Dawson Knox

Week 2 Finish: TE18

In Week 1, Dawson Knox saw only two targets and had one reception but the totals increased against the Tennessee Titans and he finished the week with four receptions on five targets for 41 yards.

This game against the Miami Dolphins has the potential to be a big game for Knox as the Dolphins have struggled against tight ends in the early part of the season. In Week 1, the Dolphins allowed Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry to combine for 53 receiving yards on five receptions.

Then this past week, Mark Andrews had nine receptions, 104 receiving yards, and a touchdown while rookie Isaiah Likely had four receptions for 43 yards.

While Knox is not on the same level as Mark Andrews, it is not unreasonable to think Knox could have over five receptions, 50 yards, and score his first touchdown of the season.

Projected Week 3 Finish: Top 8 finish

Tyler Bass

Week 2 Finish: K6

Tyler Bass would finish just outside the Top 5 this week after connecting on both field goal attempts of 37 and 49 yards as well as all four extra points attempts. The Buffalo Bills should be able to move the ball against the Dolphins’ defense and the question will be whether the drives end in field goals or touchdowns.

Based on the first two games of the season, the coaching staff seems more willing to try for the touchdown versus settle for a field goal and that is why I believe Tyler Bass likely finishes between being the sixth and tenth highest scoring kicker this week.

Projected Week 3 Finish: Between 6 and 10th highest scoring kicker
