Dalton Kincaid Underperforming Despite Steady Volume

Since his return from injury, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has seen consistent usage. In Weeks 15 and 16, the second-year professional earned seven targets and caught four. Unfortunately, it hasn't translated to fantasy football success. Kincaid tallied 53 yards against Detroit but just 15 in the home win over New England. Kincaid leads tight ends in unrealized air yards and often just secures short-area throws. Kincaid continues to appear on the injury report with his knee issue but does not have an injury designation. The Jets have given up the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season, making the already disappointing Kincaid a shaky option for fantasy lineups this weekend.

Dalton Kincaid Does Little With Four Receptions

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for just 15 yards in the team's 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. Kincaid led the team in both catches and targets (seven). However, his yardage total was the seventh-highest mark for the Bills. The entire passing offense was off on Sunday. Josh Allen only threw for 154 yards. Kincaid's Week 16 stat line continues a season-long tendency of underperforming. He'll look to buck that trend when the Bills host the New York Jets in Week 17.

Dalton Kincaid Looking For A Rare TE1 Finish

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has not enjoyed the second-year breakout predicted by many. Through a three-game absence and underwhelming play, Kincaid is the current TE23. The knee injury that cost him time keeps him on the injury report, but there aren't any concerns about Kincaid missing more time. The New England defense is average against tight ends, so the matchup isn't anything to worry about. However, the Bills are favored by 14 points, which could lead to a reliance on the ground game. Kincaid is just outside the TE1 range this week and fantasy managers could look elsewhere given his lack of production.

Dalton Kincaid Catches Four Passes In Return

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 53 yards in the team's 48-42 win against the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old returned to action following a three-game absence due to a knee injury. He was heavily involved in the offense, tying wide receiver Khalil Shakir as the team's target leader (7). He also caught a pass in the endzone that was called back for a penalty. Despite seeing plenty of targets, Kincaid failed to reach double-digit PPR points. With just three games of more than 10 points in 11 opportunities, Kincaid's disappointing season continues.

Dalton Kincaid Active For Week 15

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is officially active for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable, but the expectation was that he'd be able to play on Sunday. The second-year tight end has had an underwhelming season, ranking as the overall TE26 in fantasy football with his 34 catches, 456 yards, and two touchdowns. When healthy, he ranks as a mid-to-high TE2. Managers in 12-team leagues can likely find a better option than Kincaid this week.

Dalton Kincaid Listed As Questionable For Week 15

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's match against the Detroit Lions. Kincaid has missed the past three games and could be in line to return to action this weekend. Kincaid was able to log three full practice sessions this week, which puts him in a great position to return to action. Before this injury, the 25-year-old has had an underwhelming season, averaging just 8.2 PPR points per game during the first ten weeks of the season. During this span, Kincaid averaged just 35.6 yards per game. If Kincaid cannot suit up, veteran Dawson Knox will continue to operate as the TE1. If he does return, fantasy managers should view him as a low-end TE1 facing the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Dalton Kincaid Expected To Return In Week 15

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has logged some full practices and is now on track to play in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. Ian Rapoport says that he expects the second-year tight end to be on the field and return from his three-game absence due to a knee injury. Kincaid has posted 34 receptions, 356 yards, and two scores on 59 targets this season and is the TE20 in terms of fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. Unfortunately, for his week 15 matchup, he goes up against the toughest defense for tight ends, allowing just 5.8 fantasy points per contest. So, he looks to be more of a TE2 if he does, in fact, take the field.

Dalton Kincaid On Track To Return In Week 15

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was listed as a full participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Kincaid has been held out of each of the team's last three games due to a knee injury, but barring a setback in Friday's practice, the 25-year-old second-year player should be available for Sunday's big road contest against the Detroit Lions. In the last three games with Kincaid sidelined, Dawson Knox has seen an expanded role on offense, catching seven of his nine targets for 101 yards and no touchdowns. Kincaid returning would make him avoidable again in fantasy, though. Kincaid has had a disappointing sophomore season in 2024, though, so fantasy managers may want to keep him benched in the first week of the playoffs. He's averaging only 6.5 half-PPR points, which is tied with the Saints' Juwan Johnson for 23rd at the position.

Dalton Kincaid Practices On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) logged a full practice in Wednesday's walk-through. This is an encouraging sign for Kincaid, as he has missed the last three games due to a knee injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his practice participation throughout the rest of the week. In Week 15, the Buffalo Bills (10-3) take on the Detroit Lions (12-1) in a matchup between two of the best teams in the NFL. The over/under for Sunday's game is 54.5 points, and having all of Josh Allen's weapons available to him will go a long way in helping the Bills pull off the upset (2.5-point underdogs) on the road. On the season, Kincaid has disappointed many fantasy managers with 34 catches for 356 yards and two touchdowns over 10 games. Still, the 25-year-old has the skill set and the high-powered offense that could help him finish the fantasy season on a high note. Fantasy managers can start Kincaid as a low-end TE1 if he plays this week.

Dalton Kincaid Won't Suit Up Against Rams

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will officially miss his third consecutive game while he nurses a knee injury. Since Keon Coleman (wrist) will also miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, the main pass-catchers will be Dawson Knox, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, and Curtis Samuel. In the team's Week 13 win, Knox registered two receptions for 56 yards on two targets, and the Rams give up the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid Not Expected To Play

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), who is listed as questionable to play the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14, is not expected to suit up, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The second-year tight end has not played since Week 10, but the Bills are now up to seven consecutive wins. Wide receiver Khalil Shakir has drawn a team-best 28 combined targets in the three prior games Kincaid has missed, but tight end Dawson Knox has also seen increased receiving volume. Knox has 136 receiving yards in the past three weeks, making him the logical fantasy fill-in for Kincaid if he's still available.

