Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited again in practice on Thursday. Kincaid should be ready to go for the Wild-Card playoff tilt on Sunday against the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old missed some time due to injury in 2025, but he was still the team's second-leading receiver with 571 yards in 12 games, and he led the Bills with five touchdown grabs. Kincaid is coming off a three-catch, 48-yard game in the regular-season finale against the New York Jets in a game in which quarterback Josh Allen didn't play behind the first snap. He should be considered firmly in the TE1 mix for fantasy managers competing in playoff leagues while going up against a Jaguars defense that allowed the 10th-most half-PPR points per game to opposing TEs. Kincaid was tied for 11th at the position this year with 8.9 half-PPR fantasy points per game.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will be limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Maddy Glab of BuffaloBills.com. Kincaid played through a questionable tag in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the New York Jets, but he ended up playing only 10 snaps and catching three passes for 48 yards with the Bills resting most of their regulars. The 26-year-old missed some time with a hamstring injury late in the year, too, but he's trending towards being a full-go for Wild-Card weekend against the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Kincaid is one of quarterback Josh Allen's most trusted weapons. He finished second on the team with 571 receiving yards while reaching the end zone a team-high five times in 12 games. Kincaid will be a solid midrange TE1 for those competing in fantasy playoff leagues.

After missing Week 17 due to a knee injury, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid returned in Week 18 and recorded three catches for 48 yards on three targets in his team's blowout win over the New York Jets. Multiple injuries limited the 26-year-old to just 12 games played in 2025, and he finished the season with 39 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets. On a per-play basis, Kincaid is a highly efficient and productive tight end. However, playing time and target volume are issues for Kincaid's fantasy outlook. He has not played more than 38% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in any game since Week 5 and has not earned more than five targets in a game since Week 9. Heading into his Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kincaid profiles as a high-ceiling, low-floor tight end option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New York Jets. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Kincaid is returning from a one-game absence, and he hasn't played more than half of the snaps in a single contest since Week 5. The 26-year-old will likely continue to handle fewer snaps than Dawson Knox, but Kincaid should remain a top target for Josh Allen in the passing game, especially near the goal line. He ranks as a mid-range TE2 for Week 18 fantasy football.
Jan 4, 2026 3:40 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will take a questionable designation into Week 18 after a week of limited practices, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kincaid missed the team's Week 17 loss to the Eagles after taking only 19 offensive snaps in Week 16. With the Bills locked in to play a road game during Wildcard Weekend, only seeding and potential opponent are at stake when they host the Jets on Sunday. It remains unclear how much run Buffalo will give their starters in a game in which they are favored by more than a touchdown, and given Kincaid's recent struggles, he is best left on the bench by any fantasy managers still competing for a Week 18 championship.
Jan 2, 2026 2:17 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Kincaid's status for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival New York Jets is still up in the air after he was inactive for last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee) has been limited so far this week as well. Although Buffalo can still technically move up to the No. 5 seed for the playoffs with a win this Sunday, the coaching staff is debating whether they will rest some of their starters against the Jets. Kincaid is typically a pretty safe bet as a TE1 in fantasy football, but with his status up in the air going into Week 18, he's shaping up as a risky fantasy play. Quarterback Josh Allen's (foot) status is also worth watching going into the weekend.
Jan 1, 2026 3:24 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to his knee injury. Kincaid was unable to play in Sunday's one-point loss to the visiting Philadelphia Eagles due to his knee injury, but it's a good sign that he's limited in the first practice of Week 18. However, the Bills may decide to rest key starters this weekend against the division-rival New York Jets, including quarterback Josh Allen (foot), so Kincaid might not be all that attractive for fantasy managers if he's healthy enough to return to action this weekend. Fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee) is also managing a knee injury and was limited in Wednesday's practice. Despite missing several games this year with knee and hamstring injuries, Kincaid is Buffalo's second leading receiver with 36 catches for 523 yards and a team-high five touchdowns.
Dec 31, 2025 3:06 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. The 26-year-old has operated in a reduced role this season, playing just 40.1% of the offensive snaps in games where he's active. With that said, he has still scored five touchdowns, breaking his previous career-high of two. His absence will create more opportunities for Dawson Knox, who is expected to start at tight end against the Eagles. He ranks as a solid fantasy TE2 in the Bills' strong offense.
Dec 28, 2025 3:29 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kincaid missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but returned on a limited basis on Friday. Injuries have limited the third-year tight end, who suffered a PCL sprain in 2024 and already missed three games this season with a hamstring injury. If he's active, he faces a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. With Dawson Knox (knee) also questionable for Week 17, Kincaid could see more snaps, but given the tough matchup and his injury status, he's a risky option at tight end this week.
Dec 27, 2025 10:47 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The team's top tight end opened the week as a non-participant on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to limited participation on Friday afternoon. Managers should continue to monitor his progress during the weekend. Kincaid is coming off a disappointing showing in Week 16, where he was unable to bring in his lone target and finish his day with 0.0 PPR points. However, in Weeks 14 and 15, Kincaid averaged a solid 10.3 PPR points per game and saw 4.5 targets per game. With No. 2 tight end Dawson Knox (knee )also carrying a questionable tag, managers could see wideouts Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and Tyrell Shavers take on an increased role on Sunday.
Dec 26, 2025 4:08 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice on Wednesday after seeing the field on only 38% of his team's offensive snaps in a Week 16 win over the Browns. He was listed as a non-participant in the first two practices of Week 16 before logging a full participation on Friday and heading into Sunday with no injury designation. Assuming a similar approach this week, Kincaid will face an Eagles defense that has ranked as the second most difficult matchup for opposing tight ends. With Kincaid battling injuries and finishing as a top 20 tight end only once in the last seven weeks, he is not a recommended start for fantasy championship weekend and can be viewed as droppable in redraft leagues.
