  • 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.

  • Logs full practice Thursday

    Knox (hand) practiced fully Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    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.

  • Limited reps Wednesday

    Knox (hand) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Knox has resumed practicing for the first time since suffering a broken bone in his hand Oct. 19 and then undergoing surgery. If Knox is able to maintain at least limited participation in practice the next two days, he should have a fair shot at suiting up for Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. Tommy Sweeney will bump back down to a backup role if Knox gets the green light to play.

  • Should practice Wednesday

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said he expects Knox (hand) to resume practicing Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Knox hasn't been able to practice in any capacity since suffering a broken bone in his hand in an Oct. 19 loss to the Titans and undergoing surgery a day later, but he appeared to take a meaningful step forward last Thursday, when he was seen catching passes off to the side while working with trainers, according to Heather Prusak of News 4 Buffalo. The tight end looks like he'll be able to take part in team drills in the coming days, and if all goes well, he should have a good shot to suit up…read more

    Coach Sean McDermott said Knox (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Knox is recovering from surgery on his hand and will be sidelined for the second consecutive game. Tommy Sweeney, who caught three passes for 30 yards Week 8, is poised to lead Buffalo's group of tight ends again Sunday versus the Jaguars.

  • Misses another practice

    Knox (hand) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Knox, who is bouncing back from a hand procedure, is considered day-to-day, but back-to-back practice absences cloud his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. If he's unable to gain clearance to play this weekend, Tommy Sweeney once again would be in line to head the Bills' tight end corps Week 9.

    Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Knox (hand) will not participate in practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McDermott said Monday that Knox is day-to-day and has been improving, but the starting tight end still isn't ready to resume handling practice reps. Knox, who is recovering from hand surgery, will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. If Knox isn't able to retake the field Week 9, Tommy Sweeney will once again stand to handle the No. 1 tight end reps.

    Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Knox (hand) is improving and viewed as day to day, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: After fracturing his hand in a Week 6 loss to the Titans, Knox underwent surgery soon after and wasn't available for Sunday's win over the Dolphins, even with the benefit of the Bills being on bye Week 7. Though Knox seems to be healing as expected, McDermott wouldn't promise that the tight end would be available to practice this week. Knox likely would need to get back on the field as at least a limited practice participant by Friday to have a legitimate shot at suiting up next weekend in…read more

  • Out Week 8

    Knox, who recently underwent hand surgery, has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    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. Tommy Sweeney looks set to serve as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end against Miami, but Buffalo is expected to sign a free agent or promote another player from the practice squad to provide depth Week 8.

    Knox underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair his fractured hand and is expected to miss a few weeks, Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

    Analysis: Even with Buffalo on bye Week 7, Knox appears destined to miss at least some game action after suffering a broken bone in his hand during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Titans. The Bills haven't offered up a specific timeline for their top tight end's return, but Garofolo notes that the team has hope Knox "won't be out for long." A better indication of when Knox might play again could come when the Bills resume practicing Week 8, but expect the team to head into its next contest Oct. 31 against the…read more

    Knox suffered a broken bone in his hand during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Titans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    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.

    Knox (hand) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: The severity of Knox's injury is unknown at this time, but it's serious enough to hold him out for the final quarter of Monday's matchup. He was spotted walking to the locker room and was officially ruled out shortly after. Tommy Sweeney will get more looks at tight end as a result.

    Knox is questionable to return to Monday night's game against the Titans due to a hand injury.

    Analysis: Knox appeared to suffer the injury at the end of the third quarter. It would be a significant blow for the Bills if he's unable to return down the stretch, as he's emerged as one of Josh Allen's favorite targets so far this season.

  • 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. Knox now has five TD catches in his last four outings -- those five scores lead all tight ends in what's been one of fantasy's most surprising developments. He also sits fifth in yardage at the…read more

  • 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.

    Knox recorded five receptions on eight targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Knox finished second on the team with eight targets and continued to serve a key role in the red zone. The performance marked the first multi-touchdown performance of his career, and he's now found the end zone in three consecutive contests. Knox tallied the first score of the game on a 25-yard reception late in the opening quarter and later hit pay dirt again on a one-yard catch with 14 minutes remaining in the game.

  • 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. While the latter two players will have depth roles, it's clear that Knox will be the pass-catching threat in a high-powered offense. He's had…read more

    Knox hauled in six of eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Bills' 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

    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.

