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.

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.

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.
Nov 13, 2024 12:32 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is doubtful to return against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10. Kincaid exited in the third quarter. Assuming his day is done, Kincaid finishes Sunday's contest with five targets but just two catches and 24 receiving yards. The second-year tight end has been held to single-digit fantasy points in 70 percent of his games this season and will likely fall out of the TE1 tier going forward. Even if he's healthy enough to play next week against the Kansas City Chiefs, fantasy managers can justify benching him.
Nov 10, 2024 3:38 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) left Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first half due to a knee injury. At the time, he accounted for two receptions for 24 yards on four targets. The team has officially deemed him questionable to return to the game, so they'll likely perform some tests through halftime to see if he can take the field in the second half. Dawson Knox should see an uptick in snaps and targets while Kincaid is sidelined.
Nov 10, 2024 2:30 PM EST
Despite his appearance on the injury report, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is one of the team's healthy receiving options entering Week 10. He's practiced in full every day this week and has no injury designation this weekend. The same can't be said for Amari Cooper (wrist), Keon Coleman (wrist), and Curtis Samuel (pectoral). Coleman has been ruled out, while the other two are questionable. Kincaid saw a season-high in targets (10) with Cooper out of the lineup last week and could also see more usage against the Colts. Unfortunately, he's securing under 60% of targets thrown in his direction. With an easier matchup (Indianapolis allows the third-most fantasy points to tight ends), Kincaid may convert more opportunities. He's a low-end TE1 this week.
Nov 8, 2024 4:30 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four of 10 targets for 32 yards in the team's 30-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins. That was a season-high target mark for Kincaid but he could not reel in half of them. Kincaid has over 30 yards in every game except the opener this season but hasn't logged more than 52. It's a continuation of a disappointing 2024 campaign for the second-year tight end. He'll look to have his breakout game in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Nov 3, 2024 7:58 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone/knee) has endured a mostly disappointing 2024 campaign, although he scored a touchdown last week. The outlook for Week 9 isn't appealing either. The Dolphins allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends and are better against the pass than the run. Kincaid was already a letdown against the Dolphins in Week 2. He caught four passes for 33 yards and was barely utilized in the second half. Fantasy managers don't need to worry about Kincaid's appearance on the team's injury report. He's been listed with a collarbone issue for the last couple of weeks but has fully practiced through the problem. They do need to worry about the production. Kincaid is a low-end TE1 for Week 9.
Nov 1, 2024 3:30 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Kincaid finished tied for second on the team in targets (seven), trailing wide receiver Khalil Shakir. His touchdown came from 12 yards out just before halftime. The score saved what was otherwise a mediocre performance on National Tight Ends Day. Fellow tight end Dawson Knox tallied more yards (50) on two receptions. Kincaid will be a low-end TE1 when the Bills host the Miami Dolphins next week.
Oct 27, 2024 10:12 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) is off the injury report and ready to suit up against the Seattle Seahawks. He's been managing a collarbone issue that has limited him in practice for the last couple of weeks. Kincaid has been a fantasy football disappointment this season (TE12, season-high of 52 yards) but has an opportunity to right the ship against the Seahawks. Seattle allows the fifth-most yards and eighth-most fantasy points to the position. Fantasy managers hope Amari Cooper can draw defensive attention away from Kincaid and allow him to finish as a TE1.
Oct 25, 2024 5:16 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught three of his six targets for 52 yards in the team's 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The pedestrian total was actually Kincaid's season-high mark for receiving yards, which says a lot about his production so far this season. Kincaid was about a yard away from scoring a touchdown in the third quarter. Josh Allen found Ty Johnson two plays later for the score. With Amari Cooper now on the roster, Kincaid drops to the third option in the passing game. He'll be a low-end TE1 against the Seattle Seahawks next weekend.
Oct 20, 2024 7:38 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) was a full participant in practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Week 7. Kincaid is coming off his best game of the 2024 season, catching a season-high six passes for 51 yards. Unfortunately, a stat line like that was celebrated, as Kincaid has been a fantasy football disappointment this season. The Bills are mainly utilizing him at or near the line of scrimmage. The addition of Amari Cooper could attract defenses away from the tight end, but Buffalo will need to call plays that send Kincaid downfield for him to become a top-six tight end. So far this season, the Titans are the best defense against the position. With his track record and the matchup, Kincaid is a low-end TE1 in Week 7.
