Who Should I Start? Dalton Kincaid or Mason Taylor

Thursday, August 7, 1:52 PM

Trainers were seen checking on Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's (ankle) lower left ankle during training camp practice on Thursday, according to Nick Sabato of the Niagara Gazette. Kincaid was getting his ankle taped up to test it out. It sounds like Kincaid stayed in at practice, but it's notable since it's on the same side as his knee injury that he dealt with earlier in camp. It's unclear if the Bills will have the 25-year-old play in the preseason opener on Saturday against the New York Giants. If healthy, Kincaid will be looking to bounce back in 2025 after a disappointing 44-448-2 line in 13 regular-season games (nine starts) in 2024. The former first-rounder had 73 catches, 673 yards and two scores as a rookie. The Bills offense spreading things around hasn't helped Kincaid's cause, and Dawson Knox is also still around. Consider him a TE2 with upside in upcoming fantasy drafts.

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (ankle) has returned to training camp practice and is a full-go, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Taylor has recovered quickly from what was being called a high-ankle sprain. The 21-year-old second-rounder missed the team's preseason opener last week, but now that he's back to full practices, he should be able to suit up for Saturday's second preseason game against the New York Giants. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues are probably going to ignore Taylor in 12-team leagues, but it's worth noting that he's fully expected to open the year as the Jets' top pass-catching tight end. The Jets' offense is expected to lean heavily on the ground game, but quarterback Justin Fields won't have many weapons to throw to outside of WR1 Garrett Wilson. Taylor should be a TE3 with upside for more.
