Dalton Kincaid Trending Towards Enhanced Role in 2026

Friday, August 21, 6:59 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's "health, summer usage, and ability are all trending towards an enhanced role in 2026," per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Kincaid was a productive player on a per-target basis in 2025, recording 39 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets across 12 games. However, the 26-year-old has missed nine games due to injuries over the past two seasons. The Bills also limited his usage in games where he was active in 2025, as Kincaid played fewer than 50% of his team's offensive snaps in 11 out of 14 contests (including the playoffs) last season. However, Buscaglia reports that Kincaid was one of the stars of Buffalo's joint practice session with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, and that Kincaid's production has stood out all summer long. If Kincaid can finally put together a fully healthy year, he could be on the verge of a long-awaited breakout season for fantasy managers.

Cade Stover Avoids ACL Damage

Wednesday, January 21, 8:44 PM

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover's (knee) MRI exam showed no damage to his ACL, a league source told Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Sports. Stover was unable to make much happen after fellow tight end Dalton Schultz (calf) left the Divisional Round loss to the New England Patriots before getting hurt himself in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old caught one of his three targets for only two yards. The good news is that Stover should be a full-go for training camp in the summer and for Week 1 of the regular season in the fall. In his second year in the league, the former fourth-rounder caught just 12 passes for 76 yards and no touchdowns on 16 targets in nine regular-season games. As long as Schultz is healthy going into the start of the season, Stover won't be fantasy relevant. He had a 15-133-1 line in 15 games in 2024 in his rookie campaign.
