Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Dalton Kincaid

Wednesday, June 4, 12:31 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (leg) is back practicing at voluntary organized team activities this week after missing the first few sessions with an apparent leg injury, according to the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander. In his second year working with quarterback C.J. Stroud, Schultz disappointed in 2024 with 53 catches on 85 targets for 532 yards and only two touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (13 starts), especially when considering the season-ending injuries to receivers Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee). Diggs is gone and Dell probably won't play at all in 2025, but the Texans added Christian Kirk via trade and Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel in the draft. The 28-year-old is the team's clear-cut top pass-catching tight end, but Schultz could once again struggle for consistent targets on a week-to-week basis for his fantasy managers.

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.
