kincaid will remain the team's top TE option.

Not expected back in Week 12
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that he doesn't expect Knox (wrist) to return from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Knox is eligible to rejoin the Bills for practice this week after missing the requisite four games since being placed on IR on Oct. 26, but his surgically-repaired right wrist looks as though it still needs more time to heal. The Bills are on bye Week 13, so the team may be incentivized to wait until Week 14 before entertaining the possibility of Knox's return.

The Bills placed Knox (wrist) on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Including Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Knox will be unavailable for at least the Bills' next four contests after undergoing surgery earlier this week to address a wrist injury that he had been dealing with since the team's Oct. 8 loss to the Jaguars.

Likely bound for IR
Knox, who underwent wrist surgery earlier this week, is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Bills have already ruled Knox out for Thursday's matchup with the Buccaneers, but if he's officially moved to IR before the Week 8 game, the tight end would miss an additional three contests beyond that. In Knox's looming absence, rookie first-round pick Dalton Kincaid should see expanded opportunities in the coming weeks, with Quintin Morris likely to settle in as the No. 2 tight end once he returns from an ankle injury that will keep him out Thursday.

Officially out for Week 8

Analysis: Knox's absence for the Week 8 game comes as little surprise, with McDermott confirming that the tight end underwent surgery on his right wrist Tuesday and is "recovering at the moment," per Getzenberg. With Quintin Morris (ankle) also out for Thursday, Dalton Kincaid is currently Buffalo's only healthy tight end on the active roster, though Joel Wilson is available to come up off the practice squad.

Set to undergo wrist surgery
Coach Sean McDermott noted Monday that Knox is slated to undergo surgery on his wrist, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the looming procedure will address an issue that Knox has been dealing with since the Bills' Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. At this stage, there's no timetable for the tight end's return to action, but it seems safe to assume that he's in line to miss Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, at a minimum. While Knox is sidelined, fellow TE Dalton Kincaid should see an uptick in opportunities in Buffalo's passing offense.

Though Knox is expected to play through his health concern, the status of fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (concussion) is less certain.

Gets questionable tag for Sunday
Knox (wrist) practiced on a limited basis for the third straight day Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (concussion) is also listed as questionable after following the same practice schedule as Knox this week. The ball gets spread around too much in the Buffalo offense to the point that either Knox or Kincaid take on reliable volume in the passing game, but that would change if one plays and the other sits, especially against a vulnerable defense like the Giants'.

Knox (quadriceps) logged a full practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Rookie first-round pick Dalton Kincaid has 15 catches to Knox's eight through four games, but Knox has the only touchdown between them, and the 6-foot-4 Knox scored 15 times over the previous two seasons.

Knox (quadricep) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: With two limited practices in a row to begin Week 5 prep, Knox will likely need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars. With eight catches for 58 yards and a touchdown over four games thus far, Knox's fantasy utility has been modest while he's had to fend of rookie first-round pick Dalton Kincaid for snaps at tight end.

Knox secured his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Knox had an underwhelming performance Week 4 while playing 29 of the Bills' 58 offensive snaps. The veteran tight end played one fewer snap than rookie Dalton Kincaid, who finished the game with four catches on five targets.

Knox secured one of his two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 37-3 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Despite the Bills winning in a blowout over the Commanders, Knox wasn't a significant part of the offensive game plan Sunday. The 26-year-old and fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid both saw two targets in the contest, yet Knox saw the field slightly more, handling 41 snaps to Kincaid's 35 snaps.

Knox (back) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 3 game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Knox missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but it was evidently just precautionary. On nine targets through two games, Knox has six catches for 35 yards and one touchdown. He's a TD-dependent fantasy option in a tough draw against Washington's stout back end.

Finds end zone
Knox recorded three receptions on five targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Knox saw a similar amount of opportunity as compared to Dalton Kincaid, though he was far less productive. The exception was that Knox found the end zone from two yards away early in the second quarter after shaking free from the attention of the Las Vegas secondary. Overall, his role seems to be strictly in the short areas of the field, so much of his fantasy production will have to come from reaching the end zone.

