Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday that tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique), who did not play in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6, is "day-to-day," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Additionally, veteran wide receiver Curtis Samuel (neck, ribs) is also considered day-to-day. Kincaid's injury isn't very serious, which is great news, especially with the Bills on their bye in Week 7. It means that both Kincaid and Samuel should be ready to go when the team returns to action in Week 8 to face the Carolina Panthers on the road on Oct. 26. Buffalo's offense struggled on Monday night against an improved Atlanta defense without Kincaid in the mix. Backup Dawson Knox found the end zone for the first time this year on Monday with Kincaid out, but it was his only catch of the game on just two targets. Fantasy managers looking for TE reinforcements going forward should probably avoid Knox.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons, is out for Monday night's contest, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. In addition to Kincaid, the Bills' offense will be without veteran wide receiver Curtis Samuel (neck, ribs). Kincaid probably could have played in Monday's game, but the Bills are electing to sit him out with their bye coming in Week 7. After two full weeks of rest, we'd expect Kincaid to be ready to roll in Week 8 on Oct. 26 against the Carolina Panthers. With Kincaid out against Atlanta, backup Dawson Knox will have streaming value in DFS and for anyone who was planning to start Kincaid. Knox only has six catches on 10 targets this year for 54 scoreless yards, but he should be in line for his most production in 2025 on Monday night with Kincaid sidelined.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) remains questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the league's stingiest pass defense. Kincaid has emerged as the Bills' leading receiver this season and would leave a major void in the passing game if ruled out. In his absence, veteran Dawson Knox would likely see an expanded role, while wideouts Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman could both see increased target shares. The Bills will look to rebound from their first loss of the season against a Falcons defense that has severely limited opposing passing attacks. If active, Kincaid remains a must-start TE1 and a focal point of Buffalo's offense during what's shaping up to be a breakout campaign.
Oct 11, 2025 2:35 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is dealing with an oblique injury and was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Friday. Kincaid was seen wearing a no-contact jersey in practice on Thursday and again had his reps limited in practice on Friday, putting his status up in the air for Monday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons. If the 25-year-old doesn't go full in practice on Saturday, he could draw a questionable tag going into Monday's contest. Kincaid has already scored a career-high three times in his first five games in 2025 and is coming off his first 100-yard game in the Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots. As long as he's active, Kincaid should be considered a top-10 fantasy tight end, but a questionable tag this week could make for a difficult decision for fantasy managers in Week 6. Dawson Knox would be in play as a TE2 streamer if Kincaid is unable to play this week.
Oct 10, 2025 7:25 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) was officially listed as limited on the team's Thursday injury report due to an oblique injury. The Bills will play the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6 on Monday night, so Kincaid has an extra day to recover this week. The 25-year-old has recorded 20 catches for 287 yards and three touchdowns on 24 targets through five games this season. If he were to miss time, Bills tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes would both likely see an uptick in snaps. Assuming Kincaid can play on Monday, he profiles as a solid fantasy TE1 in Week 6 against Atlanta.
Oct 9, 2025 4:26 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (undisclosed) was spotted wearing a non-contact jersey during Thursday's practice after a strong Week 5 performance against the New England Patriots. Kincaid hauled in six passes for 108 yards in the loss and has quietly developed into the team's top receiving option through five games, posting 287 yards and three touchdowns. The decision to limit contact could be precautionary as the Bills look to keep their breakout tight end healthy for the long haul. Fantasy managers should monitor Friday's practice report for more clarity on Kincaid's availability heading into Week 6. If he's unable to suit up, Dawson Knox would likely see increased involvement in the passing game, with Josh Palmer also in line for a potential uptick in targets.
Oct 9, 2025 2:38 PM EST
Through just five games in 2025, Dalton Kincaid has recorded 20 catches for 287 yards and a single-season career-high three touchdowns on 24 targets. While this could be the start of a long-awaited breakout season for the third-year tight end, there are a couple of worrying signs for fantasy managers to be aware of. For one, Kincaid has yet to play more than 55% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in any game this year as he splits playing time with Bills tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes. Secondly, Kincaid is still averaging less than five targets per game, making him quite reliant on touchdowns for fantasy production. The 25-year-old has proven to have enough of a role in an excellent Bills offense that he profiles as a mid-to-low-end fantasy starter at the tight end position. Still, this may be a decent time to sell high on Kincaid.
