Advantage: 2020
This is a battle of two below-average tight end squads, but at best, the current unit is an average one. The Bills have never sported a modern-day tight end threat. But there’s hope Dawson Knox has potential to turn into one. He’s still young and hasn’t gotten there yet. Behind Knox, Tyler Kroft is by far a bigger threat than Logas Thomas or Nick O’Leary ever were, but the problem is keeping Kroft on the field.