Knox caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Monday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Knox had one fewer yard on the same number of targets as rookie first-round pick Dalton Kincaid. Both tight ends figure to play prominent roles in Buffalo's passing game, which was unusually quiet in the season opener against the stingy Jets defense. Knox has 15 touchdown catches over the past two seasons, and the 2019 third-round draft pick should remain a key contributor in the red zone given his established chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen, coupled with Knox's superior blocking ability…read more

Knox (finger) returned to practice Tuesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Knox played four snaps in the preseason opener but missed last weekend's second exhibition. He should be on track for the Week 1 opener against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 11. Knox's role remains secure as the top inline tight end, but the arrival of first-round rookie Dalton Kincaid clouds Knox's potential target share as the fourth or fifth option in the pecking order on offense.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said that Knox (finger) is expected to participate in the team's walk-through Sunday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Knox did not suit up for Saturday's 27-15 preseason loss to the Steelers due to an injury to one of his pinkie fingers. The 26-year-old is currently considered day-to-day with this issue, and it's unclear if he'd be ready to participate in a full practice yet. The Bills' preseason finale will arrive this coming Saturday against the Bears, and Knox's potential absence could leave more opportunities for rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid, who just caught three passes for 45 yards against Pittsburgh.

Analysis: Knox dealt with a leg issue during last month's minicamp, but he's evidently good to go for training camp. The 26-year-old approaches the coming season as the Bills' presumed top tight end, but the addition of rookie first-round selection Dalton Kincaid means that Knox now has some legitimate competition for snaps and targets in the team's passing offense. The looming potential of a timeshare at tight end likely limits Knox's fantasy ceiling in 2023 compared to a season ago.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Knox (lower leg) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Bills opened a three-day mandatory minicamp Tuesday, but Knox left the initial practice after colliding with safety Kaiir Elam. The tight end was spotted wearing a sleeve on his left leg Wednesday and appeared to be walking without a limp, so for now, Buffalo seems to be exercising caution with Knox. He'll have one more chance to suit up at minicamp Thursday before his focus shifts to getting back to 100 percent health ahead of training camp at the end of July.

Hurts leg Tuesday
Knox injured his lower left leg during Tuesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As the Bills kicked off mandatory minicamp Tuesday, safety Taylor Rapp broke up a Josh Allen pass directed at Knox, who then took a hit from a late-breaking Kaiir Elam. Knox was tended to by the team's training staff, took some time to get to his feet and didn't rejoin his teammates for on-field work. With two more minicamp sessions to go this week, it wouldn't surprise if Buffalo takes a cautious approach with Knox to ensure he's as healthy as possible for the start of training camp in late…read more

New competition in TE room
Dawson will likely face some competition for targets after the Bills selected Dalton Kincaid in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday.
Analysis: The Bills traded up with the Jaguars to land Kincaid, so we'd think Buffalo has big plans for the rookie and doesn't plan to have him doing a lot of sitting around. That said, the two new teammates have different skill sets, so perhaps they could be sharing the field together in two-TE sets. Nevertheless, even if Knox remains the clear-cut starter for another season, it's yet another mouth to feed in an offense where he's already been serving as the fourth or fifth option.

Leads team in receiving
Knox caught five of seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
Analysis: Knox comfortably led the Bills in receiving yards, with his total including a game-long catch of 32 yards while Buffalo tried catching up during the fourth quarter. While his team's offense mostly struggled in the snow Sunday, Knox turned in another solid regular season, catching 48 of 65 targets for 517 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games. With the security of a four-year extension signed back in September, Knox figures to remain a reliable complement for quarterback Josh Allen in 2023.

Catches TD in win
Knox caught three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
Analysis: Knox opened the scoring with an outstanding, one-handed catch on a six-yard bullet from quarterback Josh Allen during the first quarter. With that grab, Knox extended his scoring streak to five straight games, making him a significant threat as the Bills march into the AFC divisional round next weekend.

Scoring streak continues
Knox caught both of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-23 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: That makes four straight games with a score for Knox, who rallied to finish with a 48-517-6 line for the season, quite similar to his 49-587-9 line from 2021. Knox will remain a key red-zone option when the Bills begin their playoff march Sunday against the division-rival Dolphins, who were one of only four teams this season to allow double-digit receiving touchdowns to tight ends.

Analysis: Knox joined quarterback Josh Allen (ankle/elbow) as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, but both players took every rep at Friday's session to remove any lingering doubt about their statuses for the regular-season finale. Though he's noticed some regression in his touchdown count after finding the end zone a career-high nine times in 2021, Knox has more or less matched his receiving output from the previous season.

The Bills list Knox (hip) as a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: After being listed a full participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Knox took a step back in terms of activity while the Bills reconvened for a more traditional workout Thursday. At this stage, the team hasn't indicated that Knox's hip issue is anything that seriously threatens his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but his availability for that contest won't be confirmed until Buffalo releases its final Week 18 injury report Friday.

Analysis: Knox was a full participant in Saturday's practice clearing the way for the talented tight end to suit up in a pivotal AFC battle with high seeding at stake.

