Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox

According to reports, Knox returned to practice for the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, Dec. 6. The tight end was placed on injured reserve in late October after undergoing wrist surgery.

However, the Bills have now opened the 21-day practice window for Knox. He looked sharp in practice on Wednesday and could be in contention to feature against the Chiefs in Week 14.

Nonetheless, fantasy managers should wait for further updates on Knox. It's not a safe option to pick the player until the Bills upgrade him to the active roster.

Knox has recorded 102 yards and one touchdown on 15 receptions this season. He has racked up 18.2 fantasy points across seven games, averaging 2.6 FPPG.
