BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~88 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~96
ANALYSIS: Knox was one of the biggest breakouts at the tight end position in 2021, if not the biggest. He went from being a touchdown-dependent pass catcher who was lucky to average 30 receiving yards per game to being a dominant red-zone fantasy force who set career-highs across the board and helped his fantasy managers in multiple categories.
Knox's nine touchdowns tied him for tops among tight ends as he became Josh Allen's favorite weapon whenever the high-powered Bills closed in on the end zone. While his reception and yardage numbers have increased, they are still not at a level where Knox can be mentioned in the same breath as top tight ends like Kansas City's Travis Kelce or Baltimore's Mark Andrews.
The problem for Knox is that he will be hard-pressed to gain targets with top target Stefon Diggs and emerging star Gabriel Davis as Allen's wonderful wideouts.
He could score double-digit touchdowns in 2022 and be the centerpiece of Buffalo's offense inside the 10-yard-line, but fantasy managers should not expect more than 60 catches and 700 yards from him unless Diggs gets hurt and/or Knox takes another humongous step in his development. Draft Knox as a TE1 and enjoy his touchdown total.
