Dalton Kincaid Delivers the Goods, Despite Low Route Rate

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Kincaid’s TD came in the first quarter, as he ran a deep corner route from a slot alignment. The DB in coverage fell, affording plenty of space for Allen to deliver an accurate pass.

Kincaid’s biggest chunk gain went for 47 yards. Buffalo’s O-line supplied Allen enough time to find the TE on a deep crosser, where he eventually found a hole in the Chiefs’ zone. 

Overall, Kincaid’s 6 targets ranked second on the team behind Khalil Shakir's 8. 

Interestingly, Kincaid’s route rate dipped to just 53%. But he delivered on a massive 38% target per route run figure – well above his pre-Week 9 mark of 22%.

We’re likely to see some inconsistent production going forward, especially with how strong Buffalo is running the ball. James Cook excelled once again, this time taking 27 carries for 114 yards. Buffalo also combined for three rushing TDs.

Still, Kincaid’s clearly shown a high-end ceiling in 2025. And a Week 10 matchup vs. Miami turns up more scoring upside. Keep Kincaid active as a fantasy TE1.
