Who Should I Start? Dalton Kincaid or Noah Gray

Thursday, January 1, 3:24 PM

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Kincaid's status for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival New York Jets is still up in the air after he was inactive for last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee) has been limited so far this week as well. Although Buffalo can still technically move up to the No. 5 seed for the playoffs with a win this Sunday, the coaching staff is debating whether they will rest some of their starters against the Jets. Kincaid is typically a pretty safe bet as a TE1 in fantasy football, but with his status up in the air going into Week 18, he's shaping up as a risky fantasy play. Quarterback Josh Allen's (foot) status is also worth watching going into the weekend.

After a career year in 2024, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray hasn't played a major role in the offense in 2025. Gray has totalled 18 catches (32 targets) for 148 yards in 15 games this season and has yet to find the end zone after scoring five times last year. The 26-year-old's lowest snap share in a game this season was 32.3% in Week 12, so the veteran was still a part of the Chiefs offense, but he has only been targeted on 13% of his routes, down from 16% last year. The Chiefs' pass-catching situation was much more dire in 2024 than in 2025, with Rashee Rice back in the mix for most of the season, which in part led to the dip in production for Gray. However, with plenty of rumors surrounding the possibility of legendary tight end Travis Kelce retiring at the end of the season, Gray could be stepping into a starting role in 2026, which would be a big boost to his fantasy value.
