Bills TE Dawson Knox has been cleared to play Sunday against the Raiders, according to Chris Brown of the Buffalo Bills.

Josh Allen connected with Tyler Kroft for two touchdowns last week in Knox's stead, showing that no matter who is playing tight end, Allen will target them. Knox is a TE3 with TE2 potential this week.

Tight end has not been a focal point of the Bills offensive attack to begin the year, but QB Josh Allen trusts Knox. Jason Croom should see majority of the snaps for the Bills but is not a fantasy factor.

Dawson Knox is in concussion protocol.

Knox has just three catches this season so far in two games, but does have 64 yards receiving while being targeted six times. Gabriel Davis would be next up if Knox can't go in Week 3 but there are probably safer options in most leagues.

The addition of Stefon Diggs along with rookies Gabriel Davis and running back Zack Moss give the Bills even more options in the screen game. Dawson Knox also caught a screen pass Sunday. It was clearly a point of emphasis in training camp, and now Buffalo has a new wrinkle for its offense. It’s particularly useful when going against a defense like the Jets, coached by Gregg Williams, who loves to blitz.

The story went on to say the following: If it looked like the Bills were sticking with shorter passes, the numbers back that up. Allen had an average of 5.5 air yards on his completions, which was right around the middle of the league’s top performers this week. He also attempted only four passes that traveled 20 or more yards in the air. The good news is Allen completed three of those passes after being one of the league’s worst passers in that range a year ago. It’s a small sample size, but promising nonetheless. Of Allen’s 46 passing attempts, 12 of them were thrown at or behind the line of scrimmage. Only Aaron Rogers and Kyler Murray attempted more such passes.
