Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Dalton Kincaid

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz could face competition from rookie Ben Sinnott heading into the 2024 season, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic. Ertz landed with Washington during free agency as the Commanders looked to replace fellow veteran Logan Thomas. While Ertz currently has a grasp on the No. 1 tight end role, Washington did spend a second-round pick on Sinnott, a Kansas State product, suggesting there could be some competition and turnover at the position. Standig writes that "Sinnott's unique versatility means he could carve out a role in offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's attack," implying the rookie has an inside track to earning targets right away. Ertz might still be the preferred option to open the year, but Sinnott will get involved. As a result, both tight ends should be avoided in most redraft formats. Sinnott, however, is an intriguing depth name in dynasty leagues.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid led his team with 45 receiving yards as they were beaten 27-24 by the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday's Divisional Round, gathering each of his five targets. Kincaid held on for a tough 15-yard grab along the right sideline on Buffalo's opening possession for his longest pickup, and quarterback Josh Allen turned to him frequently late in the game as a chain-moving presence. There were plenty of ebbs and flows to Kincaid's rookie campaign, but it should be deemed a success overall. The 24-year-old first-rounder concluded his season with either five catches or 59 yards in each of his final four showings all told, bouncing back from a shaky string of play and establishing himself as one of Allen's new favorite weapons. Gabe Davis (knee) is an unrestricted free agent this spring, meaning Kincaid could enter 2024 as the Bills' No. 2 target behind Stefon Diggs and a top-12 option in summer drafts.
