Knox hauled in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Knox played 62 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's season-ending playoff loss to Kansas City, compared to 46 percent of offensive snaps for second-year pro Dalton Kincaid (two catches for 13 yards on four targets). Across 16 regular-season appearances, Knox racked up 22 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown (33 targets). The veteran tight end has two more years remaining on his deal with the Bills, though the team has a potential 'out' after the 2025 season.

Knox hauled in his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Knox played 62 percent of offensive snaps during Buffalo's season-ending playoff loss to Kansas City, compared to 46 percent of offensive snaps for second-year pro Dalton Kincaid (two catches for 13 yards on four targets). Across 16 regular-season appearances, Knox racked up 22 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown (33 targets). The veteran tight end has two more years remaining on his deal with the Bills, though the team has a potential 'out' after the 2025 season.
Knox caught two of three targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos. Knox played 46 of the Bills' 76 offensive snaps in the contest, ahead of both Dalton Kincaid (29) and Quintin Morris (5). Even with his elevated snap share, the veteran tight end was unable to get much going on his three targets. With Sunday's victory against the Broncos, the Bills are now set to face the Ravens in the divisional-round on Jan. 19. Knox will likely continue to operate in a limited role against Baltimore while sharing the majority of tight end duties with Kincaid, the preferred option in the passing game.
Knox did not play a single snap in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots. With the Bills locking in the No. 2 seed in the AFC after Week 17, Knox and several other players missed all or most of the Week 18 contest to rest for the playoffs. The 28-year-old Knox and fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid watched from the sideline as teammate Quintin Morris handled every tight end snap in the game. Knox will return to his role as the Bills' primary backup at the position in the team's next game, when the Bills host the Broncos in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
Knox caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets Knox had another quiet day in Week 17, continuing a 2024 campaign which has been mostly disappointing for fantasy purposes. The veteran played 34 of the Bills' 70 offensive snaps in the contest, slightly ahead of fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (31). It's possible that gap in playing time will increase in Week 18, as the Bills may choose to rest their starters against the Patriots. In this case, Knox could see extra opportunities against New England in the season finale.
Knox caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots. Knox ended Sunday's contest with a modest receiving total despite leading Buffalo tight ends in snap share. The veteran played 56 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps against New England while Dalton Kincaid handled a 34 percent snap share. It was Kincaid, however, who saw more targets from Josh Allen, with seven passes coming his way. The 28-year-old Knox will continue to be extremely difficult to trust in Week 17 when the Bills host the Jets.
Knox caught two of three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions. Knox played 51 of the Bills' 70 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Buffalo tight end. Meanwhile, teammate Dalton Kincaid returned from a three-game absence due to a knee injury and saw four more targets than Knox despite playing 17 less snaps. The 28-year-old Knox will likely continue to see his role decrease with the more dynamic Kincaid back in the mix. The veteran is best left out of fantasy lineups going forward with a Week 16 matchup against the Patriots on tap.
Knox caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. Knox operated as the Bills' No. 1 tight end Sunday with teammate Dalton Kincaid (knee) sidelined for the third straight game. Despite playing 82 percent of Buffalo's offensive snaps, the veteran was targeted just once in the contest. With Kincaid possibly nearing a return, Knox is unlikely to hold much fantasy value going forward with such limited usage in the passing game. The Bills will visit the Lions in Week 15.
Knox caught both of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers. Knox was the only Bills player to exceed 30 receiving yards as Buffalo relied primarily on the run in this snowy victory. Dalton Kincaid (knee) hasn't suited up since Week 10, and Knox has racked up 94 receiving yards in the two games Kincaid has missed, sandwiched around Buffalo's Week 12 bye. If Kincaid remains unavailable in Week 14 against the Rams, Knox would be in line for elevated usage in the passing game again.
Knox is in line to maintain a larger role Sunday against the 49ers, as Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out. Knox ascended to the top of the tight end depth chart in Kincaid's absence against the Chiefs in Week 11 and proceeded to turn six targets into four catches for 40 yards. Buffalo's Week 12 bye didn't provide Kincaid sufficient time to recover, so Knox should maintain a sizable role against a 49ers defense that has limited tight ends to 384 receiving yards this season -- second-fewest in the NFL.
