Fantasy Football Player Notes

Sanders will miss Week 8's game against the Bears, as he is still on the COVID-19 reserve list. When he does return, he should provide borderline WR3 value whenever Michael Thomas is out of the lineup. Which, as of now, appears to be for the foreseeable future.

He was someone to snag off waivers because he had a job that netted 12-plus touches, but now that he's on the IR, he's droppable. Even when he comes back, it's fair to think he's a backup considering how well Wayne Gallman has played.

Knox had a respectable rookie season, playing nearly 2/3rds of the snaps and seeing 50 targets. He saw plenty of deep targets, ranking seventh in aDOT (9.1) among tight ends who saw at least 50 targets, ahead of Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and Darren Waller. Unfotunately, he brought in just 28 of those targets, likely due to Josh Allen's inaccuracy downfield. With Stefon Diggs added, there should be fewer targets to go around in Buffalo, so although there are positive signs for Knox, it's unlikely they'll be fantasy-relevant this season.