Knox (hip) remained limited at practice Friday.
Analysis: Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com previously relayed that Knox had downplayed what he described as a "little hip pointer. Nothing major."

Knox was a limited participant at practice Thursday due to a hip injury.
Analysis: Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com,, Knox is downplaying what he previously described as a "little hip pointer." He sported a red no-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, according to Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard. The tight end now has two more chances to increase his practice activity ahead of Monday's game against the Bengals, but Knox will probably need to practice in full capacity by Saturday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the contest.

Gets into end zone Saturday
Knox secured three of five targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 35-13 win over the Bears on Saturday.
Analysis: Knox tied for the team lead in receptions while finishing second in receiving yards on a modest day for the air attack overall. However, he rewarded fantasy managers with a 13-yard scoring grab with just over a minute remaining, his third in as many contests. Knox's expanded role has come at a critical time of the fantasy season, and he'll next tangle with the tough Bengals defense in a Week 17 road matchup on Monday night, Jan. 2.

He also delivered a season-best 98 yards on the strength of long gains of 45 and 21 yards.

Analysis: Knox somersaulted into the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half for the game's first points. The tight end finished as Buffalo's leader in targets, catches and receiving yards in addition to scoring the team's only touchdown through the air. This was a nice bounce-back effort for Knox after he was shut out by the Patriots in Week 13. He'll face the Dolphins in Week 15.

Shut out in Thursday night win
Knox failed to haul in his only target during Thursday's win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Knox has had a disappointing season, but this was the first time he's been shut out completely, and the single target also represents a season low. Knox hasn't seen the end zone since Week 8, as the potent offense continues to focus around other players. Knox is too good of a player to not have his moments before the season closes, but he's also becoming tough to rely upon, as the last two weeks have shown.

Held to two catches by Lions
Knox caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over Detroit.
Analysis: After leading the team in catches and receiving yards during Week 11, Knox wasn't nearly as involved four days later. The 26-year-old tight end has flashed talent, but he's having trouble carving out a consistent role in a Bills offense with plenty of other weapons. Knox has topped 50 yards only twice this season while finding the end zone just twice after scoring nine touchdowns in his breakout 2021 campaign.

Paces pass catchers in win
Knox brought in all seven targets for 70 yards in the Bills' 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also visited the X-ray room briefly but subsequently confirmed he was okay, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Knox enjoyed his most productive day of the season while pacing the Bills' pass-catching corps in receptions and receiving yards. The third-year tight end has picked up the pace over the last two games with an 11-127 line on 13 targets and will look to keep that momentum in a Week 12 Thanksgiving battle against an inconsistent Lions defense.

Modest production in costly loss
Knox caught four of six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The 57 yards iare actually a season high for Knox, continuing a disappointing campaign for the fourth-year tight end following last year's 49-587-9 breakout. Through eight games in 2022, he has a modest 24-240-2 line, and among tight ends, Knox's yardage is tied for 22nd while his 24 catches is tied for 20th.

Finds end zone Sunday night
Knox caught two of three targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Knox is lagging behind his 49-587-9 line from last season, as he has just 17 catches for 158 yards and two scores though six games (he missed one contest). However, he's scored in back-to-back games, and there's really no competition behind him for tight-end targets, so his production could continue to pick up if teams start to sell out to cover Stefon Diggs with multiple defenders.

Scores first TD of year
Knox caught all three of his targets for 37 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Sunday's 24-20 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The tight end returned from a one-game absence to see his usual small target volume, but Knox made his looks count by hauling in the game-winning score on a 14-yard strike from Josh Allen with only 64 seconds left in the game. The tight end has caught at least three passes in each of his last four games, but he'll remain a TD-dependent fantasy option coming out of Buffalo's Week 7 bye.

Analysis: Knox logged limited practices throughout the week but was listed on the injury report with both hip and back issues. Even if he plays, Knox has had a disappointing start to the 2022 season, in part due to his usage. He has run 28.3 routes per game early on this season, which is down from his mark of 32.4 in 2021. Knox has seen some of the effects of that decline, as he's collected only nine receptions for 71 yards across three matchups to begin the campaign.

Analysis: Knox was more involved in Buffalo's game plan in Week 2, garnering three more targets than the week before, including a couple looks in the red zone. The fourth-year tight end figures to get more involved in the Bills' offense as the season goes on after he caught 49 passes for 587 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021.

Knox caught one of two targets for five yards in Buffalo's season-opening win over the Rams on Thursday.
Analysis: This is a disappointing performance given the Bills scored four offensive touchdowns and Josh Allen completed 26 passes, but Allen was hot Thursday and was able to find his wideouts all night long, reducing the necessity for a big target like Knox to move the chains. There will be better days than this for sure, as the newly extended tight end ($53.6 million) will be plenty involved when opposing defenses choose to show a different look than the Rams did Thursday.