  • Quiet Week 17 outing

    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 Cole Beasley (knee) looking iffy for Saturday's playoff game, Knox could be counted on even more in the short-to-mid range passing game.

Lee Smith hauled in one of the TDs, and star wideout Stefon Diggs the other three, as Knox remains with three scores of his own on the season (all coming since Week 12). It didn't help that he dropped an easy score from Josh Allen that was right in his hands. A regular-season finale…read more

    Analysis: Knox had to exit Buffalo's Week 15 win because of a stinger, though he was capable of returning to the contest while tying a season high in receiving yards. After going scoreless over his first six appearances of the season, the Ole Miss product has proceeded to go on a tear by posting a trio of TDs in his past four games.

    Knox is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Broncos due to a stinger, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Knox suffered a similar injury in the Week 14 win over the Steelers, so this is certainly a concern for him and the Bills. With backup Tyler Kroft inactive again, the Bills will be down to blocker Lee Smith if Knox is unable to return. He did score the Bills' first touchdown of the afternoon, so no matter what the game is not a total loss for his managers.

  • Second biggest yardage game of 2020

    Knox secured four of seven targets for 34 yards during Sunday's win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Knox suffered a stinger in the game but returned after a brief absence and should be OK to play in Week 15, even if the Bills take it easy on him in practice this week. 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. The second-year tight end still needs to work on ball security, as he also lost a fumble in the contest, but it wouldn't be surprising if this type of workload becomes the standard for Knox…read more

  • Returns to SNF

    Knox (neck) returned to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Ryan Talbot of NewYorkupstate.com reports.

    Analysis: Knox came back in late in the third quarter after suffering a stinger just after halftime and caught a pass. He'll continue to top Buffalo's depth chart at tight end while healthy.

    Knox (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Knox suffered a stinger early in the third quarter. With Tyler Kroft (coach's decision) inactive, Lee Smith is the only healthy tight end left for the Bills while Knox battles this injury.

  • Best game of 2020

    Knox caught all four of his targets for 27 yards and a score in Buffalo's win over the 49ers on Monday.

    Analysis: The second-year tight end almost got in a second time but was stopped just short of the goal line, and it's encouraging for his fantasy value that he's starting to be used regularly near the end zone. 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. While he's still down in the target pecking order,…read more

  • Makes one catch count

    Knox snagged his only target for a two-yard score in Buffalo's 27-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: This could have been a much better day for the second-year tight end, as fellow position mate Tyler Kroft was inactive for the contest, while Knox caught his TD on the team's opening drive. However, that was the last time Josh Allen looked his way. Knox became the 12th different Bills player with a TD catch this season, but that in itself tells you a lot about how many weapons the Bills have and how far down the pecking order the tight end position lies. Knox has yet to catch more than two…read more

    Knox caught two of four targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Cardinals

    Analysis: Knox saw a season-high 70 percent of offensive snaps last weekend while fellow tight end Tyler Kroft was on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but the former wasn't able to parlay that opportunity into much fantasy production. 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.

  • In line for extra targets?

    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.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was considered questionable for Sunday's contest while continuing to battle the calf issue, but he'll be suiting up against Seattle. Knox should work as Buffalo's No. 1 tight end with Tyler Kroft the next man up should he be limited or aggravate the injury.

    Knox (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Though Knox returned from reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, he remained limited in back-to-back practices due to the calf injury that sidelined him back in Week 6. Given that Knox hasn't practiced fully since suffering the injury Oct. 13, the Bills may be hesitant to keep him active in Week 9. If Knox is ultimately sidelined or limited Sunday, Tyler Kroft would likely serve as the Bills' top tight end.

Though Knox no longer resides on the reserve/COVID-19 list, he's apparently still troubled by the calf injury that kept him sidelined for the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs.

    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.

    Knox (calf/illness) isn't practicing Wednesday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Knox remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list, though he'll be eligible for activation once 10 days have passed since his last negative test. The tight end was battling a calf injury at the time of his placement on the list, so he'll have multiple issues to heal up from before he's able to practice again. At this point, Knox looks unlikely to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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).

    Analysis: Knox tied for second on the team in receptions while finishing third in targets and receiving yards.

    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.
