Dalton Kincaid News
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.

Ladd McConkey News
Sunday, August 23, 12:09 PM
After an impressive rookie season in 2024, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey put together a relatively underwhelming sophomore campaign in 2025. Across 16 games, McConkey recorded 66 catches for 789 yards and six touchdowns on 106 targets. However, the 24-year-old looks to be well-positioned for a bounce-back year in 2026. Former Chargers wideout Keenan Allen is now a member of the Indianapolis Colts, which should allow McConkey to play a higher-volume role from the slot. Los Angeles also has a new offensive coordinator in Mike McDaniel, who has a proven track record of getting highly productive seasons out of his top wide receivers. Entering 2026, fantasy managers should view McConkey as a high-end WR2 option.
