Bills TE Dalton Kincaid finished Sunday's game with just 2 catches for 38 yards among 3 targets. His production struggled amid a poor passing day for Buffalo, but there were a couple of specifics worth noting.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught 7 of 8 targets for 95 yards and a score in Thursday night’s win over the Lions. The targets, catches, and yards led the team. Kincaid was used all over the formation: In-line for 59% of his snaps, in the slot 25% of the time, 8% out wide, and 8% in the backfield. And he was unrecoverable by a Lions secondary that was playing without both its starting safeties. Kincaid’s TD came on a seam route from 16 yards out.

The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia supplied an encouraging update on Bills TE Dalton Kincaid. “This camp and preseason have looked and felt a bit different for Kincaid,” Buscaglia said. “He’s been at practice every day, he looks stronger, and he’s playing with more physicality in the blocking game. Most importantly, his usage during camp practices has seen a bit of a bump, even with tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes fully healthy. It’s not to say that he’s on the precipice of playing 75 percent or more of the team’s offensive snaps, but Kincaid’s health, summer usage, and ability are all trending toward an enhanced role in 2026.”
