Picked Dawson up for Logan Thomas when he and he and Gronk got hurt.
Worth his weight in gold at this point.Fort Knox!!!’ Priceless
I stand corrected on his athleticism. Seems as though he’s got quite a strong athletic profile:zamboni said:Knox may not be the most explosive TE out there, but he's clearly athletic enough and Allen clearly has a lot of trust in him. In this offense, that's pretty big. Plus he does not seem to have any competition at the position and is always on the field.
Dawson Knox caught all three of his targets for 25 yards in the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Titans before exiting with a hand injury.
His night could have been bigger, but Knox had a five-yard rushing touchdown called back on a hold by Emmanuel Sanders. Knox later tossed a two-point conversion to Josh Allen on a recreation of "Philly Special," but that was the last time we saw Knox, who never returned with the hand issue. Knox gets the Week 7 bye to get right ahead of a Week 8 date with the Dolphins. If Knox can't go, Tommy Sweeney is next up at tight end.

NFL Network's Mike Garofolo reports Dawson Knox "won't miss much time" after breaking a bone in his band in Week 6 against the Titans.
Knox managed to throw a pass to Josh Allen on a two-point conversion after suffering the injury, successful pushing the football like a shot put. Garofolo's reporting hints at Knox having a shot to play in Week 8 -- after Buffalo's bye week -- against Miami. If Knox is sidelined for a game or two, Tommy Sweeney shapes up as a desperation streamer. Cole Beasley would be the main beneficiary of a Knox absence. Fantasy managers should stash Knox if they can. He leads all tight ends with five touchdowns and has run the eighth most pass routes among tight ends this year.

Dawson Knox had surgery Tuesday on his broken hand.
The Bills are heading into their bye week, so Knox has an additional week to recover. There's no clear timeline on his return, with the tight end's goal to return "as soon as possible." Fantasy managers will need a backup option for Week 7, and should plan to have additional options for the following few weeks. Tommy Sweeney may have streaming viability while Knox is out, but the Bills did not heavily utilize the tight end in 2020, so the biggest impact of Knox's absence could be more routes for Gabriel Davis.

I hear you there. I have him and had Ertz, but thought I was set with Knox and traded Ertz. Now I am f'ed at TE and picked up Seals-Jones off the wire.I'm bummed. Was looking to package/flip him this week to open up a roster spot. Now I'm probably just going to drop the TE7 for nothing. The TE market has been pretty turbulent and I'm guessing that all of the Miami WR issues/ Gisecki and Godert being freed / Schultz / Seals Jones being a thing etc. have weakened his trade market considerably.
Obviously the guy is tough as nails, completed a TD throw with said broken bone. But stuff don't heal right if you're banging it around while it's trying to heal. I mean, he was due for some TD regression anyway.
Nobody knows if it's like the outer/pinky metacarpal? Not sure why but I feel like if that's what it is, he might still be able to just put some sort of splint/guard on it, rub some dirt on it and good to go.
I feel like when my ESPN news feed has the video of the analysts say stuff like "Hey, this guy's a legit set it and forget it TE," it's the death knell. Thanks Berry and Yates.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand surgery) is expected to miss three weeks.
This doesn't come as a surprise with Knox avoiding injured reserve. The Bills have a Week 7 bye so there's a chance Knox, who had surgery this week, only misses two games. Tommy Sweeney will spot start while Knox is sidelined, with Gabe Davis potentially picking up Knox's pass game targets.

Absolutely, he was a regular part of the offense and a red zone weapon. Depends on your team needs but if I was streaming then this could be a weekly starter when healthy.Just dropped in my league. Preemptive pickup and hold for a couple weeks? Deep bench league.
Bills coach Sean McDermott called Dawson Knox (hand) "day-to-day."
Knox broke a bone in his hand in Week 6 and has been sidelined since. It sounds like he could return to practice in some capacity this week, putting him in play to suit up for the Bills Week 9 matchup with the Jaguars. Knox had five touchdowns through six weeks and was hovering around an 80 percent snap share. Once healthy, he'll resume his status as a TE1 with multi-touchdown upside. Tommy Sweeney was targeted four times last week and will be a TE2 streamer option if Knox is out again this week.

Dawson Knox (hand) practiced on Thursday for the second consecutive day.
Depending on if he's listed as full or limited, Knox is likely to at least be on the optimistic side of questionable. With the Bills schedule continuing to be full of cupcake opponents, Knox will likely be a low-end TE1 if he plays.

Reverse jinx perfectionI think he might have hit a wall. They don't really look for him ever since the injury. Might have to find another option for the playoffs.

He looks super athletic out there so that is a good comparison. Hope Allen doesn't miss timeHe does have a tough playoff schedule. But he's a big part of their offense. A mini Kittle.
Dawson Knox caught 2-of-4 targets for nine yards in the Bills' Divisional Round loss to the Chiefs.
Knox's third pro season was his best to date, developing as a true every-down tight end as the year went on, and he finished with career-bests in targets (71), catches (49), yards (587), and touchdowns (9), and figures to be a popular TE1 pick for fantasy next summer. Knox is a legitimate red-zone dominator and touchdown-scorer in an offense led by electric Josh Allen. Knox will have a case to be the third or fourth tight end off the board behind guys like Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, and George Kittle.

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia said "don't be surprised" if Dawson Knox's stats "go up" in 2022.
The exception, Buscaglia said, would be touchdowns -- an area where Knox is likely to regress in 2022 after posting an 18.3 percent touchdown rate in 2021 as Josh Allen's primary red zone target. Buffalo showed unwavering commitment to Knox last season as rumors swirled for months that the Bills would acquire Zach Ertz as a tight end upgrade. They were rewarded with a stellar season from Knox, 25, who had career highs in every major statistical category and finished as fantasy football's seventh highest scoring tight end in 2021. Buscaglia said the Bills could sign Knox to a long-term deal before the 2022 regular season. "When you consider his age, athletic profile and connection with Allen, it’s hard to ignore the signs that Knox is a potential long-term answer at tight end," Buscaglia said, adding Knox's role as a pass catcher should grow. "Re-signing Knox for the prime of his career would lock in one of Allen’s go-to pieces while the receivers room continues to fluctuate." Knox will be a popular mid-round draft pick in 2022 re-draft formats.

Dawson Knox caught 1-of-2 targets for five yards in the Bills' Week 1 win over the Rams.
There were big plays for the taking against a surprisingly-leaky Rams defense, but they went to Gabe Davis and Stefon Diggs. That is the fear for a tight end who lived off scores and chunk gains in 2021. His touchdown rate seemed destined to decline, and he probably isn't going to be bailed out by a drastically increased target rate. That being said, Knox is still going to have plenty of spiked weeks in this explosive offense. He remains in the back-end TE1 conversation for Week 2 against the Titans.

Rotowire says he is startingAny word on his status for today?
Dawson Knox (back/hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Knox was dealing with a foot issue heading into Week 3, but the back and hip injuries appear to be new. The fourth-year tight end has factored into Buffalo's game plan much this year. He has yet to reach 50 yards in a game or score. Knox will straddle the TE1/2 borderline for his Week 3 matchup with Baltimore.
