Should You Start or Sit Dawson Knox in Week 11?
It’s been a very long time since fantasy managers seriously thought about starting Dawson Knox. The last time he did anything of note was Week 16 of the 2022 season! Yet, he’s back on the menu for Week 11.
Outside of the lone game where he caught a touchdown pass in Week 6, Knox’s best game was 7.0 fantasy points. He has a whopping eight games with under 2.0 fantasy points. It’s completely understandable to be very hesitant to start him.
Dalton Kincaid is out this week. Kincaid missed time during last week’s game, too. After running no more than 14 routes in any game this season, Knox ran 23 routes against the Colts.
With Kincaid out, we should expect Knox to be the full-time tight end. He could see upwards of an 80% snap share and will likely set a season-high in routes run.
The Chiefs may have a great defense overall, but they’ve really struggled against tight ends. They allow the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. No team allows a higher percentage of their total receiving yards against tight ends than the staggering 35.8% surrendered by the Chiefs. It is the highest in the league by an impossibly wide margin (the next most is 28.5%).
Given the Chiefs’ elite run defense, the Bills should air it out this week. Amari Cooper is likely to return, but Keon Coleman remains out. Knox could be the third option behind Khalil Shakir and Cooper in the passing game. He is a very viable streaming option.
