Dalton Kincaid Fantasy

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid corralled 5-of-6 targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 23-year-old built on his Week 1 debut in this one, but watched as Dawson Knox found the end zone in the second quarter. Kincaid still out-produced him 43-10 in yardage, so fantasy managers can hang their hats on that moving ahead. The 2023 first-rounder's value should only rise with each passing week, but he remains just out of arm's reach in terms of TE1 evaluation until he receives a more noticeable majority of the tight-end targets in Buffalo's two-TE heavy sets.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid delivered a respectable NFL debut with four catches for 26 yards in Week 1 against the New York Jets. The 23-year-old encouragingly tallied the third-most snaps in the slot (28) and routes run (38) of all Week 1 TEs. Though Dawson Knox also received 25 slot snaps and 36 routes, it's rather promising to see the first-year Kincaid already in an equally-divvied up timeshare with the 2022 Pro Bowler. Fantasy managers should expect the two TEs to split work until one or the other pulls away in the battle for playing time, since they played an identical portion of snaps in the season opener. Last year's Las Vegas Raiders defense ranked 23rd in fantasy points per game (12.19) to TEs, but Kincaid is a low-ceiling TE2 in Week 2 unless he expands on his measly 1.5% air yards share from Week 1. The 2023 first-rounder still represents one of the position's stronger luxury stashes for the rest of the season.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid brought in each of his four targets for 29 yards in Monday's 22-16 defeat to the New York Jets. The 23-year-old evenly split targets with Dawson Knox, who also received four looks in this one. Kincaid didn't get much going on a night where quarterback Josh Allen struggled to connect with anybody not named Stefon Diggs, but it was encouraging to see Kincaid play a meaningful allotment of snaps in his professional debut. At 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, the 2023 first-round pick should continue to pose mismatches out of the slot in Buffalo's pass-first attack. Kincaid will look for more room to roam in a more forgiving Week 2 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders in Orchard Park.
