With the current Tight End landscape out there in fantasy football, I will be covering a few TEs that are likely un-owned in your league. To start this rabbit chase, I am going to attempt to sell you on Dawson Knox. Dawson was never on my radar until he caught his first TD of the season in week 3 for the Bills. He also had a long catch-and-run prior to that TD, which also caught my eye.

Just look at this monster of a man:

What we know:

• 6’ 4” 254lbs
• Former High School Quarterback turned Tight End.
• Walked on at Ole Miss and never caught a TD, yet had 18.9 yards per catch in his 2018 season with lots of mouths to feed in a potent offense. Looking at you AJ Brown and DK Metcalf
• Buffalo likes what they saw and traded up to grab him in the 3rd round of the 2019 draft 
• 40 time – 4.64
• Still learning and is only 22 years old 
• Saw 63% snap share in week 3

What I think:

Looking at the 3-0 Bills I am intrigued. Mind you, they started with a Patriots like schedule. Jets, Giants and Bengals. Looking at their roster they have a small group of WRs that are not ideal redzone targets. John Brown has looked good, but is 5’ 11” and is more of a deep threat. Cole Beasley is 5’ 8” and your typical slot receiver. Zay Jones is 6’ 2” and has had his time to show he is a capable receiver... spoiler, he is not.

The Bills have been in favorable game plans to focus on their rushing game with Singletary/Gore/Allen leading the charge. The match-up this week against the Patriots will be the first time the Bills will need to put up points in droves to stay alive. Knox should see a few opportunities to stretch the field and potentially get into the end-zone. He’s an agile TE with great hands. He can line up inline or flexed out and should be getting more snaps as his coaches have been praising him for his blocking skills as well.

Happy hunting and good luck this weekend!
