Kincaid had a great game in Week 9 against Kansas City with six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets. He now has five games this season with at least four targets, and he scored at least 14.8 PPR points in four of them. One of those games was Week 3 against Miami, when he had five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets, and the Dolphins are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Four tight ends have scored at least 10.3 PPR points against Miami in the past four games, and Kincaid has top-five upside in all leagues in this matchup.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
We don't get Brock Bowers on the main slate this week, and Trey McBride is facing the Seahawks, so I am going with Dalton Kincaid as my top play in DFS. The Dolphins have had troubles covering tight ends this year, and Kincaid scored 17.6 PPR Fantasy points against them earlier this year.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Puts it all together in Week 9
Rotowire
Kincaid hauled in all six of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Chiefs.
Sunday's production tied Kincaid's previous season highs in targets and receptions from a six-catch, 108-yard outing against the Patriots in Week 5. The 25-year-old was able to tack on his fourth receiving touchdown of the season in the win over the Chiefs, culminating in his finest fantasy performance to date in 2025. Kincaid upped his season line to 27-411-4 through seven appearances, with a couple of low-usage games holding him back from a true breakout season. Kincaid will look to carry the momentum from Sunday's showing into a road matchup against the Dolphins in Week 10.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Kincaid was quiet in Week 8 at Carolina in his return from a one-game absence with an oblique injury. He had one catch for 23 yards on three targets against the Panthers, but I'm not expecting much more from him in Week 9 against Kansas City. The Chiefs are No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and only Mark Andrews in Week 4 and Sam LaPorta in Week 6 have scored at least 10.0 PPR points against Kansas City, with LaPorta catching the lone touchdown the Chiefs have allowed to the position. Prior to missing Week 6, Kincaid had scored at least 9.8 PPR points in three games in a row, but he scored just 7.1 PPR points in his lone meeting with Kansas City in 2023. I would only start Kincaid in deeper leagues in Week 9.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Quiet in return to action
Rotowire
Kincaid (oblique) brought in one of three targets for 23 yards in the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Making his return from a one-game absence that predated the Week 7 bye, Kincaid made a splash on his one catch but otherwise was quiet. The third-year tight end had posted a 108-yard performance against the Patriots in Week 5 before sitting out Week 6, but he's now recorded 48 receiving yards or less in four of his other five games heading into a Week 9 clash with the Chiefs at home next Sunday afternoon.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Suiting up Week 8
Rotowire
Kincaid (oblique) is active for Sunday's game at Carolina.
After sitting out a Week 6 loss to the Falcons before the Bills went on bye Week 7, Kincaid looks ready to give it a go Sunday following three limited practices this week. The 2023 first-round pick should continue to fill his usual role as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end, though he's unlikely to dominate the snaps at the position since Buffalo remains keen on keeping Dawson Knox involved due to his blocking prowess.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Kincaid (oblique) will be limited in Friday's practice and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid, who was inactive for the Bills' loss to the Falcons in Week 6 after being limited at practice three consecutive days, has yet to upgrade to full participation since then, and given his questionable designation, the tight end's Week 8 status won't be known until the inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kincaid ends up limited or sidelined versus Carolina, Dawson Knox would be in line to see added snaps/targets, with Jackson Hawes available to mix in.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Still limited Thursday
Rotowire
Kincaid (oblique) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Kincaid, who missed the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Falcons after being limited at practice three consecutive days, thus far has been unable to upgrade his participation level as Sunday's game against the Panthers approaches. Unless that happens Friday, he'll presumably carry an injury designation into the weekend. If Kincaid is limited or out versus Carolina, fellow TEs Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes would be in line for added snaps Week 8.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: To be limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Kincaid (oblique) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Kincaid was inactive for the Bills' Week 6 loss to the Falcons after logging three straight limited practice listings. On the heels of the team's bye, the tight end will remain limited Wednesday as his team prepares for Sunday's game against the Panthers. In his absence versus Atlanta, fellow TE Dawson Knox caught one of his two targets for 19 yards, while Jackson Hawes wasn't targeted.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Questionable for MNF
Rotowire
Kincaid (oblique) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Atlanta.
Kincaid donned a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice and spent the entirety of Week 6 prep as a limited participant due to an oblique injury. With a Monday night kickoff on tap, there won't be many options to turn to if Kincaid ends up inactive. Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes currently are the TE options on the Bills' active roster.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Kincaid (oblique) was limited at practice Thursday.
Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, Kincaid sported a non-contact jersey during Thursday's session, with the Bills' first practice report of the week revealing that the tight end is working through an oblique issue. Kincaid now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Monday night's game against the Falcons. In this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots, Kincaid logged a 54 percent snap share while catching all six of his targets for a team-high 108 yards.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Wearing non-contact jersey
Rotowire
Kincaid (undisclosed) is wearing a non-contact jersey at Thursday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Kincaid appears to be dealing with an injury ahead of Monday's road matchup against the Falcons. At the latest, Thursday's official injury report will reveal both the nature of Kincaid's issue and his practice level. The third-year pro has scored three times across five-regular season appearances so far, and he surpassed 100 receiving yards Week 5 versus the Patriots, performances which have inspired confidence in his status as a weekly fantasy starter. If Kincaid were to miss any time, Dawson Knox would step into the No. 1 role at tight end.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Starting Tight Ends
Rotowire
Kincaid was the best player for the Bills in Week 5 against New England with six catches for 108 yards on six targets, and he's now scored at least 14.8 PPR points in three of five games this season. Atlanta is actually No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, but the Falcons have faced Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Carolina and Washington to open the year. No tight end had more than four targets against Atlanta, and Kincaid has exactly six targets in three of his past four games. I like Kincaid as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Starting Tight Ends
Rotowire
Kincaid has now scored a touchdown in three of four games this year, and hopefully, he can find the end zone again in Week 5 against the Patriots. New England allowed two touchdowns to Tommy Tremble and Mitchell Evans for the Panthers in Week 4, and Brock Bowers beat up the Patriots for 15.3 PPR points in Week 4. Kincaid has faced New England three times in his career, and he scored at least 12.7 PPR points in two of those outings. I like him as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues in Week 5.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
There are several quality streaming tight ends to use in Week 2, and Kincaid is among that group after a solid debut in Week 1 against the Ravens. He had four catches for 48 yards and a touchdown on four targets, and he could benefit in Week 2 at the Jets if Keon Coleman struggles to get open against Sauce Gardner. The Jets just allowed the Steelers tight ends of Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiemuth to combine for eight catches for 43 yards and a touchdown, and Kincaid should be considered a low-end starter in all leagues. He's also scored at least 10.6 PPR points in two of four career meetings with the Jets.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Gets scoring started in wild win
Rotowire
Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.
Kincaid scored a 15-yard touchdown on the opening drive but was relatively quiet the rest of the way, especially considering Josh Allen ultimately threw for 394 yards. This was nonetheless an encouraging performance from Kincaid, who had only two regular-season touchdowns apiece in the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. Dawson Knox had two catches for 20 yards and rookie fifth-round pick Jackson Hawes also had a 29-yard catch, but Kincaid clearly looks like the top receiving option among Buffalo's tight ends heading into Week 2 against the Jets.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Unlikely to be full-time player
Rotowire
Kincaid isn't expected to see an expanded role in 2025 compared to what he handled last season, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
When both Kincaid and fellow tight end Dalton Knox were healthy last season, the former played 66 percent of the offensive snaps, and the latter took on a 56 percent share. Based on his observations during training camp and the preseason, Buscaglia notes that because Kincaid "still has his hangups as a blocker," the 25-year-old's playing time isn't expected to dramatically exceed the 66 percent mark from 2024, at least not in the early part of the season. Though Kincaid is fully healthy again after a knee injury kept him from playing in three games in the second half of last season and may have affected his workload upon returning to action, the Bills don't yet seem prepared to lean on him as a true full-time player. Kincaid brings more pass-catching upside to the table, but Knox's importance as a run blocker and occasional underneath target for quarterback Josh Allen should ensure that Knox has a meaningful role in the Buffalo offense.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Sees limited work Saturday
Rotowire
Kincaid caught his only target for 10 yards in Saturday's 34-25 preseason loss to the Giants.
The third-year tight end hauled in a Mitchell Trubisky pass on Buffalo's first drive and quickly checked out of the game after that, with Dawson Knox instead catching a red-zone TD pass from Trubisky in the second quarter. Kincaid is locked into the top spot on the depth chart, but his first task in 2025 is just to stay on the field. Knee injuries limited him to 13 regular-season games last season. which resulted in 44 catches for 448 yards and two touchdowns on 75 targets, a big step back in production from his dynamic rookie campaign. Kincaid appeared fully healthy in Saturday's cameo appearance, but he's already dealt with some knee soreness in training camp, an ominous sign for his fantasy value.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Kincaid (knee) is participating in Tuesday's practice, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Kincaid sat out practice Monday due to knee soreness, but he's back on the field Tuesday. The third-year tight end has bulked up for the 2025 season, and there are no indications that the soreness he dealt with is anything more than minor. Kincaid battled lingering issues in both knees last season, including a torn PCL that contributed to his disappointing sophomore production. Fantasy managers anticipating a Year 3 breakout from Kincaid will want to see if he's able to avoid any further absences in training camp.
