Bills’ Knox could become TE1 after Kincaid injury

Bills’ Dawson Knox could be set for a breakout season after an injury to starting tight end Tommy Sweeney

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could be in line for a breakout season after the team placed starting tight end Tommy Sweeney on injured reserve with a foot injury. Knox, 25, has shown flashes of his potential in his first two seasons in the NFL, but he has been held back by injuries and inconsistent play. With Sweeney out for the season, Knox will have the opportunity to step into a starting role and prove that he can be a reliable target for quarterback Josh Allen.

Knox has the potential to be a productive tight end in the NFL

Knox was a standout player at Ole Miss, where he set the school record for career touchdown receptions by a tight end. He was drafted by the Bills in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and he has shown flashes of his potential in his first two seasons in the league. In 2020, he caught 24 passes for 388 yards and four touchdowns. Last season, he caught 38 passes for 494 yards and five touchdowns.

Knox has some tough competition for the starting tight end job

Knox will have to compete with Jacob Hollister and Quintin Morris for the starting tight end job. Hollister is a veteran tight end who has played in the NFL for six seasons. He is a reliable blocker and receiver, and he is a good fit for the Bills’ offense. Morris is a young tight end who has shown some promise in his limited opportunities. He is a good athlete with good hands, and he could be a breakout candidate this season.

Knox could be a valuable target for Allen this season

Knox has the potential to be a valuable target for Allen this season. He is a big, physical tight end who can make contested catches and block well in the running game. He is also a good route runner, and he can create separation from defenders. If Knox can stay healthy and consistent, he could be one of Allen’s favorite targets this season.

The Bills are hoping that Knox can take the next step in his development this season

The Bills are hoping that Knox can take the next step in his development this season. He has shown flashes of his potential, but he has yet to put it all together for a full season. With Sweeney out for the season, Knox will have the opportunity to prove that he can be a reliable target for Allen and a key contributor to the Bills’ offense.
