Dawson Knox is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for tight ends. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 23% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Knox lucked out that Buffalo did not trade for Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz or any other tight end during the offseason, so he remains Josh Allen’s No. 1 TE. The Bills added Allen’s former college teammate Jacob Hollister to the tight end fold during the offseason, but he was released at the end of training camp. Knox is Buffalo’s ride-or-die tight end for 2021, and that makes him an attractive get for fantasy managers needing depth at this position.
Knox caught all four of the passes thrown his way in Week 1, which is a humongous step up from last year when he had the worst reception-to-target percentage among Buffalo pass catchers. Knox finished last season with five touchdown receptions over his last nine games (regular season plus postseason) and should be targeted inside the red zone as often as any Bills receiver other than Stefon Diggs. Pick him up and he could play his way into being your TE1 later in the campaign.
