Should You Start or Sit Dawson Knox in Week 17?
Knox saw his last chance at value this fantasy season come and go without much more than a whimper in Week 15 as Dalton Kincaid (knee) returned to action.
He had a pair of chunk gains, something that seemingly everyone who played in the Bills/Lions shootout can claim. Outside of that, it was a lot of nothing and certainly not enough to give me any level of confidence that his fantasy stock can survive as Kincaid is worked back into his full-time role.
Over the past three weeks, with the Bills scoring 114 points and Kincaid either out or at less than full strength, Knox has turned 75 routes into 69 touchdown-less yards.
