Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Dalton Kincaid

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith (hip) is questionable for Sunday's Week 4 matchup with the Vikings, to be played in Dublin, Ireland. Smith played a full allotment of snaps in the team's Week 3 win over the Patriots, but popped up on the injury report this week. After missing Wednesday's practice, he was a limited participant on Thursday and Friday, signaling that things are trending in the right direction. If Smith is unable to play on Sunday, Pat Freiermuth becomes an interesting fantasy option against a Vikings defense that has been the third most favorable matchup for tight ends through three weeks. Outside of the heavy usage of running back Jaylen Warren, the Steelers' passing attack has looked uninspired since Aaron Rodgers' surprise four-touchdown opener. Should Smith play, he deserves a look by fantasy managers based on the matchup alone, but there are likely better options available.

With 13 catches, 151 yards, and two touchdowns, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has gotten off to a fast start three weeks into the 2025 season. Not only has the third-year man already matched his TD total from each of his first two seasons, but he has led the Bills in targets (12) over the past two weeks. He'll attempt to continue his success in Week 4 against the winless New Orleans Saints. They rank a slightly below-average 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing TEs this season, though they haven't faced a high-end starter since taking on the Arizona Cardinals' Trey McBride in Week 1. McBride recorded six catches for 61 yards on nine targets in a a season-opening victory. Kincaid probably won't have nine passes thrown his way this week, but thanks to his growing rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, he looks like a top 10 TE heading into Sunday.
