Dalton Kincaid Faces Tough Matchup

Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid enjoyed a solid performance against the Baltimore Ravens last week, but faces a tougher task in the Minnesota Vikings' pass defense this week. Minnesota limited talented Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta to just three receptions for 33 yards a week ago and will look to hold Kincaid to a similar total in Week 9. Kincaid recorded a team-high 86 yards receiving and a touchdown on four receptions during a win over the Ravens. He is RotoBaller's 13th-ranked tight end and is projected to score nine fantasy points against the Vikings, who have allowed a league-low four touchdowns through the air this season. Kincaid (chest) was questionable entering last week's game against the Ravens, but he is good to go after practicing in full the last two days of the week leading into the Vikings game.

Dalton Kincaid Practices in Full on Friday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. This is good news after Kincaid was limited during Thursday's practice while nursing a chest injury. He was able to shed his red non-contact jersey on Friday, Sal Capaccio reports. It seems like Kincaid is trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Kincaid has been playing some good ball over the last two games, so hopefully he'll be able to keep up that pace. If he does get downgraded, Dawson Knox would likely step into the starting tight end role on Monday.

Dalton Kincaid Limited With Chest Injury on Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest) opened up the week with a limited practice session on Thursday. Kincaid was also nursing a chest injury last week before suiting up and catching four of his six targets for 86 yards and his second touchdown of the season in the 36-10 rout of the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Week 8. The 27-year-old should be fine to play again this weekend on the road against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night as long as he does not have a setback with his chest. The upcoming matchup is not great against one of the best defenses in the league, so fantasy managers should have Kincaid on the TE1/2 borderline as he comes off one of his best games of the season. In seven games played in 2026, Kincaid is the TE11 in half-PPR scoring with 27 receptions on 35 targets for 401 yards and two touchdowns. If Kincaid carries a questionable tag into the Monday night contest in Minnesota, fantasy managers may want to look for other streaming options that aren't as volatile this week.

Dalton Kincaid Playing in Week 8

As expected, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest) is active on Sunday in the Week 8 tilt against the visiting Baltimore Ravens, per the NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. In addition to Kincaid playing through a minor chest injury, quarterback Josh Allen will get top receiver DJ Moore back from a shoulder injury that he originally suffered in the Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. Now that the 27-year-old Kincaid is officially active this weekend, fantasy managers should consider him at least a low-end TE1 option against Baltimore. Kincaid suffered his chest injury in the Week 6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he is ready to go after having extra time to recover thanks to Buffalo's bye in Week 7. The former first-rounder will look to get back on track against a vulnerable Baltimore defense after catching just nine passes on 12 targets for 52 yards and no touchdowns in his last three games. In the first two games of the 2026 campaign, Dalton was looking like a true TE breakout with 12 catches for 225 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets.

Dalton Kincaid Optimistic About Playing in Week 8

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest) is "optimistic" that he will be able to play in Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Kincaid is officially listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. While the decision whether to make the tight end active rests with the Bills, it certainly sounds like Kincaid feels as though he can play. If so, he'd be looking to build on a seven-catch, 38-yard performance from prior to Buffalo's bye week. The 27-year-old has been very inconsistent in fantasy football this year, but based on pure talent alone, he has TE1 upside against a Ravens defense allowing the fifth-most touchdowns to tight ends in 2026. If Kincaid can't suit up, Dawson Knox would operate as the Bills' primary tight ends with some streaming appeal in fantasy football.

Banged-Up Dalton Kincaid Hoping to Break Out

It was a solid start to the season for Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest), who finished his first two games of the season with 225 yards receiving and a touchdown on 12 receptions. But over the past four games, he has racked up just 90 yards receiving and failed to find the end zone. Entering Week 8, he has a bit of an uphill climb, as he has been marked questionable due to a chest injury that left him in a red non-contact jersey throughout this week of practice. If Kincaid is able to suit up against the Ravens, he will go up against a defense that has allowed 220.9 yards passing per game this season. Kincaid is RotoBaller's seventh-ranked tight end and is projected to score nine fantasy points against Baltimore.

Dalton Kincaid Draws Questionable Tag for Week 8

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8, head coach Joe Brady told Jonathan Acosta of WGRZ. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Kincaid's status on Sunday morning, but he should be on the right side of questionable after he returned to the Week 6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders due to a chest injury. The Bills had their bye in Week 7, giving the 27-year-old extra time to recover, so it would be a surprise if he was not cleared to play this weekend in Buffalo. In his first six games in 2026, Kincaid has caught 23 passes for 315 yards and one touchdown, with most of his production coming in the first two weeks, when he caught 12 of his 14 targets for 225 yards and one touchdown. He should be considered at least a low-end TE1 against Baltimore if he is active, as expected, but the potential return of receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) could take valuable targets away against a tough defense.

