Dalton Kincaid Has Streaming Appeal in Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 7:35 AM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid enters Week 1 healthy after making the most of a limited role in 2025. Kincaid caught 39 of 49 targets for 571 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games, averaging an impressive 14.6 yards per reception. The concern is whether the volume grows now that DJ Moore has joined Khalil Shakir in Buffalo's receiving corps, with Dawson Knox still involved at tight end. Houston was also a difficult matchup for the position last season, allowing 775 receiving yards to tight ends, or 45.6 per game, although eight tight end touchdowns kept some scoring upside available. RotoBaller ranks Kincaid TE15 for Week 1. His efficiency and touchdown potential keep him in the streaming conversation, but he is better viewed as a high-end TE2 than a locked-in starter against the Texans.

AJ Barner News

AJ Barner Limited to Two Receptions in Week 1

Thursday, September 10, 5:37 AM

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner (oblique) caught two passes for 13 yards in Week 1 against the New England Patriots. Barner was kept in check all night, with the Seahawks' offense struggling to move the ball at times. Barner entered the season with a path to a serious breakout after scoring six touchdowns and finishing as the TE14 in 2025. That path still exists and should begin to unfold as the Seahawks' offense finds its footing. With quarterback Sam Darnold (hip) sidelined in Week 1, it is unclear who will be under center next week. However, quarterback Drew Lock is a capable backup, and he should not affect Barner's ability to produce. For now, Barner is still best viewed as a TE. He can still emerge as the season wears on, but we will need to monitor his usage, particularly in the red zone. Expect better production when Seattle visits Arizona in Week 2.
