Knox (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale at home against New York.
Knox will face an intriguing opportunity versus the Jets' reeling secondary Week 18 in the event that fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), who is officially listed as questionable, isn't able to suit up. If Kincaid can't go Sunday, Knox will start while rookie fifth-round pick Jackson Hawes handles No. 2 reps. Quarterback Josh Allen (foot) also has been cleared to play this weekend, though it remains to be seen how much the Bills will push key players, and whether the team will opt to have its starters play the entire game. Buffalo is currently the No. 7 seed on the AFC side of the playoffs, but the team could climb to the No. 5 or No. 6 spot with a win, dependent on matchup results around the league.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Limited in practice again
Rotowire
Knox (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Knox and fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) have both been listed as limited on back-to-back practice reports, though Buffalo held a walk-through session Wednesday. During Buffalo's loss to the Eagles in Week 17, Knox managed to play through his lingering knee injury while Kincaid was kept inactive. Both TEs will have one more chance to upgrade to full reps Friday, in advance of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Limited listing on tap
Rotowire
Knox (knee) will be listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
As will Dalton Kincaid (knee), with both tight ends now having two more chances to upgrade to full participation before the Bills post their Week 18 injury designations Friday. It remains to be seen how the team plans to proceed with its banged up players as Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets approaches, with Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com noting Wednesday that at this stage coach Sean McDermott hasn't provided any updates on who will or won't be playing this weekend.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Nabs five receptions in spot-start
Rotowire
Knox (knee) hauled in all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles.
Knox got the start in place of Dalton Kincaid (knee) after barely practicing this week while dealing with a knee injury of his own. The veteran backup showed no visible limitations once the game kicked off, finishing the narrow loss with his second-highest reception and target totals through 16 appearances this season. Knox would have had an even bigger day had his touchdown grab in the fourth quarter not been overturned by replay review. Kincaid's Week 18 status is still uncertain, but Knox has been able to provide deep-league value down the stretch even in games the former has been active in, though it's worth noting the Bills may rest some key players in a finale that only affects seeding.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Listed as active vs. Eagles
Rotowire
Knox (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Knox was deemed a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before being listed as limited Friday and questionable for Sunday. With Dalton Kincaid (knee) inactive, Knox is in a position to lead Buffalo's Week 17 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes and Keleki Latu available to mix in. Knox thus represents a possible pivot option for those who would normally rely on Kincaid in their fantasy lineups.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Questionable to face Eagles
Rotowire
Knox (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Both Knox and fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) officially are listed as questionable for Week 17 after having logged DNP/DNP/LP practice slates. Either Knox or Kincaid will stand to benefit from a slight uptick in opportunities if they are able to suit up while the other is sidelined. Meanwhile, rookie Jackson Hawes will inherit a substantial role in the event that both Knox and Kincaid are unable to play versus the Eagles. Full clarity on the state of Buffalo's tight end corps will arrive no later than 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Dealing with knee issue
Rotowire
Knox (knee) was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.
Knox may have hurt his knee in Sunday's win over the Browns, though he played his usual amount (68 percent offensive snap share). Buffalo held a walkthrough Wednesday, so more clarity should come regarding Knox's status over the next two days. If Knox ends up unable to play Sunday against Philadelphia, Dalton Kincaid (knee) would likely see even more work as the No. 1 tight end (if he's able to play) while Jackson Hawes could have a larger role as well.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Just one catch in Week 16
Rotowire
Knox caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
The 29-year-old logged 34 offensive snaps and played over both Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps) and Jackson Hawes (32 snaps) during Sunday's win. Knox has been an important part of the Bills' passing attack over the last five contests, catching 16 of 21 targets for 185 yards and two touchdowns during that span. He's expected to operate as Buffalo's No. 2 tight end in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Pair of TD grabs in win
Rotowire
Knox secured three of four targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Knox tied for second with fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid in catches and targets while also checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards. Knox doubled up his previous season-long tally in TDs with Sunday's performance, and he now has at least three receptions in four consecutive games.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Catches three passes in win
Rotowire
Knox caught three of four targets for 28 yards in the Bills' 26-7 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
With Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) still idle for Week 13, Knox drew four targets to Jackson Hawes' one. Knox's three catches tied James Cook and Ty Johnson for the team lead against Pittsburgh. Through 12 games this season, Knox has a 19-223-1 receiving line on 29 targets. He carries minimal fantasy appeal but could be a plug-and-play option next Sunday against the Bengals' league-worst defense against tight ends if Kincaid misses another contest.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is out for Week 11 against Tampa Bay, and Knox is worth using as a starter in deeper leagues. In Week 10 at Miami, when Kincaid was injured, Knox had season highs in catches (three) and yards (37) on four targets. Kincaid also missed Week 6 at Atlanta, and Knox scored his lone touchdown of the season in that game. The Buccaneers are tough against opposing tight ends, but five guys have scored at least 10.3 PPR points against Tampa Bay this year.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Chance to step up with Kincaid out
Rotowire
Knox could take on a larger role Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports that Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has been ruled out.