Knox signed a four-year extension with the Bills on Wednesday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports. The deal is worth $53.6 million and includes $31 million guaranteed, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Analysis: Knox is the clear-cut No. 1 tight end in a high-scoring offense, a fact made even more obvious after the Bills cut O.J. Howard last week. After a career-best 2021 season in which he set personal marks in catches (49), yards (587) and receptions (nine), Knox will be handsomely rewarded for his efforts. His extension keeps him on the books through 2026, his age-30 season.

Breakthrough season
Knox finished his third NFL season with 49 catches on 71 targets for 587 yards and nine TD catches over 15 games.
Analysis: Knox also found the end zone twice in the playoffs. His nine TD catches in the regular season tied for the league lead among tight ends and were the most for any TE in Bills franchise history. While the targets and yardage still fall short of the league's elite at the position, Knox may have outperformed every other TE in terms of outproducing his draft day value, which was pretty close to zero as an undrafted player in a number of leagues.

Finds end zone twice in win
Knox secured all five targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns during the Bills' 47-17 win over the Patriots in an AFC wild-card matchup Saturday night.
Analysis: The athletic tight end finished with team-leading receptions, receiving yardage and target totals on what was a stellar fantasy night overall. Knox recorded scoring grabs of eight and 11 yards in the first quarter to get the Bills' offense off to a fast start, and he subsequently contributed a 38-yard catch as well. Knox's field-stretching prowess could well play a key role again in a divisional-round matchup versus either the Chiefs or Bengals next weekend.

Three grabs against Jets
Knox caught three of five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The tight end matched his yardage total from the prior three games combined, closing out the regular season with a solid performance. Knox set career highs across the board in 2021 with 49 catches on 71 targets for 587 yards and nine TDs through 15 games, and he should be a reliable secondary target for Josh Allen on Saturday as the Bills host the Patriots in the wild-card round.

Chance to shine?
Knox's role could take on greater importance Sunday with wide receivers Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis both ruled out while in the COVID-19 protocols.
Analysis: Knox is normally a big part of the offense anyway, but with two of the team's top five receiving options out, expect him to see a high target volume in the most important game of the season for the Bills. While the increased opportunity will be nice for managers needing a big game out of the third-year tight end, it's worth noting the Patriots have the league's third-best past defense, plus there's a chance of wind and snow for the game.

Modest output in ho-hum win
Knox caught four of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: This actually qualifies as a disappointment for Knox, who probably helped put many of his managers in a playoff position this season. The third-year tight end has eight TD catches this season, but Josh Allen's three TD passes in Sunday's win all went to wideouts. Knox had a drop on his only missed target that would have put his yardage in more palatable territory. He'll get a tough matchup next week when the Bills travel to New England in what should be another tightly contested game.

Back in end zone during loss
Knox brought in seven of nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The emerging 25-year-old pushed his league-leading touchdown totals among tight ends to eight with his 15-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. The third-year pro also had a critical 24-yard reception on the Bills' game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter, pushing the ball to the Buccaneers' 15-yard line to help set up an eventual Tyler Bass game-tying field goal. Knox takes a four-game multi-reception streak into a Week 15 home matchup against the Panthers.

Rough showing in prime time
Knox caught just two of six targets for 14 yards in Monday's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Knox had issues with drops in his first two NFL seasons, but he's been much more reliable in his breakout 2021 campaign. However, Monday's performance was frustrating to watch for Bills fans, as it was clear he was supposed to be a key part to the game plan on a blustery night that yielded nothing but a run-oriented attack and short passes. Knox took at least one key penalty and also couldn't haul in catchable balls. On a normal night, something like a 5-55-1 line could have easily been…read more

Finds end zone twice Thursday
Knox brought in all three targets for 32 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills' 31-6 win over the Saints on Thursday night.
Analysis: The athletic tight end made excellent use of his scant opportunities, recording scoring grabs of seven and 24 yards in the first and third quarter, respectively. Knox now has a career-high seven touchdowns and new high-water marks in receptions (31) and receiving yards (415) as well following Thursday night's effort, sending him into a Week 13 showdown with the Patriots on Monday night, Dec. 6 with plenty of momentum.

Season-high 10 targets in loss
Knox caught six of 10 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 41-15 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Knox set season highs in catches and targets while posting his second-highest yardage total of the campaign. The tight end hasn't found the end zone since Week 5 after scoring five touchdowns through five games, but that scoring drought won't last much longer if Knox's involvement Sunday is any indication of his upcoming usage. Knox will be right back out there Thursday for a Thanksgiving showdown with the Saints.

