Who Should I Start? Dalton Kincaid or Ja'Tavion Sanders

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox said on Monday that fellow TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was playing in the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday on a torn PCL in his knee. In addition to that injury, Kincaid aggravated his other knee. "It's insane what he's played through," Knox said. This could help to explain why the 25-year-old second-year tight end had a disappointing sophomore campaign for Buffalo, catching just 44 passes for 448 yards and two touchdowns in 13 regular-season games after he had a 73-673-2 line in 16 games in 2023 in his rookie season. He caught only two of his four targets for 13 yards in the 32-29 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday and had a crucial drop with under two minutes left in the fourth quarter on fourth down that effectively ended Buffalo's season. If Kincaid can move past his knee injuries in 2025, he could be a nice TE sleeper in fantasy drafts this fall.

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders earned one target in Week 17 and turned that into a five-yard reception in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In this one, Sanders took a clear backseat to the Panthers' receivers, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette. In addition, the Buccaneers dictated game flow in this one, as they dominated the game and time of possession with 41 minutes compared to the Panthers' 19, making it difficult for Carolina's playmakers to make a difference in this contest. Sanders became fantasy-relevant in the middle of the season with 18 catches for 212 yards and a touchdown from Week 6 through Week 10. However, since Week 14, he has only earned three total targets, making him nothing more than a dynasty stash for fantasy managers. The Panthers will travel to Atlanta this week to take on the Falcons, and Sanders should be on your bench.
