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.

Gunnar Helm has TE2 Streaming Potential in Season Opener Against Jets

Saturday, September 12, 8:55 AM

Tennessee Titans second-year tight end Gunnar Helm is not going to be considered a TE1 yet in any fantasy football leagues as he begins his second year in the NFL, but there is intriguing potential with the former fourth-rounder from the University of Texas now that Chig Okonkwo is no longer in town in 2026. In 16 games with the Titans as a rookie in 2025 while sharing snaps and targets with Okonkwo, Helm caught 44 of 55 targets for 357 yards and two touchdowns. The 24-year-old will be looking to build on those numbers as a sophomore in a new offense led by coordinator Brian Daboll. The 6-foot-5, 241-pounder gradually took over as Tennessee's primary tight end late last year and has a path to a much bigger year under Daboll, especially if second-year QB Cam Ward can take the necessary steps towards improvement in his second season. In a Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets on Sunday, fantasy managers in deeper two-TE leagues can absolutely use Helm in a starting spot as he looks to get his second season started on the right foot.