Little action in return
Knox, who returned from a two-game absence due to a fracture in his hand, caught his only target for 17 yards in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The output is disappointing in a game during which Josh Allen threw for 366 yards, but at least Knox didn't have any setbacks and he did look like his rumbling self on the 17-yard pickup. He should see more looks in the offense as he moves past the injury and as the Bills' schedule starts to get tougher, beginning next week with a home game against the Colts.

Analysis: After logging a limited session Wednesday, the tight end returned to a full practice Thursday, which sets the stage for him to rejoin the Bills' lineup Sunday against the Jets. Prior to suffering a fractured hand in Week 6, the 2019 third-rounder was in the midst of a breakout season that had him firmly on the fantasy radar, having put up a 21/286/5 stat line to that point.

Analysis: The Bills are holding out hope that Knox will miss one or two games, as he hasn't been placed on injured reserve following a Week 7 bye.

Analysis: Knox was able to handle some plays after suffering the injury, including throwing a two-point conversion to Josh Allen, but it looks like it's possible he could need to miss time. The Bills will enjoy a bye Week 7 before taking on Miami on Oct. 31, so Knox will at least benefit from extra time to rest up.

Breakout season continues
Knox caught three of four targets for 117 yards and a score in Sunday's win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Knox topped the next-best Buffalo receiver by 48 yards and the league's best tight end on the other sideline by 60 yards on a night to remember for the Bills and their budding young tight end. Knox has clearly taken a major step forward, aided by the fact that he's dropping far fewer passes this season.

Solid opportunity on tap
Knox, who has four touchdowns over the last three games, draws a favorable Week 5 matchup Sunday against the Chiefs' 27th-ranked pass defense.
Analysis: The Kansas City defense has struggled against tight ends, giving up an average of 6.5 catches and 85 yards per game to tight ends, as noted by Chris Brown of the Bills' official site. With Knox dominating the receiving role at his position -- 20 targets to just two for backup Tommy Sweeney -- his floor should be pretty high this week, considering the Bills will probably try to move the chains and keep Patrick Mahomes off the field as much as possible.

Back-to-back scoring weeks
Knox caught four of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo's win over Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Knox had his best yardage and target week in the victory in what's starting to shape up as a breakout campaign. He won't be a fantasy star on this team in 2021 -- that status is reserved for Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs -- but the ever-evolving Buffalo offense has started to feature the tight end this season and Knox is pretty much the only one in his position group going out on pass routes. In deeper leagues, he's worth consideration.

First score of campaign
Knox caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins, including an eight-yard touchdown.
Analysis: The TD gives Knox his second decent fantasy day of the young season, at least in terms pertaining to depth tight ends. Teams seem to be covering stud wideouts Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley a bit more aggressively than last season, so the Bills found success Sunday using secondary options such as Knox and Devin Singletary. For the second straight week, Knox was the only Buffalo tight end to catch a pass, and he was on the field for 83 percent of the offensive snaps.

Modest, efficient production
Knox caught all four of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: While Knox isn't exactly Travis Kelce out there even though he has shown some nice athleticism, this is actually a decent start considering the yardage total would have been his second best during the 2020 regular season. If Knox can get into the end zone with some regularity, there's deep-league value to be found, as he has almost no competition in his position group for targets and can serve as an option if opponents try to take away too much from Buffalo's productive receivers group.

Targeted twice
Knox recorded one reception on two targets for 10 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.
Analysis: Knox made his lone catch of the game on the team's first offensive drive. He was limited otherwise and has now recorded one reception in each of the team's first two preseason games. Knox recorded 24 receptions for 288 yards and three touchdowns across 12 games in his second professional season in 2020. Given that Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis are likely to command targets ahead of him, Knox is unlikely to see a significant uptick in targets in 2021.

Eyeing bigger role
Knox, who's had an up-and-down start to his career since being drafted in the third round in 2019, heads into the 2021 campaign as the clear starter at tight end and has spent extra time working with quarterback Josh Allen in California this offseason as well as a hand-eye trainer, all in an effort to take his game to a higher level, Marcel-Louis Jacques of ESPN reports.
Analysis: General manager Brandon Beane has been critical of the lack of production from the tight end group, to the point where Buffalo seemed a likely destination for Philadelphia's Zach Ertz this offseason. After not drafting a tight end, the Bills now seem prepared to play out the season with Knox, free-agent signee Jacob Hollister and Tommy Sweeney.