Oct 7, 2025 9:49 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid continues to separate himself as the primary pass-catching option at the position, despite splitting snaps evenly in the offense. After seeing just two targets against the Saints in Week 4, Kincaid is a strong candidate to bounce back to his usual workload of around six targets per game. The third-year tight end has been a consistent playmaker, finding the end zone in three of four contests and ranking third on the team with 179 receiving yards on 14 catches. Most importantly, Kincaid leads Buffalo in touchdown receptions, solidifying his chemistry with Josh Allen in scoring situations. Fantasy managers should continue to view Kincaid as a dependable mid-tier TE1 who offers weekly touchdown upside, especially in a Bills offense that thrives on utilizing him in the red zone.
Oct 4, 2025 7:05 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is the overall TE7 in PPR leagues this season, but he could be quite touchdown-dependent heading into Week 5 against the New England Patriots. For starters, Kincaid's snap share has been underwhelming, as he has played fewer than 50 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps this season. He has just 14 catches for 179 yards through four games, but he has salvaged his fantasy value by scoring three touchdowns. In fact, he has already set his single-season personal-best touchdown total despite the season being less than 25 percent complete. So while Kincaid's snap and target shares have been quite underwhelming, the rate at which he has scored touchdowns could be enough to get him in lineups as a low-end TE1. It also helps that he's taking on the Patriots, who have allowed the seventh-most receiving yards and 10th-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025.
Oct 4, 2025 9:09 AM EST
With 13 catches, 151 yards, and two touchdowns, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has gotten off to a fast start three weeks into the 2025 season. Not only has the third-year man already matched his TD total from each of his first two seasons, but he has led the Bills in targets (12) over the past two weeks. He'll attempt to continue his success in Week 4 against the winless New Orleans Saints. They rank a slightly below-average 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing TEs this season, though they haven't faced a high-end starter since taking on the Arizona Cardinals' Trey McBride in Week 1. McBride recorded six catches for 61 yards on nine targets in a a season-opening victory. Kincaid probably won't have nine passes thrown his way this week, but thanks to his growing rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, he looks like a top 10 TE heading into Sunday.
Sep 26, 2025 4:02 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had five catches (six targets) for 66 yards, all team-highs, in the Thursday night win over the Miami Dolphins. He also found the end zone, courtesy of a 20-yard toss from Josh Allen in the second quarter. Kincaid had only two touchdowns in each of his first two seasons leading up to the 2025 campaign. However, after Thursday's performance, he's already hit that mark, and it only took him three games to do it. After a disappointing 2024 season, the 25-year-old appears on track to remain one of Allen's go-to options on the receiving end, a role many thought he'd have last year. All things considered, Kincaid is currently one of the league's most productive tight ends through the first three weeks. While there are some who are still skeptical, fantasy managers in all formats should keep him starting in Week 4 versus the New Orleans Saints, a team that has struggled on the defensive side of the ball.
Sep 22, 2025 9:11 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid was productive on Thursday against the Miami Dolphins. He saw a team leading six targets, and caught five of them for 66 yards and a touchdown. His only target that he didn't haul in was also a near touchdown, which could have made his night much better. Regardless, this is the Kincaid that fantasy managers have been hoping for over the past few seasons, and so far in the 2025 season, he has not disappointed; he has totaled two touchdowns and 151 yards on 13 receptions. To put that into perspective, Kincaid has already matched his season high in touchdowns with two, as he's hauled in exactly two in each of his first two seasons (2023 and 2024). Next up for the Bills and Kincaid is a home matchup against the New Orleans Saints, where fantasy managers can continue to start Kincaid as a low-end TE1.
Sep 19, 2025 9:59 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has gotten off to a respectable start through the first two games of the 2025 season. The former first-round pick has hauled in eight of 10 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown heading into a meeting with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. For their part, the Dolphins have given up 12 catches, 146 yards, and the 10th-most fantasy points to tight ends in the early going. That sets up for Kincaid to have a fairly productive night, though a lack of scoring prowess may continue to limit his ceiling. Kincaid has totaled just five touchdowns 31 games into his career, while the Dolphins have not allowed a tight end to find the end zone this year.
Sep 17, 2025 1:35 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid took advantage of his opportunities in last week's season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens. Kincaid hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown - just the fifth score of the third-year man's career. In Week 2, he'll go up against a New York Jets defense that surrendered the league's fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends in a 34-32 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. That seems auspicious for Kincaid, though it's worth noting that he continues to lag behind Dawson Knox in usage among Bills tight ends. Knox isn't much of a pass-catching threat, but he garnered more snaps than Kincaid last year, and that remained the case on Sunday. It's also a bit of a concern that Kincaid only totaled four targets during a game in which the Bills, who staged a furious comeback, attempted 46 passes. So, while Kincaid did produce like a fantasy TE1 last week, it would be risky to count on that happening again this week if he doesn't start drawing more attention from quarterback Josh Allen.