Dalton Kincaid Still Limited With Chest Injury

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest) was limited for the second straight day in Thursday's practice with a chest injury. There have been no indications that Kincaid's chest injury is serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, but unless he upgrades to a full practice on Friday, he could take a questionable tag into the weekend. We think that Kincaid is on the right side of questionable and will be active against the Ravens. If top receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) returns from a two-game absence, it will mean more competition for targets for Kincaid, who really has not done much for his fantasy managers since the first two weeks of the season. The 27-year-old former 25th overall pick from Utah in 2023 caught 12 of his 14 targets for 225 yards and a touchdown in the first two weeks but has just 11 catches on 15 targets for 90 yards and no touchdowns in the last four games. But with bye weeks in full swing in Week 8, Kincaid should remain on the low-end TE1 radar, at the very least, if he is active on Sunday in Buffalo.

Dalton Kincaid's TE1 Case Strengthens

Dalton Kincaid has a stronger TE1 case for Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, though DJ Moore's potential return and a chest injury cloud it. The Buffalo Bills tight end drew eight targets against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, matching his season high after seeing seven combined over the previous three games. He caught seven passes for 38 yards, a sharp opportunity improvement despite modest production, and opened the season with 12 catches for 225 yards and a touchdown across his first two games. Moore was inactive for the Raiders outing and returned to limited practice Wednesday following Buffalo's bye, which could affect Kincaid's target share. Kincaid was limited Wednesday with the chest injury after briefly leaving the Raiders game with a rib issue before returning.

Dalton Kincaid Limited with a Chest Injury on Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's official injury report. The 27-year-old is coming off a bye week, but he did play through a rib injury in Week 6. With that being said, it's unclear if that injury has any connection to his latest ailment. Kincaid has been the epitome of a boom-or-bust player this year, scoring higher than 10.5 PPR points or lower than 4.0 PPR points in each of his six games so far. He's a talented player in a high-powered offense, but the Bills' passing game does a good job spreading the ball around. As a result, Kincaid's volume has been somewhat inconsistent. We do expect him to play without any significant limitations in Week 8, and he'll rank as a low-end TE1 with additional upside.

Dalton Kincaid Returns After Week 6 Game Versus Raiders with Ribs Injury

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid returned to Week 6 Game versus the Las Vegas Raiders after previously exiting with an injury to his ribs. Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reported that Kincaid returned to Buffalo's sideline and was able to reenter the game. Kincaid was originally designated as questionable to return by the Buffalo Bills' public relations department, but he was ultimately able to play through the issue with his ribs. Kincaid has recorded seven receptions for 38 yards as of press time. He also had a touchdown called back due to a holding penalty in the third quarter. The Bills also have Dawson Knox available at tight end, among others.

Dalton Kincaid is Questionable to Return with Ribs Issue

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (ribs) is listed as questionable to return for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kincaid was forced to exit with a ribs issue during the second half of this game. It's unclear at the moment if the 27-year-old will be able to return for the final quarter of this game. Before exiting, Kincaid recorded six of his seven targets for 24 yards. Dawson Knox will operate as the top tight end until Kincaid returns. Fantasy managers should check back for updates throughout the rest of the game.

Dalton Kincaid Looking to Rediscover Early-Season Production

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has been remarkably quiet since opening the season with 12 catches for 225 yards and a touchdown across his first two games. Over the following three contests, he has managed just four receptions for 52 yards on seven targets. His latest outing was particularly disappointing, with one catch for seven yards against the Rams despite Buffalo playing without several receiving options. The production has been frustrating, although Kincaid's ability to stretch the field was evident during those opening performances. His 277 receiving yards still lead the Bills through five games, even with the recent downturn. Sunday's matchup against the Raiders provides another opportunity to get him involved, but the lack of dependable targets is difficult to overlook. Kincaid remains a TE1 option, supported by his talent and RotoBaller's TE5 ranking for Week 6, though his recent usage introduces considerable risk.