Analysis: Though the Bills ultimately weren't able to keep pace with the high-octane Kansas City offense, Knox did his part to stake Buffalo to an early 9-0 lead. His three-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter was his second score of the postseason, continuing his late-season trend of being a key weapon for quarterback Josh Allen in the red zone.

Knox caught two of eight targets for 29 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Drops have been a problem for Knox in his two years in the league, but none of the six misfires Sunday fell into that category. While Knox never eclipsed 51 receiving yards in a game this season, he's become the clear No. 1 tight end for the Bills and has at least four targets in each of the past five games.

With Tyler Kroft being made an inactive once again, Knox ended up being a key part of the game plan and made a few big plays in the win.

While Knox still has a long way to go to earn trust -- the 27-yard outing was actually his second-highest output of the season -- teammate Tyler Kroft was inactive once again and Knox has become the clear leader of the Buffalo tight end group.

However, that was the last time Josh Allen looked his way.

The 2019 third-round pick is having a disappointing sophomore season, as he has yet to score or surpass 36 yards in any of his six appearances.

Knox's teammate Tyler Kroft has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't play in Sunday's game at Arizona.
Analysis: This pretty much ensures that Knox will be out there for any set that requires a tight end serving as a wide receiver Sunday. Knox has had all sorts of issues this season between a concussion, calf injury and his own positive COVID-19 diagnosis, but if there's ever going to be a week for him to get going, this would be the candidate. Buffalo and Arizona feature two of the league's best offenses to date, so the contest has some shootout potential.

Back to practice
Knox (calf/illness) returned to practice Thursday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Analysis: Knox's presence at practice means he must have cleared COVID-19 protocols after testing positive for the virus prior to Week 7. Before landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Knox sat out the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs with a calf issue, so his activity in practice will still need to be monitored before his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks is confirmed. The Bills have received very little tight end production all season, and it's reached a low point with Knox out of the lineup.

Tests positive for COVID-19
Knox (calf) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday after testing positive, the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Knox was already going to miss Sunday's game against the Jets due to his calf injury, so perhaps the bigger issue is that the team's tight end room is almost completely depleted, as fellow tight ends Lee Smith, Tommy Sweeney (currently on PUP list), and practice squad player Nate Becker have been defined to have been in close contact with Knox. They have all been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and cannot take Knox's place in Sunday's game.

Will miss Week 7
Knox (calf) has been declared out for Sunday's game at the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Knox's absence for Week 7 was fully expected after he failed to practice Wednesday through Friday. Tyler Kroft will get a few extra looks in the passing game this weekend, while Knox will set his sights on returning for a big Week 8 contest against the Patriots.

Misses Thursday's session
Knox (calf) was unable to practice Thursday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Knox was ruled out pretty early ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs and hasn't been able to practice in any capacity this week. Unless he's able to make a surprise return to practice Friday, expect him to be ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

Still not practicing
Knox (calf) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Knox hasn't practiced since sustaining his calf injury in the Bills' Week 5 loss to the TItans. He'll need to heal up in a hurry to have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Jets. Tyler Kroft is set to serve as Buffalo's top tight end if Knox sits out again.

Another DNP
Knox (calf) did not practice for the second straight day Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: While the Bills' starting tight end has the benefit of an extra day this week given the Monday night matchup, his status is looking very much in doubt at this stage. Tyler Kroft isn't a bad pickup in deeper formats if Knox does get officially ruled out.

Misses practice Thursday
Knox (calf) won't practice Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Knox was forced out of this past Tuesday's loss to the Titans, and his non-participation in Thursday's jog-through suggests that he's not a lock to play Monday against the Chiefs. If he's out or limited Week 6, Tyler Kroft would be in line to see added pass-catching opportunities versus Kansas City.

Injures calf Tuesday
Knox was forced out of Tuesday's game versus the Titans with a calf injury.
Analysis: Knox left the game in the second half after catching one of three targets for 15 yards. Tyler Kroft should handle a hefty workload the rest of the game since he's the Bills' only remaining tight end.

Low production in return
Knox caught two of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's win in Las Vegas.
Analysis: Knox only played 48 percent of the offensive snaps after missing Week 3 with a concussion. Backup Tyler Kroft was on the field for 33 percent of those snaps and was also targeted three times, hauling in just one for 12 yards. Knox remains the starter and is the more talented player, but with Buffalo's wide receivers playing so well -- not to mention running back Devin Singletary's involvement in the passing game -- the tight end could be a hit-or-miss option for much of the season.

