Dalton Kincaid Ready to Shine Vs. Dolphins

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is ready to shine again in a Week 10 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Kincaid leads all Bills receivers with 411 yards despite missing one game. The Bills' tight end posted his second 100-yard game of the season last week, and faces a Dolphins defense that has given up the fifth-highest weekly score to tight ends this season. In their Week 3 matchup, Kincaid found the endzone while hauling in five catches for 66 yards. Kincaid is a must-start this week in a juicy matchup during the early slate of games.

Dalton Kincaid Leads Bills in Receiving Yards in Week 9 Win

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had a monster game in his team's 28-21 Week 9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, recording six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The 26-year-old has now recorded 27 receptions for 411 yards and four scores on 33 targets across seven games played in 2025. Kincaid missed Buffalo's Week 6 loss due to an oblique injury and was eased back into the lineup in the team's blowout Week 8 win, their first game back from their bye week. He appeared to be back to full health in Week 9, which is a great sign for both fantasy managers and the Bills. Kincaid profiles as a clear fantasy starter at the tight end position heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Dalton Kincaid Off Injury Report, Big Week Expected

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid appears ready for a full workload as the team prepares to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Last week, Kincaid was eased back into the lineup with just a 22% snap share against the overmatched Carolina Panthers. This week, the Bills will need their star at full speed as they take on their biggest AFC competition. In the playoffs last season, Kincaid hauled in just two passes on four targets for 13 yards. Quarterback Josh Allen will look to get Kincaid more involved early in this week's matchup, as the young tight end's impact on this offense continues to grow.

Dalton Kincaid Active for Week 8 Against Panthers

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He is returning from a one-game absence spanning two weeks thanks to Buffalo's bye. The extra week off gave Kincaid extra time to recover, and he's now suiting up for Week 8 despite being listed as questionable. The 26-year-old is having his best season yet in Year 3, catching 20 passes for 287 yards and a career-high three touchdowns while ranking as the overall TE12 in PPR leagues. He should be started with confidence against the Panthers, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025.

Dalton Kincaid Considered Questionable to Return on Sunday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is considered questionable to play in Week 8 on Sunday on the road against the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kincaid did not play in the Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and was unable to upgrade to a full practice this week despite having last week's bye to get extra rest. He's now up in the air for the weekend and could miss his second straight game. If Kincaid is active, though, he should be considered a top-12 tight end option in fantasy as the Bills look to put an end to their two-game losing streak. If Kincaid sits out again versus Carolina, Dawson Knox would again be Buffalo's top pass-catching tight end. Knox was on the field more in Week 6 with Kincaid out and caught his first touchdown of the season, but that was his only catch of the game on just two targets.

Dalton Kincaid Logs Second Straight Limited Practice on Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to an oblique injury. Kincaid missed Buffalo's Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to the injury, and it appears that the Bills' Week 7 bye did not provide him enough time to recover fully. Kincaid has recorded 20 catches for 287 yards and three touchdowns on 24 targets across five games played so far this season. Should he be able to play in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers, Kincaid profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end. If Kincaid remains sidelined, Bills tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes will likely see the majority of the snaps. With Kincaid out in Week 6, Knox recorded one catch for 19 yards and a touchdown on two targets.

Dalton Kincaid Limited Again Wednesday, Week 8 Availability Up in the Air

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) was limited in practice on Wednesday, raising some concern about his status for Week 8 despite the benefit of extra rest over the team's bye week. Kincaid has quickly emerged as one of the most reliable tight ends in fantasy football, scoring three touchdowns in five games and catching 83.3% of his targets while operating as a featured weapon for Josh Allen. Even after missing one contest, his 287 receiving yards lead the team, and he also holds a team-high three scores through the air. The Bills will travel to face the 4-3 Carolina Panthers in what has quietly become a tougher-than-expected matchup, making Kincaid's health even more critical for Buffalo's passing attack. Fantasy managers should monitor his practice progression closely, as another limited session or downgrade could put his Week 8 availability in jeopardy.

Dalton Kincaid Considered "Day-to-Day" After Missing Week 6

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.

Dalton Kincaid Ruled Out for Monday Night

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.

Dalton Kincaid Questionable for Monday Night Showdown vs. Falcons

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.

Dalton Kincaid Limited for Second Straight Day on Friday

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.

Dalton Kincaid Battling Oblique Injury, Officially Limited in Practice on Thursday

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.

Dalton Kincaid Limited Thursday, Wears Non-Contact Jersey

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.

Dalton Kincaid Putting Together Breakout Campaign in 2025?

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.

Dalton Kincaid Remains Reliable Red Zone Threat for Bills

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.

Dalton Kincaid Dependent on Finding End Zone Against Patriots?

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.

Dalton Kincaid on the Rise Entering Week 4

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.

Will Dalton Kincaid Remain a Top Tight End Beyond Week 4?

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.

Dalton Kincaid Leads the Bills in Targets Against the Dolphins

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.

Dalton Kincaid has Decent Matchup in Week 3

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.
