ANALYSIS: Buffalo’s top tight end might be the best option on many fantasy waiver wires at the moment. He followed up his four-catch performance Week 1 with a sparkling touchdown catch in Week 2. This now gives Knox six touchdowns over his last 11 games (regular-season and playoffs combined) as quarterback Josh Allen has made him a red-zone favorite since the second half of the 2020 season. Meanwhile, after an offseason where Knox was probably worried the Bills would trade for Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz or use a high draft choice on a tight end, his job seems safer than most starting tight ends. No other tight end on the Bills roster even has a target through two games.
Knox will run routes this weekend against a Washington defense that has been underwhelming the first two weeks. You must know going in that Knox’s fantasy value comes from his nose for the end zone. He is a touchdown-dependent player who only had one game with more than 50 receiving yards last year. Top target Stefon Diggs does not allow many other Bills pass catchers to make much money in the open field. Knox still has upside, however, and his penchant for scoring should make him attractive in all fantasy formats if you need a TE.
