Who Should I Start? Dalton Kincaid or Elijah Arroyo

Monday, November 17, 3:48 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not practice on Monday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kincaid suffered a hamstring injury in Week 10 and wasn't cleared to play in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old has two days left to get back on the practice field, but on a short week, his chances of playing on Thursday night against the Houston Texans could be slim. The Bills listed Kincaid as week-to-week last week, so fantasy managers should be preparing for him to miss a second straight game in Week 12. With Kincaid sidelined in Week 11, backup Dawson Knox played 75% of the offensive snaps but caught just one of his three targets for 23 yards despite the Bills hanging a 44 spot on the Bucs. If Kincaid misses another game, Knox should be considered a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in fantasy football.

Through the first nine games of his NFL career, Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo has recorded 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets. While Arroyo has flashed upside, his production ceiling is limited as he splits snaps with fellow Seahawks tight end AJ Barner. The Seahawks have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Through 10 weeks, the Rams defense is allowing the seventh-fewest (6.6) yards per pass attempt in the NFL. Arroyo has not recorded more than five targets or four catches in any game this season, and he appears unlikely to surpass those marks against Los Angeles. Fantasy managers should avoid starting Arroyo in Week 11 against the Rams.
