Jackson Hawes - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Another quiet game Thursday Hawes accrued zero targets during Thursday's 41-31 victory over Detroit.

Impact Hawes started Thursday. He played in 37 of the team's 74 offensive snaps, adding seven on special teams. However, the 25-year-old went without a catch (or target) for a second consecutive game. Hawes finished the 2025 campaign with 16 catches for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Although there's a chance he will find the end zone this season, he could have trouble doing anything other than block while Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox are in the equation.

No output in box score Week 1 Hawes didn't record any offensive snaps during Buffalo's win over the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Hawes was in the starting lineup alongside both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox but served mainly in a blocking capacity, as he failed to record any targets across 25 offensive snaps. The 25-year-old also saw eight snaps on special teams and should continue to see similar usage going forward unless either Kincaid or Knox is forced to miss time.

Talked up by Allen Hawes drew some praise from Josh Allen for his pass-catching skills Thursday, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.

Impact "Everyone thinks of Jackson as the blocking tight end," Allen said. "He has some nuance to his receiving game. His hands are better than people give him credit for. He stays quiet, makes plays." Across 17 regular-season appearances last season, Hawes played 487 offensive snaps and was asked to block on 384 of those. On 103 routes, Hawes caught 16 of his 19 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns. While Allen credited Hawes for his receiving acumen, the tight end isn't expected to be a featured player in the Buffalo passing game this season.

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.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Fails to catch pass in Week 11 win Hawes wasn't targeted in the Bills' win over the Bucs on Sunday.

Impact With Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined, Dawon Knox played 77 percent of the offensive snaps and caught one of three targets for 23 yards. Hawes played 34 percent of the snaps on offense but failed to draw a target from Josh Allen. The fifth-round rookie tight end has eight catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets across 10 games this season.

Hits paydirt in loss to Miami Hawes secured one of two targets for 26 yards and a touchdown during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

Impact Hawes scored his second touchdown of the season versus Miami, a contest that saw top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) depart early due to injury. 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.
