Jackson Hawes - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Not targeted in loss to Broncos Hawes was not targeted during Buffalo's 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to Denver on Saturday.

Impact Hawes went untargeted in the Bills' playoff loss while fellow tight ends Dalton Kincaid (6-83-1) and Dawson Knox (3-32-0) both had multiple grabs. A rookie fifth-round pick, Hawes has proven himself as an impactful blocker for the Bills, and while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games he also managed a respectable 16-187-3 line (19 targets) despite operating as the clear No. 3 target at the position behind Kincaid and Knox. Kincaid is locked in as Buffalo's top pass-catching TE for 2026 and beyond, but Knox carries exorbitant cap hit next season and will be a candidate to either restructure his deal this offseason or be cut, potentially paving the way for Hawes to handle increased opportunities.

No targets in wild-card win Hawes wasn't targeted during Sunday's 27-24 wild-card game win over the Jaguars.

Impact Hawes played 35 percent of offensive snaps compared to 48 percent for Dawson Knox and 44 percent for Dalton Kincaid. Despite the similar playing time, Hawes was far less involved in the passing game, as each of Buffalo's other two tight ends notched three catches. Hawes will continue to fill a depth role in the AFC divisional round against the Broncos.

One catch in blowout win Hawes caught his only target for no gain during Sunday's 35-8 win versus the Jets.

Impact As usual, Hawes was used only sparingly in the passing game in Week 18, trailing in targets at tight end behind both Keleki Latu (3) and Dawson Knox (2). Hawes's 22 snaps at tight end were second on the team to Latu's 48, but that was likely due to Buffalo's decision to rest some of its more valuable players. In the Wild Card Round at Jacksonville and potentially beyond, the Bills will probably continue to lean on Hawes as part of a committee at tight end along with Knox and 2023 first-rounder Dalton Kincaid, with Hawes deployed primarily in-line.

No targets Sunday Hawes wasn't targeted while playing 21 of the Bills' 73 offensive snaps during Sundays' 13-12 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Hawes operated as the Bills' No. 2 tight end during Sunday's loss, playing behind Dawson Knox (5-30-0) while Dalton Kincaid (knee) was sidelined. However, this didn't translate to an increase in production, as Hawes wasn't targeted in Week 17. Across 16 appearances this season, the rookie from Georgia Tech has caught 15 of 18 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns. He's expected to remain a depth option in Buffalo's TE room in the Week 18 matchup against the Jets.

Catches two passes vs. Cleveland Hawes caught both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Impact The rookie from Georgia Tech logged 32 offensive snaps and played more than Dalton Kincaid (19 snaps), but that was likely a product of Buffalo's run-heavy game script while playing from ahead during Sunday's win. Hawes has now caught 15 of 18 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns across 15 appearances this season. He's expected to remain a depth option in the Bills' tight-end corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Catches clutch touchdown pass Hawes caught a three-yard touchdown pass during the Bills' 39-34 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact Hawes served mostly as a blocker during Sunday's game, but he came up clutch late in the fourth quarter, when he slipped out of the line of scrimmage into the end zone and caught a three-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen to extend the Bills' lead to 39-28 after the point-after try. Hawes played 34 snaps on offense, which was just behind Dawson Knox (35) and ahead of the returning Dalton Kincaid (22). Hawes is now up to 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 152 yards and three touchdowns through 13 regular-season games.

Targeted once in win Hawes caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Steelers.

Impact Hawes played 52 of the Bills 74 offensive snaps Sunday, his highest snap share of the season and just one fewer snap than fellow tight end Dawson Knox. With teammate Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined, the 24-year-old Hawes has continued to see an uptick in usage in the Bills passing game, but it has not yet led to any major production. Based on his limited target share, the rookie remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

With Kincaid reportedly now week-to-week, Hawes appears primed to benefit from increased opportunities on offense alongside Dawson Knox, beginning Sunday at home against the Buccaneers.

Impact With fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) inactive for the first time in 2025, Hawes played a season-high 54 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps.
