Who Should I Start? Theo Johnson or Dalton Kincaid

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson posted modest production in his team's Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots, recording just three catches for 29 yards. However, the 24-year-old tied his single-game season-high with eight targets. Across the last five games he's played with Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, Johnson has hauled in 19 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson also rarely leaves the field in New York, playing at least 89% of the Giants' offensive snaps in three out of the last four weeks. With the Giants on their bye week in Week 14, fantasy managers desperate for a win may be forced to drop Johnson. In leagues with 12 or more teams, Johnson could be worth targeting on the waiver wire and stashing through his bye week, given his favorable Week 15 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is practicing again on Thursday, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. Kincaid was also listed with a knee injury on Wednesday's practice report while continuing to work back from the hamstring injury he suffered during Buffalo's Week 10 loss at the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old tight end appeared close to returning last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers after practicing in a limited capacity all week, but he was ultimately held out. Kincaid has a good chance of returning in Week 14 versus the Cincinnati Bengals after a three-game absence, but more will be known about his status after Friday's practice. He has been productive in the limited number of games he's played this season and would project as a borderline TE1 for Week 14 if he suits up.
