Tight End: Dawson Knox ($3,600)

Dawson Knox has quietly become a contributor for the Bills’ passing attack, totaling 10-of-12 catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers aren’t spectacular, but if you’re looking at it with perspective in mind, that’s solid for any tight end not named Travis Kelce, Darren Waller, George Kittle, or T.J. Hockenson.

Knox is a near-guarantee for usage in a high-octane Bills passing attack, and his cheap price makes him a decent floor play with touchdown upside.

Flex: Chris Carson ($6,300)

Getting Chris Carson at the FLEX spot with the names we’ve been able to get already was a huge surprise to me. He’s a bit cheaper than the elite backs, but he’s getting the same amount of volume.

He has a great Week 4 matchup with San Francisco, who has had a mediocre rushing defense to this point. Carson rounds out what is a very solid set of skill position players.

D/ST: Green Bay Packers ($3,300)

When looking at defenses, I normally don’t aim very high. I try to find defenses that are fairly cheap, but have the potential to best their opponent. I think that pick this week is the Green Bay Packers.

Their pass rushing group is a top-15 unit in the league and they’re going up against an old, washed up Ben Roethlisberger and a terrible Steelers’ offense line. This is the defensive pick this week.
