Man, debating burning #1 waiver priority for him
Snap count over 3 weeks makes me worry a bit that he'll stay inconsistent. 55% 54% 56%. Gotta figure some nice plays will push his PT up but I don't know enough about his game to say one way or the other.Man, debating burning #1 waiver priority for him
Well that's just silly. Amendola is likely out and Detroit should have to pass like crazyAnybody starting him tomorrow? Thinking about rolling him out over Hockenson.
No I don’t think it’s silly to consider benching a rookie tight end who has 2 catches for 8 yards in the past two weeks combined. Can’t afford another donut.Well that's just silly. Amendola is likely out and Detroit should have to pass like crazy
YesAnybody starting him tomorrow
I am over Burton. Kittle is my other TE. Clearly an easier decision for me than you. I'm not sure what I'd do in your shoes.Anybody starting him tomorrow? Thinking about rolling him out over Hockenson.
I'm not really sure but Charles Clay put up some pretty decent numbers there for a few years.Is Buffalo’s offensive scheme one that usually utilizes the TE?
Honestly, I don't think so.Is Buffalo’s offensive scheme one that usually utilizes the TE?
Yeah, as someone who went out on a limb and grabbed the rookie, I gotta say that it's been tough watching the donuts accumulate. But in the lineup he stays!No I don’t think it’s silly to consider benching a rookie tight end who has 2 catches for 8 yards in the past two weeks combined. Can’t afford another donut.

If we eliminate Game One of this year, which is pretty on pace with all other TE1s vs. Arizona, is Hock even close to a surefire starter?If Knox doesnt catch a rare TD last week is this thread even on page 1?
He has as many touchdowns as Hock. I don’t get your point here. Tight end is a wasteland and I’m looking for some upside. I’m in a deep league where the pickings are slim (I drafted Hunter Henry). It’s this guy, Hock, or 3-30 guys like Vernon Davis or Tyler Higbee.If Knox doesnt catch a rare TD last week is this thread even on page 1?
Hockenson has 6 more targets on the year than Knox and has a much more favorable matchup. Knox only plays about 50% of the offebsive snaps.He has as many touchdowns as Hock.

Being a major piece in a gameplan is different than catching a random TDIf we eliminate Game One of this year, which is pretty on pace with all other TE1s vs. Arizona, is Hock even close to a surefire starter?
Can't undo the past.
I'm not saying it was fluky; I'm saying it's what the league-average TE has done to Arizona in terms of fantasy scoring so far. Actually, he did less than that. And he hasn't been close to league average the other weeks.Being a major piece in a gameplan is different than catching a random TD
i am not saying knox isnt good. im saying hock is a better option this weekI'm not saying it was fluky; I'm saying it's what the league-average TE has done to Arizona in terms of fantasy scoring so far. Actually, he did less than that. And he hasn't been close to league average the other weeks.
Knox got four targets last week and crushed some poor people from CIncinnati on his RAC. Thanks to this thread, I just picked him up off of the wire b/c I'm short with only Hock at TE. Had to cut a guy I like to do it, but only so many bench spots.
You think they won't be playing from behind or deploying him with that receiver core vs. New England?
Whoops. We posted at the same time. See my comment right above yours. I typed it out for clarification about what I'm saying and what my own situation is.i am not saying knox isnt good. im saying hock is a better option this week
I hear ya, and I’m probably going to hold my nose and stick with Hockenson for one more week. Here’s to hoping this lives up to a shootout.Hockenson has 6 more targets on the year than Knox and has a much more favorable matchup. Knox only plays about 50% of the offebsive snaps.
Good luck with yoir decusion
Dawson Knox caught 3-of-3 targets for 58 yards in the Bills' Week 4 loss to the Patriots.
Knox has now gone at least 3/58 in back-to-back games. That's enough to put him on the TE2 radar at an absolutely desolate position. Knox's usage still comes with a zero-point floor.

Bills gonna Bills.Anyone know why they had that giant slow TE running more routes than Knox today?
I don't know but Knox looked really good. Him and Gore were pretty much the entire offense.Anyone know why they had that giant slow TE running more routes than Knox today?
Tyler Kroft is apparently healthy (at least for now), and that's inevitably going to cut into Knox's production. I don't know whether Kroft will start over Knox, but at a minimum it's one more guy that Knox has to compete with for catches.Dawson Knox, a potential start at the slim pickins TE spot?

I read somewhere that Buffalo is happy with knox and once Kroft is healthy he could be a trade prospect? Anyway something to monitor as BUF has a great match up on Sunday against MIA. FitzMagic can only pull so many rabbits out of a hat. BUF 31 - MIA 17.Tyler Kroft is apparently healthy (at least for now), and that's inevitably going to cut into Knox's production.

