Who Should I Start? Dalton Kincaid or Tyler Warren

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. The 26-year-old has operated in a reduced role this season, playing just 40.1% of the offensive snaps in games where he's active. With that said, he has still scored five touchdowns, breaking his previous career-high of two. His absence will create more opportunities for Dawson Knox, who is expected to start at tight end against the Eagles. He ranks as a solid fantasy TE2 in the Bills' strong offense.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has had a very solid rookie season overall in 2025, recording 66 catches for 748 yards and four touchdowns on 99 targets across 15 games. However, the 23-year-old has hit a dry spell of late, averaging just 2.8 receptions and 21.5 receiving yards per game over his last four contests. On the bright side, Warren has remained a featured pass-catcher in the two games since Philip Rivers has taken over as the starting quarterback in Indianapolis. Rivers has targeted Warren 15 times, including nine in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers. Still, Warren has turned those targets from Rivers into just six receptions for 49 yards. In Week 17, the Colts will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville has allowed some passing production this season, entering the week ranked 18th in the NFL in total passing yards allowed (3,492) and 27th in passing touchdowns allowed (26). Still, fantasy managers may find Warren difficult to trust given his recent lack of production. Overall, he profiles as a borderline fantasy TE1 in Week 17.
