Who Should I Start? Dalton Kincaid or Brenton Strange

Wednesday, November 19, 10:47 AM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup against the Houston Texans. Kincaid suffered a hamstring injury in Week 10's loss to the Miami Dolphins and will now miss his second straight game. Before going down, he was on pace for a breakout season, catching 29 of 36 targets for 448 yards and four touchdowns in just eight games. With Kincaid sidelined, Dawson Knox will handle TE1 duties, while rookie Jackson Hawes is expected to see an increased role. However, Knox managed just one catch in Week 11, making him a risky fantasy replacement. Kincaid's next chance to return will be in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday that he's "optimistic" about tight end Brenton Strange (hip) returning in Week 12 to face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, according to Mia O'Brien. However, Coen also said, "I really don't know" about Strange's status. The Jaguars opened the 24-year-old's 21-day practice window last week, and he managed to put in two limited practices before being ruled out for the Week 11 blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Strange is probably going to need to upgrade to full practice this week if the Jags are going to activate him from Injured Reserve and have him active this Sunday in Sin City. But fantasy managers looking for a streaming TE the rest of the way should be looking at Strange, especially since rookie receiver Travis Hunter (knee) is out for the rest of the year. Strange caught 20 passes for 204 yards and no TDs in five games before his injury.