Oct 18, 2024 5:28 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report, as it will likely clarify his status heading into the weekend. The 24-year-old enjoyed his best outing of the campaign last week as he caught a season-high six passes for 51 yards en route to defeating the New York Jets. If Kincaid were to miss Sunday's game, fantasy managers should expect wideouts Khalil Shakir and newly acquired Amari Cooper to see increased opportunities. In addition, No. 2 tight end Dawson Knox will likely see more snaps. If Kincaid can play, he should be locked into all lineups as a low-end TE1.
Oct 17, 2024 4:28 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) was limited in the Bills' walk-through practice on Wednesday. Kincaid was not limited in the Bills' Week 6 win over the New York Jets so his appearance on the injury report is concerning for fantasy managers. However, Wednesdays are often rest or limited days for veterans who are a little banged up. Kincaid's status will need to be monitored leading up to the Bills' Week 7 game against the Tennessee Titans. Kincaid has been a relative disappointment for fantasy football in 2024. He was drafted to be a top tight end but he has been anything but that. He has earned at least six targets in three straight games but the arrival of new wide receiver Amari Cooper is sure to cut into Kincaid's target volume. Kincaid's season high in yards is 51 and he has only scored one touchdown. Even if his injury is nothing, he is going to be a mid-to-back-end TE1 in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2024 6:33 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid secured six of his seven targets for 51 yards in the team's narrow victory over the New York Jets. Kincaid led the Bills in catches and targets but trailed running back Ray Davis in receiving yards. Establishing a run-heavy offense, the Bills opted to play two tight ends for most of the game. TE2 Dawson Knox saw plenty of snaps and was on the receiving end of one of Josh Allen's two touchdown passes. Kincaid's usage is encouraging given his sluggish start to the season, but slot receiver Khalil Shakir was barely involved in his first game back from an ankle injury. Kincaid will be a low-end TE1 next week against the Tennessee Titans.
Oct 14, 2024 11:46 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught two passes for 34 yards in the team's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Kincaid tied with Mack Hollins for the team lead in targets. He had a sideline catch that the refs called incomplete that could have been reviewed and just missed on a couple of more opportunities. It's a disappointing result for Kincaid, especially considering top receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) was inactive. However, Josh Allen only completed nine of 30 pass attempts on the afternoon, limiting the upside for Kincaid and the rest of the Buffalo pass-catchers. Kincaid has failed to reach 50 yards in any contest this year and is shaping up to be one of the bigger busts in fantasy football.
Oct 6, 2024 7:37 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is the TE7 on the season, despite an up-and-down campaign so far. Kincaid hasn't topped 50 yards in any game and has only finished as a TE1 once. Fantasy managers can trust Kincaid's floor, especially given the state of the tight-end landscape. Josh Allen should throw the ball more often in what projects to be a more competitive matchup between Buffalo and Houston. Kincaid could see more targets if Khalil Shakir (ankle) is forced to miss the contest. The Texans surrendered the third-fewest fantasy points to the position through four weeks, but the competition (Kylen Granson, Cole Kmet, Johnny Mundt, and Brenton Strange) isn't of Kincaid's caliber.
Oct 4, 2024 10:31 AM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught five passes for 47 yards in the blowout loss to the Ravens on Sunday Night Football. The second-year professional was involved early in the offensive game plan but the Bills found themselves down big in the first half. Despite a game script that favored Bills' pass catchers, Kincaid turned an average fantasy football stat line. Still, he had season-high marks in targets, receptions, and yards and scored enough to be the TE10 entering Monday Night Football. Kincaid provides a safe floor at a struggling position and will be viewed as a TE1 against the Texans in Week 5.
Sep 30, 2024 9:01 AM EST
Week 4 may be the Dalton Kincaid breakout game fantasy managers have been waiting for. The Buffalo Bills tight end has only registered eight catches for 85 yards and one touchdown through three games. Blowouts took him off the field early in the last two games, but that may not be the case on Sunday night. The Ravens should score enough to keep pace with the Bills. Plus, the Ravens are the best rush defense in the league and have allowed the second-most receptions and yards to tight ends this season. Fire up Kincaid as a TE1 in fantasy football lineups this weekend.
Sep 26, 2024 9:54 PM EST
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught three passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in the team's 47-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Allen kept a first-quarter play alive with his legs and found Kincaid in the back of the endzone for a six-yard score. Earlier on that drive, Allen connected with Kincaid on a 28-yard gain. The reception total is still on the lower side, but the Bills barely threw in the second half with a 27-point lead that eventually ballooned to 37. With the touchdown, Kincaid finished as a top-five fantasy football tight end in Week 3. He'll hope to keep that status in Week 4 against the Baltimore Ravens.
