2022 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Leads team in receiving
Knox caught five of seven targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
ANALYSIS
Knox comfortably led the Bills in receiving yards, with his total including a game-long catch of 32 yards while Buffalo tried catching up during the fourth quarter. While his team's offense mostly struggled in the snow Sunday, Knox turned in another solid regular season, catching 48 of 65 targets for 517 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games. With the security of a four-year extension signed back in September, Knox figures to remain a reliable complement for quarterback Josh Allen in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Knox was a surprise third-round pick in 2019, after wrapping up his career at Ole Miss with 39 catches for 605 yards and no touchdowns. The Bills apparently were impressed by his blocking, along with a reported 4.57-second 40-yard dash from his pro day. Two years later, Knox has started 18 of his 27 games, typically playing about 60 percent of offensive snaps when healthy. However, he's made more than his fair share of mistakes, including 10 drops on 50 targets as a rookie, followed by two fumbles (and four drops) on just 24 catches in 2020. While QB Josh Allen has elevated Buffalo's wide receivers, the team hasn’t gotten much from its tight ends in recent years. There was no big offseason addition to correct that problem, though it is possible Jacob Hollister takes snaps from Knox, particularly on passing downs. On the other hand, Knox still has a degree of breakout appeal, given his size/speed combo and likely starting role in a high-powered offense.
