Dawson Knox vs Tyler Warren: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Dawson Knox and Tyler Warren is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Buffalo Bills tight end put up 5.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Tyler Warren of the Indianapolis Colts averaged 8.9 in 17. A 3.9-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.9 points favors Tyler Warren, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Tyler Warren is the volume tight end in this matchup with 76 receptions for 817 yards, while Dawson Knox profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (4 scores on 36 catches). In weeks where Dawson Knox finds the end zone he out-scores Tyler Warren, but the floor gap is real.
Dawson Knox has his bye in Week 12, and Tyler Warren rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
