2023 Fantasy Outlook
Knox’s 2022 season was similar to his 2021 campaign, except for a noticeable drop in touchdowns from nine to six. He once again dressed for 15 games, finishing six targets, one catch and 70 yards short of his previous year’s totals. The 6-foot-4 tight end has red zone chemistry with star quarterback Josh Allen, but since Knox has yet to break 50 catches or 600 yards in any of his four NFL seasons, his fantasy value is tied primarily to his touchdown total. His 2022 red zone target total was disappointing in that regard, as Knox dropped from 19 such looks in 2021 to just 11, which is only one more red zone target than he saw as a part-time player in 2020. Another production dip seems likely in 2023 after the Bills spent their first-round pick on TE Dalton Kincaid, who had 1,400 yards and 16 TDs over his final two seasons at Utah. The rookie may not take over the starting job but probably won't need long to cut into Knox's snaps/routes/targets. Even if Kincaid mostly plays in two-TE sets, his presence could mean more blocking snaps and fewer routes run for Knox. Read Past Outlooks
Three grabs in return
Knox caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid (shoulder) caught five passes on eight targets on the day, but Knox produces more yardage with his grabs in his first game action since Week 7. Kincaid left the game late in the fourth quarter, and the severity of his injury isn't yet clear, so while Knox had a modest role Sunday in his return from wrist surgery, he could be a bigger factor in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Knox broke out in his third NFL campaign last season, setting career highs across the board. He
ranked just 20th among tight ends in targets (71) despite missing only two games, but Knox’s 19
red-zone looks tied for fourth at the position, and he tied for the league lead among tight ends
with nine touchdowns. There’s little reason to think the Bills will change Knox’s role this season,
even after they signed O.J. Howard, considering their approach last season produced 28.4
points per game and an AFC East crown. Knox’s red-zone chemistry with quarterback Josh
Allen is apparent, but there remain plenty of mouths to feed between the 20s in an offense that
likes to take advantage of Allen’s arm strength by pushing the ball downfield to Stefon Diggs
and Gabriel Davis. Knox offers a nice blend of size and speed, with a 4.57 40 at 254 pounds,
but given his dependence on touchdowns, he could struggle to match the consistency of some
similarly regarded tight ends. That’s especially true in PPR formats, even if he has big games
here and there.
