Who Should I Start? Jake Ferguson or Dalton Kincaid

Thursday, December 4, 10:20 AM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a key contributor to his team's passing game all season, and he'll remain a strong starting option in all formats on Thursday Night Football, as the Cowboys roll into the Motor City. Ferguson has maintained consistent volume in the passing game eve with George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb putting up great numbers on the outside. Ferguson has at least four catches in each of his last four games and has totaled 162 receiving yards and a touchdown in those four contests. He is up to seven touchdowns on the season, and he remains a very strong starting option against the Lions' defense, which ranks in the middle of the pack against tight ends this season. In a neutral matchup, Ferguson's volume makes him the No. 4 TE this week in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he can be started with confidence in almost all leagues.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Kincaid returns from a three-game absence and will reclaim his role atop the depth chart. He has a fantastic opportunity to produce this week against a Bengals team that has been historically poor when defending opposing tight ends. In fact, the Bengals have allowed the most catches, receiving yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Assuming Kincaid is healthy enough to handle a full or near-full workload, he'll be a mid-range TE1 with high-end upside. He's not a lock to play a full dose of snaps, but even if he's limited, this matchup is too favorable not to take advantage of. Kincaid should be started in all fantasy leagues.