Knox typically cedes the majority of pass-catching opportunities to Kincaid, but Kincaid's absence creates an opportunity for Knox and rookie firth-round pick Jackson Hawes to step up. In Kincaid's only previous absence of the season, Week 6 against the Falcons, Knox was targeted twice and scored a 19-yard touchdown on his only catch.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) could be out in Week 11 against Tampa Bay and maybe longer, which would put Knox in a potentially prominent role for the Bills. In Week 10 at Miami when Kincaid was injured, Knox had season highs in catches (three) and yards (37) on four targets. I wouldn't consider Knox a must-start tight end, but he could be useful in deeper leagues against the Buccaneers. And he should be added in all tight-end premium leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Three catches in Week 10 loss
Rotowire
Knox secured three of four targets for 37 yards in the Bills' 30-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Knox saw a slightly larger role than usual, partly due to Dalton Kincaid exiting early because of a hamstring issue. Both Knox's reception and receiving yardage totals were season highs, and the veteran could be in for another relatively busy day if Kincaid is sidelined for a Week 11 home matchup against the Buccaneers.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Catches one pass vs. Chiefs
Rotowire
Knox caught his only target for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.
The veteran tight end remained a minor part of the Bills' offensive game plan for the fourth consecutive game, totaling just five receptions for 79 yards and a touchdowns during that span. Expect Knox to continue operating as Buffalo's top backup tight end, contributing more as a blocker than a receiver in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Scores TD on one catch
Rotowire
Knox brought in one of two targets for a 19-yard touchdown in the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday night.
The veteran tight end rose to the top of the depth chart Monday night due to Dalton Kincaid (oblique) being inactive, but Knox ultimately garnered a minimal amount of Josh Allen's attention. Nevertheless, Knox made good on his one opportunity, getting into the end zone with 8:01 remaining in the first quarter to erase an early 7-0 deficit. The score was Knox's first since Week 6 of last season, but his run as the No. 1 option at the position may be limited to just Monday's game since Kincaid figures to have a good chance of getting healthy over Buffalo's Week 7 bye.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Added snaps likely Monday
Rotowire
Knox figures to see added opportunities Monday night against the Falcons, with fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (oblique) inactive for the contest.
With Kincaid, who leads the Bills with 287 receiving yards through five games, unavailable, Knox -- who has logged a 6-54-0 receiving line in that span -- represents a late plug-in option for fantasy managers who would normally rely on Kincaid. Jackson Hawes (four catches for 54 yards and a TD thus far) is Buffalo's other active tight end Monday.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Catches two passes vs. Patriots
Rotowire
Knox caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.
Prior to Sunday night's loss, Knox hadn't caught a pass since the Bills' Week 2 win over the Jets. The veteran tight end from Ole Miss has primarily served as a blocker this season, catching six of 10 targets for 54 yards across Buffalo's first five games. He's expected to continue operating behind Dalton Kincaid in the Bills' Week 6 matchup against the Falcons.

Bills' Dawson Knox: No catches again Sunday
Rotowire
Knox failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.
This is the second consecutive game in which Knox has failed to record a reception, despite logging 55 offensive snaps during that span. The Ole Miss product appears firmly behind Dalton Kincaid in Buffalo's tight-end room, as Kincaid has caught six of eight targets for 96 yards and two touchdowns over the last two weeks. Knox is likely to have a similar role in the Bills' Week 5 contest against the Patriots, serving primarily as a blocker rather than a receiving option.

Bills' Dawson Knox: Two grabs in Week 2
Rotowire
Knox caught two of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.
Knox's five targets Sunday were second only to fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid, who saw six targets from quarterback Josh Allen. The 28-year-old Knox did play more offensive snaps, however, finishing with 41 snaps while Kincaid played 36 snaps. Despite the increased target share, Knox should not be considered for fantasy purposes as long as Kincaid is healthy. The Bills are set to host the Dolphins in Week 3.
