Who Should I Start? Dalton Kincaid or Luke Musgrave

Sunday, December 7, 12:31 AM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is projected to make his return from a three-game absence for this weekend's home tilt with the Cincinnati Bengals. Kincaid has yet to practice in full since injuring his hamstring back in a loss against Miami, although he was able to log a week's worth of limited sessions despite also picking up a knee injury along the way. For now, it appears that he'll suit up, but it's possible he's not ready for a full complement of plays, considering his lack of a full practice. Fortunately, he's shown capable of producing on a limited snap share, so fantasy managers can start him as a strong TE1 if he's active. The third-year pro's status will be worth monitoring before the early window of Sunday's games.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave gained 23 yards on his lone reception in Thursday's 31-24 win over their division-rival Detroit Lions. Musgrave was targeted just once on Thanksgiving and has now recorded exactly one reception in three straight outings. It was thought that the third-year pro would assume Green Bay's TE1 duties after teammate Tucker Kraft (knee) went down for the season with a knee injury. However, that hasn't been the case, as TE John FitzPatrick had out-snapped Musgrave in the previous two games before Week 13's win. Moreover, Jordan Love and the offense have leaned even less on the passing game recently, averaging just 25 pass attempts over the last three contests. Despite a decent amount of playing time, Musgrave can be safely avoided for fantasy purposes until the situation around him shifts.
