Tommy Sweeney Path to targets gets murkier
Sweeney appears to be the No. 3 tight end on the depth chart following Buffalo's signing of O.J. Howard this week.
Analysis: Dawson Knox will remain the starter, but Howard has a stronger skillset and more NFL experience than Sweeney, so the latter is now the No. 3 entering offseason work. After catching just 17 balls over his first two NFL seasons, the 2019 seventh-rounder may have some work to do just to make the team.
Tommy Sweeney Maintains clear-cut backup role
Sweeney played in 13 games during the 2021 regular season, catching nine of 12 targets for 44 yards and one touchdown.
Analysis: Dawson Knox missed a small bit of time, but even then Sweeney proved he's nowhere near the pass catcher that Knox is. Sweeney does a lot of the little things, but even with his 34 percent snap share -- not bad for a backup tight end -- he's mostly being used for his blocking skills and not his hands. Knox isn't going anywhere since he's now in the upper stratosphere of NFL tight ends, so the best Sweeney can hope for is that the Bills don't bring in too much competition this offseason. After missing all of 2020 due to a heart condition related to COVID, Sweeney's best performance since his 2019 rookie season is a modest 3-30-0 in Week 8 this campaign.
