News: 2 days agoKnox (groin/ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: With Knox managing a pair of injury concerns, the tight end is a candidate to miss Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers. Knox logged nine snaps in Buffalo's exhibition opener against the Bears en route to logging one target. Once the regular season starts, the 2019 first-rounder is slated to maintain a role in the Bills offense as a blocker and pass catcher, but the continued presence of 2023 first-rounder Dalton Kincaid limits the fantasy upside of Knox when both players are available.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Knox enters his sixth season with the Bills. This offseason he reworked his contract to free up additional cap space for Buffalo. After Dalton Kincaid became a major factor in the offense in 2023, Knox's role in the offense declined. He also missed five games with a wrist injury. Last season's 186 receiving yards represented a big dip for Knox, after consecutive seasons with 500-plus yards and a total of 15 touchdowns. It's hard to see him having a major offensive role unless Kincaid misses time, so Knox shouldn't be drafted in most fantasy leagues.
