31-Year-Old TackleOT

2025 Fantasy Outlook

Dawkins missed out on the Pro Bowl in 2024 after having earned nods in three straight seasons from 2021-23, but he remains a reliable starter at LT for Buffalo. While superior in the running game to pass protection, Dawkins' rapport with quarterback Josh Allen and the rest of Buffalo's offensive line - which he's been a key part of since entering the NFL in 2017 - provide reasons for optimism that the 31-year-old's prime can stretch awhile longer.

December 5, 2025

Dawkins has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

ANALYSIS
Dawkins was a full participant in Friday's practice, and after being cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist, the veteran offensive lineman has been given the green light to play Sunday. With Dawkins back at left tackle, Ryan Van Demark will revert to a depth role on the offensive line.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2024

2023

Dawkins, who started all 17 of the Bills' regular season games in 2023, remains entrenched as the team's top left tackle. On the heels of earning his third consecutive Pro Bowl nod, the 2017 second-rounder signed to a three-year extension with the team in March that runs through the 2027 season. The extension was reportedly worth $60.5 million, and at the time was expected to make Dawkins the fourth-highest-paid tackle in the league.

Dawkins is coming off of back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons and is firmly entrenched as the starter at left tackle. This will be his age 28 season and Dawkins is a very good pro in his prime.