Seemingly over concussion problem
Knox (concussion) practiced fully for the second straight day Thursday.
Analysis: Knox missed last week's game against the Rams, but he looks like a good bet to resume his starting role this week against the Raiders. It's at least worth noting that Tyler Kroft caught two TD passes in Knox's absence in Week 3, so while Knox is still the starter and more athletic player, it may not be that easy for the Bills to take Kroft completely out of the game plan right away.

Back to work
Knox (concussion) is listed as a full participant for Wednesday's practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Knox looks like he'll take all the reps in Wednesday's practice, he hasn't necessarily cleared the NFL's concussion protocol just yet. That said, the fact that he's beginning the week on the field is a good sign with regard to his chances of being available in Sunday's game against the Raiders. Even if Knox gets the green light to play this weekend, he may have to fight to earn some looks in the passing game after Buffalo's other tight ends combined for three touchdown receptions from…read more

Won't play Sunday
Knox (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old suffered the concussion during last Sunday's win over the Dolphins and has been unable to practice this week. Knox remains in the concussion protocol and will need to fully clear it before returning to game action. Tyler Kroft is without a catch through two games this season but is likely to start at tight end for the Bills in Week 3.

Absent from practice
Knox (concussion) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Knox remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and hasn't been on the field for either of the Bills' first two practices of Week 3. Unless he's cleared to take some contact at practice Friday, Knox currently looks to be trending toward an absence in Sunday's game against the Rams. Tyler Kroft, who played 51 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over Miami without drawing a target, would be in line to start at tight end Sunday if Knox is inactive.

Sits out Wednesday
Knox (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Knox starts his week off as a spectator after suffering a concussion in last week's win over the Dolphins. The tight end will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's game against the Rams. Knox's potential absence would leave the Bills with Tyler Kroft and Reggie Gilliam at the position Week 3.

Knox won't return to Sunday's game versus the Dolphins after suffering a concussion.

Low volume in win
Knox caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.
Analysis: The good news is that Knox received two red-zone looks and played 64 percent of the offensive snaps while no other Bills tight end saw more than five percent. He'll have a chance to make more of a dent on the scoresheet against the Dolphins in Week 2, though with Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley, Devin Singletary and Zack Moss all in the fold and quarterback Josh Allen still looking for opportunities to run the ball himself, it's going to be difficult for Knox to see his production…read more

Team's top tight end
Knox is listed as the first tight end on the first unofficial depth chart the Bills released Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The Bills may not come out with an "official" depth chart ahead of Week 1, but it's clear Knox is expected to get the biggest share of tight end snaps for now, with Tyler Kroft and blocking specialist Lee Smith working behind him. Knox has the ability to build off his 28-388-2 line from his rookie season, but at the same time, he's got a now-healthy Kroft to share reps with, not to mention a new star wideout in Stefon Diggs in the mix.

Impressing OC
Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has been impressed with how Knox and tight ends coach Rob Boras have worked together so far in training camp."Dawson has done a really good job," Daboll told Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site this week. So Rob [Boras] does a good job meeting extra with them. He's a young player still, really young. Hopefully we get more out of him this year. I know he's working hard to do that."
Analysis: Knox will be competing with veteran Tyler Kroft for looks in the Buffalo offense. Knox, a second-year player, has the better athletic skills and more upside, so we'll see if he can keep chugging along the learning curve and take the top job to himself instead of having to share it with Kroft.

Ready to go in Year 2
Knox has been working through drills this offseason that will help him reduce his number of dropped passes in 2020, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. "I think a big piece of it is going to be his availability and his consistency," head coach Sean McDermott said this week. "Sometimes what you see the first year is the lack of at times consistency, and I think Dawson is aware of that and he's committed to developing to the point where that becomes a strength of his and we're here to help him with it."
Analysis: Knox had the NFL's worst drop rate (12 percent) among tight end qualifiers in 2019, and his 56 percent catch rate was also remarkably low. Even so, those figures alone don't indicate that Dawson turned in a bad rookie season. To the contrary, he filled a major hole after starter Tyler Kroft suffered a broken foot before the season. Knox finished with a 28-388-2 line, far better than most preseason projections put him down for. He will likely be competing with Kroft -- who returned toward the…read more

Strong rookie season
Knox caught 28 of 50 targets for 388 yards and two scores during his rookie campaign.
Analysis: Knox was picked in the third round as more of a project type and had been expected to serve as the backup to free-agent signee Tyler Kroft, but Kroft struggled with injuries and Knox ended becoming the starter for much of the season. While the Mississippi product struggled a bit with drops, he also showed a knack for big plays and an ability to rumble for yards after the catch. Kroft is healthy again, but Knox offers more upside and (for now) a better rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, so…read more

Misses paydirt by a whisker
Knox caught just one of his four targets for 33 yards during Saturday's loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Knox caught what looked like a TD on a beautiful throw from Josh Allen, but he was ruled down just outside the goal line, where Allen then threw a short TD pass to left tackle Dion Dawkins of all people. That turned a nice outing for Knox into his usual modest one, as he's now caught exactly one ball in each of the last three games.

