News: 3 days agoKnox was among the Bills who didn't see action in Saturday's preseason game against the Browns.

Spin: The Bills rested most of their key skill players in the contest, a trend that could continue in Thursday's preseason finale against the Steelers. Looking ahead, Knox -- who agreed to a new three-year deal with the team in March -- is once again set to work in tandem with fellow TE Dalton Kincaid, an arrangement that resulted in Knox posting a 36/417/4 receiving line on 49 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2025, while Kincaid turned in a 39/571/5 line in 12 regular-season contests. From a fantasy perspective, Kincaid brings more pass-catching upside to the table, but Knox should still earn enough targets in 2026 to merit roster consideration in deeper formats.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Knox enters his eighth season as a solid role player for the Buffalo offense. He is on the field quite a bit (20th among tight ends in snaps last season), but defers to Dalton Kincaid when it comes to the team's top target priority at the TE position. Even when Kincaid was sidelined last season, Knox was limited to only 3.6 targets and 6.1 fantasy points per game. Knox has never posted a top-10 fantasy campaign and has finished outside the top 30 in PPG each of the last three seasons. Even if Kincaid misses additional time, Knox will max out as a fantasy TE2.
