George Kittle News
Thursday, June 4, 12:27 PM
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) said he is "on track" to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Kittle tore his Achilles tendon on January 11 during San Francisco's NFC Wild Card round win over the Philadelphia Eagles. However, it appears as though the 32-year-old has a chance to get back on the field roughly eight months after the injury. Kittle battled through an injury-marred 2025 regular season even before the Achilles tear, missing six games due to ankle and hamstring injuries. However, the veteran tight end remained highly productive when healthy, recording 57 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns on 69 targets. With Kittle coming off a serious injury and entering his age-33 campaign, it's fair to project a bit of decline in his production. Still, he profiles as a top-12 fantasy tight end if he can truly make it back for the start of 2026.

Dalton Kincaid News
Friday, June 12, 6:25 AM
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had one of his most efficient seasons in 2025, recording 39 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns on just 49 targets. However, hamstring, oblique, and lingering knee injuries limited him to just 12 games. Kincaid has now missed nine contests over the past two seasons. Even when active, the Bills have limited his snap counts: In 2025, Kincaid played fewer than 50% of his team's offensive snaps in every game following Week 5. Entering 2026, Kincaid is reportedly fully healthy and feeling as good as he's felt since entering the NFL. If he can maintain his efficiency while shouldering a larger workload, Kincaid could finally emerge as a high-impact fantasy tight end. Still, the 26-year-old's extensive injury track record and his usage in Buffalo to this point in his career are red flags. Kincaid profiles as a high-risk, high-reward buy-low candidate for dynasty managers.
