Dalton Kincaid Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a TD. It was a solid fantasy outing, but he played fewer snaps than Dawson Knox. Kincaid was on the field for 49.4% of snaps compared with Knox’s 57.6%. He flashed his receiving ability, but managers should be cautious before trusting him as a weekly starter.

Buffalo Bills’ WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir suffered a high right ankle sprain in the team's Saturday practice at the stadium. HC Sean McDermott told reporters Sunday that Shakir is "week to week." Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports says sources project a 4-5 week expected absence.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid missed Monday's practice with what HC Sean McDermott described as "knee soreness." Kincaid was spotted on the sidelines with a sleeve on his left knee. That's the same knee in which he sprained his PCL last year. McDermott did not give a timetable for Kincaid's return.

After a sophomore season short on downfield targets, Bills TE Dalton Kincaid appears to be in line for more vertical looks in year three, according to Bills Digest’s Alex Brasky. It could be just what Kincaid needs to rebound after a disappointing 2024.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid revealed that he dealt with an "uncommon" right knee injury last season called a Morel-Lavallee Lesion. Kincaid described the injury as “a form of bursitis where basically the skin underneath the knee is filling up with fluid." The injury is believed to have occurred in Week 16, according to Banged-Up Bills' Dr. Kyle Trimble, who adds that "it should heal just fine."

Bills GM Brandon Beane and HC Sean McDermott mentioned "play strength" as an area they'd like to see TE Dalton Kincaid improve in this offseason. "Dalton Kincaid didn’t have the year that he expected or we expected. He’s gonna have to continue to work on his play strength," Beane said. "He got nicked up and I think that set him back." Beane is referring to the Week 10 PCL injury that cost Kincaid three games. He averaged just 2.7 catches, 27.2 yards, and 0 TDs over his final six games (including playoffs). Kincaid averaged 3.6 catches, 36.9 yards, and 0.2 TDs over his first nine healthy games.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid played through a torn PCL in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. The news comes via teammate Dawson Knox, who adds that Kincaid “aggravated” his other knee. “It’s insane what he’s played through,” Knox concluded. Kincaid missed three regular season games with an injury to his left knee and didn’t look right for most of 2024. He finished just 22nd in PPR points per game after slotting 13th as a rookie. A balanced offense hurts Kincaid’s chance of a 2025 rebound, but he has the talent to earn TE1 status.

The forecast for today's Jets-Bills game calls for a 45-60% chance of rain throughout the contest with sustained winds of 15 mph and gusts around 30 mph. They're far from ideal conditions but shouldn't kill either passing game. The game still has a 44.5-point over/under, with the Bills implied for 27.25 points. We're not adjusting our projections for this one.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid returned from a three-game knee injury for Sunday's win over the Lions. He drew 7 targets to tie WR Khalil Shakir for the team lead. Kincaid caught four of them for 53 yards. But he also trailed Dawson Knox in playing time.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. It’ll be his first action since Week 10. Kincaid was a full-go in practice all week but listed as questionable, so he’s probably still not at 100%. Throw in the matchup against the league’s top-ranked TE defense and Kincaid is not a recommended TE1 play today.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. He was a full participant in practice all week, so we’re expecting him to play. But the questionable listing suggests that Kincaid still isn’t back to 100%. We’d try to keep Kincaid on fantasy benches this week.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) put in a full practice on Wednesday. That should set him up to return for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. Kincaid is in the midst of an underwhelming sophomore season, is coming off a four-week absence, and draws Detroit's top-ranked TE defense. We'd try to not use him in Week 15 fantasy lineups.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. That again leaves Dawson Knox as Buffalo’s lead TE. He’s registered 82% and 68% route rates with Kincaid out the last two games and is a viable spot starter today against the Rams’ 20th-ranked TE defense.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Rams today, NFL Network reports. Kincaid returned to limited practices this week but evidently isn't ready for game action yet. We're tentatively expecting him back for Week 15's showdown with the Lions. Kincaid's absence today keeps TE Dawson Knox in play as a spot-start option against the Rams' 20th-ranked TE defense.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. It looks like he’d be at less than 100% if he ends up playing. We’d try to avoid Kincaid in Week 14 fantasy lineups. If he ends up sitting, TE Dawson Knox would be a viable low-end TE1.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid was limited in practice on Wednesday. It’s his first practice since suffering a PCL (knee) injury in Week 10. We’ll keep tabs on his practice participation over the next couple of days. Even if he's active, the second-year TE will be a shaky fantasy option vs. the Rams.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the 49ers. He didn’t practice all week and didn’t seem close to playing in this one, leaving him iffy for Week 14. Kincaid’s absence will again leave Dawson Knox as Buffalo’s lead TE. He posted a 4-40-0 line on six targets and an 82% route rate last time out. But he doesn’t crack TE1 territory in the Week 13 Rankings against the 49ers’ sixth-ranked TE defense.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. That doesn't bode well for his chances of returning for Sunday night's game vs. the 49ers. We'll keep you posted on Kincaid's status over the next few days, but fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on having him available this week as of now.
