2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dawkins missed out on the Pro Bowl in 2024 after having earned nods in three straight seasons from 2021-23, but he remains a reliable starter at LT for Buffalo. While superior in the running game to pass protection, Dawkins' rapport with quarterback Josh Allen and the rest of Buffalo's offensive line - which he's been a key part of since entering the NFL in 2017 - provide reasons for optimism that the 31-year-old's prime can stretch awhile longer.

Signed a three-year, $60.06 million contract with the Bills in March of 2024.
Won't play Sunday
Dawkins (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Dawkins opened Buffalo's week of practice with back-to-back DNPs after sustaining a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Texans, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With Dawkins and Spencer Brown (shoulder) both out for Week 13, the Bills are expected to start Ryan Van Demark and Chase Lundt at left and right tackle, respectively.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Dawkins, who started all 17 of the Bills' regular season games in 2023, remains entrenched as the team's top left tackle. On the heels of earning his third consecutive Pro Bowl nod, the 2017 second-rounder signed to a three-year extension with the team in March that runs through the 2027 season. The extension was reportedly worth $60.5 million, and at the time was expected to make Dawkins the fourth-highest-paid tackle in the league.