Sep 12, 2025 11:37 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid got the scoring kicked off on Sunday Night Football in a wild 41-40 come-from-behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Kincaid found the end zone for the first time in 2025, giving hope to his fantasy managers that this could be a true breakout campaign after he found paydirt a combined four times in his first two seasons. The 25-year-old caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and the touchdown on the night, averaging 12 yards per reception. Meanwhile, fellow TE Dawson Knox caught both of his targets for only 20 yards in a game where both offenses marched up and down the field at will. Kincaid's 15-yard touchdown grab came on the opening drive, but he didn't do much else the rest of the night. It was a good first game for Kincaid, but Knox's presence will continue to limit his overall fantasy upside.
Sep 8, 2025 12:12 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid endured a sophomore slump last season. After amassing 73 catches for 673 yards and two touchdowns over 16 games as a rookie, the former first-rounder posted 44-448-two in 13 contests in 2024. A knee injury hampered Kincaid, who is healthy heading into the new season and will face off against a talent-rich Baltimore Ravens defense in the opener this Sunday. Kincaid took on the Ravens twice a year ago and produced mixed results. He caught five of seven targets for 47 yards in a Week 4 loss and secured one of two targets for 11 yards in a divisional-round victory. While Kincaid is a risky choice for Sunday, the 25-year-old has more upside than he offered last season. There is potential for Kincaid to become a reliable TE1 for fantasy managers in 2025.
Sep 5, 2025 1:35 PM EST
According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is not expected to see his role grow during the 2025 season. Buscaglia noted that, given Dawson Knox's presence on the team, Kincaid will likely not take a large share of opportunities. Last season, Kincaid logged around 66% of the team snaps, and Buscaglia believes that is what the expectation should be for the upcoming season as well. In his sophomore season, the 25-year-old took a bit of a step back as he tallied just 448 yards on 44 receptions. He scored just two touchdowns. As a rookie, Kincaid brought in 73 receptions for 673 yards. Given his limited ceiling, fantasy managers should continue to view Kincaid as a low-end fringe TE1 in all formats. However, if Knox were to miss time, Kincaid could enter must-start conversations.
Sep 2, 2025 2:19 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has "been a steady target of Josh Allen's throughout training camp," according to Alex Brasky of SI.com. That carried over into Friday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears. Brasky writes that he "would take the over on all of Kincaid's futures this season" and believes it will be a "big rebound year for him." Kincaid caught his only target for 10 yards in last Saturday's preseason opener against the New York Giants. Big things were expected of the 25-year-old after he was taken in the first round in 2023, and he had a nice 73-673-2 line in 16 games as a rookie. However, he regressed with a 44-448-2 line in 13 games in 2024. The Bills offense likes to spread the ball around, and Dawson Knox is still in the picture, but Kincaid is still too young to completely write off. He's a great high-end TE2 target with upside this year.
Aug 15, 2025 2:08 PM EST
Trainers were seen checking on Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's (ankle) lower left ankle during training camp practice on Thursday, according to Nick Sabato of the Niagara Gazette. Kincaid was getting his ankle taped up to test it out. It sounds like Kincaid stayed in at practice, but it's notable since it's on the same side as his knee injury that he dealt with earlier in camp. It's unclear if the Bills will have the 25-year-old play in the preseason opener on Saturday against the New York Giants. If healthy, Kincaid will be looking to bounce back in 2025 after a disappointing 44-448-2 line in 13 regular-season games (nine starts) in 2024. The former first-rounder had 73 catches, 673 yards and two scores as a rookie. The Bills offense spreading things around hasn't helped Kincaid's cause, and Dawson Knox is also still around. Consider him a TE2 with upside in upcoming fantasy drafts.
Aug 7, 2025 1:52 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had his "best practice" of training camp on Friday night and was "especially impressive against one-on-one coverage," according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. It's a good sign for the third-year tight end, who missed practice earlier this week due to soreness in his left knee. Kincaid tore the PCL in that same knee during the 2024 season. It was a frustrating 2024 overall for Kincaid, who recorded 44 catches for 448 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games played. He hasn't quite developed into the star the Bills were hoping for when they drafted him in the first round in 2023, but Buscaglia writes that there's still an opportunity for Kincaid to become a "standout piece of the passing offense." Kincaid will be competing with fellow tight end Dawson Knox for playing time, although the Bills like to deploy both players in two tight end sets. Kincaid profiles as a fringe TE1 for fantasy, but one with a higher upside than some of the other tight ends drafted in his range.
