Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 11 game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Kincaid suffered a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and was unable to practice this week. The Bills have a bye next week, so hopefully the extra rest will allow Kincaid to return to face the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 1. With the 25-year-old second-year tight end out this weekend, it means that Dawson Knox will have TE1 upside for fantasy managers, especially if receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) misses a third straight game. Kincaid was expected to have a much bigger role in his sophomore season in Buffalo, but he's only caught 34 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns through 10 games in 2024. Those in need of a streamer at TE in Week 11 should look Knox's way.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was not present at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week after injuring his knee in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Kincaid is probably going to have to put in some work in Friday's practice to even have a shot at suiting up this Sunday when the Bills take on the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers should already be preparing a backup plan in case the 25-year-old is ruled out this weekend. In that scenario, Dawson Knox would be on the TE1 radar, especially if receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) misses his third straight game. Rookie wideout Keon Coleman (wrist) has already been ruled out. Fantasy managers were expecting more from Kincaid in his sophomore campaign, as he's currently averaging 6.5 half-PPR points per game, which ranks 22nd among all TEs.
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Kincaid injured his knee in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts and is now in danger of missing a huge Week 11 tilt against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. However, Kincaid still has two more days to return to the practice field to give him a shot at playing this weekend. The second-year tight end has been a bit of a disappointment for fantasy managers that invested in him in 2024, as he currently ranks as the TE22 in half-PPR points per game (6.5). Before getting hurt last Sunday against Indy, he had two catches on five targets for 24 yards. If Kincaid cannot get cleared to face the Chiefs, Dawson Knox would immediately become an intriguing TE2 streamer, especially if receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) misses a third straight game.
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is doubtful to return against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10. Kincaid exited in the third quarter. Assuming his day is done, Kincaid finishes Sunday's contest with five targets but just two catches and 24 receiving yards. The second-year tight end has been held to single-digit fantasy points in 70 percent of his games this season and will likely fall out of the TE1 tier going forward. Even if he's healthy enough to play next week against the Kansas City Chiefs, fantasy managers can justify benching him.
Dalton Kincaid Questionable To Return Against Colts
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) left Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first half due to a knee injury. At the time, he accounted for two receptions for 24 yards on four targets. The team has officially deemed him questionable to return to the game, so they'll likely perform some tests through halftime to see if he can take the field in the second half. Dawson Knox should see an uptick in snaps and targets while Kincaid is sidelined.
Despite his appearance on the injury report, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is one of the team's healthy receiving options entering Week 10. He's practiced in full every day this week and has no injury designation this weekend. The same can't be said for Amari Cooper (wrist), Keon Coleman (wrist), and Curtis Samuel (pectoral). Coleman has been ruled out, while the other two are questionable. Kincaid saw a season-high in targets (10) with Cooper out of the lineup last week and could also see more usage against the Colts. Unfortunately, he's securing under 60% of targets thrown in his direction. With an easier matchup (Indianapolis allows the third-most fantasy points to tight ends), Kincaid may convert more opportunities. He's a low-end TE1 this week.
Dalton Kincaid Catches Less Than Half His Targets In Week 9
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four of 10 targets for 32 yards in the team's 30-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins. That was a season-high target mark for Kincaid but he could not reel in half of them. Kincaid has over 30 yards in every game except the opener this season but hasn't logged more than 52. It's a continuation of a disappointing 2024 campaign for the second-year tight end. He'll look to have his breakout game in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Dalton Kincaid Projects As A Low-End TE1 Against Miami
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone/knee) has endured a mostly disappointing 2024 campaign, although he scored a touchdown last week. The outlook for Week 9 isn't appealing either. The Dolphins allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends and are better against the pass than the run. Kincaid was already a letdown against the Dolphins in Week 2. He caught four passes for 33 yards and was barely utilized in the second half. Fantasy managers don't need to worry about Kincaid's appearance on the team's injury report. He's been listed with a collarbone issue for the last couple of weeks but has fully practiced through the problem. They do need to worry about the production. Kincaid is a low-end TE1 for Week 9.
Dalton Kincaid Catches A Touchdown On National Tight Ends Day
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Kincaid finished tied for second on the team in targets (seven), trailing wide receiver Khalil Shakir. His touchdown came from 12 yards out just before halftime. The score saved what was otherwise a mediocre performance on National Tight Ends Day. Fellow tight end Dawson Knox tallied more yards (50) on two receptions. Kincaid will be a low-end TE1 when the Bills host the Miami Dolphins next week.
Dalton Kincaid’s Best Opportunity Coming In Week 8?
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (collarbone) is off the injury report and ready to suit up against the Seattle Seahawks. He's been managing a collarbone issue that has limited him in practice for the last couple of weeks. Kincaid has been a fantasy football disappointment this season (TE12, season-high of 52 yards) but has an opportunity to right the ship against the Seahawks. Seattle allows the fifth-most yards and eighth-most fantasy points to the position. Fantasy managers hope Amari Cooper can draw defensive attention away from Kincaid and allow him to finish as a TE1.
