Per Alaina, Sean McDermott on WGR550 rules out safety Jordan Poyer and tight end Dawson Knox, among others expected, for Sunday’s game against the Steelers.

Related Players: Quintin Morris

Knox has been one of the most-utilized tight ends in the league, and as such, Quintin Morris has been the only other TE to run routes for the team, resulting in a 3-28 stat line through the three games he's been involved. Morris should not be involved in lineups outside of small-game DFS slates.

Bills and TE Dawson Knox reached agreement on a four-year contract extension that ties to him Buffalo through 2026 season, per sources.

Schefter went to say the deal is expected to place Knox in the top-five highest-paid tight ends in the league. He will sign it after practice today. Knox broke out in his third season to the tune of 49-587-9 on 71 targets, which was good enough for a TE7 finish in 2021. While I’d like to see him get more targets, the volume is enough given his quarterback (Josh Allen) and Knox’s athleticism. He’s 73rd percentile or higher in all the key metrics at his position at Player Profiler. He’s a threat for 10+ touchdowns which is relatively rare at the position.

Word has been coming out of Bills camp as of late that Howard was a cut candidate after not impressing this summer. He could find a home somewhere else based on name, but he seems to have a while to go before being fantasy relevant again.

This could put a dent into Knox's fantasy value, but if Howard is utilized like he was in Tampa, he will be a familiar name with little upside.

It is impressive to see Knox practice, but he is only a couple weeks out from the initial break. If Sweeney has to start again, he is best left on the waiver wire.

Knox could return to practice this week but his status for Week 9 is still up in the air. The Bills play the Jags, so there wouldn't appear to be a need to rush Knox back into action this week.

Bills TE Dawson Knox (broken hand) will not play Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. Tommy Sweeney will start.

Sweeney got a touchdown Week 6 after Knox was injured and has some appeal as a streamer against Miami. The Dolphins allow 10.1 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends in half-point PPR formats.

Buffalo has a bye Week 7 so Knox may only end up missing two games after having surgery this week.

Look for Tommy Sweeney to start in his place at tight end, while Gabriel Davis may gain the most opportunity in the pass game from Knox’s absence.
