Dawson Knox — 2026 Fantasy Outlook

Shawn's rank: TE46Bye 7Updated July 30, 2026

Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.

In 2023, Knox barely had a role over his first seven games (15/102/1 over 28 targets), followed by five missed weeks due to a wrist injury that required surgery. Josh Allen only looked his way 11 times over his final seven games (9/97/2).

Even with Dalton Kincaid missing some time and underperforming expectations in 2024, Knox had a career low in targets (33). He finished with 22 catches for 311 yards and one score while working more downfield (14.1 yards per catch – seven catches of 20 yards or more).

Knox finished last season with a three-year high in catches (36), receiving yards (417), touchdowns (4), and targets (49), thanks to another banged-up season by Dalton Kincaid. He only had two games (6/93 and 5/30) with more than three catches while playing his best in Week 15 (3/37/2).