Dec 24, 2025 2:27 PM EST
Despite missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is off the injury report and slated to play against the Cleveland Browns. Despite fighting through hamstring injuries throughout the season, Kincaid has had a breakout year, hauling in 36 of 45 targets for 523 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games. He has averaged 11.8 PPR fantasy points per game, ranking 10th among tight ends this season. He faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, who have ranked in the middle of the pack against tight ends this season. Despite his breakout season in Buffalo, Kincaid is a risky TE1 this week against the Browns.
Dec 20, 2025 10:55 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will return to practice on Friday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Head coach Sean McDermott said the Bills are "just trying to manage the knee injury with reps." The team doesn't think it's something that will keep Kincaid from playing on Sunday against the hosting Cleveland Browns, but they didn't want to commit to it. It sounds like Kincaid will be questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he should be active on Sunday after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a knee injury. The 26-year-old has not had a setback with his knee injury and should be treated as a low-end TE1 in fantasy football unless something changes between now and Sunday. Kincaid's presence this weekend in Cleveland will make Dawson Knox hard to trust as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer despite his two-touchdown performance in last week's big win over the Patriots.
Dec 19, 2025 12:17 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was not seen on the practice field in the portion open to the media on Thursday, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR 550. Two straight days of missed practice are a bad omen for Kincaid's chances of playing this Sunday in Cleveland against the Browns, although he still has one more day to return to practice. The 26-year-old missed Weeks 11-13 with a hamstring injury as well. In two games since his return, Kincaid has seven receptions on nine targets for 75 yards and a touchdown. If Kincaid returns to practice on Friday and plays on Sunday, he'll be a low-end TE1 for fantasy managers still playing for a trophy this year. If Kincaid isn't cleared to play, Dawson Knox would bump up to a low-end TE1 option after scoring two touchdowns in last week's comeback victory over the Patriots.
Dec 18, 2025 1:28 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice session, according to the team. Kincaid played in each of the past two games after dealing with knee and hamstring injuries in prior weeks, but he will begin this week with a DNP. The Bills could be managing his workload during the practice week to ensure he is ready to go on gameday. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status in practice on Thursday and Friday in case he suffered a setback that would cause him to miss some time. Injuries seem to be a lingering issue for the 26-year-old tight end, as he played only 36% of the snaps in the Week 15 win against the New England Patriots, catching three of four targets for 34 yards. If Kincaid is unable to play on Sunday versus the Cleveland Browns, Dawson Knox would be in line for an expanded receiving role and could continue his recent stretch of production.
Dec 17, 2025 5:20 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has topped a 50% snap share only three times this season, and only once since Week 4, and yet he continues to be one of this season's most reliable tight end options. Even while missing four games over the course of the year, his five touchdown catches tie him for 6th at the position, as he has clearly become one of Josh Allen's most trusted redzone targets. In Week 15, the Bills face a Patriots defense that has allowed almost a full point above expectation to the tight end position and saw Kincaid gather all six of his targets for 108 yards when these teams last met in Week 5. Kincaid is RotoBaller's TE6 for the first round of the fantasy playoffs, and should be the Bills' most valuable pass catcher even if his snap count leaves something to be desired.
Dec 13, 2025 4:01 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots. Kincaid returned in Week 14 after missing three straight games due to a hamstring injury, and he hauled in four of his five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old tight end has been Buffalo's best weapon in the passing game this season, averaging a career-best 54.3 receiving yards per game, and he has already more than doubled his previous career high of two touchdowns in a season. Kincaid will look to stay hot on Sunday in a big game versus the Patriots, who rank 20th in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends.
Dec 13, 2025 9:26 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Kincaid returns from a three-game absence and will reclaim his role atop the depth chart. He has a fantastic opportunity to produce this week against a Bengals team that has been historically poor when defending opposing tight ends. In fact, the Bengals have allowed the most catches, receiving yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Assuming Kincaid is healthy enough to handle a full or near-full workload, he'll be a mid-range TE1 with high-end upside. He's not a lock to play a full dose of snaps, but even if he's limited, this matchup is too favorable not to take advantage of. Kincaid should be started in all fantasy leagues.
Dec 7, 2025 11:29 AM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is projected to make his return from a three-game absence for this weekend's home tilt with the Cincinnati Bengals. Kincaid has yet to practice in full since injuring his hamstring back in a loss against Miami, although he was able to log a week's worth of limited sessions despite also picking up a knee injury along the way. For now, it appears that he'll suit up, but it's possible he's not ready for a full complement of plays, considering his lack of a full practice. Fortunately, he's shown capable of producing on a limited snap share, so fantasy managers can start him as a strong TE1 if he's active. The third-year pro's status will be worth monitoring before the early window of Sunday's games.
Dec 7, 2025 12:31 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after being limited in practice this week. Kincaid has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 10 versus the Miami Dolphins. The 2023 first-round pick has been excellent in limited action this season, hauling in 29 of his 33 targets for 448 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. The 26-year-old tight end is set up with a dream matchup for his potential Week 14 return against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has been horrendous against opposing tight ends this season, allowing by far the most PPR points per game, in addition to 13 touchdowns -- five more than the next closest team. It seems like Kincaid will be a game-time decision on Sunday. He's been the Bills' most reliable pass-catcher when active and would profile as a strong TE1 if he can play on Sunday.
