Dawson Knox

Despite leading Buffalo's offense in overall snap share in 2025, Knox's target share (11%) and WOPR (0.23) remain modest, capping his weekly ceiling as long as Kincaid holds the primary route-running role.

Joe Brady's move from offensive coordinator to head coach preserves scheme continuity, but some reporting suggests he could look to unlock Kincaid's route-running edge with more snaps, which would pull playing time from Knox's blocking-heavy role.

Season-long target share trended upward through 2025 and Knox logged the highest snap share of any offensive player on the roster, evidence the receiving role has room to expand beyond a blocking-first complementary piece.

Knox holds Buffalo's franchise record for receiving touchdowns by a tight end and tied for second on the team in touchdowns last season, giving him a scoring floor even in weeks with limited target volume.

Knox signed a cap-friendly three-year extension with Buffalo in March 2026, securing his roster spot and role continuity alongside Kincaid rather than facing an offseason competition threat.