I think the Bills will run plenty of 2 TE sets (they already have been). Knox may see a small dip, but I think it’s Lee Smith and Sweeney who will see big drops in playing time.Tyler Kroft is apparently healthy (at least for now), and that's inevitably going to cut into Knox's production.

Josh Allen owners just collectively gaspedMIA is listed as a bad MU for TE and a great MU for RB. I have to think the Bills come out of the bye week with a game plan that tries to take advantage of the poor rush D. With Bills DST looking so good, I can't imagine we see lots of passing from the Bills O.
Their best CB Howard has been limited in practice so far this week and their safety Jones hasn’t practiced yet.Josh Allen owners just collectively gasped
Try and trade him Demaryous Thomas, since he's probably heard of him.What do you do when you offer Knox in a trade and the other owner says, "I dont even know who that is"
Dawson Knox caught 4-of-6 targets for 55 yards in the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Browns.
It was Knox's biggest game in six weeks, though he also committed another drop. Even with the soft Dolphins on tap for Week 11, Knox's TE2 appeal is almost nonexistent.
Dawson Knox (knee) resumed practicing Friday.
It puts him on track to suit up Sunday against Miami. The rookie makes for a risky streamer, even in a favorable matchup.

Dawson Knox tallied two catches for 32 yards and a touchdown on three targets Sunday in the Bills’ Week 11 victory over the Dolphins.
Knox's 23-yard touchdown in the second quarter snapped a six-game scoreless drought for the rookie. It was probably the easiest touchdown he'll ever score as the Dolphins dialed up an all-out blitz, essentially leaving Knox by his lonesome. Knox has been one of the more productive rookies at a sparse fantasy position, ranking third among first-year tight ends with 279 receiving yards. He'll be on the road at Denver in Week 12.

Bills OC Brian Daboll has been "impressed" with second-year TE Dawson Knox at training camp.
"Dawson has done a really good job," Daboll said. “He's a young player still. Hopefully we get more out of him this year." Knox flashed in 11 starts as a rookie, going over 50 yards and a touchdown in two of the first four games before fading in the second half. He played over 60 percent of snaps. Knox had the highest drop percentage (24.3%) among tight ends, but the Bills like his big play upside. He’ll be asked to do less blocking this year with the return of Tyler Kroft.

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia reports second-year pro Dawson Knox has "clearly improved" as a blocker.
Buscaglia reports blocking and ball security are the two areas where the Bills want Knox to improve. Improved blocking would mean more snaps, which means more targets. Of course, Tyler Kroft's presence means Knox might not be called on as often to block. Talented second-year third-rounder Knox has gotten lost in the shuffle amongst this year's deep tight end group. Even with improved blocking, Knox probably won't see enough looks in the Bills' run-heavy offense to knock down the every-week TE2 door.

Bills TE Dawson Knox entered the league's concussion protocol.
Knox had totaled six targets through two games before taking a hard hit along the sideline from Dolphins LB Kyle Van Noy. Knox's absence would logically help Gabriel Davis get on the field more in 10 personnel for Buffalo's salivating Week 3 matchup against the Rams. Knox himself is a thin option best reserved for deeper leagues if cleared ahead of Sunday.

Another example of why TEs are so risky for dynasty leagues. Sometimes it takes several years to materialize and sometimes it doesn't at all.I love Knox’s potential but he had yet another drop yesterday, fumbled away the one he caught, and then got concussed. No reason for the Bills to keep giving him playing time if he’s going to continue that pattern, especially with Gabriel Davis playing so well that 4 WR sets should become a lot more common.
Yes. I’ve been holding this guy for a while now in 2 leagues because I liked how he looked. The last couple of waiver moves I’ve made he was almost the drop. Next time he probably will be.Another example of why TEs are so risky for dynasty leagues. Sometimes it takes several years to materialize and sometimes it doesn't at all.
I'm forgetting one of his targets from this weekend, but officially he has not been credited with a drop yet this year.I love Knox’s potential but he had yet another drop yesterday, fumbled away the one he caught, and then got concussed.

Honestly I missed it. I am taking Sal Capaccio’s word for it but it sounds like some could credit the defense rather than call it a drop.Grigs Allmoon said:I'm forgetting one of his targets from this weekend, but officially he has not been credited with a drop yet this year.
In looking that up, I noticed that surprisingly the Bills are tied for 4th with 5 drops through 2 games. 2 or 3 fewer and the offensive numbers would look even better.
Knox had both hands on the ball, but the defender had a hand in the triangle formed by Knox's arms, the ball, and Knox's chest. The defender was in an excellent position to strip the ball for an incompletion or fumble. Probably nobody was making that particular catch, and if Knox didn't have a history of dropped passes we wouldn't say anything about it. But he does, as you know.Honestly I missed it.
