Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Dalton Kincaid

Saturday, August 16, 3:55 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is expected to make his preseason debut in the team's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran is entering his ninth professional season at 31 years old after a stellar 2024 campaign in which he hauled in 78 receptions for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the league's best tight ends. Kittle, considered a stalwart and the heart of the team, will look to get some valuable reps ahead of the regular season.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has "been a steady target of Josh Allen's throughout training camp," according to Alex Brasky of SI.com. That carried over into Friday's joint practice with the Chicago Bears. Brasky writes that he "would take the over on all of Kincaid's futures this season" and believes it will be a "big rebound year for him." Kincaid caught his only target for 10 yards in last Saturday's preseason opener against the New York Giants. Big things were expected of the 25-year-old after he was taken in the first round in 2023, and he had a nice 73-673-2 line in 16 games as a rookie. However, he regressed with a 44-448-2 line in 13 games in 2024. The Bills offense likes to spread the ball around, and Dawson Knox is still in the picture, but Kincaid is still too young to completely write off. He's a great high-end TE2 target with upside this year.
