Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Dalton Kincaid

Saturday, November 22, 1:49 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant has enjoyed an uptick in production of late. He scored a touchdown in two of his previous four appearances. The 28-year-old is also coming off his second five-catch game of the season. With that said, Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was activated from the Injured Reserve list and is set to make his return for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. With Ja'Marr Chase sidelined for that one in order to serve a one-game suspension, there will be additional targets up for grabs behind Tee Higgins. Although Gesicki is reportedly in line for a more prominent role in Week 12, it appears Fant has a good thing going with Joe Flacco, meaning the duo may continue to connect. While Gesicki's presence significantly lowers Fants' ceiling, it's hard to imagine he'll go away completely, giving him some upside for desperate, deep-league fantasy managers.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, according to the team. Kincaid opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but was upgraded to limited on Thursday, which potentially puts him in a position to return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old tight end hasn't played since injuring his hamstring during Buffalo's Week 10 loss at the Miami Dolphins, but has been improving in his recovery. Head coach Sean McDermott said earlier this week that "there's a chance" that Kincaid returns this Sunday, and we'll know more about his status after Friday's practice. Kincaid would provide a major lift to a Bills passing attack that has struggled lately, and he'd slot back in as a borderline TE1 for Week 13 if he can play.
