Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Dalton Kincaid

Sunday, January 4, 11:50 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity this week. Pitts has frequently appeared on the injury report this year, but he never ended up missing a game. He has officially been active for all 17 games for the third season in a row. Pitts has been playing at an elite level ever since Kirk Cousins took over at quarterback, and it has allowed him to rank as the overall TE2 in full-PPR leagues to this point. He'll look to cap off his strong second half of the season in a competitive game against the Saints on Sunday. As it stands, he ranks as a top-five fantasy tight end.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited again in practice on Thursday. Kincaid should be ready to go for the Wild-Card playoff tilt on Sunday against the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old missed some time due to injury in 2025, but he was still the team's second-leading receiver with 571 yards in 12 games, and he led the Bills with five touchdown grabs. Kincaid is coming off a three-catch, 48-yard game in the regular-season finale against the New York Jets in a game in which quarterback Josh Allen didn't play behind the first snap. He should be considered firmly in the TE1 mix for fantasy managers competing in playoff leagues while going up against a Jaguars defense that allowed the 10th-most half-PPR points per game to opposing TEs. Kincaid was tied for 11th at the position this year with 8.9 half-PPR fantasy points per game.