Joe Brady Takes Responsibility for Dalton Kincaid's Limited Usage

Buffalo Bills head coach and play caller Joe Brady said, "I have not done a good enough job of getting him the ball," when asked about tight end Dalton Kincaid's limited usage on Tuesday. Kincaid got off to a red-hot start in 2026, recording 12 catches for 225 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets across his first two games. However, the 26-year-old's production has come crashing back down to earth lately, as he's logged just four catches for 52 yards on seven targets across the last three weeks. Kincaid has been a very efficient receiver on a per-target basis for most of his NFL career, but he's also had long stretches of minimal usage during his time with the Bills. Still, it appears as though Brady and the Bills' decision-makers are going to make an intentional effort to get Kincaid more involved. Despite his disappointing production in recent weeks, Kincaid remains a high-upside tight end option for fantasy managers heading into Week 6.

Dalton Kincaid Looking for More Targets After Quiet Stretch

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has seen his production drop considerably after a terrific start to the season. Kincaid caught 12 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown in the first two games, but he's managed only three receptions for 45 yards over the last two weeks. The bigger concern is his involvement, with just two targets against both the Chargers and Patriots. Buffalo's receiving situation could create more opportunities Monday, with Joshua Palmer ruled out and DJ Moore questionable because of a shoulder injury. That doesn't guarantee Kincaid will suddenly return to his early-season workload, particularly against a Rams defense that has allowed only 582 passing yards through four games. Still, RotoBaller has him at TE5 in its updated Week 5 rankings. Kincaid remains a strong fantasy starter, but his recent usage is worth watching closely.

Dalton Kincaid is Seeing Reduced Role

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is hopeful to bounce back against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. Over the last two games, Kincaid has finished with three receptions for 45 yards and zero touchdowns. This is odd given the fact that Kincaid was such a huge part of the offense during the first two weeks of the season. Now, the 26-year-old has only seen five targets over the last two games, but he saw eight in Week 2 alone. It's unlikely going to get better for him against a tough Rams defense on Monday Night. Despite some lackluster performances, Kincaid remains a high-end TE2 for this weekend.

Dalton Kincaid Remains a High-End TE1

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid came back to earth against the Chargers with two catches for 38 yards, but one quiet afternoon shouldn't erase the first two weeks. Kincaid had 225 receiving yards and a touchdown before Week 3 and has caught 14 of 17 targets overall. Buffalo continues to spread the ball around at wide receiver, which has helped Kincaid maintain a meaningful place in the passing game. New England has defended well early, so expecting another huge yardage day would be aggressive. Fantasy managers don't need that from him to justify a start. Kincaid remains TE3 in RotoBaller's weekend rankings and should stay in lineups as one of the stronger tight end options on the slate.

Dalton Kincaid Remains a Potential Breakout Tight End Despite Quiet Week 3

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had an underwhelming game in his team's Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, recording two catches for 38 yards on three targets. However, the 26-year-old is still off to an excellent start to the 2026 season, as he's hauled in 14 receptions for 263 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets across three games. With an average of 18.8 yards per reception, Kincaid is as explosive as any tight end in the NFL. He's also seen a notable spike in usage so far this year, playing at least 66% of the snaps in all three of Buffalo's games after failing to reach that mark even once in 2025. If Kincaid can maintain his current usage while coming even close to his current per-target efficiency, he could be poised for a monster year. Even coming off a down game, Kincaid profiles as a high-end TE1 option for fantasy managers in Week 4 against the New England Patriots.

Dalton Kincaid Has Emerged as a Weekly TE1

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid followed his 130-yard opener with seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown against Detroit. He now has 12 receptions for 225 yards through two games and has led Buffalo in receiving yardage both weeks. The Week 2 touchdown came from 16 yards out, and Kincaid has already produced gains of 38, 40 and 35 yards this season. This has been much more than a collection of short tight-end catches. The Chargers allowed 305 total yards to Las Vegas last week and have been beaten for explosive plays through their first two games. RotoBaller ranks Kincaid as the TE2 for Week 3, behind only Trey McBride. That is lofty territory, but his first two games have earned it. Kincaid should remain locked into fantasy lineups against Los Angeles.

Dalton Kincaid Could Be on the Verge of a Superstar Breakout

Through two weeks, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid looks like he could be on his way to a long-awaited breakout season. Across his team's first two games, the 26-year-old has recorded 12 catches for 225 yards and one touchdown on 14 targets. Kincaid was uber-efficient as a receiver in 2025, averaging 14.6 yards per reception and scoring five touchdowns on just 49 targets across 12 games. However, he missed time due to several injury issues, and Buffalo limited Kincaid's snaps even in games where he was active. So far in 2026, Kincaid appears to be fully healthy and has played at least 66% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in both games. Bills WR1 DJ Moore (shoulder) is also battling an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, which could only further increase Kincaid's role in his team's passing game. Kincaid still carries some injury risk for fantasy managers, but he carries high-end TE1 upside if he can sustain his current performance.