Bills List Dalton Kincaid As Questionable For Week 14

The Buffalo Bills have listed tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) as questionable to suit up this Sunday on the road against the Rams in Los Angeles. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and hasn't played since. The 25-year-old second-year player hadn't practiced until this week, though, signaling that he has a much better shot to suit up this weekend. Kincaid was officially limited in all three practices this week. The Bills don't kick off against the Rams until the late-afternoon window on Sunday, making Kincaid a more difficult call for starting fantasy lineups in Week 14. Although he's been a disappointment in his sophomore season in 2024, Kincaid should at least be on the map as a low-end TE1 in fantasy if he's active against the Rams. If he misses a third straight game, Dawson Knox will once again have TE1 upside.

Dalton Kincaid Sheds Non-Contact Jersey

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was seen at Thursday's practice wearing a normal jersey. The Bills listed Kincaid as limited for the first practice of the week on Wednesday, but it appears he's upgraded to full on Thursday, which would give him a great shot at returning in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams after missing the last two games. The 25-year-old has been a disappointment as the TE1 in Buffalo in his second year in the NFL, but when healthy, he's still ahead of Dawson Knox in the TE pecking order for the Bills. If Kincaid returns this Sunday, he should at least be considered a low-end TE1 option for fantasy managers against a Rams defense that has been a top-10 matchup for opposing TEs in terms of half-PPR points per game. In his first 10 games this year, Kincaid caught 34 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns.

Dalton Kincaid To Be Limited On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will be limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, as will fellow TE Quintin Morris (undisclosed). Kincaid was held out for a second straight game in the Week 13 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, but the 25-year-old is improving and could make his return this Sunday on the road in Los Angeles against the Rams. We'll have a better idea of Kincaid's availability for this weekend after the Bills hold two more practices on Thursday and Friday. Dawson Knox has been stream-worthy the last two weeks in fantasy with Kincaid out, as he caught six of eight targets for 96 yards in wins over the 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. Kincaid hasn't had the second-year breakout that many were expecting in 2024, as he's averaged just 6.5 half-PPR points in 10 games, which is tied for 23rd among all tight ends.

Dalton Kincaid Won't Play Against 49ers

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Sean McDermott said. Kincaid is now slated to miss his second consecutive contest. In the last occurrence, Dawson Knox stepped up as the Bills' top tight end, catching four of six passes for 40 yards. While Knox doesn't nearly have the same skill set as Kincaid, he's still capable of carving out a role on offense. Fantasy managers should view Knox as a high-end fantasy TE2 this week against the Niners.

Dalton Kincaid Misses Another Practice Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old played in the Bills' first 10 games of the season before missing Week 11 due to his knee injury and spending Week 12 on a bye. There's still a chance Kincaid could play in Week 13, but he'd likely need to log a limited or full practice on Friday in order to enter the weekend with any injury designation other than "out." The second-year tight end faces an uphill battle to play, and if he does sit out Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, Dawson Knox would be in line for an expanded role on offense.

Nov 28, 2024 3:07 PM EST


Dalton Kincaid Won't Practice On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) won't practice on Wednesday. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and then didn't play in the Week 11 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Coming out of the Week 12 bye, it's not a good sign that Kincaid is still absent from practice, but the 25-year-old second-year TE still has two more days of practice this week. For now, though, he should be considered questionable to suit up in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. And if Kincaid is questionable on Friday's final injury report, it will mean fantasy managers might have to make a tough decision on him this week. If Kincaid misses a second straight game, Dawson Knox will have TE1 upside yet again. He caught four of a season-high six targets for 40 yards in Week 11 with Kincaid sidelined.

Dalton Kincaid Ruled Out For Week 11

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 11 game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and was unable to practice this week. The Bills have a bye next week, so hopefully the extra rest will allow Kincaid to return to face the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 1. With the 25-year-old second-year tight end out this weekend, it means that Dawson Knox will have TE1 upside for fantasy managers, especially if receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) misses a third straight game. Kincaid was expected to have a much bigger role in his sophomore season in Buffalo, but he's only caught 34 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns through 10 games in 2024. Those in need of a streamer at TE in Week 11 should look Knox's way.

Dalton Kincaid Not Present On Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was not present at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week after injuring his knee in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Kincaid is probably going to have to put in some work in Friday's practice to even have a shot at suiting up this Sunday when the Bills take on the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers should already be preparing a backup plan in case the 25-year-old is ruled out this weekend. In that scenario, Dawson Knox would be on the TE1 radar, especially if receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) misses his third straight game. Rookie wideout Keon Coleman (wrist) has already been ruled out. Fantasy managers were expecting more from Kincaid in his sophomore campaign, as he's currently averaging 6.5 half-PPR points per game, which ranks 22nd among all TEs.

No Practice For Dalton Kincaid On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Kincaid injured his knee in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and is now in danger of missing a huge Week 11 tilt against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. However, Kincaid still has two more days to return to the practice field to give him a shot at playing this weekend. The second-year tight end has been a bit of a disappointment for fantasy managers that invested in him in 2024, as he currently ranks as the TE22 in half-PPR points per game (6.5). Before getting hurt last Sunday against Indy, he had two catches on five targets for 24 yards. If Kincaid cannot get cleared to face the Chiefs, Dawson Knox would immediately become an intriguing TE2 streamer, especially if receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) misses a third straight game.