Quiet once again
Knox caught his only target for 11 yards during Sunday's win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Veteran Tyler Kroft had the big tight end catch, a go-ahead touchdown that in essence vaulted the Bills into the playoffs, while Knox's role was modest all evening. Knox was on the field for 48 percent of the offensive snaps (his lowest since Week 8) to Kroft's 29 percent, but the Bills and their up-and-down offense continue to spread it around too much for the rookie to offer any kind of consistent production.

One catch, chunk yardage
Knox caught just one of four targets for 37 yards during Sunday's loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Surprisingly, the 37 yards led the team, which shows just how much the Baltimore defense stifled the Buffalo passing attack all day. Knox dropped one key pass, but made up for it with a doozy of a catch that was pretty much a one-handed snag for big yardage. The rookie continues to have long-term appeal, but the modest yardage was his high in the last four games, while Knox is maintaining a pattern of catching between one and four balls in every game this season, save for a shutout in Week 8.

Quiet day while Beasley shines
Knox brought in three of four targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 26-15 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Aside from John Brown's touchdown pass, no receiver or tight end did much of note Thanksgiving Day besides Cole Beasley, who piled up 110 yards and a score against his former team. Knox was targeted on a couple of other plays involving penalties that didn't show up on the stat sheet, while Tyler Kroft wasn't even looked at in the passing game and saw just 18 percent of the offensive snaps compared to Knox's 78 percent. There's probably one big game down the stretch where the plan will center…read more

Little involvement Week 12
Knox caught both of his targets for 11 yards during Sunday's win over the Broncos.
Analysis: The Bills ran all over the Broncos and didn't need to attack downfield much, instead handing the ball frequently to Devin Singletary and Frank Gore (36 carries between them) while sprinkling in short underneath passes to Cole Beasley. Knox did see 78 percent of the offensive snaps to Tyler Kroft's 31, so it's clear he's become the starting tight end even with Kroft back to full health. That said, this is an offense that hasn't produced a 300-yard passer for an eye-popping 44 straight games, so…read more

Scores second touchdown of season
Knox caught two of three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami.
Analysis: Knox made his mark just before halftime, catching a pass over the middle and slipping a tackle for a 23-yard touchdown. The rookie has been impressive at times this season in averaging 14.0 yards per catch, but probably isn't consistent enough -- even on an offense lacking many other weapons in the passing game -- to count on week to week. Next up is a stingy Denver pass defense.

No injury tag for Week 11
Knox (knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: As expected, the issue turned out to be a minor one for the rookie, and he should be full-go for this week's contest as the Bills try to maintain the top wild-card spot in the playoff chase. While a finally healthy Tyler Kroft may take away some of Knox's targets, it didn't play out that way last week when Knox posted season highs in receptions (four) and targets (six). Until Kroft starts getting more involved, Knox can be considered the team's top fantasy tight end, albeit in an inconsistent…read more

Analysis: Some minor knee soreness caused the tight end to sit out Thursday's practice, but Knox's return to the field Friday suggests that he'll be a go Sunday against the Dolphins.

Minor knee issue
Knox missed practice Thursday due to a sore knee, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Sean McDermott expects the rookie back at practice Friday, though we'll see if that comes into fruition when the team hits the field for its last session prior to Sunday's divisional showdown in Miami. Given that Knox practiced Wednesday and his coach is downplaying the issue, it sounds like there's still a good chance Knox will suit up for Week 11.

Logs 55 receiving yards
Knox caught four of six targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Knox tied for second on the team in receptions while finishing third in targets and receiving yards. This was an encouraging performance for the rookie, who had totaled just 48 yards over the last four games. Knox should remain an inconsistent option most weeks but could have opportunities to produce next Sunday against the Dolphins.

Outsnaps Kroft
Knox caught both of his targets for 14 yards during Sunday's win over Washington.
Analysis: Despite the lousy production, one takeaway is that the rookie saw 76 percent of the offensive snaps while Tyler Kroft -- supposedly the starter once he got back to full health and game speed -- only saw 26 percent of the action. Neither tight end did much, however, and Knox has only caught four balls for 36 yards in total in the three games Kroft has played since returning from an ankle injury.
