Who Should I Start? Jake Ferguson or Dalton Kincaid

Friday, January 2, 7:54 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) has been removed from the Week 18 injury report and will play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants. Ferguson didn't practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday, and upgraded to a full practice on Friday. The 26-year-old will be active this weekend, but after not finishing last week's Christmas Day win over the Washington Commanders, the Cowboys probably are in no hurry to play Ferguson the same as they normally would in a meaningless game. Fantasy managers should consider him to be a very volatile streaming option at the position, especially since quarterback Dak Prescott might not play a full game. Ferguson was a big part of Dallas' high-scoring offense in 2025, setting career-highs in catches (81) and touchdown receptions (eight) while racking up 595 receiving yards in 16 games.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will take a questionable designation into Week 18 after a week of limited practices, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kincaid missed the team's Week 17 loss to the Eagles after taking only 19 offensive snaps in Week 16. With the Bills locked in to play a road game during Wildcard Weekend, only seeding and potential opponent are at stake when they host the Jets on Sunday. It remains unclear how much run Buffalo will give their starters in a game in which they are favored by more than a touchdown, and given Kincaid's recent struggles, he is best left on the bench by any fantasy managers still competing for a Week 18 championship.
